Noise pollution
|
Noise levels of excavation and working machines operation at construction cannot exceed the level stated in the "Regulation for Assessment and Management of Environmental Noise". (Impact noise Lcmax cannot exceed 100 dBC.) Construction activities will be performed between 07.00-19.00 hours. Since the construction will be executed in three separate stages, generation of collective noise will be relatively avoided. In case when the construction activities must continue at night, local population that will be affected will be informed at least one week before the activity date.
