1-2 Noise

Please explain in detail whether and to what extent the facility will seek relief from the Town’s noise ordinance limitations.

RESPONSE:

 

The Project will comply with the A –Weighted broad band limit of 43 dBA which is consistent with approved EFSB Orders for other power plants. This limit will apply to normal steady state operation of the Project. The Project will seek relief from meeting all of the octave band limits for normal operations and from achieving the A –Weighted broad band limit of 43 dBA for transient modes. The expected transient noise limits are shown in our response to question 1.5.
