On April 16, 2015, in Proposal of Clifford-Jacobs Forging Co. for an Amendment to the Site-Specific Rule at 35 Ill. Adm. Code 901-119, R14-22, the Board proposed amendments to a site-specific noise rule for first-notice publication in the Illinois Register. The proposed amendments would extend the allowable operational levels for Clifford-Jacobs Forging Company’s (Clifford-Jacobs) forging facility located in unincorporated Champaign County. The facility currently is allowed to operate up to all 14 of its forging hammers at any one time from 6:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m., Monday through Saturday. Clifford-Jacobs’ proposed amendments would allow the facility to operate up to 14 hammers at any one time 24 hours a day, Monday through Saturday. At first notice, the Board adopted this proposal, but added a requirement that Clifford-Jacobs limit its forging operations as necessary so that sound emissions from the facility would not exceed 65 decibels (db) (A-weighted Leq) from 11 p.m. to 6 a.m.
