He further discussed the history of their <br />facility, employees, and production operations. He reviewed the conditions <br />recommended by staff. <br />Condition #2 — All exterior openings shall be closed when industrial <br />operations occur within a building during the prohibited periods. <br />No issues with complying with this condition. <br />Condition #3 — All vehicle back-up alarms shall be converted to a white -noise <br />style by June 30, 2023. <br />No issues with complying with this condition. They have already replaced several of <br />the loud beeping alarms and are working to find the best technology available. <br />OSHA requires the volume of the alarms to be above the ambient level by several <br />decibels. They have found a new technology that adjusts based on the ambient noise <br />around it. It's OSHA compliant and keeps the sound at a minimum. <br />Condition #4 — The applicant shall submit a dust control plan for the <br />operation prior to issuance of any building permits. <br />They will be implementing a more robust dust control plan this year but are currently <br />waiting for some information from their vendor. <br />Condition #5 — The applicant shall submit documentation demonstrating <br />compliance with state and federal wellhead protection standards. <br />A consultant has been hired to provide this documentation. <br />pIVEAEI a <br />NATURE <br />i1 <br />I <br />
