12 Minimizing Effects Noise: We will meet or exceed all applicable limits throughout operations; any necessary permits will be applied for A moderate increase in noise is anticipated during construction Traffic: During construction there will be an increase in traffic flow around the project area to move equipment, materials and manpower We will make efforts to minimize the increase in traffic After construction, there will be occasional traffic related to ongoing operations and maintenance Clean-up and Reclamation: Once construction has been completed, the land surface will be reclaimed to an equivalent land capability
