2.Executive Summary <br /> TABLE 2.1 (CONTINUED) <br /> SUMMARY OF IMPACTS AND MITIGATION MEASURES <br /> Environmental Impact Mitigation Measures Level of Significance <br /> g <br /> (Level of Slgniflcance Prior to Mitigation) After Mitigation <br /> activities to evaluate the effectiveness of Mitigation <br /> Measure 4.5.1a in reducing resultant sound levels at <br /> outdoor activity areas of nearby sensitive receptors. For <br /> those residences requiring additional sound reduction, <br /> the Applicant shall fund the construction of solid walls <br /> (masonry walls or other similar construction)along those <br /> property lines of the residences facing the project site,if <br /> desired and allowed by the subject property owners. <br /> 4.5.1c For any residences that would exceed an interior noise <br /> level of 45 dBA,Leq indoors,the applicant shall upgrade <br /> house noise reduction via window and door upgrades on <br /> the side of the houses facing the mine,if the landowner <br /> desires and allows the work to be done. <br /> 4.5.1d Nighttime mining shall be prohibited within 1,000 feet of <br /> residences unless noise measurements confirm that <br /> noise levels are below 45 dBA,Leq at the outdoor activity <br /> areas of adjacent residences. <br /> 4.5.2 Operation of the processing plant could potentially 4.5.2 Implementation of Mitigation Measures 4.5.1 a,4.5.1b, Less than Significant <br /> increase ambient noise levels at nearby residence(s). and 4.5.1c would reduce impacts of processing plant <br /> This would be a potentially significant impact.(PS) noise on local residents to a less-than-significant level. <br /> 4.5.3 Traffic associated with operation of the project would 4.5.3 Depending on the selected Haul Route Option,the Significant <br /> result in an increase in ambient noise levels on nearby Applicant shall notify the homeowners(located along the <br /> roadways used to access the mine.This would be a roadway segments that would experience significant <br /> potentially significant impact.(PS) traffic-related noise)of the noise impacts associated with <br /> traffic from project operations. <br /> At the request of homeowners along the affected segments <br /> (limited to a reasonable number of complaints as determined <br /> by the County and not to exceed one year),the Applicant <br /> shall retain a qualified acoustical consultant to evaluate <br /> outdoor activity area and interior noise levels to determine if <br /> roadway traffic associated with the project is resulting in <br /> exterior noise levels that exceed 65 dBA DNI-or interior <br /> noise levels that exceed 45 dBA DNL(the exterior and <br /> interior noise level standards contained in the San Joaquin <br /> County Development Title,respectively).
