§ 8107-5.6.14. Exceptions to noise standard.

The noise standard established pursuant to Sec. 8107-5.6.13 shall not be exceeded unless covered under any of the following provisions:

a.

Where the ambient noise levels (excluding the subject facility) exceed the applicable noise standards. In such cases, the maximum allowable noise levels shall not exceed the ambient noise levels plus 3 dB(A).

b.

Where the owners/occupants of sensitive uses have signed a waiver pursuant to Sec. 8107-5.6.25 indicating that they are aware that drilling and production operations could exceed the allowable noise standard and that they are willing to experience such noise levels. The applicable noise levels shall apply at all locations where the owners/occupants did not sign such a waiver.
