Acoustical Analysis Report Griffith Energy Storage Project <br /> 4.3 Construction Best Practice Design Measures <br /> As shown in Section 4.2 the noise generated from the construction of the project would not generate a <br /> significant impact. However,since construction machines operate intermittently,and the types of <br /> machines in use at the Project site change with the stage of construction, noise emitted during <br /> construction would be mobile and highly variable.Therefore,to help minimize noise impacts the <br /> Project's construction management protocols would implement the following best practice noise <br /> reduction design measures: <br /> oo Maintain all construction tools and equipment in good operating order according to <br /> manufacturers'specifications; <br /> oo Limit use of major excavating and earth-moving machinery to daytime hours (7:00 a.m.to 7:00 <br /> P.M.); <br /> oo To the extent practicable,schedule construction activity during normal working hours on <br /> weekdays when higher sound levels are typically present and are found acceptable. Some <br /> limited activities,such as concrete pours,would be required to occur continuously until <br /> completion; <br /> oo Equip any internal combustion engine used for any purpose on the job or related to thejob <br /> with a properly operating muffler that is free from rust, holes,and leaks; <br /> oo For construction devices that utilize internal combustion engines,ensure the engine's housing <br /> doors are kept closed,and install noise-insulating material mounted on the engine housing <br /> consistent with manufacturers'guidelines, if possible; <br /> oo Limit possible evening shift work to low noise activities such as welding,wire pulling, and <br /> other similar activities,together with appropriate material handling equipment;and <br /> oo Utilize a Complaint Resolution Procedure to address any noise complaints received from <br /> residents. <br /> OTETRA TECH 11 August 2023 <br />
