Evaluating noise and vibration impacts under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) is a critical step for a wide range of capital projects across California – from urban infill developments to industrial, infrastructure, and public works projects. Whether you’re with a city or county agency, managing facilities such as landfills, wastewater treatment plants, or manufacturing sites, or supporting private development, understanding CEQA noise and vibration requirements is essential to ensuring compliance and defensibility in environmental documentation.
This complimentary 1-hour webinar will provide a practical introduction to CEQA noise and vibration analyses, including an overview of common techniques used to assess both construction and operational impacts. Topics will include screening analyses, refined modeling approaches, analysis against state and local noise thresholds, and effective mitigation strategies. The session will also cover how noise and vibration issues are addressed in CEQA documents—including Initial Studies, Negative Declarations (NDs), Mitigated Negative Declarations (MNDs), and Environmental Impact Reports (EIRs). Real-world case examples from Yorke Engineering will illustrate how these analyses are applied across a variety of project types.
