b. Noise <br /> 1) What types of noise exist in the area which may affect your project (for example: <br /> traffic, equipment, operation, other)? None <br /> 2) What types and levels of noise would be created by or associated with the project on a <br /> short-term or a long-term basis (for example: traffic, construction, operation, other)? <br /> Indicate what hours noise would come from the site. Construction noise from <br /> jackhammers, excavation, trucks, equipment etc.will occur during active <br /> construction Spring 2018 through Fall of 2019, during active construction hours <br /> which are expected to be from 5am to 9pm. Durning and after construction, the <br /> site will continue to operate as a bus yard and transit facility,with associated <br /> vehicle and traffic noise. The finished project will not increase the amount of <br /> noise from existing levels. <br /> 3) Proposed measures to reduce or control noise impacts, if any: None. The equipment <br /> being used would fall in similar decibel ranges (80-90 dB) experienced by city <br /> buses which can be 70—90 dB, or more when accelerating. Outdoor MCOB staff <br /> manage these ambient noise impacts under OSHA standards and equipment <br /> used will fall under standard construction tolerances. <br /> 8. Land and Shoreline Use <br /> a. What is the current use of the site and adjacent properties?Will the proposal affect current <br /> land uses on nearby or adjacent properties? If so, describe. Currently a bus operations and <br /> maintenance base for Community Transit and the use will remain the same. <br /> b. Has the project site been used as working farmlands or working forest lands? If so, describe. <br /> How much agricultural or forest land of long-term commercial significance will be converted to <br /> other uses as a result of the proposal, if any? If resource lands have not been designated, <br /> how many acres in farmland or forest land tax status will be converted to nonfarm or <br /> nonforest use? No. Previous use was gravel pit. <br /> 1)Will the proposal affect or be affected by surrounding working farm or forest land normal <br /> business operations, such as oversize equipment access, the application of pesticides, <br /> tilling, and harvesting? If so, how: No. <br /> c. Describe any structures on the site. Maintenance building and operations building, <br /> administration building,fuel shed and vault, storage facilities, bus wash, above <br /> ground fuel storage tanks. <br /> d. Will any structures be demolished? If so, what? No <br /> e. What is the current zoning classification of the site? M2 Heavy Manufacturing <br /> f. What is the current comprehensive plan designation of the site? 5.1 Heavy Industrial <br /> g. If applicable, what is the current shoreline master program designation of the site?
