A filled-in Construction Noise Mitigation Plan (Rev 02/2024) example: a builder fills out the plan

Construction Noise Mitigation Plan (Rev 02/2024) example filled out, example: a builder fills out the plan
Sample Builders LLC, the responsible party, fills out the noise mitigation plan. Nothing goes in the phase boxes because no work happens outside 7am to 6pm Monday to Friday. The picture shows page 1 only, and every value in it is made up. Distance of Receptor and Number of stories are left blank because no receptor is measured. Cranes are used in Foundation, so the Cranes and Foundation boxes are checked, with the Modern Hydraulic Crane detail box. Barriers are not required, so the barrier answer is NO. A backhoe is used, so the Backhoe box is checked, and the Responsible Party checks the certification box. The exterior is completed before interior work begins, so the completed exterior box is checked and the interior work before exterior walls box stays empty.
