Any municipality having authority to <br />regulate land use shall take all reasonable measures within its jurisdiction to prevent the es- <br />tablishment of land use activities listed in noise area classification (NAC) 1.2, or 3 in any <br />location where the standards established in part 7030.0040 will be violated immediately <br />upon establishment of the land use. <br /> <br />Statutory Authority: MS s 116.07 suhds 2.4 <br /> <br />History: /I SR 43: /8 SR 6/4 <br /> <br />7030.0040 NOISE STANDARDS. <br />Subpart I. Scope. These standards describe the limiting levels of sound established on <br />the basis of present knowledge for the preservation of public health and welfare. These stan- <br />dards are consistent with speech, sleep, annoyance. and hearing conservation requirements <br />for receivers within areas grouped according to land activities by the noise area classification <br />(NAC) system established in part 7030.0050. However, these standards do not, by them- <br />selves, identify the limiting levels of impulsive noise needed for the preservation of public <br />health and welfare. Noise standards in subpart 2 apply to all sources. <br />Subp. 2.

Applicability. The noise area classification is based on the land use activity <br />at the location of the receiver and detennines the noise standards applicable to that land use <br />activity unless an exception is applied under subpart 3. <br />Subp. 2. Noise area classifications.
