Azura-Edo Independent Power Plant Environmental Impact ... - IFC

construction activities, and as such, similar impacts are expected. Noise from
decommissioning activities is likely to be perceptible at the closest noise
sensitive properties during the key phases of the work.
Impact Significance
Noise levels for decommissioning may be similar to that for construction, but
of lesser intensity. Noise levels are unlikely to exceed 70 dB LAeq, 1hr which is a
broadly acceptable criteria for decommissioning noise impacts given the type
of activity and distance between the main work sites and nearest sensitive
receptors. Noise impacts during decommissioning are therefore considered
to be insignificant prior to mitigation.
