NPC-300 brings major changes to Ontario’s environmental noise guidelines
On October 21, 2013, the Ontario Ministry of the Environment (“MOE”) released for use its long awaited and much anticipated new noise criteria guideline, Publication NPC-300, “Environmental Noise Guideline – Stationary and Transportation Noise Sources – Approval and Planning.” As noted by the MOE on the Environmental Registry, NPC 300 replaces four now-superseded guidelines: NPC-205, NPC-232, LU-131 and “Noise Assessment Criteria in Land Use Planning: Requirements, Procedures and Implementation.”
Proposed Changes to Ontario Noise Guidelines: NPC-300
On November 16, 2010, the Ontario Ministry of the Environment (“MOE”) posted a draft of its updated noise criteria guideline, Publication NPC-300. Once approved, NPC-300 will replace the three current guidelines: NPC-205, NPC-232, and LU-131 and will form the basis for assessing noise from all traffic and stationary sources in Ontario.
