summarized.Impacts will be compared to the applicable standards based on the jurisdictional location of impacted sensitive receptors.The existing noise environment will be documented through traffic noise modeling and ambient noise measurements.Up to three(3)short-term and one(1)long-term ambient noise measurements will be conducted on the project site.The purpose of the noise monitoring effort is to establish the existing noise environment for comparison to the City's land use compatibility standards. Construction Noise Impact Analysis Construction of the project would require the short-term operation of heavy equipment in the vicinity of nearby residential and church land uses. EPA recommended noise emission levels will be used for the construction equipment.The construction noise impact will be evaluated in terms of maximum levels (L...)or hourly equivalent continuous noise levels(Leq) and their frequency of occurrence. Noise analysis requirements and thresholds of significance will be based on the sensitivity of the project area and the applicable(City or County)noise ordinance specifications. Operational Noise Impact Analysis A quantitative assessment of long-term operational noise impacts related to existing and project-related vehicular trips will also be performed.Transportation noise in the project area is primarily associated with traffic along Interstate-580.Traffic noise impacts will be assessed using the FHWA Traffic Noise Prediction Model(FHWA-RD-77-108). Required model input data include without-and with-project average daily traffic volumes on adjacent roadway segments, day/night percentages of autos, medium and heavy trucks,vehicle speeds,ground attenuation factors,and roadway widths. Projections of the future traffic Community Noise Equivalent Level(CNEL)along selected roadway segments, based on the traffic study to be prepared for the project,will be provided in a table format to show the distance/contour relationship.Traffic noise impacts will be analyzed for comparison to the City's land use compatibility standards and whether the project would result in a permanent substantial increase in traffic noise levels in the project vicinity. Potential long-term operational noise impacts from project-related stationary noise sources,such as new residential mechanical ventilation system operations,will also be evaluated in comparison to the applicable(City or County)stationary source noise performance thresholds. Summarize Noise Reductions and Significance Findings Mitigation measures designed to reduce short-and long-term noise impacts will be identified where appropriate. Both an evaluation of the potential mitigation measures and a discussion of their effectiveness will be provided.This technical analysis for potential noise impacts will be directly incorporated into the EIR,with noise monitoring readouts and modeling data being placed in the Appendices.This task does not include the preparation of a separate, standalone technical noise study. Public Services and Utilities The Project includes the development of 33 single family residential units which will require new water and sanitary sewer services.There are some known water delivery deficiencies that are currently being studied by the applicant in greater detail.
