lumber company plans Noise pollution les become a catchword these days when the public is particularly environmental conscious. It became .a factor when the county planning commission a use permit for Yuba River Lumber Company to add a planing mill to its Bear River Sawmill on LaBarr Meadows Road. The planning departmentwas instructed to study the noise involved prior to the commission’s decision. ‘Assistant Planning ‘Director Steve Ross, assisted by Pat Norman, a staffer, conducted a detailed survey of sound at the Brunswick Lumber Mill where a planer mill is in operation; and at the Bear River site where installation of a planer was proposed. Prior to the public hearing Ross, in efforts to help commissioners with deliberations, gave a brief explanation of sound and sound measurements. He reported: . “Basically, sound is merely the rapid vibration in atic pressure caused by a mospheri vibrating object. A tuning fork, when struck, vibrates and causes the air particles around it to vibrate. Your hearing mechanism then translates the . vibrations into the sensation we call sound. ; “The loudness you attribute to a sound is dependent on sound pressure. The stronger the pressure, the greater the loudness. The loudness of a sound is referred to as sound level. Sound level is usually measured with a sound-level meter and indicated in decibels (dB). Something ought to be made clear about the decibel. Because of its logarithmic nature, it doesn’t add and subtract the way apples or: oranges do. If you take a 60M.
