• l
• All construction personnel will attend Noise Awareness Training provided by

Metro

• Moveable noise barriers
• Noise control curtains
• Noise muffling enclosures on stationary equipment
• No idling of heavy equipment when not in use
• No slamming tailgates
• Configure operations to eliminate backing movements

• Keep noise levels relatively uniform, avoid excessive and impulse noises
• Truck Manager will be onsite to ensure that trucks idle in and out of site to

reduce noise levels at the site

Mitigation Measures: Noise

42

Vibratio ion

• Vibration Monitoring will be implemented
• If vibration approaches FEIS/R threshold, then operations causing higher levels of vibration

will be minimized

• Vibration exceedance will cause all work activities to stop until corrective active measures

can be implemented

Dust

• During demo, water will be used to control fugitive dust
• Use tarped trucks / covered loads
• Hand sweep work area prior to opening traffic
• Implementation of the Mitigation Monitoring Reporting Program (MMRP)
