With the creation and optimization of a decontamination plan of noise in the urban area of ​​Maicao, it meets environmental planners aspects of SINA, quantified and evaluated emission sound pressure generated by machinery, stereos and car traffic; to establish whether the results are consistent with the maximum permissible levels of the Colombian regulations

The Environmental Quality Branch Corpoguajira considering noise as an important risk factor for environmental pollution and impact on human health, not only by the direct effects but also extra-auditory effects, and aware of the results of measurements, complaints, claims and studies related to the acoustic quality of the municipality proceeded to implement actions to help mitigate this type of pollution in the town of Maicao.

La company RAS Ltda, Contractor Corporation, is developing activities coordinated and logical way to attack the scourge of noise, both plaguing our municipal urban environments.

Due to the highly subjective component noise perception, physical measurements of noise pollution, offer partial images of the seriousness of the problem. One of the most reliable indicators of the problem is, therefore, public opinion and official complaints about noise nuisance, providing a useful measure of the extent of the problem.

Technical progress, proliferation transport, overcrowding, cultural habits and urban growth in many cases lacking proper planning are inter alia, some of the factors that have contributed greatly to the acoustic environmental degradation and deterioration of relations between people and their environment.

Corpoguajira, as environmental authority, must study and noise maps and Decontamination Plans Noise, in accordance with the provisions of the Resolutions of the Ministry of Environment, Housing and Territorial Development (MAVDT) 627 of 2006 and 651 of 2010, and report this information to SISAIRE for public consultation, at intervals not exceeding the provisions of the resolution as an environmental entity to which it is necessary to understand and analyze the noise of cities, critical areas to take corrective action, preventive and monitoring to enable it to secure a hearing health to the people.

Therefore, with the creation and optimization of a decontamination plan noise in the urban area of ​​Maicao, it meets environmental planners aspects of SINA, in turn are quantified and evaluated emission sound pressure generated by machinery, stereos and car traffic etc., in that municipality and whether the results are consistent with the maximum permissible levels of the Colombian regulations and the degree of involvement they are exposed to the inhabitants of the municipality and take some action if the case. Furthermore, these results serve to reinforce basic statistics at national and level inputs or tools for the MAVDT, can regulate and adjust the medium term normative values ​​if its necessary, established in Resolution 627 of 2006 and to comply with the requirements of that regulation in the development of noise maps.

With the development of these activities CORPOGUAJIRA submitted to the municipality of Maicao and the country the following results:

a. Noise levels in different sectors of the village adopted by the Land Use Plan of the town of Maicao (Residential, Industrial, Commercial and Institutional).

b. The sampled, activities and sources of noise.

c. Noise maps, with the aid of a geographical information system, for the urban area population, attending the different periods teaches regulations.

d. Regulatory measures that promote the reduction of noise pollution and compliance with the standard.

and. Identification and assessment of environmental noise in the urban area of ​​the town of Maicao

f. Ambient noise levels in terms of Maximum levels, Minimum, Equivalent and Percentiles (L90 and L10) in points or sites previously established with the environmental authority.

g. Analysis of results to establish the background noise and noise performance of the noise sources in the town.

h. Comparison of the levels obtained in the field measurements with the guidelines established by Decree 948 of 1995 MAVDT on Emission Standard Environmental Noise and the existing rules established by Resolution 627del 07 April 2006 of MAVDT, establishing rules on the protection and hearing conservation dictate, health and welfare of people, because of the production and emission of noise.

i. Technical report with calculations, calibration sheet of the equipment used, compare the results obtained with the provisions of environmental legislation, A summary description of the project, Overview of the noise sources and their location within the perimeter monitoring and geographical coordinates, weather (Wind direction and speed, rain, temperature, air pressure, humidity), Description of work (procedures and methodology), final report containing findings and recommendations of the study shed and possible mitigation of environmental impact.

j. Consolidated organized and strategic programs and projects to the decontamination of noise where specified criteria, points, measurement times, indicators and impact that permit a control system by the environmental authority.

The results of these activities are expected to be delivered in December 2011.
