 The
Seattle Department of Design, Construction and Land Use(DCLU) has
received an application from Sound Transit for a technical variance from
the standards for nighttime construction noise along the north segment
of the light rail line. The segment
of
the light rail system covered by the application runs from the
Convention Center station to NE 45th Street east of I-5. This
application proposes specific new construction noise limits for six work
sites along the north segment.
Section
25.08.640 of the Seattle Noise Ordinance provides for technical
variances from noise standards when there is no practical means known or
available for the adequate prevention, abatement or control of the noise
involved. As a condition of granting the variance, DCLU may require
mitigation measures.
