Project Specific Criteria 40 Heggies Pty Ltd Report Number 10-5055-R1 Revision 0 Metropolitan Coal Project Noise Impact Assessment Helensburgh Coal Pty Ltd (10-5055R1) 31 July 2008 Page 36
Existing Metropolitan Colliery Noise During the night-time the existing Metropolitan Colliery noise amenity levels near the Project boundary are up to 13 dBA above the criterion. As discussed in Section 2.4, it is likely that some of these dwellings are within the urban/industrial interface noise amenity zone (where the acceptable criterion is 50 dBA). Predicted Project Noise Following the implementation of Project noise controls (Section 7) the Project Year 3 and 15 noise emissions are predicted to reduce at all assessed receivers except those near the Project boundary to the north where train loading noise continues to dominate. 10 BLAST EMISSIONS IMPACT ASSESSMENT 10.1 Human Comfort and Damage Criteria Appendix J of AS 2187: Part 2-2006 “Explosives - Storage and Use - Part 2: Use of Explosives” provides detailed guidance in assessing blast induced ground (and structural) vibration and airblast effects on buildings and their occupants. Recommended vibration limits are generally based on international standards (or studies) as presented in Appendix J Tables J4.5(A) and J4.5(B), for human comfort and structural damage respectively. Similarly, recommended human comfort and structural damage airblast limits are presented in Appendix J Tables J5.4(A) and J5.4(B) respectively. However, ground vibration and airblast levels which cause human discomfort are generally lower than the recommended structural damage limits. Therefore compliance with the lowest applicable human comfort criteria ensures that the potential to cause structural damage is minimal. Hence, the DECC continues to adopt the ANZECC “Technical Basis for Guidelines to Minimise Annoyance due to Blasting Overpressure and Ground Vibration” dated September 1990 for assessing potential annoyance from blast emissions during daytime hours, as follows: • The recommended maximum level for airblast is 115 dB Linear. • The level of 115 dB Linear may be exceeded on up to 5% of the total number of blasts over a period of 12 months. The level should not exceed 120 dB Linear at any time. • The recommended maximum for ground vibration is 5 millimetres per second (mm/s), Peak Vector Sum vibration velocity (PVS). It is recommended however, that 2 mm/s (PVS) be considered as the long-term regulatory goal for the control of ground vibration. • The PVS level of 5 mm/s may be exceeded on up to 5% of the total number of blasts over a period of 12 months. The level should not exceed 10 mm/s at any time. • Blasting should generally only be permitted during the hours of 0900 hours to 1700 hours Monday to Saturday. Blasting should not take place on Sundays and public holidays. • Blasting should generally take place no more than once per day. The assessment of blast emission impacts outside the hours advocated by the ANZECC remains according to the ENCM Chapter 154 Noise Control Guidelines - Blasting presented in Table 25. Note, the suggested time of blasting in Table 25 has been modified to be consistent with the ANZECC guidelines.
