~~ • ~ <br />page 2 <br />Noise--Truck and Other <br />1. I have complained numerous times about trucks on 66 con- <br />tracted by the cement plant--NO RESPONSE <br />I have complained about trains at 2 and 3a.m. in the morning-- <br />NO RESPONSE <br />I have mentioned cracks in walls and broken windown--NO RESPONSE <br />So why should I think things will change with the new mining. <br />Why will they suddenly take responsibility. <br />2. There will be no shadowing of noise from Dow Flats because <br />the land is too flat. The noise level will extend 2100 ft. all <br />around the mine site. I am in that zone. <br />3. Horns and backup alarms on the dozer, scraper, and grader <br />must be audible above the surrounding noise level (code). <br />There dB level is always higher than allowed (55) and they will <br />be used alot together. They will also be used in all phases <br />of site development and haul route construction. <br />4. Rock Drill--at grade so no noise reduction. A sound screen <br />will be positioned to sheild north, east, and west. I am south. <br />5. Haul Road-- <br />47th street is on the eastern end of my pasture about 100yds. <br />from the house. I will not be able to keep animals in the pas- <br />ture, the truck noise will scare them. The noise impact on me <br />will be great as I am home during the week and they will be <br />running 10 hrs. a day, 45 trips per hour. <br />The report refers to the noise line as A FUZZY LINE WHICH IS <br />CONTINUOUSLY FLUCTUATIG IN LOCATION. <br />Haul Road--route 2 <br />I am definately within the 1600 ft. range where noise will be <br />loud. The 85 T trucks are always above the 55 dB rate and they <br />will run 14 trips per hour. <br />5. Site Development and Mining Operations <br />All sound level measuring was done with not more than a 5 mph <br />wind. What happens on windy days? <br />This is a residential area, not industrial area and I don't <br />want it changed into one. <br />HAUL TRUCK NOISE EMISSIONS FOR THE VARIOUS HAULING ALTERNATIVES <br />CAUSE SLIGHT EXCEEDANCES OF NOISE STANDARDS AT SOME OFF-SITE <br />PROPERTIES. THESE ARE LOCATED ALONG HWY. 66 AND THE EXISTING <br />TRAFFIC NOISE WILL MASK THE HAUL TRUCK NOISE TO AN EXTENT. <br />I do not need more noise to live with. <br />
