accompanied by excessive noise, dust, dirt, smoke,
noxious gases, odor, vibration, glare, heat or explosives
sha11 not be permxtted. These residual features shall be
considered as excessive in the following cases:
A. NOISE. Noise shall be measured on any property

facility sha11 not exceed the values given in Table I
herein. The sound pressure level sha11 be measured
with a sound level meter and on an associated octave
band analyzer, both of which are manufactured according
to current specifications prescribed by the American
Standards Association. Measurement shall be made
using the flat network of the sound level meter.
