Proposed Rule. Second 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 (2004)) 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 The instant proposal revises outdated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. The Board today proposes for second notice the

amendments.

 

BACKGROUND

 

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 and the Board

held two hearings before Hearing Officer William F. Murphy. The first hearing 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 this

decision, the Board withdrew the first notice (

See

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

 

The Board held two 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 six additional 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).

 

On March 17, 2005, the Board proceeded to a second first notice with this rulemaking.

That first notice was published in the

Illinois Register

on April 15, 2005 (29 Ill. Reg. 5196). The

Board held an additional hearing on September 1, 2005 (Tr. 5) and at that hearing Mr. Henriksen

again testified along with Mr. Willard Pierce of Evenson Explosives, LLC on behalf of IAAP.

Also Mr. Jim Hafliger of the IDNR testified. The public comment period closed on October 17,

2005, and the Board received six additional comments during the 2005 first-notice period. Those

comments are:

 

PC 14 Joseph R. Angleton, Office Director, Office of

Mines and Minerals, Illinois Department of Natural

Resources

PC 15 John Henriksen, Executive Director, Illinois

Association of Aggregate Producers

PC 16 Dr. Paul Schomer, Schomer and Associates, Inc.

PC 17 Therese M. Dorigan, Bradburne, Briller & Johnson,

PC 18 Village of Bridgeview

PC 19 Dr. Paul Schomer, on behalf of Village of

Bridgeview

 

COMMENTS AND TESTIMONY

 

 

The Board received six comments along with testimony at the September 1, 2005 hearing

regarding the Board’s 2005 first-notice proposal. The following paragraphs will summarize the

comments and testimony received by the Board.

 

Testimony

 

---

 

3

At the September 1, 2005 hearing, Mr. John Henriksen again testified along with Mr.

Willard Pierce of Evenson Explosives, LLC on behalf of IAAP. Also Mr. Jim Hafliger of the

Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR), Office of Mines and Minerals testified.

 

Mr. John Henriksen

 

Mr. Henriksen manages IAAP, which is a trade association representing companies that

produce aggregates (

i.e.

crushed sand, stone, and gravel). Tr.5 at 6-7. The companies have 113

members that operate in 80 Illinois counties and produce 111 million tons of materials. Tr.5 at 7.

The aggregate industry has been regulated for blasting by IDNR since 1995 pursuant to Section

6.5 of the Surface-Mined Land Conservation and Reclamation Act (225 ILCS 715/6.5 (2004)).

Id

. IDNR’s Office of Mines and Minerals has promulgated a set of regulations that regulate

blasting at coal mining and aggregate mining sites in Illinois pursuant to Section 3.13 of the

Surface Coal Mining Land Conservation and Reclamation Act (225 ILCS 715/3.13 (2004)) (

See

 

62 Ill. Adm. Code 300, 1816). Tr.5 at 7.

 

Mr. Henriksen testifies that IDNR’s Office of Mines and Minerals has promulgated a

comprehensive set of regulations that subjects explosives blasting at coal mining and aggregate

mining operations to air blast or ground vibration monitoring, or both, as necessary to prevent

property damage and protect public safety. Tr.5 at 7-8. Additionally, IDNR enforces the

regulations using highly trained, technologically proficient inspectors and state of the art

equipment.

Id

.

 

Mr. Henriksen states that the Board is seeking to maintain a duplicative and overlapping

regulatory program for coal mining and aggregate producers in Illinois. Tr.5 at 8. Mr.

Henriksen argues that Section 25 of the Act provides that the Board “may adopt” regulations

limiting noise emissions; however, the Board is not required to adopts such limitations. Tr.5 at

9-10. Mr. Henriksen asserts that the Board has elected not to regulate other sources of noise and

can do so here as well.

Id

. Mr. Henriksen acknowledges that the Board has the authority to

decide which activities should be regulated. Tr.5 at 10. Mr. Henriksen contends, however, that

regulation of sound generated by blasting operations at aggregate or coal mines, which are

already highly regulated by a sister agency, is unreasonable. Tr.5 at 10-11. Mr. Henriksen

suggests that Part 901 not apply to explosive operations at mines. Tr.5 at 11-12.

 

In response to questions from the Board, Mr. Henriksen states that only the sound

produced from blasting should be exempted from the Board’s rules. Tr.5 at 35. Mr. Henriksen

states that the Board should regulate steady noises that are a function of mining operations such

as sounds generated from crushing equipment and backup alarms on equipment.

Id

. However,

pursuant to Section 25 of the Act (415 ILCS 5/25 2004), Mr. Henriksen believes the Board

should defer to IDNR’s regulations on blasting at mining operations.

Id

.

 

Mr. Henriksen recommends that if the Board decides to continue to regulate the noise

emissions from blasting at mining operations, the Board should adopt a regulatory program in

harmony with IDNR’s program. Tr.5 at 13. In order for the Board’s rules to be consistent with

IDNR’s program, Mr. Henriksen suggests language changes such as limiting blasting from

sunrise to sunset and shifting the regulatory focus from the property line to protected structures.

---

 

4

Tr.5 at 13-14. Also, Mr. Henriksen maintains that none of the monitoring methods proposed in

Part 910 will monitor highly impulsive sound from blasting. Tr.5 at 15.

 

Mr. Jim Hafliger

 

Mr. Hafliger, whose title is Chief Division Technical Explosive Specialist in the Office of

Mines and Minerals at IDNR, testified to provide the Board with an overview of IDNR’s

program and responsibilities related to blasting at coal mines and aggregate mines in Illinois.

Tr.5 at 17. Mr. Hafliger attempts to point to areas of duplication between the Board’s

regulations and IDNR’s program.

Id

. IDNR’s program is staffed by 12 individuals in three

offices throughout the state. Tr.5 at 17-18. Eight of the staff members are full time inspectors

regulating the use of explosives in Illinois. Tr.5 at 18. Part of IDNR’s statutorily mandated

duties include regulating the use, handling and storage of explosives at the 172 active surface

mining operations in Illinois.

Id

. IDNR’s inspectors are in the field on a daily basis. These

inspectors use 35 seismographs that register and record (for analysis by IDNR’s experts) the

traces reflected as a result of air blast or air overpressure and ground vibrations at the mining

operations.

Id

.

 

IDNR’s program has been in place for many years and started with regulation of

explosive use in the 1930s. Tr.5 at 18. In the 1980s, IDNR began regulating coal blasting

operations and in the 1990s regulating blasting operations at the surface aggregate operations.

Tr.5 at 18-19. The field inspectors are trained to use the seismographs and to analyze the data.

Tr.5 at 19. IDNR regularly monitors the sites and takes a proactive stance to make sure the

operators are fulfilling their statutory obligations. Tr.5 at 20. IDNR has a comprehensive

training program for people who undertake blasting in Illinois and recently Illinois was

recognized for using an estimated 500 million pounds of explosives over a five-year period

without a reported injury. Tr.5 at 20-21.

 

IDNR’s program is enforced using a hearing process within IDNR and can include fines

or even suspension or revocation of actual blasting operations. Tr.5 at 41. The program includes

requirements for recordkeeping for each blast that incorporates every minor detail of the blast.

Tr.5 at 41-42. Mr. Hafliger testifies that there are 17 different criterion included on the blasting

records which must be available for inspection by IDNR’s staff. Tr.5 at 42-43. Furthermore,

both the mining company and the actual person performing the blasting are subject to sanctions

for violation of IDNR’s rules. Tr.5 at 43-44. Mr. Hafliger also notes that IDNR has an 800

number to be used for any complaints relating to blasting and that number has received about

100 complaints this year. Tr.5 at 44, 46.

 

Mr. Willard Pierce

 

Mr. Pierce is general manager of Evenson Explosives, which provides blasting services in

four states with a majority of that in Illinois. Tr. 5 at 23. Mr. Pierce also worked for IDNR and

helped establish and implement the blasting regulatory program at IDNR.

Id

. Mr. Pierce wishes

to ensure that the regulatory requirements are consistent and that the requirements can be

implemented. Tr.5 at 24. Mr. Pierce testifies that based on the regulations, blasters in Illinois

---

 

5

need two years hand on experience, as well as class room training and examination before

receiving a license. Tr.5 at 24.

 

Mr. Pierce expresses concern over the inconsistency in the C-weighted numbers between

those in Section 901.109 and IDNR’s rules. Tr.5 at 25-26. Mr. Pierce also suggests that there

should only be one standard and that standard should not deviate depending on the time of day or

the number of times a blast occurs during the day. Tr.5 at 26.

 

Mr. Pierce also testifies that an air blast is a very specific type of sound and is a very low

frequency. Tr.5 at 26. Mr. Pierce states that you do not actually “hear” an air blast but rather the

effects of the air blast.

Id

. For example, Mr. Pierce states that you may hear surface delays or

venting and you might feel the blast in your chest.

Id

.

 

Mr. Pierce indicates that about 12 years ago the International Society of Explosive

Engineers worked with manufacturers of monitoring equipment to develop standards for

monitoring air blasts from blasting. Tr.5 at 27. The standard was published in 1999 and uses the

seismograph for measuring air blast because the seismograph can measure ground vibration and

air blast. Tr.5 at 27-28. Mr. Pierce sums up his position by stating that the industry has a

standard for air blast, and a standard for monitoring which has been in place for a number of

years. Tr.5 at 29-30. Further, the standard is based on science and is protective of structures.

Tr.5 at 30.

 

Mr. Pierce notes that air blast is a short-term transient noise, that lasts about three

seconds. Tr.5 at 28. Thus, where the Board’s propose rule suggests shutting off monitoring

equipment for transient noise, the rule would seem to allow shutting down monitoring equipment

for air blasts.

Id

. Mr. Pierce recommends that if the Board chooses to adopt a rule requiring

monitoring of air blasting, that the Board require the use of a blasting seismograph for

monitoring. Tr.5 at 29.

 

Mr. Pierce summarizes his testimony by stating that he has five recommendations. The

first is that the C-weighted and flat response microphones have the same number. Tr.5 at 30.

Second, Mr. Pierce recommends that the limit for air blasts apply at a structure, not the property

line.

Id

. Third, Mr. Pierce recommends limiting blasting from sunrise to sunset, except in

emergency situations. Tr.5 at 31. Fourth, Mr. Pierce does not believe the limits should be

lowered based on the time of day.

Id

. And fifth, Mr. Pierce urges the Board to require the use of

monitoring procedures and equipment appropriate to blasting.

Id

.

 

Public Comments

 

 

As indicated by the list above the Board received six comments including two from Dr.

Paul Schomer including one on behalf of the Village of Bridgeview. The Board will group the

comments by the author of the comment.

 

Office of Mines and Minerals, IDNR

IDNR regulates blasting operations at all surface aggregate and coal mines in Illinois. PC

14 at 1. IDNR’s comprehensive regulations help prevent personal injury and property damage

though the use of the conservative limits of one inch per second ground vibration and 133dB

maximum air over pressure.

Id

. IDNR comments that these standards are nationally recognized

and accepted industry practice.

Id

. IDNR determines regulatory compliance by routinely

inspecting and monitoring blasting at all of the State’s 172 active aggregate and coal blasting

sites.

Id

. IDNR’s staff of 13 people have over 100 years of combined explosives related

experience and field inspectors trained in the technical elements of seismology regularly monitor

blasting using state-of-the-art seismographs.

Id

.

 

IDNR specifically lists several points where the Board’s proposal is inconsistent or

deviates from IDNR’s standards and IDNR recommends changes for consistency. First, IDNR

notes that the amendments to Section 901.109(a) result in limits that are inconsistent with and

less stringent than the IDNR limits. PC 14 at 1. IDNR also suggests that the limits remain

constant from sunrise to sunset and not be amended based on the time of day. PC 14 at 2. IDNR

recommends that the regulatory limits apply to the nearest protected structure rather than the

property line.

Id

. IDNR also notes that the monitoring methods in Part 910 are not conducive

for use in monitoring blasting and seismographs are specifically designed for monitoring

blasting.

Id

.

 

IDNR states that the proposed rules are trying to fit air over pressure within the scope of

intrusive noise and sound regulations when in fact the two are separate issues. PC 14 at 2.

IDNR suggests that the surface aggregate and coal mine blasting provisions in the Board’s rules

be deferred to IDNR for regulation.

Id

.

 

IAAP

 

 

IAAP’s public comment echoes the testimony of Mr. Henriksen in suggesting that the

Board can and should defer to IDNR for the regulation of blasting at aggregate and coal mining

operations. PC 15. IAAP points out that IDNR has regulated blasting operations at aggregate

mines since 1995 and surface coal mines since 1982.

Id

. IAAP suggests that if the Board does

decide to regulate blasting from mine operations, then the rules should be amended to ensure

consistency between the Board and IDNR’s regulations.

Id

.

 

Ms. Therese M. Dorigan

 

 

Ms. Dorigan filed a comment on behalf of Kropp Forge. PC 17. Ms. Dorigan notes that

Kropp Forge is not seeking any site-specific relief in this proceeding, but wishes to preserve any

right to seek site-specific relief from the Board at a future date.

Id

.

 

Dr. Paul Schomer and Village of Bridgeview

 

 

Dr. Schomer and Bridgeview reiterate the positions taken by Bridgeview at first notice

concerning both the sound monitoring personnel qualifications and sound measurement

procedures for establishing nuisance noise violation. PC 16, 18, and 19. Bridgeview also argues

that bad science and misleading evidence should not be admissible in nuisance cases any more

---

 

7

than in numeric violation cases and challenges the use of noise measurements in nuisance noise

enforcement proceedings. PC 18 at 1. In addition, Dr. Schomer raises concerns about the

efficacy of the Board’s rules. PC 19 at 2. The following paragraphs will summarize the

comments.

 

 

Sound Monitoring Personnel Qualifications.

Dr. Schomer comments that the lay

person taking sound measurements can make errors when taking those measurements. PC 16 at

1. According to Dr. Schomer those errors include:

 

1. A lay person does not understand or necessarily hear properly background noise;

 

2. A lay person does not understand the role that wind induced noise makes on

measurements;

 

3. A lay person does not understand the role that reflecting surfaces have on noise

measurements. PC 16 at 2-3.

 

The “implications” of errors in measurement in Dr. Schomer’s opinion is that the evidence of

noise emissions measured by a lay person is inherently unreliable. PC 16 at 3.

 

Dr. Schomer argues that the Board has a viable option in terms of identifying qualified

noise professionals. PC 16 at 5. Dr. Schomer urges the Board to require that measurements of

noise emissions be supervised by an individual who is a “Member, Board Certified, of the

Institute of Noise Control Engineering of the USA” (Institute).

Id

. Dr. Schomer states that the

Institute is a non-profit technical society and certification requires education, several years

experience, passing a rigorous 8-hour exam, and periodic professional activities to maintain

certification.

Id

.

 

Dr. Schomer notes that as a lessor option, the Board could require that a member of the

Institute, who is also a full member of the Acoustical Society of America, supervise noise

emission measurements. PC 16 at 6. Dr. Schomer opines that with such a requirement the

individual supervising the measurements “has some working knowledge of the mathematics of

acoustics and of acoustical measurement.”

Id

.

 

In Bridgeview’s final comment, Dr. Schomer states that there is one way to correctly

perform measurements, but a multitude of ways to mess up measurements. PC 19 at 1. Dr.

Schomer argues that ANSI procedures must be followed using ANSI approved methods and

instrumentation.

Id

. Dr. Schomer opines that many measurement devices sold at stores are

worthless and best used for indoor measurements.

Id

.

 

 

Sound Measurement Procedures for Establishing Nuisance Noise Violation.

Dr.

Schomer states that standards exist so that within a reasonable degree of scientific certainty, two

people can perform the same measurements under identical conditions and get the similar results.

PC 16 at 4. Dr. Schomer asserts that unless standards are followed, the Board has no valid

scientific method by which to assess the accuracy of data submitted to the Board. PC 16 at 4-5.

---

 

8

Dr. Schomer opines that the Board should use this rulemaking to make the standards for accurate

measurements clear for both numeric and nuisance cases. PC 16 at 5.

 

 

Efficacy of the Rules.

Dr. Schomer argues that allowing a lay person to make hand held

A-weighted measurements does a disservice to the rules and to the noise receiver. PC 16 at 3.

Dr. Schomer states that there is a trade-off between the complexity of the rules and the efficacy

of the regulations.

Id

. Dr. Schomer notes that the Illinois rules are more complex than in many

states, but as a result, Illinois’ rules are more useful and protective.

Id

. Dr. Schomer asserts that

because measurements made with simple, hand-held A-weighted instruments fail to address the

spectrum of octaves covered under Illinois regulations, the measurements give a misleading

picture of the noise emissions. PC 16 at 4. Dr. Schomer opines that to the extent the Board

allows such evidence to be admitted in a nuisance noise case, the entire decision making process

may be tainted by misleading information.

Id

.

 

Dr. Schomer, in his comment filed for Bridgeview, asserts that poor instruments may not

detect many valid nuisance noise instances. PC 19 at 2. The instruments that do not measure

individual octave bands may result in missing noise at a low frequency, according to Dr.

Schomer.

Id

. Dr. Schomer argues that the octave band nature of the Board’s rules is a positive

factor and should not be “squandered” by substituting A-weighted measurements of questionable

validity.

Id

.

 

 

Nuisance Noise Cases.

Bridgeview argues the Board should take the opportunity in

these rules to establish that in a nuisance complaint valid noise measurements must be used. PC

18 at 1. Bridgeview states that if noise measurements are taken in a nuisance case, the

measurements should be taken as directed in Part 910.

Id

. Bridgeview maintains that to do

otherwise is misleading to the complainant, prejudicial to the Board’s decisions, and

fundamentally unfair and costly to respondents.

Id

.

 

Bridgeview argues that admitting noise emissions measurements taken by a lay person

other than pursuant to the requirements of Part 910 is contrary to the Board’s responsibility for

admitting scientific evidence based on Daubert v. Merrell Dow Pharmaceuticals, Inc., 501 U.S.

579 (1993). PC 18 at 2. Bridgeview asserts that the Board recognizes the legal principal

articulated in Daubert but retreats froM the sound science approach in nuisance cases.

Id

.

Bridgeview opines that allowing “quick and dirty” sound measurements to be used in nuisance

cases, the Board is encouraging frivolous lawsuits.

Id

. Bridgeview further argues that the Board

appears to be shifting the burden of proof by requiring the respondent to expose problems with

the measurements. PC 18 at 3.

 

DISCUSSION

 

During the first-notice period, the comments and testimony received by the Board

reiterated issues raised prior to the Board proceeding to first notice in March 2005. The issues

are: (1) whether blasting operations by aggregate producers and surface coal mines should be

governed by rules adopted by the Board or should the Board defer to IDNR’s regulations; and (2)

whether the Board should require that noise measurements taken for presentation in a nuisance

---

 

9

noise enforcement case should be taken pursuant to 35 Ill. Adm. Code 910. The Board will

address these issues below.

 

Applicability of Noise Rules to Aggregate Producers and Surface Coal Mines

 

At first notice, the Board did make changes to the rule in response to IAAP’s comments.

After consideration of the testimony and comments from IAAP and IDNR during the first-notice

comment period, the Board is convinced that additional changes to the rule are warranted.

 

The testimony of IAAP and IDNR clearly demonstrates that IDNR has an extensive

regulatory program in place that regulates the noise from blasting at facilities operated by

aggregate producers and surface coal mines. Further, IDNR has an active staff that regularly

oversees blasting and monitoring of the blasting at sites in Illinois. IDNR also has stringent

enforcement tools for any violation of the regulations when blasting. Therefore, the Board finds

that the Board can appropriately defer the regulation of noise emissions from blasting at

aggregate and surface coal mines to IDNR. The Board will make changes to the rule under

Sections 901.107 and 901.109 to reflect that deference.

 

The Board notes that IAAP’s testimony indicates that IAAP only asks the Board to defer

to IDNR for blasting at the aggregate producers sites in Illinois. All other operations, such as

back up beepers, ingress and egress, and daily production noise emission should be subject to the

Board rules according to IAAP. In light of this, the Board limits the scope of the proposed

exemption to only to impulsive sound produced by explosive blasting activities, which are

regulated by IDNR in accordance with Section 6.5 and Section 3.13 of the Surface Coal Mining

Land Conservation and Reclamation Act (225 ILCS 715/6.5 and 3.13 (2004)).

 

Applicability of Part 910 to Nuisance Noise Enforcement Cases

 

The Board has long held in that noise measurements may be used to substantiate or refute

a nuisance noise claim.

See

Discovery South Group v. PCB, 275 Ill. App. 3d 547, 549, 656

N.E.2d 51, 59 (1st Dist. 1995); Charter Hall Home Owners Association v. Overland

Transportation System PCB 98-81 (Oct. 1, 1998); Pawlowski v. Benchwarmers Pub, PCB 99-82

(Apr. 6, 2000); Gladys Knox and David Knox v. Turris Coal Company and AEI Resources, Inc.,

PCB 00-140 (Jan. 9, 2003). In the Board’s first-notice opinion and order, the Board stated:

 

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

---

 

10

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.

Proposed New and Updated Rules for Measurement and Numerical Sound

Emissions Standards; Amendments to 35 Ill. Adm. Code 901 and 910, R03-9,

(Mar. 17, 2005).

 

The Board also discussed, at first notice, the request that noise measurements be

supervised by an individual who is certified. The Board stated:

 

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. Proposed New and Updated Rules for Measurement and

Numerical Sound Emissions Standards; Amendments to 35 Ill. Adm. Code 901

and 910, R03-9, (Mar. 17, 2005).

 

The Board has carefully reviewed the arguments and concerns expressed by Bridgeview

and Dr. Schomer. However, the Board is unconvinced that a change to the rule is necessary.

First, as to the suggestion that the Board require compliance with Part 910 for measurement of

noise emissions in a nuisance noise enforcement, the Board does not believe that change is

necessary. If a complainant complies with the requirements of Part 910 when alleging a

violation, then such a violation would be of the numeric standards and not a nuisance violation.

The Board has long heard testimony in nuisance noise enforcement cases concerning the use of

noise measurements. The Board examines that testimony and the measurements in light of the

entirety of the evidence and renders a decision as to whether the noise unreasonablY interferes

with the enjoyment of life.

See e.g.

, Zivoli v. Somebody’s Bar and Restaurant, PCB 90-200

(May 21, 1992). Therefore, the Board declines to make a change to the rule.

 

regarding the qualifications of individual supervising the measurement of emissions, the

Board is not persuaded that requiring certification by the Institute is appropriate. The Board will

continue to review the noise emission measurements on a case-by-case basis and make

determination based on the evidence provided.

 

The Board finds that the extensive record in this proceeding supports proceeding to

second notice with these noise regulations. The Board further finds that the rules are technically

feasible and economically reasonable. Therefore the Board will proceed to second notice.

 

CONCLUSION

 

The Board today adopts for second notice regulations concerning measurement of and

standards for noise emissions in Illinois. The Board defers regulation of blasting operations at

aggregate and surface coal mines to IDNR, who has an extensive regulatory scheme in place.

The Board declines to alter the Board’s longstanding position on noise emission measurements

in nuisance noise enforcement cases and to require measurements be supervised by a certified

individual. The Board sends this proceeding to the Joint Committee on Administrative Review

for second notice consideration.
