| In accordance with EPL11457, LAeq (15 minute) is the value of LAeq (15 minute) which shall not be exceeded for more than 10% of the monitoring periods detailed in the noise monitoring program for independent noise investigations and includes the full range of weather conditions occur. | ||||||||||||||
| Day refers to 7am to 6pm, evening 6pm to 10pm and night 10pm to 7am. | ||||||||||||||
| Attended monitoring is undertaken during Day Evening and Night one monitoring event a year, and only conducted at night for the other months. This is because atmospheric conditions enhance noise propagation most during this time period (offsite levels are likely to be highest then) and the same or lower criterion applies as for other times. Consequently, night period monitoring enables measurement of noise during worst case conditions that are most likely to contribute to a regulatory exceedance. | ||||||||||||||
| Real-time noise monitoring (not required under the EPL) is used to manage and assess noise 24 hours per day. | ||||||||||||||
