A. General. It shall be the responsibility of the operator and/or the proprietor of any
permitted use to provide such reasonable evidence and technical data as the enforcing
officer may require to demonstrate that the use or activity is or will be in compliance with
the performance standards of this Title. Failure of the enforcing officer to require such
information shall not be construed as relieving the operator and/or the proprietor from
compliance with the Environmental Performance Standards of this Ordinance.

B. Noise.

1. The maximum allowable noise levels as measured at the property line of noise
impacted uses or activities shall be those set forth in the Washington Administrative
Code, Chapter 173-60, titled "Maximum Environmental Noise Levels," which chapter
is hereby incorporated by reference, except as otherwise provided herein.

2. The "Environmental Designation for Noise Abatement" (EDNA) for the several land
use classifications of this Ordinance shall be as follows:

All living areas (single-family, multifamily, etc.): A

Medical service and professional office/residential multi: A

All other commercial areas: B

Light industrial, industrial: C

3. Noise levels of any sound source, when measured in the manner and locations prescribed
in (WAC 173-60) shall not exceed the values shown in Table N.

C. Emissions.

1. Air Pollution shall be controlled by the operator and/or proprietor of any land use or
activity permitted by this title. The ambient air quality standards specified in
Regulation I of the Olympic Air Pollution Control Agency (OAPCA), shall apply to all
air contaminants listed therein. See Chapter 173-60 regarding variances and
exemptions.

2. Toxic Substances shall be kept to concentrations not exceeding one-fiftieth (1/50) of

interior standards by use of the best available control methods and technology in all
phases of plant operation and handling of materials, and by an active commitment to
good housekeeping practices. Toxic substances not listed in Regulation I of OAPCA,
but released into the air shall be limited in accordance with the most current publication
entitled Threshold Limit Values, of the American Conference of Governmental
Hygienists.

3. Liquid Wastes shall be disposed of through local sanitary sewer systems only upon
approval of affected sewer district authorities.

4. Liquid or solid wastes unacceptable to public sewer authorities shall be disposed of

on a regular basis in keeping with the best operating characteristics of the industry, and
 ATTACHMENT 1

in compliance with the regulations and requirements of local, regional, state or federal
agencies having jurisdiction in waste disposal and environmental health and safety.

5. Any operation producing intense heat or glare shall be performed within an

enclosure so as to completely obscure such operation from view from any point along
the property line.

6. The use, storage, transportation and disposal of all radioactive materials or

devices shall be subject to the regulatory jurisdiction and control of the Radiation
Control Agency of the Washington State Department of Social and Health Services as
amended.

7. No use shall cause earth vibrations or concussions detectable without the aid of
instruments beyond its lot lines, with the exception of the temporary vibration produced
as a result of construction activity. Such temporary construction activity shall be
restricted to the hours between 7:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m.

D. Ground and Soil Contamination. Materials used or produced in any manufacturing

process shall be handled in such a manner as to prevent ground or soil pollution which
destroys or endangers the support of natural vegetation or which may contaminate
underground aquifers, or other natural drainage systems.

E. Noise Attenuation. All residential and office buildings within three hundred (300) feet of
an Industrial or Light Industrial-Commercial zone must use noise attenuation construction
or buffering techniques for the benefit of the occupants of the buildings so that state noise
standards are met (i.e., interior ambient noise levels shall not exceed forty-five (45) dba
during the hours of 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m., and thirty-five (35) dba from 10:00 p.m. to
7:00 a.m., assuming open windows for ventilation.)
