23 Appendix A7 Noise Assessment Screening Worksheet

24 PORT METRO VANCOUVER PER Guidelines Environmental Noise Assessment APPENDIX I NOISE ASSESSMENT SCREENING WORKSHEET This worksheet should be employed by one or more informed individuals representing the applicant in order to establish the potential to create noise impacts within surrounding areas. This screening procedure is opinion-based and largely qualitative in nature and involves completing a series of questions. 1. Complete this worksheet scoring each of the ten items. 2. Transfer the ten questionnaire scores into the Weighted Project Screening Scorecard provided as Appendix II Noise Assessment Project Score. 3. Follow procedure in Appendix II Question 1 New Activity, Replacement or Expansion Will the project involve only the replacement of existing equipment or activities or the expansion of a pre-existing facility or activity, or will it involve significant new noise sources or activities? Replacement of Existing Equipment or Activities Score 1 point Expansion of Existing Equipment or Activities Score 3 points New Equipment or Activities Score 5 points Question 2 Noise Levels Expected on Project Site Based on experience with similar operations at the current location or elsewhere, or on your best judgment, do you expect that noise levels within the project site will be: Very Low Score 1 point Low Score 2 points Moderate Score 3 points High Score 4 points Very High Score 5 points Question 3 - Presence of Undesirable Characteristics Will any of the key activities/sources create ongoing noise which: (1). is clearly tonal (hums, whirs, whines), (2). is impulsive or has very rapid onset (bumps, bangs, material handling impacts, rail car shunting, compressed air release etc.), or (3). contains strong low-frequency content (e.g. large diesel engines, large fans or air compressors). No Score 0 points Yes, noise will contain one such characteristic Score 3 points Yes, noise will contain two or three such characteristics Score 5 points Question 4 Presence of High-Energy Impulsive Noise Will any activities create ongoing noise which could be classified as High-energy Impulsive? Examples of such sources are limited in the port context but could include the industrial use of explosives or explosive circuit breakers. No Score 0 points Yes Score 5 points 2015 July 09 Appendix I - Screening Worksheet Page 19 of 22

25 PORT METRO VANCOUVER PER Guidelines Environmental Noise Assessment Question 5 Hours/Days of Operation Will the normal operating schedule be: Day Shift only (5 days/week) Score 1 point Day Shift only (7 days per week) Score 2 points Day & Evening Shifts (5 days/week) Score 2 points Day & Evening Shifts (7 days/week) Score 3 points 24-hours per day (5 days /week) Score 4 points 24-hours per day (7 days per week) Score 5 points Question 6 Proximity to Noise-Sensitive Areas How far is the nearest noise-sensitive land use (residences, schools, hospitals, passive parks etc.) from the property line of the project site? More than 1,000 m Score 0 points 500 to 1,000 m Score 1 point 250 to 500 m Score 2 points 125 to 250 m Score 3 points 60 to 125 m Score 4 points less than 60 m Score 5 points Question 7 Presence of Noise Shielding or Reflection Will buildings, structures and/or landforms partially or totally screen (that is, interrupt the line of sight and direct hearing) project noise sources from nearby noise receptors? Here consideration should be given to the relative elevations of the noise sources, the noise receivers (ground and upper floors) and the intervening buildings and/or landforms. Noise shielding effects are maximized when intervening buildings and/or landforms are higher and wider than both the noise source area and the noise receiver area. Alternatively, the project may involve construction of a building or other structure that, while not necessarily a significant source of noise itself, reflects noise from other sources towards adjacent noise-sensitive areas. This other noise may originate from project operations or from sources not related to the project, such as other port operations or transportation facilities related sources. Substantial, continuous noise shielding Score 0 points Substantial, but not total, screening Score 1 point Intermittent shielding, e.g., row of smaller, non-adjoining buildings Score 2 points Scattered shielding by objects, machinery, stockpiles Score 3 points No shielding potential Score 4 points No noise shielding and will reflect noise towards sensitive areas Score 5 points 2015 July 09 Appendix I - Screening Worksheet Page 20 of 22

26 PORT METRO VANCOUVER PER Guidelines Environmental Noise Assessment Question 8 Baseline Noise Environment How would you rate the baseline (pre-project) noise environment within the noise sensitive area nearest the project site? Very noisy (near busy highway, busy port, airport, heavy industry) Score 1 point Noisy (near busy arterial road, light industrial area, urban core) Score 2 points Moderately noise (near collector road, suburban residential) Score 3 points Quiet (suburban residential away from collector roads) Score 4 points Very Quiet (rural residential, well away from industry or main roads) Score 5 points Question 9 Population Potentially Exposed to Project Noise Approximately how many residences or other noise sensitive land uses are located within 500 m of the project site s property line? 5 or less Score 1 point 5 to 15 Score 2 points 16 to 40 Score 3 points 41 to 100 Score 4 points more than 100 Score 5 points Question 10 Level of Community Concern about Noise What level of concern (e.g., complaint history) currently exists among residents/users of adjacent noise sensitive lands regarding noise emissions from PMV lands in general and your project site in particular? No history of concern or complaints Score 1 point Minor concerns have been expressed Score 2 points Unknown Score 3 points Moderate level of concern, some complaints Score 4 points High level of concern/organized complaints Score 5 points 2015 July 09 Appendix I - Screening Worksheet Page 21 of 22

27 PORT METRO VANCOUVER PER Guidelines Environmental Noise Assessment APPENDIX II NOISE ASSESSMENT PROJECT SCORE This worksheet should be used together with the questionnaire in Appendix I Noise Assessment Screening Worksheet. For each of the ten questions, this worksheet applies a weighting factor that is reflective of the relative importance of that attribute in forecasting noise impact potential. The overall noise impact potential of the project is determined by tallying the weighted values of all response scores to obtain a Total Weighted Project Score as follows: 1. Complete the questionnaire as provided in Appendix I Noise Assessment Screening Worksheet, scoring each of the ten items. 2. Transfer the ten questionnaire scores into the Weighted Project Screening Scorecard provided below. 3. Apply the Importance Weighting factor (multiplying the weighting factor by the questionnaire score) and determine a Weighted Score for each item. 4. Tally the Weighted Scores and determine the Total Weighted Project Score 5. Submit a completed project score worksheet as part of the PER project permit application No. Attribute of Project or Project Setting Questionnaire Score (Appendix I) Importance Weighting Weighted Score 1 New Activity, Replacement or Expansion Noise Levels Expected on Project Site Presence of Undesirable Characteristics Presence of High Energy Impulsiveness Noise Hours/Days of Operation Proximity to Noise Sensitive Areas Presence of Noise Shielding or Reflection Baseline Noise Environment Population Potentially Exposed to Project Noise Level of Community Concern About Noise Total Weighted Project Score : July 09 Appendix II - Project Score Page 22 of 22
