Subject: Change of Zone Condition F, "Comply with Applicable Depaztment of Health
Noise and Emission Control;' for Hawaii Electric Light Company, Inc.'s
(HELCO's) Puna Generating Staiion, TMK 1-06-03:93
Dear Ms. Goldstein:
Condition F of Ordinance 99-53 which rezoned HELCO's Puna Generating Station,
TMK 1-06-03:93, states:
The applicant shall comply with applicable Department of Health regulations for noise
and emission control.
Hawaii Administrative Rule (HAR), Title 11, Chapter 46 Community Noise Control, was adopted
by the State Department of Health (DOH) in September 1996. The DOH noise regulations are
expressed in maximum permissible sound levels within areas zoned preservation/residential,
apartment/commercial, and agricultural/industrial. Since the HELCO Puna Generating Sta-
tion's site is zoned industrial and the adjoining sites have agricultural zoning designations, the
applicable DOH noise standards are 70 dBA for both the daytime and nighttime periods.
As substantiated by the following information, HELCO's Puna Generating Station has com-
pliedwith applicable Department of Health requirements related to noise, and has satisfied
change of zone condition F of Ordinance 99-53:
1. The Puna Generating Station has not been cited for any violation of HAR 116, Community
Noise Control, nor has it had any noise related complaints.
2. In June 1999, HELCO conducted noise measurements at the Puna Generating Station. The
noise measurements indicated that the Generating Station is not exceeding the 70-dBA noise
level at any point along the station's property line. Based on the aforementioned noise
measurements, HELCO is currently complying with the noise and emission standards set
forth in HAR, Title 11, Chapter 46.
Should you have any questions concerning this letter, please call me at (808) 943-7135,
extension 218.
