For the purposes of meeting this goal, noise levels not <br /> exceeding a day-night average of 65 dB are considered acceptable. Noise levels over 65 dB may require <br /> special approvals, environmental review, and attenuation; noise levels below 65 dB do not require these. <br /> HUD's manual determination of noise levels will be conducted (no on-site noise monitoring will be conducted). <br /> Public Involvement: It is assumed that the City of San Marcos staff will handle any public notice of document <br /> availability for review or any public meeting requirements. <br /> Other services not included or available for additional scope and fee: <br /> Clean Water Act Section 404 permitting or direct coordination with USACE <br /> Noise barrier analysis <br /> Air quality modeling <br /> Geologic Assessment <br /> Expert witness services <br /> Mitigation planning <br /> Construction phase monitoring or services <br /> Full Phase 1 or Phase 2 Environmental Site Assessment for Hazardous Materials <br /> Freese and Nichols.
