What is a construction noise mitigation plan?

A construction noise mitigation plan is a detailed document that outlines the measures to minimize the negative impact of construction noise on the surrounding environment and community. The plan typically includes a description of the sources of noise, the expected level of noise, and a list of actions to reduce the noise level. These actions may include choosing quieter construction equipment, scheduling noisy activities during non-peak hours, using noise barriers or mufflers, and providing advance notice to nearby residents. The plan may also include a monitoring and reporting strategy to ensure that the noise reduction measures are effective and compliant with local regulations.
