What is being done to limit noise and light levels from the Deltaport Third Berth Project?
Noise impacts related to DP3 constructions are expected to be minimal. There have been some concerns regarding dredging noise and the construction contractor has retrofitted the dredge equipment with noise silencers. A Noise Management Plan has been implemented to monitor and reduce noise levels during construction and operations where possible. PMV is working with the construction contractor, the terminal operator and residents to measure and resolve noise issues resulting from project construction activities. Rail noise is expected to increase during operations by between 1dBA and 2 dBA. Although increases of this level are not normally perceptible to the human ear, they would marginally increase existing levels. PMV recognizes the importance of minimizing noise impacts on residential areas and will continue to work with local residents to address noise associated with rail and terminal activities. Construction, dredging and terminal construction activities will require lighting and
