NOISE <br /> <br />Short term construction related noise associated with the project could reach 91 dBA for <br />short periods, depending on the types of construction equipment in use. <br /> <br />Findin,q <br /> <br />Finding h <br /> <br />Changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into, the <br />project which avoid or substantially lessen the significant environmental <br />effect identified in the Final EIR. <br /> <br />Facts in Support of the Finding <br /> <br />The [ollowing rnitigation measures have been incorporated in the proposed project to <br />reduce the short term noise impacts generated by construction activities and equipment <br />associated with the project: <br /> <br />All construction and apartment demolition activities shall be limited to the hours of <br />7:00 AM to 8:00 PM Monday through Saturday. No construction or demolition <br />activities shall be permitted on Sundays or Federal holidays. <br /> <br />All construction equipment, fixed or mobile, shall be equipped with properly <br />operating and maintained mufflers. <br /> <br />Stationary construction equipment shall be placed such that emitted noise is <br />directed away from residential land uses. <br /> <br />Where feasible, drilled rather than driven piles shall be used as infrastructure <br />support to minimize the extent of construction related noise impacts. <br /> <br />Even with these mitigation measures, the short term high levels of noise generated <br />during construction cannot be mitigated to a level of insignificance. <br /> <br />VII. <br /> <br />MITIGATION MEASURES FOR IMPACTS CONSIDERED TO BE LESS THAN <br />SIGNIFICANT <br /> <br />This section describes mitigation measures for those effects of the proposed project <br />which are considered to be less than significant and that, therefore, are not required <br />under CEQA. However, these measures improve the project and are acceptable under <br />CEQA. Findings are not required for effects determined to be less than significant. <br /> <br />The impact categories determined to be less than significant and the mitigation measures <br />incorporated in the project are described below. <br /> <br />GEOLOGY AND SOILS <br /> <br />Effect <br /> <br />The project is located in seismically active southern California and will not be subject to <br />any geologic hazards or site conditions that would preclude the development of the <br />proposed project. The following mitigation measures will improve the design of the <br />project to maximize the engineering safety and soundness of the project buildings. <br /> <br />19 <br /> <br /> <br />
