4.181. Noise. At the specified points of measurement,

(a).

(b). In the event of noise complaints arising from residents, commercial, or other Town inhabitants, the sound-pressure level shall be measured with a sound-level meter and an octave band analyzer that conforms to specifications published by the equipment manufacturers, and such standards as published by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), the American Society for Testing and Material, or other contemporary standards-establishing organization accepted in the United States.by the American Standards Association. (American Standard Sound Level Meters for

Measurement of Noise and Other Sounds, Z24.3-1944, American Standards Association, Inc., New York, New York, and American Standard Specification for an Octave-Band Filter Set for the Analysis of Noise and Other Sounds, Z24.10-1953, American Standards Association, Inc., New York, New York, shall be used.)(c). Unless otherwise resolved with the Town, the owner or operator of the location/source of such elevated, complaint-producing noise, shall prepare and provide a Noise Monitoring Plan to the Town within 10-business days of written notice by the Town, and such Plan shall be implemented within 10-business days of Plan approval by the Town (unless extended by the Town, if the Plan requires the ordering, purchase and/or installation of equipment, but such extension should be no longer than the time period to order, purchase and install such noise mitigation equipment), and the written report of such monitoring shall be provided to the Town within 10- business days following completion of noise monitoring. Failure to meet noise compliance will result in cessation of the offending noise source until compliance is met. The Noise Monitoring Plan will employ “A-weighting” unless another weighting scale is more appropriate based on industry standards, and shall address:

 

(i). The number and location of monitoring sites;

(ii). The timing and frequency of surveys;

(iii). Methods and standards to be followed. This will include methods used to identify and remove measurement results for time periods affected by sound associated with any temporary events or activities (such as noise from non-related construction or other activities), and during periods where wind speeds exceed 5 m/s or the rainfall rate exceeds 6 mm/hour; and

(iv). Timeframes for monitoring and reporting to the Town in the event they are otherwise than stated in this Performance Standard.

Sound level meters set to A-weighting minimize low-frequency noise similar to the human ear, Sound intensity is measured in units of decibels, dB.

 

If the noise is not smooth and continuous and is not radiated between the hours of

10:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m., one or more of the corrections in Table II below shall be added to or subtracted from each of the decibel levels given above in Table I.

4.182. Odors. No emission of odorous gases or other odorous matter in such quantities as to be offensive at the specified points of measurement. Any process which may involving the creation or emission of any odors shall be provided with a secondary safeguard system, so that control will be maintained if the primary safeguard system should fail.

 

Proposed Local Law Continued

 

There is hereby established, as a guide in determining such quantities of offensive odors, Table III (Odor Thresholds) in Chapter 5, Air Pollution Abatement Manual, Copyright 1951 by Manufacturing Chemists’ Association, Inc., Washington, D.C.

Odor(s) will be deemed objectionable when documented assessment by the Town, pursuant to the procedures in this section, shows evidence that the odor likely could, or does, cause injury, detriment, nuisance or annoyance to persons or to the public, based on observations of the odor’s nature, intensity, duration, location, and level of complaint.

 

(b). Upon documented assessment by the Town, pursuant to the procedures in this section, of the existence of an objectionable odor, the Town will notify the odor- producing facility and direct that an Odor Management and Control Plan acceptable to the Town be submitted, to the Town, that outlines the operational cause of the violation objectionable odor, and, if available, chemistry of the offending odor(s), and literature evidence of odor thresholds and impacts, methods proposed to mitigate the problem, and the schedule by which the Plan will be implemented and completed. The Town will review the Odor Management and Control Plan, and either approve it, or request supplemental information from the facility to complete any deficiencies or shortcomings.

 

(c). To enforce this Performance Standard, objectionable odors will be considered detected and a violation of this § 4.182 when either:

 

(i). A Town inspector/code enforcement officer detects documents an objectionable odor that, by its nature, intensity, duration, location, and level of complaint, is, at least minimally, a nuisance or annoyance to persons or to the public; or

 

(ii). The Town receives initially five (5) or more complaints from individuals, households or businesses within seven (7) days, or fifteen (15) or more complaints within a 30-day period, and the odor issue is verified by the Town. The Town’s odor complaint records will include:

 

(a) Name, address, email and phone number of complainant.

(b) Time and date of submission of complaint to the Town,call.

(c) Description of nuisance odor.

(d) Estimated location or source of complaint.

(e) If possible, prevailing wind or weather conditions observed, and

(f) If OBZPAE or DEME finds noncompliance per above (first bullet), then there shall be deemed noncompliance; and

 

(iii). One (1) volume of the odorous air has been diluted with up to five (5) volumes of odor-free air and the odor is still perceptible, as measured by the Town through the use of reliable olfactometer field instruments, devices, or methods.; and

 

Section 34: This local law shall become effective immediately upon filing with the New

York State Secretary of State.
