Noise Analysis. The proposed project is not expected to cause a change in existing and projected traffic volumes and vehicle mix but may move the noise source nearer or further away from receptors in the areas of the proposed improvements. Therefore, the Consultant will conduct qualitative noise analysis at sensitive noise receptor locations relative to proposed geometric changes and alignment. Additionally, the Consultant will conduct a qualitative analysis of noise impacts on alternative detour routes and impacts resulting from construction activities. If, based on proposed project alternative designs and right of way needs, noise modeling is warranted, such modeling will be performed for specific areas of concern using Traffic Noise Model Version 2.5. Noise barrier analysis is not included with this scope of service and will be considered “Extra Work”.

Noise Analysis. In order to minimize redundant information within the Initial Study and EIR, this section provides an analysis methodology where the air quality, GHG emissions, and noise calculation methodologies and results are incorporated into the EIR, instead of in separate technical studies. However, an Air Quality and GHG Emissions Technical Memo and a Noise Technical Memo that details the calculation methodologies and results can be provided as part of this scope and at no extra cost, if requested. Vista Environmental will provide the following Noise Initial Study Checklist and Discussion services: • Complete the Noise Checklist that details the following checklist questions as potentially significant: o Exposure of persons to or generation of noise levels in excess of standards; and o A substantial temporary or periodic increase in ambient noise levels in the project vicinity. • For the Checklist question of: Exposure of persons to or generation of excessive groundborne vibration or groundborne noise levels, a discussion will be provided that details typical vibration levels created by demolition and construction activities and how these would be below the threshold of perception at the nearest sensitive receptors. The discussion will also detail how residential condominiums are not a known source of vibration and as such would result in a less than significant impact. • For the Checklist question of: A substantial permanent increase in ambient noise levels in the project vicinity, a discussion will be provided that details how the primary source of noise from a residential development is from project generated vehicle traffic on the nearby roadways and how the proposed residential project would generate less traffic than the current commercial designation for the project site and would result in a less than significant impact. • For the Checklist questions of: For a project located within an airport land use plan; and For a project located within the vicinity of a private airstrip, a discussion will be provided that details the distances to the nearest public and private airports and due to these distances impacts will be less than significant. The following Noise EIR Section and Associated Technical Appendix will be provided: • Detail fundamentals of noise that include noise source characteristics, noise propagation, and definition of decibels and other noise descriptors. • Identify applicable noise and vibration regulations and thresholds of significance. • Uti...

Noise Analysis. The noise analysis will be prepared in accordance with Caltrans SER Volume 1 Chapter 12 and CEQA guidelines as well as the Caltrans’ Traffic Noise Analysis Protocol and Technical Noise Supplement. Prior to initiating the Noise Study Report (NSR), ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ will initiate a teleconference call with Caltrans to review and confirm the proposed measurement locations. The NSR will be prepared consistent with the Caltrans Noise Analysis Protocol to address traffic noise impacts on noise-sensitive land uses located within the study area. Short-term (15-minute) noise measurements will be taken at up to two (2) locations to document the existing noise environment, as well as to calibrate the traffic noise model. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ will obtain City approval of the locations of these noise measurements prior to seeking Caltrans approval of the locations. The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Traffic Noise Model (TNM) version 2.5 will be used to evaluate traffic noise levels associated with the Existing, Future No Build, and Future Build conditions. The Traffic Noise Study Report shall take into consideration impacts to frequent outdoor uses, as defined by FHWA, and recommend mitigation as appropriate. Recommendations will be made for any required noise abatement measures, including sound walls. As the proposed project would generate construction noise resulting in temporary or periodic increases in ambient noise levels, the Noise Study Report will also address the full range of construction noise potential. This scope excludes the preparation of a Noise Abatement Decision Report (NADR). • Draft/Final Noise Analysis

Noise Analysis. Even though the atomic lattice of the HOPG can be recognized in the force map, Figure 2.4 looks convoluted with a high level of intrinsic noise, which makes it difficult to see the individual atoms in the lateral force image. This noise is also clearly present in the individual friction loop in Fig.

Noise Analysis. Consultant shall direct, oversee and assure that LSA shall prepare a technical noise memorandum consistent with the Caltrans Noise Analysis Protocol (August 2006) and the Technical Noise Supplement (November 2009) to address traffic noise impacts on noise-sensitive land uses, if any, located adjacent to the proposed project. In addition, the Noise Analysis Screening Procedure Checklist outlined in Section 4.5 of the Caltrans Technical Noise Supplement (TeNS) shall be completed. The City of Goleta Noise Ordinance shall be discussed for land uses located adjacent to the project. Land uses within the project area shall be identified using land use information, aerial photographs, and field reconnaissance. Consultant shall direct, oversee and assure that LSA shall analyze short-term noise impacts from construction sources based on the equipment expected to be used, length of a specific construction task, equipment power type (gasoline or diesel engine), horsepower, load factor, and percentage of time in use. The construction noise impact shall be evaluated in terms of maximum levels (Lmax) and the frequency of occurrence at adjacent noise-sensitive locations. Analysis requirements shall be based on the sensitivity of the area and the City of Goleta Noise Ordinance specifications. Consultant shall direct, oversee and assure that ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall generate requisite roadway segment ADT needed for the baseline and future year alternatives noise analyses as part of Tasks 1.2 and 2.1 respectively.

To the extent that such services are to be provided with respect to any Account which is a registered investment company, Categories 3, 4 and 5 above shall be treated as “investment advisory services” for purposes of Section 5(b) of the Agreement.”

  • Escrow Analysis If applicable, with respect to each Mortgage Loan, the Seller has within the last twelve months (unless such Mortgage was originated within such twelve month period) analyzed the required Escrow Payments for each Mortgage and adjusted the amount of such payments so that, assuming all required payments are timely made, any deficiency will be eliminated on or before the first anniversary of such analysis, or any overage will be refunded to the Mortgagor, in accordance with RESPA and any other applicable law;

  • Sampling and Analysis The sampling and analysis of the coal delivered hereunder shall be performed by Buyer upon delivery of the coal to Buyer’s facility, and the results thereof shall be accepted and used as defining the quality and characteristics of the coal delivered under this Agreement and as the Payment Analysis. All analyses shall be made in Buyer’s laboratory at Buyer’s expense in accordance with ASTM standards where applicable, or industry-accepted standards in other cases. Samples for analyses shall be taken in accordance with ASTM standards or other methods mutually acceptable to both parties. Seller shall transmit its “as loaded” quality analysis to Buyer as soon as possible. Seller’s “as-loaded” quality shall be the Payment Analysis only when Buyer’s sampler and/or scales are inoperable, or if Buyer fails to obtain a sample upon unloading. Seller represents that it is familiar with Buyer’s sampling and analysis practices, and that it finds them to be acceptable. Buyer shall notify Seller in writing of any significant changes in Buyer’s sampling and analysis practices. Any such changes in Buyer’s sampling and analysis practices shall, except for ASTM or industry-accepted changes in practices, provide for no less accuracy than the sampling and analysis practices existing at the tune of the execution of this Agreement, unless the Parties otherwise mutually agree. Each sample taken by Buyer shall be divided into four (4) parts and put into airtight containers, properly labeled and sealed. One (1) part shall be used for analysis by Buyer. One (1) part shall be used by Buyer as a check sample, if Buyer in its sole judgment determines it is necessary. One (1) part shall be retained by Buyer until thirty (30) days after the sample is taken (“Disposal Date”), and shall be delivered to Seller for analysis if Seller so requests before the Disposal Date. One (1) part (the “Referee Sample”) shall be retained by Buyer until the Disposal Date. Seller shall be given copies of all analyses made by Buyer by the fifth (5th) business day of the month following the month of unloading. In addition, Buyer shall send Seller weekly analyses of coal unloaded at Buyer’s facilities. Seller, on reasonable notice to Buyer, shall have the right to have a representative present to observe the sampling and analyses performed by Buyer. Unless Seller requests an analysis of the Referee Sample before the Disposal Date, Buyer’s analysis shall be used to determine the quality of the coal delivered hereunder and shall be the Payment Analysis. The Monthly Weighted Averages of specifications referenced in §6.1 shall be based on the individual Shipment analyses. If any dispute arises with regard to the analysis of any sample before the Disposal Date for such sample, the Referee Sample retained by Buyer shall be submitted for analysis to an independent commercial testing laboratory (“Independent Lab”) mutually chosen by Buyer and Seller. For each coal quality specification in question, if the analysis of the Independent Lab differs by more than the applicable ASTM reproducibility standards, the Independent Lab results will govern, and the prior analysis shall be disregarded. All testing of the Referee Sample by the Independent Lab shall be at requestor’s expense unless the Independent Lab results differ from the original Payment Analysis for any specification by more than the applicable ASTM reproducibility standards as to that specification. In such case, the cost of the analysis made by the Independent Lab shall be borne by the party who provided the original Payment Analysis.
