Title: Noise limitations
Text: "In selecting a site for a compressor facility, a well pad or other permanent facility, the distance from the edge of an occupied greater sage-grouse lek would be sufficient to result in a noise level increase from operating facilities no greater than 10 decibels (dBA) above background (i.e., 39 dBA background + 10 dBA = 49 dBA)."
