3/11 The Proponent shall prepare and implement a Construction
Management Plan for all surface construction works (excluding
remediation or rehabilitation works) in the Woronora Special Area to
the satisfaction of the Director-General. This plan must be prepared in
consultation with SCA, include detailed plans of the proposed

SCHEDULE 4 SPECIFIC ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS – GENERAL
Noise Impact Assessment Criteria
4/1 By the end of 2014, the Proponent shall ensure that the noise
generated by the project does not exceed the noise impact
assessment criteria in Table 2 at any residence on privately-owned
land, or on more than 25% of any privately-owned land.
Table 2: Noise Impact Assessment Criteria
Day Evening Night Night
LAeq (15 min)
LA1(I min)
50dB(A) 45dB(A) 45dB(A) 50dB(A)
Notes:
To determine compliance with the LAeq(period) noise limits,
noise from the project is to be measured at the most affected
point within the residential boundary, or at the most affected point
within 30 metres of a dwelling (rural situations) where the dwelling
is more than 30 metres from the boundary. Where it can be
demonstrated that direct measurement of noise from the project
is impractical, alternative means of determining compliance (see
Chapter 11 of the NSW Industrial Noise Policy) may be accepted.
The modification factors in Section 4 of the NSW Industrial Noise
Policy shall be applied to the noise levels where applicable.
To determine compliance with the LA1(1 minute) noise limits,
noise from the project is to be measured at 1 metre from the
dwelling façade. Where it can be demonstrated that direct
