R5 – Closest Residence to West

At the closest residence to the west on the northern side of Kabi Road the above noise sources will
be:

    •    vehicles (10 to 15 kph speed):
             o passenger:
                     ▪ driving:               40 – 33 (350m distance) – 7 (ground) = 0 dB(A) LAeq,adj,T;
                     ▪ door close:            50 – 36 (500m distance) – 8 (ground) = 6 dB(A) LAeq,adj,T;
                     ▪ engine start:          50 – 36 – 8 = 6 dB(A) LAeq,adj,T;
              o   bus idling, driving off and arriving at parking bay, including air brakes:
                                             65 – 36 (530m distance) – 8 (ground) = 21 dB(A) LAeq,adj,T;
              o MRV truck driving and unloading, including air brakes:
                                             67 – 36 (530m distance) – 8 (ground) = 23 dB(A) LAeq,adj,T;
              o waste collection vehicle driving, emptying waste receptacles and departing:
                                             68 – 36 (530m distance) – 8 (ground) = 24 dB(A) LAeq,adj,T;
    •    children/youth playing:
              o 10 children/youth:           61 – 37 (570m distance) – 8 (ground) = 16 dB(A) LAeq,adj,T;
              o 50 children/youth:           68 – 37 – 8 = 23 dB(A) LAeq,adj,T;
              o 100 children/youth:          71 – 37 – 8 = 26 dB(A) LAeq,adj,T;
    •    basketball match, including umpires whistle and yelling and screaming and cheering:
                                             65 – 37 (570m distance) – 8 (ground) = 20 dB(A) LAeq,adj,T;
    •    large air-conditioning unit:        54 + 5 (3 units for office and dining) – 37 (550m distance) – 8
                                             (ground) = 14 dB(A) LAeq,adj,T;
    •    kitchen exhaust fan:                50 – 37 (550m distance) – 8 (ground) = 5 dB(A) LAeq,adj,T;
    •    Village 1 air-conditioning:         54 + 7 (5 units, one per dormitory) – 39 (700m distance) – 9
                                             (ground) = 13 dB(A) LAeq,adj,T.

All of the above source noise levels, calculated to the closest residence to the north-west, individually
comply with the daytime, evening and night-time noise limits, with no additional noise control
measures in place.

For the daytime the relevant combined source noise levels would be 0 + 6 + 6 + 21 + 24 + 26 + 20 +
14 + 5 + 13 = 30 dB(A) LAeq,adj,T, which is worst case and complies with the daytime noise limit.

For the evening the relevant combined source noise levels would be 0 + 6 + 6 + 21 + 20 + 14 + 5 + 13
= 25 dB(A) LAeq,adj,T, which is worst case and complies with the evening noise limit.

It is not anticipated that there would be any night-time noise sources other than air-conditioning, which
the combined effect of Village 1 complies with the night-time steady state noise limit of 23 dB(A) LA90,T.


NOISE CONTROL

To ensure compliance with the noise limits for the complete 24-hour day at all of the closest
residences to following restrictions need to be implemented:

    1. bus access to the site to be limited to daytime and evening only – 0700 to 2200 hours;
    2. delivery vehicles must only access the site during the daytime – 0700 to 1800 hours;
    3. waste collection vehicles must only access the site during the daytime – 0700 to 1800 hours.

Compliance with the above will result in compliance with the noise limits for the complete 24-hour day.
