Environmental Impact Reports

Environmental Impact Report (EIR) noise assessments to NEPA and CEQA guidelines

Past Project Examples:

Metal Mine and Processing Plant, Wyoming Our engineers were contracted to produce a full environmental noise study to National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) standards for a proposed mining site in Wyoming. Many noise-producing activities were analyzed, including drilling, grading, transportation and ore processing. The mine is located in a remote area and we were able to show that most activities would not cause noise problems. To ensure the truck traffic complied with noise requirements, we made recommendations for alternative transportation routes and procedures.

Oil Drilling and Production, Whittier, CA We produced a mitigated negative declaration study for an oil production site in Whittier, California. The project required the design of temporary sound walls around the drilling rigs to protect local residents from excessive noise levels. Analysis of oil pipeline construction noise and production facility noise was also performed as part of the study.
