Eglinton Station – Deep Excavation Noise Mitigation Plan
• Operation controls will include:
• White noise/broadband back-up alarms on all trucks and equipment.
• Loading soil only into the trucks (no large debris or rocks that would
create banging noises).
• Avoiding shaking of the excavator buckets.
• Lowering the drop height so soil/debris falls closer to the truck bed.
• Securing tailgates on trucks to limit banging noise.
• Limiting acceleration of the trucks as they ingress/egress.
• Turning off truck engines while they wait or are staging.
• Crosslinx will offer, upon request, noise mitigation instruments for
residents in the immediate vicinity of the work including noise
dampening drapes, white noise machines, and noise-cancelling
headphones.
• Crosslinx will continuously monitor for improvements and endeavor to
minimize noise throughout the delivery period.7
