1ST NOTICE
FINAL ORDER OF THE BOARD
(by
I.
Goodman):
In response to objections made on August 26,
1980 by
the Joint Committee on Administrative Rules
to the procedures
followed by the Board in its Second Notice of proposed rule-
making hereunder, the Board
is ordering that a second First
Notice issue.
The Board has deleted Rule 206(d) and has
imposed one complicance date for all sources in Rule 209(h).
In other respects the Order
is identical to that published
in the March
7,
1980 Illinois Register.
The Board hereby proposes to adopt the following amendments
to Rules 101,
206, and 209, and to repeal Rule 205, of Chapter
8, Noise Regulations.
Rule 101:
DEFINITIONS
(b)
~
~
~
A-weighted Sound Level:
In decibels,
a frequency
weighted sound pressure level, determined by the
use of the metering characteristics and A—weighted
network specified in ANSI
§1.4
—
1971 “Specifica-ET?1 w?150 214 m?503 214 l?S?BT?
tion for Sound Level Meters” and the latest revi-ET?1 w?150 201 m?503 201 l?S?BT?
sions thereof.
(c)
~
Construction:
On—site erection, fabrication,
installation, alteration, demolition or removal of
any structure,
facility, or addition thereto,
including all related activities,
including, but
not restricted to, clearing of land, earthmoving,
blasting and landscaping.

Daytime hours:

local time.
(g)
Fast Dynamic Characteristic:
The
dynamic character-ET?1 w?129 660 m?504 660 l?S?BT?
istic specified as “FAST” in ANSI §1.4
—
1971 “Spec—
ification for Sound Level
Meters”
and the latest
revisions
thereof
(The definition of “Fast Dynamic Characteristic”
becomes 101(g).
The present definitions 101(g)
through 101(q)
remain unchanged but must be re-
designed as 101(h) through 101(r).
The present
101(r)
“Sound Level” definition is deleted as being
unnecessary in view of the new definition 101(b)
“A—weighted Sound Level.”)
