excess of federal and State standards for numerous sensitive receptors, <br />along the corridor, if adequate sound barriers cannot feasibly be <br />provided because of access and sight distance requirements. <br /> <br />Findings <br /> <br />The following measures have been incorporated into the project, <br />which, if properly implemented, will avoid or substantially lessen the <br />noise effects, to'a level of insignificance. <br /> <br />Replacement of existing barriers that are removed to widen the <br />street by barriers at least six feet high. <br /> <br />Construction of six-foot block walls on corner lots with access <br />to cross streets, where adequate vehicular sight distances can be <br />maintained. <br /> <br />Construction of solid sound barriers adjacent to school <br />playgrounds and athletic fields, where determined feasible in <br />consultation with school district officials, to meet federal <br />exterior noise criteria. <br /> <br />Construction of six-foot walls to shield residential rear yards, <br />where such rear yards face Bristol Street. <br /> <br />Construction of six-foot walls at second-line receptor property <br />lines, to meet the 67 Leq federal criteria. <br /> <br />Construction activities will take place only during the hours <br />specified in the City of Santa Ana Noise Control Ordinance to <br />reduce noise impacts during more sensitive time periods. <br /> <br />All construction equipment, fixed or mobile, shall be equipped <br />with properly operating and maintained muffler exhaust <br />systems. <br /> <br />Stationary equipment shall be placed such that emitted noise is <br />directed away from sensitive noise receivers such as residential <br />areas. <br /> <br />Stockpiling and vehicle staging areas shall be located as far as <br />practical from occupied dwellings. <br /> <br />10. <br /> <br />Every effort will be made to create the greatest distance <br />between nois :ources and receptors during construction. <br /> <br /> <br />
