Are You In Compliance?
Some of the most common disturbances of quiet country life are the operations of the oil and natural gas industry. Noise associated with such operations can originate from compressor stations, processing plants, oil batteries, drilling and service operations or other related activities.
Noise control regulators may investigate and can require the operator to carry out a course of action that could include a comprehensive sound monitoring study. The object of such a study is to find out if the Comprehensive Sound Level is greater or less than the Permissible Sound Level (PSL). If the PSL is exceeded, steps to reduce noise impacts will usually be required.
