Amy Gartin 11 October 2011 Page 4 TABLE 3:NOISE MEASUREMENT DATA Monitor Location Measured DNL Approximately 140-feet north of the Weber Avenue L1 centerline;approximately 15-feet east of the F Street 61 dB centerline; 12 feet above grade. Approximately 140-feet south of the Weber Avenue L2 centerline;approximately 310-feet west of the Filbert 61 dB Street centerline(along the alley behind the homes fronting E Myrtle Street); 12 feet above grade. Approximately 55-feet north of the Weber Avenue L3 centerline;approximately 35-feet east of the Filbert Street 75 dB centerline; 12 feet above grade. Approximately 20-feet south of the Weber Avenue L4 centerline;approximately 260-feet west of the Filbert 71 dB Street centerline; 12 feet above grade. Approximately 20-feet south of the Weber Avenue L5 centerline;approximately 250-feet west of the F Street 69 dB centerline; 12 feet above grade. SECTION 3: ANALYSIS Noise and Land-Use Compatibility With the proposed expansion/consolidation of truck operations at the ESTRS on Weber Avenue, additional truck deliveries will be made to accommodate loads that would have otherwise gone to the Lincoln site; however,truck trips between the two sites will now be eliminated.Based on the truck activity data contained in the 16 September 2011 report by Pacific Waste Consulting Group, future truck operations (including expanded hours)will generate a DNL of 72 dB along Weber Avenue (location L4). When added to the existing DNL of noise sources unrelated to the recycling facility above,the total DNL is expected to increase by approximately 3 dB to 74 dB along Weber Avenue(location L4).No noise increase is expected along Filbert Street. For industrial land-uses,the City of Stockton's Noise and Land-Use Compatibility Guidelines stipulate that noise environments between a DNL of 71 and 80 dB are considered"Conditionally Acceptable". Therefore,the expansion of the ESTRS site would not change the current land-use compatibility category and does not increase the DNL by more than 3 dB. City Development Code --Project-Generated Noise The proposed modification/expansion of ESTRS will enlarge the site by approximately 385-feet to the west across F Street according to the October 2011 site plan. In addition,the truck entrance/exit will now be located approximately 210-feet west of the F Street centerline. Based on the site plan it appears that the nearest residential receiver(along E Myrtle Street)will be located approximately 200-feet south of the project entrance/exit, and the nearest commercial receiver will be the convenience store located at the southwest corner of Weber Avenue and N Filbert Street. Based on our measurements, on-site truck activity will generate the noise levels to greet 5�n rcc ., 4 .3
