Draft SEIR, pp. 4.J-26 to 4.J-27.) <br />Impact 4.J-7 <br />Development facilitated by the General Plan Amendment and rezonings could <br />potentially be exposed to aircraft noise associated with the closest airport which would exceed <br />the applicable noise exposure criteria. <br />The SEIR evaluates the impact of the proposed project related to the exposure of <br />residents to aircraft noise associated with the Livermore Municipal Airport, which would exceed <br />the applicable noise exposure criteria. <br />Significance Before Mitigation: Significant <br />Significance After Mitigation: Less than Significant <br />Finding: Changes or alterations have been required in or incorporated into the <br />Project that would avoid or substantially lessen the significant environmental <br />effect as identified in the SEIR. Mitigation Measure 4.J-7 which is required in or <br />incorporated into the Project, will reduce the significant environmental impact to a <br />less than significant level. <br />Facts in Support of Finding: The following facts and mitigation measures indicate <br />that the impact will be reduced to less than significant. <br />1.Aircraft/airport noise exposure associated with Livermore <br />Municipal Airport is expected to be well below 60 dB Ldn at the closest potential <br />site for rezoning (Site 14). Additionally, interior aircraft-related noise exposure is <br />not expected to exceed the applicable 45 dB Ldn criterion. However, maximum <br />noise levels from aircraft departures to the west may exceed the applicable 50/55 <br />dB Lmax criteria within habitable rooms. <br />2.Implementation of Mitigation Measure 4.J-7 set forth in <br />Table 6-1 of the Final SEIR and listed in the MMRP will ensure that Impact 4.J-7 <br />would be reduced to a less than significant level and is hereby incorporated by <br />reference and described below. <br />4.J-7: For residential developments at Sites 11 and 14 near the left-hand pattern <br />of Runway 25L, the City shall require a site-specific acoustical assessments to <br />determine noise exposure, impact, and mitigation regarding aircraft single <br />events. The assessments shall include the collection of aircraft single-event <br />noise level data for no less than 48-hours on or in the vicinity of the given <br />housing areas. If needed, aircraft-related single-event noise exposure shall be <br />mitigated to satisfy the applicable City of Pleasanton Code criteria of 50 dB Lmax <br />bedrooms) and 55 dB Lmax (other habitable rooms) using acoustically rated <br />construction materials/systems. <br />Site(s) affected: Sites 11, 14 <br />Draft SEIR, p. 4.J-28.)
