Method and assessment criteria The noise and vibration assessment was undertaken in accordance with: British Standard BS 7385-2:1993 Evaluation and measurement for vibration in buildings. Guide to damage levels from groundborne vibration (British Standards Institution, 1993) Industrial Noise Policy (INP) (EPA, 2000) Environmental Noise Management Manual (Roads and Maritime, 2001) Interim Construction Noise Guidelines (ICNG) (DECC, 2009) Australian Standard AS 2187.2-2006 Explosives – Storage and Use – Part 2: Use of Explosives (Standards Australia, 2006) Accessing Vibration: A Technical Guideline (Department of Environmental and Conservation, 2006) Environmental Noise Management, Assessing Vibration: A Technical Guideline (DECC, 2006) Road Noise Policy (RNP) (Roads and Maritime, 2011). The assessment: Identified noise and vibration sensitive receivers within the study area Determined the background noise levels within the study area Predicted how construction work and traffic would impact on noise and vibration-sensitive receivers compared to the existing conditions Predicted how operational traffic noise would impact on noise sensitive receivers compared to the existing conditions Identified those adverse impacts that would need safeguarding or managing under the proposal. Noise monitoring Noise monitoring data were used to characterise the study area’s existing ambient noise environment (refer to section 6.2.3) and to establish NMLs and goals. Short-term attended noise measurements Short-term attended noise monitoring data were collected to describe the likely average maximum noise levels within the study area. Data were collected over a 15-minute period at 19 receiver-locations across the city centre in September 2014; supplementing data previously collected at three monitoring locations (refer to Appendix D for further details). The monitoring locations were considered representative of ambient conditions in a given location in the study area. The data were collected both during the day and at night. Table 3 in Appendix D provides a full list of the monitoring locations and their distance to the nearest adjacent receiver. Long-term unattended noise measurements The above short-term data were supplemented by long-term unattended noise monitoring data used to describe the average and maximum noise levels over a 24-hour period. Figure 6-1 shows the attended and unattended monitoring locations referred to in this section and Appendix D. Sydney City Centre Capacity Improvement 209 Review of Environmental Factors
