VEGP-OLSER-2 2.7 NOISE 2.7.1 SITE NOISE ENVIRONMENT This section discusses the ambient sound level survey performed prior to commencement of construction activities on the VEGP site. Section 5.6 discusses the expected environmental impacts of noise from station operation.
The VEGP site is located in a remote section of Burke County, Georgia. Because of the rural setting and lack of major artificial noise sources within 5 miles of the plant site, the ambient noise survey was confined to the VEGP site.
An ambient sound level survey was performed on May 14 and 15, 1974, before construction was begun. Ambient sound levels were measured at nine accessible locations along the plant property line and at eight other representative points on the site, as shown in figure 2.7-1. Readings were also taken around the combustion turbines already onsite. Sound levels were measured the evening of May 14 and the morning of May 15. The measurements were believed 1
to well represent sound levels on a typical summer day.( )
2.7.2 RESULTS The sound level measurement locations can be seen in figure 2.7-1. A-weighted sound levels were taken at each location during the survey.
A summary of the A-weighted sound levels can be seen in table 2.7-1. Sound levels (excluding readings taken near the combustion turbines) ranged from 22 to 44 dBa with most readings falling in the 25 to 35 dBa range. Generally, readings taken on the second day of the survey were higher due to wind rustling
- 'leaves in the trees. Bird noise and the noise of passing traffic also caused occasional increases in sound level. The combustion turbines were not operating at the time of the property line sound measurements. With the combustion turbines off, transformer noise was dominant at location F.

VEGP-OLSER-5 5.6 OTHER EFFECTS This section discusses other effects of station operation that have not been covered in other sections of this report or covered in the Construction Permit Stage Environmental Report (CPSER) section 5.4.
5.6.1 NOISE The VEGP will make noise during normal operation. However, community complaints about plant noise are not anticipated because the area is sparsely populated.
5.6.1.1 Predicted Plant Property Line Noise Levels Noise levels were predicted for seven locations along the property line during full plant operating conditions.
Predictions were made using Edison Electric Institute's Electric Power Plant Environmental Noise Guide.`(1) The ksignificant sound-producing plant components were identified,
.and the effects of directional sources, distance, and other
..attenuation factors were considered. The predicted levels for each location are listed in table'5.6-1. Ambient noise levels at the seven locations were measured during a sound level survey prior to plant startup (see section 2.7); these are also included in table 5.6-1.
5.6.1.2 Community Reaction to Plant Noise The noise guide concludes that the most complete procedure available for evaluating the impact of plant noise on surrounding communities is the Modified Composite Noise Rating System (MCNR). Applying this procedure resulted in a "no reaction" prediction for each of the seven locations as shown in table 5.6-1. 12 5.6.2 AUXILIARY BOILER, DIESEL GENERATOR, AND FLUID BED DRY WASTE PROCESSOR EMISSIONS Air emissions resulting from operation of the auxiliary boiler, diesel generator, fluid bed dry waste processor, and conform-ance to applicable air quality regulations are addressed in section 3.7.
