Proposed Rule. Second First Notice.

 

OPINION AND ORDER OF THE BOARD (by G.T. Girard):

 

Pursuant to Sections 27 and 28 of the Illinois Environmental Protection Act (Act), (415

ILCS 5/27-5/28 (2002)) and 35 Ill. Adm. Code 102.Subpart B, on February 20, 2003, the Board

opened this rulemaking to propose updated regulations governing noise found in 35 Ill. Adm.

Code Subtitle H. Many of the sound measurement definitions and techniques in the Board’s

current rules do not reflect present scientific standards. The instant proposal revises outdated

numerical sound emission standards for property line noise sources found at 35 Ill. Adm. Code

901. In addition, the proposal adds Part 910 to the Board’s rules that incorporates noise

measurement techniques currently contained only in Illinois Environmental Protection Agency

(Agency) rules at 35 Ill. Adm. Code 951.

 

BACKGROUND

 

The Board’s noise rules were updated in 1983 and again in 1987. In 1990, the

Department of Energy and Natural Resource

1

(DENR) contracted Dr. Paul Schomer of the

University of Illinois to examine the adequacy of Illinois noise regulations, and, particularly

whether the existing rules were adequate to regulate discontinuous noise. Dr. Schomer’s report,

“Impulse Noise Study,” (ILENR/RE-EA-90-16, printed November 1990, Springfield, IL)

suggested some adjustments in the Board’s noise regulations. In 1991, DENR contracted for an

additional report by Dr. Schomer, entitled, “Proposed Revisions to Property Line Noise Source:

Measurement Procedures”, (ILENR/RE-EA-91/10, printed June 1991, Springfield, IL),

describing and developing a systematic set of procedures for noise measurements.

 

During the summer of 1991, the Board prepared a proposal that attempted to translate the

Schomer reports into regulatory language (Amendments to 35 Ill. Adm. Code Subtitle H Noise-

Pertaining to Definitions, Measurement Procedures, and Sound Emission Standards Relating to

Certain Noise Sources, R91-25 (Oct. 24, 1991)). An inquiry hearing based on the document was

held on November 25, 1991, in Chicago. The Board’s proposal was based on revising the noise

measurement procedures at Section 900.103(b) and the impulsive sound standards at Section

901.104. In addition, the Board proposed incorporating Agency noise measurement procedures

1

In 1995, P.A. 89-50 (eff. July 1, 1995) (20 ILCS 5/801

et seq

. (2002)) merged DENR into the

Department of Natural Resources.

found at 35 Ill. Adm. Code 951 into Board regulations at 35 Ill. Adm. Code 910, by modifying

the Part 951 language to incorporate the recommendations contained within the Schomer reports.

In 1992, the Board closed the R91-25 docket before proceeding to first notice with proposed

changes to the Board’s noise rules.

 

The need to update the Board’s noise rules to conform to current scientific procedures has

become more apparent during the past ten years. The Board has identified necessary

improvements in several areas. In the instant rulemaking, the Board proposes changes in Part

901 and the addition of Part 910. In Part 901, the Board proposes to replace the references to the

Standard Land Use Coding System (SLUCM) codes with the more appropriate Land-Use Based

Classification System. New rules in Part 910 are proposed to incorporate Agency noise

measurement procedures found at 35 Ill. Adm. Code 951.

 

PROCEDURAL HISTORY

 

The Board opened this rulemaking by issuing a draft for public comment on February 20,

2003. The Board elicited comments on the draft prior to first notice publication from the public

and those involved in prior rulemakings involving noise regulation. Individuals who were on the

notice list were sent drafts and the hearing dates. In addition, the proposed rule and the notice of

hearings were posted on the Board’s website. The Board held two hearings in this matter after

the proposal for public comment was distributed, before Hearing Officer William F. Murphy.

The first was held in Springfield on May 1, 2003; no members of the public attended that

hearing. The second hearing (Tr.2) was held in Chicago on May 15, 2003. Joel Sternstein and

Howard Chinn of the Illinois Attorney General’s Office (AGO) attended the second hearing and

Mr. Chinn presented testimony. During the time that the proposal was offered for public

comment, the Board received two public comments, one from the AGO (PC 2) and one from Dr.

Paul Schomer (PC 1).

 

On July 10, 2003, the Board proposed the rule for first notice. On July 25, 2003, the first

notice was published in the

Illinois Register

(27 Ill. Reg. 11908). The Board received five public

comments. The comments were from Scot Forge (PC 3), Vaughan and Bushnell Manufacturing

(PC 4), Illinois Association of Aggregate Producers (IAAP) (PC 5), Boughton Trucking and

Materials Inc. (Boughton Trucking) (PC 6) and Intermet Decatur Foundry (Intermet) (PC 7). In

general, the comments requested a site-specific rule modification or requested another hearing to

discuss concerns with the proposed rule.

 

On October 18, 2003, the Board determined that additional hearings should be held.

After holding an additional hearing, the Board determined on March 4, 2004, that administrative

economy supported including site-specific changes in a new first notice. Because of these

decision, the Board withdrew the first notice (

See

28 Ill. Reg. 7341, 7342 (May 21, 2004)).

 

The Board held two additional hearings before Board Hearing Officer Marie Tipsord.

The third hearing (Tr.3) was held February 10, 2004, in Chicago. At that hearing, Mr. John P.

McGillivray testified on behalf of Scot-Forge Company and Howard Chinn testified on behalf of

the AGO. The fourth hearing (Tr.4) was held November 4, 2004, in Springfield. Mr. John

Henriksen and Dane Tittman testified on behalf of the IAAP.

The Board received an additional six comments during the second phase of hearings.

The comments were from Moline Forge (PC 8), Intermet (PC 9, IAAP (PC 10), the AGO (PC

11), Village of Bridgeview (Bridgeview) (PC 12), and the Illinois Department of Natural

Resources (IDNR) (PC 13).

 

PRE-FIRST NOTICE COMMENTS

 

Dr. Paul Schomer filed a comment questioning the Board’s language in Sections 910.106

and 910.107. Dr. Schomer indicated that the language was nearly identical to the language

contained in ANSI S12.9 Part 3-1998 (R2003) (ANSI standard). Dr. Schomer stated that the

material in ANSI standard was copyrighted material and asked that the language be removed. In

response to the comment, the Chairman of the Board (by a letter dated March 21, 2003 and

included in the record of this proceeding) notified Dr. Schomer that the language as used in

Section 910.106 and 910.107 was based on language included in an Illinois Department of

Energy and Natural Resource’s study

Proposed Revisions to Property Line Noise Source:

Measurement Procedures

(ILENR/RE-ES-91/10). The Chairman’s letter pointed out that the

study was published in 1991 and that the materials were included in a prior public record. The

Board therefore declined to remove the language.

 

The AGO filed a comment and provided testimony. In the comment, the AGO applauded

the Board’s decision to update the amendments to the noise rules. PC 1 at 1. The AGO

indicated that the updating of the noise rules is a significant regulatory update that will provide a

statewide uniform program for noise pollution enforcement by state and local governments.

Id

.

The AGO suggests adopting a five-minute measurement period rather than the current one-hour

measurement period. PC 1 at 2.

 

Mr. Chinn, chief engineer for the Environmental Bureau of the AGO, made two points.

First, he testified that the regulations should explicitly state that one-hour averaging and an

integrating meter are not required. Tr.2 at 9. Second, Mr. Chinn suggested that the Board set

statewide regulations to limit the hours of operations for all types of lawn care equipment and set

limits on the sound levels for the equipment. Tr.2 at 9, 13.

 

FIRST NOTICE

 

The participants in this rulemaking raised a number issues concerning the proposed

amendments after the publication of the first notice opinion and order on July 10, 2003

(Proposed New and Updated Rules for Measurement and Numerical Sound Emissions Standards;

Amendments to 35 Ill. Adm. Code 901 and 910, R03-9 (July 10, 1003)). These issues concerned

the qualification of sound monitoring personnel, sound measurement procedures for establishing

nuisance noise violation, numerical noise standard for highly impulsive sound from blasting

operations as it applies to aggregate industry, and forging industry site-specific regulations. The

testimony and comments presented by the participants are summarized below along with the

Board findings.

Sound Monitoring Personnel Qualifications

---

 

4

 

The IAAP, Bridgeview and Boughton Trucking expressed concerns regarding the lack of

qualification requirements for personnel conducting sound measurements to show compliance

with the standards of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 900 and 901. IAAP, the trade association representing

companies that produce crushed stone, sand, gravel, silica sand, etc. filed comments and testified

before the Board on the issue of qualification requirements. Tr.4 at 5. IAAP states that although

35 Ill. Adm. Code 951.101 sets forth qualifications for Agency personnel who conduct sound

measurements, the new Part 910 does not include similar requirements for non-Agency

personnel. PC 5 at 2. IAAP contends that although there is no State approved licensing or

certification process for personnel who conduct sound measurements, the Board should

incorporate requirements similar to the Agency rules under Part 910.

Id

. IAAP recommends

that the Board add a new section 910.101 as follows:

 

Personnel who conduct sound measurements in order to show compliance with

the Board’s noise standards in Part 900 and 901 must be trained and experienced

in the current techniques and principles of sound measurement and in the

selection and operation of sound measuring instrumentation.

 

Bridgeview and Boughton Trucking share IAAP’s concerns regarding the qualifications

requirements for personnel who conduct sound measurements. PC 6 and PC 12 at 1-2.

Bridgeview states that it concurs with IAAP’s position “that sound measurements gathered by

anyone without some basic level of training and experience are of questionable validity and

should not be considered as valid evidence of noise levels by this Board or by a court of

competent jurisdiction.” PC 12 at 2. Further, Bridgeview agrees with IAAP that sound

measurements used a corroborating evidence in nuisance cases must be collected in accordance

with the detailed sound measurement procedures set forth at 35 Ill. Adm. Code 910.105 or

951.104.

Id

. Both Bridgeview and Boughton Trucking support the alternative language

submitted by IAAP.

 

Discussion

 

The commenters raise a valid concern regarding the qualifications of personnel

conducting sound monitoring to show compliance with the noise standards set forth at 35 Ill.

Adm. Code 900 and 901. The Board recognizes that based on the complexity of the

instrumentation used and the nature of the sound source, the validity of sound measurement data

depends on the training and experience of the personnel in current techniques and principles of

sound measurement. In this regard, the Board routinely determines the validity of sound

measurement data in noise enforcement cases based on the qualifications of the person

conducting sound measurement. In making such determinations, the Board relies on sworn

expert testimony and a comprehensive record developed through a public hearing process.

 

The Board finds that the present regulatory structure, where the Board determines the

validity of sound data on a case-by-case basis in noise enforcement cases, is a more prudent

approach than prescribing vague qualification requirements. The Board believes this is

especially true absent a State approved licensing or certification process. Although the

qualification requirements proposed by IAAP is derived from an Agency regulation under Part

---

 

5

951, the proposed language lacks specificity and does not provide any additional guidance to the

Board in making its determination. In light of this, the Board declines to add the qualification

requirement proposed by IAAP.

 

Sound Measurement Procedures for Establishing Nuisance Noise Violation

 

IAAP and the Bridgeview assert that techniques for sound measurements used as

corroborating evidence in establishing nuisance noise violation must be done in accordance with

procedures of Section 910.105. PC 5 at 2; PC 12 at 2. IAAP notes that the proposed

measurement techniques applicable to nuisance noise at Section 910.104 do not require sound

measurements used for establishing nuisance violation to be gathered in accordance with the

procedures of Section 910.105, but allows such procedures to be used as guidance. Thus, IAAP

maintains that the proposal at Section 910.104 compounds the problems created by lack of

qualification requirements for personnel who conduct sound measurements. PC5 at 3.

Bridgeview agrees with IAAP’s position and supports the following amendments proposed by

IAAP to Section 910.104 (PC 12 at 2-3):

 

Sound pressure level measurements are not required to establish a violation of 35

Ill. Adm. Code 900.102 (nuisance noise). However, sound pressure level

measurements may be introduced as corroborating evidence when alleging a

violation of35 III. Adm. Code 900.102. If sound pressure level measurements are

collected, manufacturer’s instructions must be followed for the equipment used

and 35 Ill. Adm. Code 910.105 may be used as guidance in gathering data. In

addition, sound measurements used to establish a violation of 35 Ill. Adm. Code

900.102 must be obtained in accordance with either:

 

a) 35 Ill. Adm. Code 910.105; or

 

b) 35 Ill. Adm. Code 951.104.

 

Discussion

 

Section 910.104 clarifies that sound pressure level measurements are not required to

establish a violation of the Board’s nuisance noise standard at Section 900.102, although such

measurements may be used as corroborating evidence. In light of this, the Board finds that

compliance with the detailed sound measurement procedures set forth in Part 951 or the

proposed Part 910 are not required for sound measurements used as corroborating evidence in a

nuisance noise proceeding. The Board will assign appropriate weight to sound measurement

data submitted in any nuisance noise complaint based on the information in the hearing record

and in accordance with the provisions of the Act. As noted in the first first-notice opinion

(Proposed New and Updated Rules for Measurement and Numerical Sound Emissions Standards;

Amendments to 35 Ill. Adm. Code 901 and 910, R03-9 (July 10, 1003)), the Board believes that

this approach is consistent with the Board’s precedence and case law concerning nuisance noise

complaints. The Board declines to make the changes suggested by IAAP.

 

Numerical Noise Standard for Highly Impulsive Sound from Blasting Operations

---

 

6

 

IAAP expressed concerns regarding the existing standards for highly-impulsive sound

from explosive blasting at Section 901.109. Mr. John Henriksen, Executive Director of IAAP,

testified that blasting operations at aggregate production sites are regulated by the IDNR in

accordance with Section 6.5 of the Surface Mined-Land Conservation and Reclamation Act (215

ILCS 715/6.5). Tr.4 at 5 and PC 10 at 1. Mr. Henriksen stated that the industry and IDNR

“employ highly trained personnel to conduct air and . . . air blast and ground vibration

monitoring as required by the State law.” Tr.4 at 6. He noted that although blasting operations

are regulated by IDNR, IAAP members are also subject to the Board’s noise regulations.

Id

.

 

Mr. Henriksen noted that the numerical noise standard for highly impulsive sound from

blasting operations at Section 901.109 should be revised to reflect the IDNR standard. While the

IDNR regulation specifies a standard of 133 decibels at 2 Hertz instrument limit, the current

Board regulations at Section 901.109 sets forth a standard of 132 decibels for Class A land and

137 decibels for Class B land. Mr. Tittman with Vibra-Tech Engineers testified that most

modern seismographs used for monitoring blasting operations have low frequency response of

2.0 Hertz. Tr.4 at 16. Further he noted that the limit established by IDNR at this frequency is

133 decibels, which is based on a study by U.S. Bureau of Mines.

Id

. Mr. Tittman stated that

the 133 decibels limit is employed nationally to regulate explosive blasting. He also suggested

that the Board delete the standards set forth at Section 901.109 for frequency limit less than 01.

Hertz and less than 6.0 Hertz. Tr.4 at 41. Mr. Tittman stated that instruments with 0.1 Hertz

limit are laboratory grade instruments and the instruments with frequency limit of 6 Hertz are

outdated. Tr.4 at 40. As an alternative to making the suggested changes, IAAP recommends that

the Board amend the noise regulations to defer to IDNR’s enforcement of Illinois’ aggregate

industry in accordance with Section 6.5 of the Surface Mined-Land Conservation and

Reclamation Act. PC 10.

 

IDNR submitted comments supporting IAAP’s position regarding the regulation of

blasting operations. PC 13. IDNR states that it regulates blasting operations at all surface

aggregate and coal mines in the State. IDNR employs conservative limits of 1 inch per second

ground vibration and 133 decibels maximum air over pressure.

Id

. IDNR states that regulatory

compliance at all of the State’s 172 active aggregate and coal blasting sites is determined by

routine inspection and monitoring by highly trained field staff. In light of this, IDNR requests

that the Board take into consideration IAAP’s recommendations and avoid any duplicity between

the State agency regulations. In addition, IDNR recommends that air over pressure limit be

established at the commonly accepted industry standard of 133 decibels at 2.0 Hertz.

 

Discussion

 

The Board appreciates the testimony and comments presented by IAAP and IDNR

regarding the blasting noise standards. While the Board recognizes that the State’s aggregate

mining industry is regulated by IDNR pursuant to the Surface Mined-Land Conservation and

Reclamation Act (215 ILCS 715/6.5 (2002)), any noise emissions from the activities at the

aggregate production sites are also subject to the Board’s noise regulations under Section 24 of

the Act (415 ILCS 5/24 (2002)). Given the broad applicability of the noise prohibition set forth

at Section 24 of the Act (415 ILCS 5/24 (2002)), any exemption from the Board’s noise

---

 

7

regulations would require a statutory amendment. The statute specifically excludes “any

organized amateur or professional sporting activity” with certain exceptions from the nuisance

noise provisions of Section 24 of the Act (415 ILCS 5/24 (2002)). 415 ILCS 5/25 (2002).

However, the statute is silent concerning the aggregate mining industry. Therefore absent a

statutory exclusion, the provisions of Section 24 of the Act (415 ILCS 5/24 (2002)) apply.

 

Based on the plain language of the Act, the Board declines to defer the regulation of

noise emissions from the aggregate industry to IDNR. However, the Board will amend Section

901.109 as suggested by IAAP and IDNR to ensure that the aggregate industry is subjected to a

consistent statewide regulatory standard.

 

The Board changes the equivalent maximum sound pressure level limit for a sound

measuring instrument with lower frequency limit of 2.0 Hertz at Section 901.109(b) from: 132

decibels to 133 decibels for receiving Class A land; and 137 decibels to 133 decibels for

receiving Class B land. The limit of 133 decibels reflects the IDNR standard set forth at 35 Ill.

Adm. Code. In addition, the Board eliminates the equivalent maximum sound pressure level

limits for receiving Class A and Class B land for instruments with lower frequency limits of 0.1

Hertz and 6.0 Hertz. As noted by Mr. Tittman, the 0.1 Hertz instruments are laboratory grade

instruments, which are not used in the field and the 6.0 Hertz devices are no longer

manufactured.

 

Site-Specific Noise Regulations Concerning Forging Industry

 

The Board has adopted a number of site-specific noise regulations pertaining to forging

industry under Part 901. On March 4, 2004, the Board determined that “administrative economy

supports including the site-specific changes” in this rulemaking proposal. In response to that

order, the Board received comments from four companies that are subject to a site-specific rules.

Moline Forge commented on the proposal noting that the site-specific rule is “still required and

critical for Moline Forge to operate” and does not seek a change to the rule. PC 8 at 1. Three of

the companies that are subject to the site-specific rules have filed comments seeking changes to

those rules. These companies include Scot Forge, Vaughan and Bushnell Manufacturing

Company, and Intermet Decatur Foundry. The following discussion explains the site-specific

changes suggested by the three companies.

 

Scot Forge

 

Scot Forge seeks a revision of the site-specific rule at Section 901.118 that applies to one

of Scot Forge’s divisions, Atlas Forge located in Cicero, Illinois. Scot Forge states that it

purchased another drop hammer forging company located in Franklin Park, Illinois in 1992 and

consolidated the Cicero Plant operations described in Section 901.118 with the Franklin Park

facility. PC 3. Scot Forge notes that the Cicero Plant was shut down and the property was sold

upon completion of the consolidation. Scot Forge now requests that the Board amend the site-

specific rule at Section 901.118 to: (1) reflect the change in location of Scot Forge’s operation

from Cicero to Franklin Park; (2) increase the number of hammers allowed to operate at any

given time from six to seven; and (3) change the operating hours from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. to 6 a.m.

to 11 p.m.

---

Mr. John McGillivray, Manager of Safety and Environmental Affairs, testified on behalf

of Scot Forge regarding the consolidated operation and the requested relief. Mr. McGillivray

stated that the Franklin Park facility is bordered on the east by Wisconsin Central Railroad line,

on the west by Nelson Steel, and on the south across the street by a bakery. Tr.3 at 9-10, 14.

Further, he noted that residential homes are located to the east of the facility and also on the side

streets behind the businesses along Belmont avenue (north). Tr.3 at 20. Mr. McGillivray noted

that the nearest residence is located west of Nelson Steel at a distance of approximately 100

yards from Scot Forge’s facility. Tr.3 at 11, 14.

   

Regarding the forging operation, Mr. McGillivray stated that while the facility purchased

from Hellstrom Corporation had eight steam drop hammers, currently Scot Forge operates only

six hammers at the facility. Tr.3 at 8. He noted that the hammers are 30 to 50 years old.

Although the initial request for relief was based on six hammers operating at any one time, Mr.

McGillivray requested that the Board grant relief for the operation of seven hammers at any

given time.

Id

. He noted that the addition of the seventh hammer would provide operational

flexibility to accommodate growth in the business.

Id.

Scot Forge’s annual sales are expected to

increase from $145 million to $ 154 million in 2004. Tr.2 at 6. Scot Forge employs

approximately 60 people at the Franklin Park facility. Tr.3 at 15.

 

With regard to operating hours, Mr. McGillivray explained that while currently the

hammers are operated only during the first shift, Scot Forge might run them during second shift

if business continues to grow. Tr.3 at 15. At present he noted “second shift personnel only run

the machine side and heat treat operations, and then third shift is a . . . one maintenance person

and one heat treat operator. So those, generally speaking, are noiseless operations.” Tr.3 at 16.

Mr. McGillivray stated that the majority of noise from the operations comes between 6 a.m. and

approximately 3:30 to 4:00 p.m.

Id

.

 

Mr. McGillivray also provided testimony on the ambient noise and the noise levels

emanating from the forging operations. Mr. McGillivray maintained that noise levels in the area

are exceptionally high because of the train traffic on Wisconsin Central Rail Road, which is one

of the largest and busiest railroads in the area. Tr.3 at 9. Regarding the noise from the facility,

he noted that while the noise levels inside the building range from 110 to 114 dB, the noise

levels outside at the facility perimeter is typically down 92 to 93 dB. Tr.3 at 9-10. Mr.

McGillivray stated that he measured the noise levels by using a noise dosimeter. Tr.3 at 13. He

also clarified that the facility does not utilize any specific acoustic baffling material. Tr.3 at 20-

21. Mr. McGillivray stated Scot Forge works with the Franklin Park community to resolve any

issues that may come up, and during his six-year tenure, he has not received a single noise

complaint. Tr.3 at 10.

 

Scot Forge proposes the following changes to Section 901.118:

 

Section 901.118 Atlas Forgings Division of Scot Forge Company – Franklin Park

Division Operational Level

 

---

 

9

Atlas Forge Division of Scot Forge and future owners of the forging facility

located at 9394 W. Belmont Avenue, Franklin Park 1501 South 55th Court,

Cicero, Illinois, shall comply with the following site-specific operational level:

 

a) Operate no more than seven three forging hammers at any one time; and

 

b) Operate its forging hammers only between the hours of 6:00 a.m. and

116:00 p.m. Monday through Saturday.

 

Discussion.

The Board adopted the site-specific rule for Scot Forge’s Cicero forging

operation in Atlas Forging Division of Scot Forge Petition for Site-Specific Operational Level

Pursuant to Chapter 8: Noise Pollution, R83-34 (Dec. 20, 1984) (R83-34) pursuant to Section

901.105(d), which allows an existing impact forging operation (pre-1982) to seek site-specific

relief if the facility is unable to comply with numeric standards for forging operations set forth at

Section 901.105. Section 901.105(d) prescribes detailed informational requirements for filing

site-specific petitions, including a filing deadline of December 31, 1983. Although, the current

request from Scot Forge is not filed pursuant to Section 901.105(d), the Board considers the

informational requirements as a guide in making its determination on Scot Forge’s request.

These requirements include the following:

 

A) The location of the petitioner, a description of the surrounding community,

and a map locating the petitioner within the community;

 

B) A description of the petitioner's operations, the number and size of the

petitioner's forging hammers, the current hours of hammer operation, the

approximate number of forgings manufactured during each of the three

prior calendar years and the approximate number of hammer blows used to

manufacture the forgings.

 

C) A description of any existing sound abatement measure.

 

D) The sound levels in excess of those permitted by subparagraph (c) emitted

by the petitioner into the community, in 5-decibel increments measured in

Leq, shown on the map of the community.

 

E) The number of residences exposed to sound levels in excess of those

permitted by subparagraph (c);

 

F) A description of other significant sources of noise (mobile and stationary)

and their location shown on the map of the community. 35 Ill. Adm. Code

901.105(d).

 

Scot Forge’s Franklin Park facility is located at 9394 W. Belmont Avenue, which is a

mixed land use location with commercial, industrial and residential properties. While Scot Forge

did not provide a map locating the facility and surrounding area, the record indicates that a major

railroad line on one side and a steel company on the other border the facility. The nearest

---

 

10

residence is located 100 yards from the facility. Although Scot Forge did not provide a detailed

noise survey based on Leq measurements, Mr. McGillivray testified that A-weighted noise levels

near the perimeter of the facility range from 92 to 93 decibels and the ambient noise is

exceptionally high mainly because of the train traffic. Further, Scot Forge has not received any

noise complaints from its neighbors.

 

Scot Forge was asked to inform the Board if any of the factors considered by the Board in

granting site-specific relief to its Cicero plant had changed over the years. So far, Scot Forge has

not submitted any new information regarding economic reasonableness and technical feasibility

of complying with the rule of general applicability.

 

At this time, the Board proposes to grant the requested site-specific relief based upon the

information in the record, and the Board’s prior site-specific rulemakings concerning existing

forging industry. Particularly, the Board relies on its prior decisions regarding economic

reasonableness and technical feasibility. The records in a number of site-specific regulations

concerning forging industry, including Scot Forge’s Cicero operation clearly, indicate that while

compliance is technically feasible, the extremely high cost of compliance makes it economically

unreasonable.

See

R83-34.

 

Given that Scot Forge has been operating the Franklin Park facility over 10 years without

any complaints, the Board believes that allowing the operation of seven hammers would not

result in significant noise impact on the area residents. In this regard, the Board notes that prior

rulemaking records indicate that noise from forging hammers does not endanger the hearing of

area residents. Although Scot Forge requests that the hammers be allowed to operate from 6

a.m. to 11 p.m., the Board proposes to limit the operation of the hammers from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m.

since the record indicates that noise from the operations comes between 6.00 a.m. and

approximately 3:30 to 4 p.m. The Board invites Scot Forge to provide additional information for

the record during the first-notice period, if Scot Forge believes that the change in the hours of

operation should be until 11 p.m.

 

Vaughan and Bushnell Manufacturing Company

 

Vaughan and Bushnell filed comments seeking revision of the site-specific rule at Section

901.121, which applies to its facility located at the intersection of Davis and Main Streets,

Bushnell, Illinois. Vaughan and Bushnell requests that the Board revise Section 901.121 to

allow the facility to operate 11 hammers at any one time instead of 10 hammers allowed under

the current rule. PC 4. Vaughan and Bushnell also seek a correction in the hours of operation

from “6 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.” to “6 a.m. to 1:30 a.m.” in the site-specific rule.

 

Discussion.

In reviewing the Board’s opinion and order in Vaughan and Bushnell’s site-

specific rule (R83-32, May 2, 1985), a misprint was found. The misprint inadvertently changed

the allowed hours of operation from “6 a.m. to 1:30 a.m.” to “6 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.” in the rule

text. The Board will therefore make that change. However, the Board notes that other than

requesting that the number of hammers be changed from ten to eleven at Section 901.121(b),

Vaughan and Bushnell’s comments do not provide any information regarding the use of an

additional hammer or the impact on noise emissions. In light of this, the Board declines to make

---

 

11

the requested change, as the record does not support the changes. The Board invites Vaughan

and Bushnell to provide additional information for the record during the first-notice period, if

Vaughan and Bushnell believes that the additional hammer is necessary.

 

Intermet Decatur Foundry

 

Intermet Foundry, which is also known as Wagner Casting, filed comments requesting

that the Board repeal the site-specific rule applicable to Wagner Casting at Section 901.113.

Intermet Foundry’s comments note that forging operation at the facility ceased prior to 1984 and

all equipment associated with the forging operations has since been dismantled and either sold or

discarded. PC 7 and 9. Further, Intermet Foundry states that it has no intention of re-

establishing forging operation at the Decatur facility.

 

Discussion.

The Board appreciates Intermet Foundry’s comments and proposes to repeal

the site-specific rule applicable to Wagner castings at Section 901.113.

 

Other Issues

 

Mr. Chinn’s comments on behalf of the AGO presented two issues for the Board. First,

Mr. Chinn requested that the Board reconsider its decision not to adopt a state-wide rule to limit

the hours of operation for lawn care equipment and set sound limits for such equipment. PC 11.

Mr. Chinn submitted an ordinance from the Village of Morton Grove’s municipal code that

regulates the noise levels, and hours of operation of lawn equipment to support the AGO’s

position. Second, Mr. Chinn also suggested that the Board adopt a five-minute measurement

period rather than the current one-hour measurement period. PC 1 at 2.

 

Discussion

 

The Board appreciates Mr. Chinn’s comments; however, the Board declines to limit the

hours of operation for lawn care equipment since such a limitation is beyond the scope of this

rulemaking. As to Mr. Chinn’s second suggestion, the Board addressed that issue in a previous

rulemaking docket.

See

Noise Rule Update: Amendments to 35 Ill. Adm. Code 900 and 903,

R03-8 (June 5, 2003). In that rulemaking the Board adopted a ten-minute interval measurement

period and replaced the Board’s prior rule requiring a one-hour averaging for sound pressure

measurements.

 

PROPOSAL OVERVIEW

 

The Board will explain each section of the rule in the following discussion.

 

35 Ill. Adm. Code 910: Measurement Procedures for the

Enforcement of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 900 and 901

 

 

The proposed new Part 910 sets forth the measurement procedures for enforcing the

Board’s noise standards in Parts 900 and 901. These procedures are essentially based upon the

Agency’s noise measurement protocols at 35 Ill. Adm. Code 951. The Board has made a number

---

 

12

of substantive changes to the Agency’s measurement protocols to reflect the recommendations of

the IDNR’s noise reports. A brief description of the proposed procedures is provided below.

 

Section 910.100 General

 

This Section sets forth the scope of the proposed noise measurement procedures and

techniques. The Board has deleted references to “Agency personnel,” since the measurement

procedures are applicable to any person conducting noise measurements to demonstrate

compliance with Parts 900 and 901.

 

Section 910.101 Personnel Qualification

 

The Board decided not to incorporate the Agency’s personnel qualification requirements

in the instant proposal since they are specific to Agency personnel, and also because the

requirements are not based on any State approved licensing or certification. (

See infra

@)

 

Section 910.102 Instrumentation

  

 

This section sets forth the requirements for sound measuring equipment, sound indicating

devices such as magnetic tape recorder or graphic level recorder, and weather measuring

instruments. These requirements are the same as those in Part 951, except for the updated

references to the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), and the International

Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) standards.

See

changes at Section 910.102(a).

 

Section 910.103 Definitions

 

The Board has moved all pertinent definitions found in the Agency’s regulations to 35 Ill.

Adm. Code 900.103, which contains the definitions applicable to the Board’s noise regulations.

 

Section 910.104 Measurement Techniques for 35 Ill. Adm. Code 900

 

This section clarifies that while sound pressure level measurements are not required to

establish a violation of the Board’s nuisance noise standard at 35 Ill. Adm. Code 900.102, such

measurements may be used as corroborating evidence. In this regard, the proposal requires a

person conducting sound measurements to comply with the instructions of the sound

measurement equipment manufacturer. Further, Section 910.104 sets forth that the measurement

techniques proposed at Section 910.105 may be used as guidance. While the proposed approach

deviates from the detailed sound measurement requirements specified in Part 951, the Board

believes that the proposed approach is consistent with the Board’s precedence and case law

concerning nuisance noise complaints. (

See infra

@)

 

Section 910.105 Measurement Techniques for 35 Ill. Adm. Code 901

 

The measurement techniques for obtaining sound pressure levels to demonstrate

compliance with Part 901 standards are essentially the same as the Agency’s regulations, except

for the deletion of measurement procedures for steady sound, fluctuating sound, intermittent

---

 

13

sound, impulsive sound, and quasi steady sound set forth at Sections 910.105 (d)(3) through

(d)(7), respectively. The Board notes that these measurement procedures are addressed by the

measurement techniques for highly-impulsive sound set forth at Section 910.107.

 

Section 910.106 Protocols for Determination of Sound Levels

 

This section sets forth a systematic set of procedures for determination of equivalent

sound level (Leq) using as an example the determination of a 1-hour Leq corrected for background

ambient sound. The proposed protocols are based on the recommendations of the Department’s

noise study entitled “ Proposed Revisions to Property Line Noise Source: Measurement

Procedures.” These protocols prescribe detailed data collection requirements, and equations for

averaging sound data on an energy basis. In addition, Section 910.106 prescribes procedures

correcting the raw equivalent sound level for background ambient sound. The proposal also

prescribes detailed procedures for measuring background ambient sound that include both direct

measurement methods and the use of Tables of long-term background ambient.

 

Section 910.107 Measurement Techniques for Highly-Impulsive Sound under 35 Ill.

Adm. Code 901.104

  

Two equally valid methods are proposed for measuring highly-impulsive sound. The

first method, termed the “General Method” at Section 901.107(b), provides for A-weighted Leq

measurement using the procedures set forth in Sections 910.105 and 910.106. The second

method, which is referred to as the “Controlled Test Method” at Section 910.107(c), involves the

determination of total sound exposure per hour. Again, the Board notes that the proposed

protocols are based on the Department’s noise study.

 

35 Ill. Adm. Code 901: Sound Emission Standards and Limitations for

Property Line-Noise-Sources

 

The proposed changes to Part 901 replace the existing Standard Land Use Coding

Manual (SLUCM) based land classification, and revise the impulsive sound standards. A brief

description of the proposed changes is provided below.

 

Section 901.101 Classification of Land According to Use

 

The changes proposed to this section update the existing land use classification, which is

based on SLUCM codes, with the Land-Based Classification Standards (LBCS) codes. The

Board notes that the LBCS, which replaced the 1965 SLUCM, provides a consistent model for

classifying land uses based on a multi-dimensional land use classification model. While the

LBCS provides for classification of land use based on activity, function, structure type, site

development character, and ownership, the Board is proposing to update the SLUCM codes with

the LBCS function codes. In this regard, the Board believes that the LBCS functional categories

are very similar to the SLUCM categories listed in the existing regulations at Part 901, Appendix

B.

 

---

 

14

Consistent with the changes proposed to Section 901.101, the instant proposal also

replaces the SLUCM Codes Table in Part 901, Appendix B with the LBCS function codes. For

more detailed information concerning the LBCS, the Board directs interested persons to review

the LBCS executive summary or visit the LBCS web page (www.planning.org/LBCS ).

 

Section 901.104 Highly-Impulsive Sound

 

The proposed changes to Section 901.104 clarify that the impulsive sound standards are

based on 1-hour A-weighted equivalent sound levels, and revise the numeric standards. The

revisions to the numeric limits for highly-impulsive sound are based on the recommendations of

the Department’s Impulse Noise Study. These revisions are intended to bring highly impulsive

noise standards into conformity with the standards set forth in Sections 901.102 and 901.103 in

terms of the effective community response. A more detailed discussion of the proposed

revisions may be found in proposal.

 

CONCLUSION

 

Based on the record developed to date in this matter, the Board finds that adoption of the

following rulemaking for the purposes of first notice is warranted. As four hearings have been

held on the proposal, the Board does not presently plan to hold an additional hearing unless one

is requested during the first-notice period under Section 5-40 of the Administrative Procedure

Act.

seeking a permanent site specific operational level and shall file said

evaluation within ninety (90) days following receipt of the petition with

both the Board and the petitioner.

 

e) Land Use Classifications Preserved

 

The land use classifications in effect within a one-mile radius of an existing

impact forging operation on September 1, 1982 remains shall remain the

applicable land use classification for enforcement of these rules against an

existing forging operation and any future modification thereof, regardless of

actual subsequent changes in land use unless such actual changes would impose

less restrictive limitations on the impact forging operations.

 

f) Site-Specific Operational Levels. Each individual existing forging operation

identified in Sections 901.110, 901.111 and 901.112 must comply with the site-

specific operational level defined, or is otherwise subject to Section 901.105(c).

Section 901.106 Prominent Discrete Tones

 

a) No person shall cause or allow the emission of any prominent discrete tone from

any property-line-noise-source located on any Class A, B or C land to any

receiving Class A, B or C land, provided, however, that no measurement of one-

third octave band sound pressure levels shall be made less than 25 feet from such

property-line source.

 

b) This rule shall not apply to prominent discrete tones having a one-third octave

band sound pressure level 10 or more dB below the allowable octave band sound

pressure level specified in the applicable tables in Sections 901.102 through

901.104 for the octave band which contains such one-third octave band. In the

application of this sub-section, the applicable numeric standard table for sound

emitted from any existing property-line-noise-source to receiving Class A land,

for both daytime and nighttime operations, is shall be found in Section
