Forward Landfill LFG Acoustical Analysis May 18, 2011 APPENDIX A — San Joaquin County Noise Standards 9-1025.9 - NOISE. All uses and property shall be subject to the following provisions concerning noise levels: (a) Transportation Noise Sources. Page 9 (1) Excluding proposed noise sensitive land uses on infill lots, proposed noise sensitive land uses that will be impacted by existing or planned transportation noise sources shall be required to mitigate the noise levels from these transportation noise sources so that the resulting noise levels on said proposed noise sensitive land uses do not exceed the standards specified in Table 9-1025.9, Part I. Proposed noise sensitive land uses on infill lots that will be impacted by existing or planned transportation noise sources shall be required to mitigate the noise levels from these transportation noise sources so that the resulting noise levels on said proposed noise sensitive land uses on such infill lots do not exceed the standards specified in Table 9-1025.9, Part I for interior spaces only. (2) Private development projects that include the development of new transportation facilities or the expansion of existing transportation facilities shall be required to mitigate the noise levels from these transportation facilities so that the resulting noise levels on noise sensitive land uses within and adjacent to said development projects do not exceed the standards specified in Table 9-1025.9, Part I. (b) Stationary Noise Sources. (1) Excluding proposed noise sensitive land uses on infill lots, proposed noise sensitive land uses that will be impacted by stationary noise sources shall be required to mitigate the noise levels from these stationary noise sources so that the resulting noise levels on said proposed noise sensitive land uses do not exceed the standards specified in Table 9-1025.9, Part II. (2) Proposed projects that will create new stationary noise sources or expand existing stationary noise sources shall be required to mitigate the noise levels from these stationary noise sources so as not to exceed the noise level standards specified in Table 9-1025.9, Part IL (c) Exemptions. The following shall be exempt from the provisions of this Chapter: (1) Activities conducted in public parks, public playgrounds and public or private school grounds, including but not limited to school athletic and school entertainment events; (2) Any mechanical device, apparatus or equipment used, related to, or connected with, emergency activities or emergency work; (3) Noise sources associated with construction, provided such activities do not take place before 6:00 a.m. or after 9:00 p.m. on any day; (4) Noise sources associated with the maintenance of residential property located in a residential zone, provided such activities shall take place between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m. on any day; (5) Noise sources emanating from any agricultural operation, including activities associated with the processing or transportation of crops when such activities are conducted on agriculturally zoned lands; (6) Noise sources associated with residential air conditioning equipment, provided such equipment is in good repair; (7) Noise sources associated with work performed by private or public utilities in the maintenance or modification of its facilities; (8) Noise sources associated with the collection of waste or garbage;
