Annexure 3

Noise Measurements

Noise measurements were carried out at the project site using Sound

Level Meter. The 24-hourly sound levels were measured at each location

during 14 and 15 November 2014.

Equivalent Sound Energy Levels or Leq

Leq was computed using following the statistical relationship by the noise

levels recorded during measurements:

Leq = L50 + (L10 - L90)2 /60

Where L90 = the noise levels exceed 90 percent of the time

L50 = the noise levels exceed 50 percent of the time

L10 = the noise levels exceed 10 percent of the time

It may be noted here that L10, L50 and L90 values can be considered as

peak, average and background sound pressure levels at each location,

respectively.

Day and Night Time Leq Values

Day and night time Leq values have been computed from hourly Leq

values and given in Table 3 for November 2014, respectively.

Table 3: Day & Night Time Noise Level Equivalents

Sn. Location Noise Levels in dB (A)

Day-time (Ld) Night-time (Ln)

area are met at all the locations.

Annexure 4

Ambient Air Quality

Ambient air quality was monitored at the site on 14/11/2014 and

15/11/2014.

Instruments Used for Sampling

Fine Particulate Matter Samplers and Respirable dust samplers were

deployed for ambient air quality monitoring (AAQM).

Ambient Air Quality Status

Ambient Air Quality Monitoring results are given in Table 4.
