| Title: |
Minimize noise and light pollution in sensitive areas. |
| Text: |
"Light and Sound: Sensitive Areas: Minimize noise and light pollution in sensitive areas e.g. special status species habitat, developed camp grounds, and river corridors using best available technology such as installation of multi-cylinder pumps, hospital sound reducing mufflers, and placement of exhaust systems to direct noise away from the protection area/resource. Additionally, there would be a
requirement to reduce light pollution by using methods such as limiting height of light poles, timing of lighting operations (meaning limiting lighting to times of darkness associated with drilling and work over or maintenance operations), limiting wattage intensity, and constructing light shields." |
