Vibration <br /> MAXIMUM PERMITTED GROUND TRANSMITTED VIBRATION <br /> Maximum Particle Velocity for <br /> Generating Land Use Category <br /> Receiving Land Use Category ( lnches /'Secand ) <br /> hesidential development of all types CaC2 <br /> Nonrezidential development of all types o . io <br /> Footnotes ; <br /> 1 / The vibration levels set forth in the table above are Stated in terms of particle <br /> velocity which may be measured directly with suitable instrumentation or <br /> computed on the basis of displacement frequency . When computed , the <br /> following formula must be used : <br /> P , V . = s .2E x F x D where P . V , = Particle velocity ( inches /second ) <br /> F = Vibratian frequency ( cycles /second ) <br /> D = Single amplitude displacement of the <br /> vibration ( inches ) <br /> The instrument used to measure vibrations must be a three component measuring <br /> system capable of simultaneous measurement of vibration in three mutually <br /> perpandiculw directions . The maximum velocity \v be the sum of the three <br /> components recorded . <br /> 2J The values Stated in the above table may be multiplied by two ( 2 ) for impact <br /> vibrations , e . g . , discrete vibration pulsations not exceeding one ( 1 ) Second <br /> between pulses . <br /> 31 Vibrations resulting from construction or other temporary activities which occur <br /> between the hours of 7 .000 a .m . and 7 : 00 p .m . are exempt from the standards <br /> listed in the tables <br /> Air pollution <br /> For the purpose of these Economic Development District <br /> performance standards , each permitted use , special use , and <br /> accessory use is required to comply with all applicable rules <br /> and standards concerning air pollution as adopted by the N . C . <br /> Environmental Management Commission . Each comprehensive site <br /> development plan must be accompanied by either : <br /> - A written determination from the staff of the <br /> Environmental Management Commission that an air quality <br /> permit is not required ; <br /> OR <br /> dIMIN If an air quality permit is required , a complete copy of <br /> the permit , including all conditions for reporting and <br /> monitoring . <br />
