your houses out there. You had nail guns going off You dropped a two-by-four on a flat piece <br />of cement. The decibels went way over 65 when you did that. You had trucks bringing in your <br />equipment, your material, down that same road. Again, I understand the situation. I would think <br />that the Commission does, too. When the plant is up and running, I believe I heard in some of <br />the meetings prior to this that they will put onsite instruments to maintain and regulate and <br />monitor noise. So, when it's up and running, I believe they will maintain what they promised to <br />do. I would think that you guys should vote this thing in whatever direction is to kill it. Thank <br />you. <br />CLARKSON: Do any of the Commissioners have any questions for any of these testifiers? <br />IKEDA: Chair, I have a question. <br />CLARKSON: Okay. <br />IKEDA: Mr. Martin? <br />MARTIN: Yes, sir. <br />IKEDA: Do you think that, you know, they agreed to not put on the Jake brakes, you know, it's <br />how easy that—can they stop that? I know a jake brake slow your car down because used to <br />own a business and we used jake brakes. <br />MARTIN: There's actually new techniques that trucks have. There is no sound. Jacob brakes <br />are not obsolete yet. They're still one of the better ways. What it does is it puts exhaust pressure <br />back in the cylinder, make an engine turn slow <br />IKEDA: I know <br />MARTIN: Yeah, okay, so <br />IKEDA: I used to own tractors, so I know, and the drivers like it because it makes a bup-bup- <br />bup sound. <br />MARTIN: Exactly. And there are ways of mitigating that also. <br />IKEDA: Right, so this is one of the things that they can get by downshifting which, you know, I <br />also know that can happen. <br />MARTIN: Yeah, I think there's different techniques of driving. <br />IKEDA: That's right. <br />MARTIN: Different implementations on different types of equipment that would mitigate that <br />sound. <br />EXHIBIT D <br />17 <br />
