Response, Comment 55 See Response, Comments 39 and 41. Response, Comment 56 See Response, Comment 17. Response, Comment 57 Noise abatement equipment is being installed by CWI in response to complaints to the company by some local residents adjacent to the Orchard Valley Mine. Since the noise emitted by the equipment at the mining operation is within standards, the company is not in violation of regulation or law. Instead, the company is responding to a complaint by neighbors of noise that is low in intensity, but considered an unwanted intrusion into private lives. For this reason noise was considered to be of social significante, not of significance in itself due to violation of regulations or law.- Noise emitted by transportation would not increase in intensity. The duration of the noise would increase from eight hours per day to sixteen hours per day. Again , the increase would not be in violation of noise standards; however, since there are a number of families living adjacent to the haulage route the increase in . duration of noise would be of especially high significance to, the individual residents.
