Table 4.4 compares measured levels with impact assessment criteria.<br />
Criteria are then<br />
applied if weather conditions are in accordance with the project approval. Discussion as to<br />
the noise sources responsible for these measured levels is provided in Section 5 of this report.<br />

Notes: 1. Wind speed and sigma theta data sourced from <strong>Mangoola</strong> <strong>Coal</strong> meteorological stations. <strong>Data</strong> from the nearest<br />
met station to the monitoring location was used. Sigma theta data used to calculate Vertical Temperature<br />
Gradient (VTG) in accordance with procedures detailed in the INP;<br />
2. <strong>Noise</strong> emission limits apply for the following meteorological conditions:<br />
• wind speeds of up to 3 m/s at 10 metres above ground level; or<br />
• temperature inversion conditions of up to 3ºC/100m, and wind speeds of up to 2m/s at 10 metres above<br />
ground level;<br />
3. Y denotes Yes, N denotes No;<br />
4. These are results for <strong>Mangoola</strong> <strong>Coal</strong> in the absence of all other noise sources;<br />
5. NM denotes audible but not measurable, IA denotes inaudible;<br />
6. Bolded results in red are those greater than the relevant criterion (if applicable); and<br />
7. NA in exceedance column means atmospheric conditions outside conditions specified in project approval and so<br />
criterion is not applicable.<br />
