Rainbow Valley Water Reclamation Facility - Noise Monitoring
Goodyear, AZ
Client
Felix Construction Company
Industry
Noise Monitoring
Scope of Work
MD Acoustics was hired to provide environmental noise survey services for the Rainbow Valley Water Reclamation Facility in Goodyear, Arizona. The study focused on evaluating operational noise generated by on-site equipment, including blowers and centrifuges, and determining compliance with the City’s 50 dBA noise limit at the facility boundary.
MD Acoustics conducted a field noise survey using calibrated Type 1 sound level meters, measuring sound levels at both noise source locations and the site boundary in accordance with City requirements. Measured noise levels were compared directly to the applicable regulatory threshold, and findings were documented in a comprehensive field noise survey report. Where required, MD Acoustics also provided optional noise modeling and predictive analysis to evaluate mitigation strategies and support future compliance planning.
Outcome
The noise survey provided the City and project team with clear, defensible documentation of facility noise levels relative to the applicable 50 dBA requirement. The results established a reliable baseline for evaluating compliance and understanding the acoustic contribution of key mechanical equipment.
Where additional evaluation was warranted, MD Acoustics’ predictive noise modeling and mitigation analysis offered practical, cost-effective sound control options to reduce noise at the facility boundary. The study equipped stakeholders with actionable data and mitigation pathways, supporting informed decision-making and long-term regulatory compliance.
