Belvedere resident urges review of pump-station renovation over noise and visual impact
Summary
A resident warned council the pump-station renovation may produce 83-decibel generator noise and a large monorail structure, asked whether CEQA or BCDC review applies, and said a community meeting with Sanitation 5 is scheduled for the following day.
At the meeting's open forum, resident Kathy Rojas said neighborhood residents just learned this week about a sanitation pump-station renovation and raised questions over noise and visual impacts. She said the project's generator is rated at 83 decibels before enclosure and described an elevated monorail and large pad that she said would present an industrial appearance to nearby yards and the town entrance.
"Their generator will be at 83 decibels," Rojas said, and added that she did not know what the noise level would be with an enclosure. She asked whether agencies such as CEQA or the Bay Conservation and Development Commission might have jurisdiction because the site is within 100 feet of water. City staff said the project is on their radar and representatives from the city will attend the meeting with Sanitation 5 the next day to determine whether additional review is needed.
