NOISE CONTROL IN SACRAMENTO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA

In 1976 the Sacramento County Board of Supervisors recognized the need for a noise-control program by approving local ordinances and providing funds for two persons to implement a noise-control program. This team spends most of their time in enforcement (60 percent) and land use (40 percent) activities. Details of the ordinances and the noise standards are presented. The major noise problems in the county involve transportation (highways, airports, trains, and waterways) and general complaints about loud noises (neighbors, radios, dogs, fixed mechanical sources, and so forth). Each transportation problem and the various state and federal laws that are involved are discussed. A case study is presented along with a solution to a problem of using a football stadium for rock concerts to satisfy the audience, adjacent residents, and promotors.
