Noise generated by Yankee Gulcl: Project construction activity <br />should drop to allowable daytime Industrial zone levels l85 db(A)] <br />at a distance of ,100- 500 feet from the activity. ' <br />87. modeled results/inputs (i.e. estimated number of cars and trucks, both during day and <br />night) and/or calculations/ estimates of daytime and nighttime noise levels of all traffic associated <br />with the project in relation to sensitive receptors <br />Estimated construction- and operations-related traffic volumes for trucks and cars <br />are presented in the Section 8.15, pages 8-43 through 8-46. Both construction truck <br />traffic and commuter traffic will occur primarily during the day, with commuter <br />traffic occuring primarily during two episodes in the early morning and early <br />evening hours. Daring project operations, both sites will 6e operated 24 hours per <br />day, in three shifts. Therefore, commuter traffic will occur primarily during three <br />episodes per 24-hour period. Truck traffic for delivery of supplies and for other <br />purposes will occur primarily during the day. <br />No estimates of noise levels associated with project-related traffic have been made. <br />Socioeconomics <br />88. We need to include socioeconomic data by towns as well as counties. The following data <br />for the towns is needed. <br />Town-specific data that are more recent than the 1990 Census are somewhat difficult <br />to find and have been presented in the Mine Plan to the extent they are available. <br />You may find additional information, but it will likely require considerable time <br />and effort to find it (i.e., interviewing additional local town officials, realtors, etc.). <br />The issue here, of course, is time and budget invested vs. real value added to the EIS <br />analysis. <br />89. Section 7.14.1.1 -Distance in miles these communities aze from the work sites. (Meeker, <br />Rangely, Rifle, Pazachute, and Battlement Mesa) <br />Meeker = 36 miles from the Piceance Site, 57 miles from the Parachute Site; <br />Rangely = 56 mites from the Piceance Site, 113 miles from the Parachute Site; <br />Rifle = 18 miles from the Parachute Site, 40 miles from the Piceance Site; <br />Parachute = 3 miles from the Parachute Site, 55 miles from the Piceance Site; <br />Battlement Mesa = 5 rniles from the Parachute Site, 57 from the Piceance Site; <br />Distances given are road miles. <br />34 <br />
