PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, Puget Sound Energy, is requesting an Administrative Noise Variance from RMC 8-7-2 (Noise Level Regulations, Maximum Environmental
Noise Levels) in order to provide service to a new medical building located at 4401 NE Sunset Blvd. The work would take place within the city's right-of-way. The applicant is proposing
the work at night to limit disruption to nearby businesses since this maintenance work would require power outages to several businesses. The work would take one (1) night to complete,
from 9:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. on a date anticipated to be within a month of permit issuance. Noise levels resulting from project construction activities are expected to generate peak noise
levels of 72 to 98 dBA. A variance from RMC 8-7-2 is necessary in order to conduct the nighttime work, as maximum permissible environmental noise levels (per WAC 173-60-040, incorporated
by reference in RMC 8-7) limit extended periods of noise from 10:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. to levels between 45 dBA and 60 dBA, with exceedances of 5 to 15 dBA permitted for periods of 1.5
to 15 minutes in any one-hour period (WAC 173-60-040). The pieces of equipment that are proposed to be utilized to complete the work include a one-ton truck, a bucket truck, and a vactor
truck.
