�'4'i::rqi �_.'If1�16�F <br />��ii: �'.�'L.i'1[�,�_. <br />property lies within a District I of the city. As the support cabinets are expected to operate 24 <br />hours a day, they must meet the 45 dF3A nighttime limit. <br />Additionally, Everett Municipal Code 20.08.050 allows that during any one-hou, period, the <br />maximum permissible noise level may be exceeded by 5 dBA for a 15 minute period. <br />Therefore, the generator must not exceed 60 dBA wtien running during daytime hours for <br />maintenance testing. 1 he generator is exempt during emergency operation. <br />Predicted Sound Levels (24-Hour Operation Equipment) <br />The proposed 24-hour operation equipment ?ncludes four Lucent Modcell 4.OB cabinets (two <br />primary and two future growth) and two Emerson EBRE Bariery Cabinets. According to <br />manufacturer data, the Lucent Modcell 4.0B has a sound power level of 65 dBA at 25°C. <br />The manufacturer specifies the noise level for the Emerson EBRE Battery Cabinet is a <br />maximum of 71 dBA at 3 feet with air conditioning unit and alarm installed'. The combined <br />sound pressure level from all six cabinets is 74 dBA at 3 feet. <br />To predict equipment noise levels at the receiving properties, this survey used the methods <br />established by ARI Standard 275-97. Application factors such as location, height, and <br />refiective surfaces are accounted for in predicting the sound level at the nearest receivers. <br />The proposed equipment is to be located on a concrete equipment pad. The nearest <br />receiving property is approximately 85 feet west of the equipment loca!ion. The predicted <br />sound level at the nearest receiving property is shown in Table 1. <br />TablP 1 <br />Application Factors and Predicted Noise Levels for Proposed <br />F_4uiament Cabinets at the Nearest Receivinv Propertv <br />DF = <br />New Equipment Sound Pressure Level at Receiver, Lpr I 45 <br />(Add lines 1 and 2) <br />As shown in Table 1, the combined sound pressure level from the proposed equipment <br />cabinets at the nearest receiving property is 45 dBA, which meeis the 45 dBA nighttiine code <br />limit for equipment run 24 hours a day. No further mitigation is required to meet code. <br />Predicted Equipment Noise Levels (Emergency Generator) <br />The aroposed equipment includes one Generac 60 kW Diesel Generator with a Level 2A <br />So�+nd Enclosure. According to data obtained from the manufacturer, the generator with a <br />Level 2A Sound Enclo�ure will produce a sound Ievei of 65 dBA at 23 feet. The combined <br />sound pressure level from ail the equipment during the maintenance testing is 65 dBA at 23 <br />feet. <br />' Noise data obtained Irom Emerson for 8,000 BTU McLean Hir Ccnditioning unit inslalled on cabinel. <br />I' : c e ?. <br />
