Noise Feasibility Study - Block 16 – Pier 8, Hamilton, Ontario

3.1.1 Classification of Industries Golder Associates Limited (Golder) evaluated the size and operations of the commercial/industrial facilities in the general vicinity of the Pier 8 lands to determine the appropriate classification per Guideline D-6, as summarized in Golder’s Draft Noise and Vibration Feasibility Study (Golder’s Study) prepared for the City for the Pier 8 Development (Golder, Augu. [...] Predicted sound levels from individual industries are lower, which further supports the conclusion that the Development would not impact the ability of the existing industries to comply with the stationary sound level limits of NPC-300. [...] Based on the model predictions, a solid parapet with a height of 1.1 metres above the finished roof level of the OLA would be sufficient to achieve sound levels of 55 dBA or lower throughout the Outdoor Amenity Space on the 31st floor. [...] Conclusions The key findings of this Study are summarized as follows: – The Development is not expected to limit the ability of existing industries to continue to operate within the stationary noise requirements of NPC-300. [...] Do all of the activities to be registered occur exclusively at the site? Yes No Please Note: Discrete activities that involve the use of equipment that is intended to be moved from one site to another to perform the same function (such as the use of mobile rock crushing equipment or mobile PCB destruction equipment) are not prescribed for the purpose of the Environmental Activity and Sector Regist.
