Rocks To Rec | Focus on Water Safety in Our Community

August Mack Environmental has submitted a memorandum to clarify information in the “Noise and Fugitive Dust Monitoring Report” to respond to citizen comments made during the Noblesville Common Council Meeting.

In conclusion, the noise information provided in the report cannot and does not indicate an exceedance of any ordinance. From a noise perspective, this project is not unique. The equipment and activities that will be utilized on this site are the same that are used in almost all construction projects and the noise levels from this type of equipment is well documented. Based on the data collected and presented in the Report, no violations of the noise ordinance are expected.
