PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, Puget Sound Energy on behalf of EVGo Services LLC, is requesting
an administrative noise variance from RMC 8-7-2 (Noise Level Regulations, Maximum Environmental Noise Levels) in
order to install EV charging equipment at 4601 Sunset Blvd NE. The applicant is proposing to install approximately 720
feet of new electrical cabling, a new a transformer, and switching circuits as part of the project. The applicant is
proposing the work at night in order to limit disruptions to nearby businesses which may experience an outage during
construction. The proposed night time work is scheduled to take place on October 6th and 7th from 10:00pm to 5:00
am. An alternate work window may be required to complete the night work.
Noise levels resulting from project construction activities are expected to generate peak noise levels of 84 to 85 dBA as
perceived at 50 feet from the source of the noise. These sound levels are expected to diminish from the source of the
noise. A variance from RMC 8-7-2 is necessary in order to conduct the night time 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 pm to 7:00 am 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 gas-powered equipment, vehicles, and a Sawzall. Hand tools would be used when possible.
