Abstract
In recent years, there has been a proliferation in the siting of small to moderate sized power‐generating facilities in noise‐sensitive communities. Some of these communities have little or no experience with industrial facilities and some have adverse experience. In many cases, this has led to noise‐control requirements in the form of ordinances or licensing requirements that are overly strict. In addition, many of the personnel involved in the early development of plant budgeting, contracting, and conceptual design have little experience with technology for evaluating or controlling sound. Consequently, this has often led to inadequate attention to noise control requirements in the early stages of plant contracting and design. Several examples of noise‐control problems frequently encountered in the licensing of these power generating facilities are described.
