Would the project result in-- <br /> a) <br /> n:a) Exposure of persons to or generation <br /> of noise levels in excess of standards • <br /> established in the local general plan <br /> or noise ordinance,or applicable <br /> standards of other agencies? <br /> b) Exposure of persons to or generation1-1 El <br /> ■ <br /> of excessive ground borne vibration <br /> or ground borne noise levels? <br /> c) A substantial permanent increase in Ll ■ ❑ ❑ 11 <br /> ambient noise levels in the project <br /> vicinity above levels existing <br /> without the project? <br /> d) A substantial temporary or periodic ■ Q <br /> increase in ambient noise levels in 11 El <br /> i the project vicinity above levels <br /> existing without the project? <br /> e) For a project located within an ■ <br /> airport land use plan or,where such 11 El 11 11 <br /> a plan has not been adopted,within <br /> two miles of public airport or <br /> public use airport,would the project <br /> expose people residing or working <br /> in the project area to excessive noise <br /> levels? <br /> f) For a project within the vicinity of a ■ ❑ ❑ ❑ ❑ <br /> { private airstrip,would the project <br /> expose people residing or working <br /> in the project area to excessive noise <br /> levels? <br /> SETTING <br /> lThe primary current source of noise at the project site is traffic from Grant Line Road and <br /> Interstate 205 (I-205). The center of the site is approximately 1,200 feet south of Grant Line <br /> Road and 2,500 feet north of 1-205. Construction of Mountain House Community <br /> neighborhoods to the north also contributes to the existing background noise levels. The <br /> project site is located approximately'7.5 [Hiles southeast of the Byron Airport in Contra Costa <br /> County and is also influenced by aircraft fly-over noise. According to the MEIR,portions of <br /> + Neighborhood A, in which the project site is located, fail within the noise impact area of the <br /> airport. <br /> As a part of the SPIIIEIR analysis, a noise survey was conducted in May 2004 to document <br /> the ambient noise environment at various locations in the planning area, in which the <br /> proposed project is located. Based on the measurements taken, average daytime noise levels <br /> (in dBA Leq) in the planning area range from the high 50s to the upper 60s depending <br /> I ' <br /> 4-54 <br /> l <br />
