Prior to the start of construction activities, the construction contractor <br />shall: <br />a. Maintain and tune all proposed equipment in accordance with the manufacturer’s <br />recommendations to minimize noise emission. <br />b. Inspect all proposed equipment and fit all equipment with properly operating mufflers, air intake <br />silencers, and engine shrouds that are no less effective than as originally equipped by the <br />manufacturer. <br />c. Post a sign, clearly visible at the site, with a contact name and telephone number of the <br />construction manager. <br />d. Place stationary construction equipment and material delivery in loading and unloading areas as <br />far as practicable from residences. <br />e.

Use low-noise emission equipment. <br />h. Limit use of public address systems. <br />i. Minimize grade surface irregularities on construction sites. <br />33. Dust Control. Construction activity shall not create dust, noise or safety hazards for adjacent <br />businesses and properties. Dirt and mud shall not be tracked onto public streets from the project site <br />during construction. Standard construction dust control procedures, such as wetting, daily road <br />washing and other maintenance functions to control emissions, shall be implemented at all times <br />during outdoor construction. Dust generating activities such as grading, excavating, paving, etc. shall <br />be scheduled during the early morning and other hours when wind speeds are low.
