5.2.1 Range and standard of assessment
In accordance with Specification for Environment Impact Assessment of Highway, range of assessment of road construction’s noise impact refers to the range of 50m on the two sides of proposal items of road construction. Because the Project has been constructed as district, there are many sensitive points of noise environment within the range of 50m on the two sides of the road; therefore, key point of assessment on noise in construction period is the impact of noise in the construction period on noise environment. Its standard of assessment adopts Noise Standard on Construction Site (GB12523—90) , which provides noise limits on construction site in construction period as the following Table 5.2-1.

| 5.2.3 Forecasting result of noise
Noise sources of construction of the Project can be disposed as point noise source appreciatively. According to damping mode of noise from point noise source, noise values within different distance from noise source in construction period can be estimated, as the following forecasting mode:
In the arithmetic formula : -- Forecasting value [dB(A) ] of construction noise within the distance of r m from noise source;
--Reference noise level [dB(A) ]within the distance of m from noise source
According to noise value of various construction machineries, forecasting noise value of different construction machineries within different distances can be calculated. See the following Table 5.2-3.

According to forecasting results in Table 5.2-3, in construction period of the Project, noise exceeds 3~9dB(A) over the standard regulated Noise Standard on Construction Site (GB12523—90) in the daytime; in the nighttime, it also exceeds 1~23dB(A) over the standard. It is obvious that noise produced by construction will bring about impact within the range of 50m around the construction site, especially in nighttime.
5.2.4 Assessment of noise during construction period
According to forecasting result of **, during construction period of the Project, noise exceeds 3~9dB(A) over the standard regulated Noise Standard on Construction Site (GB12523—90) in the daytime; in the nighttime, it also exceeds 1~23dB(A) over the standard. It is obvious that noise produced by construction will impact within the range of 50m around the construction site, especially in nighttime. Therefore, strict measures must be taken to relieve impact caused by noise on surrounding environment in construction of the above-mentioned regions.
