Noise Study

"The un-attenuated daytime sound levels at the residential units along the north• west side of the subdivision will exceed the recommended objective sound level due to the future quarry  operations.  For these  units, outdoor noise control measures are required along with relevant warning clauses."

SS Wilson did the Noise Impact Study Using COMPUTER Modelling Techniques (circa 1998) - excerpts below

“The outdoor sound levels may exceed the outdoor sound level criterion by up to 5 decibels ... the occupants are informed of a potential disturbance due to the excess noise by means of a warning clause or cautionary note to be registered on title and included in all Development Agreement(s) and Offers of Sale and Purchase or Lease”

“Since the proposed development may be subjected to high sound levels due to the future quarry operations in Area "C" (classified as Stationary Sources of Noise as defined by the MOE), the assessment procedures and criteria will have to be based on the MOE criteria”

"Without incorporation of any noise control measures, the noise from the quarry will be the dominant source of noise.  The predicted sound level will exceed the applicable criteria by significant margins"

"... the proposed development may be subjected to high sound levels due to the future quarry operations in Area "C" ..."
