The Noise Management Procedure (the Procedure) specifies how CDB Melchorita (CONTRACTOR) will
manage ambient noise generated during construction activities for the Peru LNG Export Project (the
Project). The procedure takes into account statements from the Compliance Monitoring ESIP but
specifies actions to be taken with more detail. Occupational noise management is addressed in the
Health and Safety Plan (F12254-CDB-W01-HSE-PLA-000100)
This Procedure covers noise management for activities related to the Marine Facilities, Quarry and
Quarry Haul Road. This Procedure applies to CONTRACTOR and subcontractors.
For all Quarry activities, the Quarry Plan (F12254-CDB-W13-HSE-PLA-00125) should be reviewed and
implemented in conjunction with this Procedure. Similarly, additional noise management requirements
for Dredging activities are described in the Dredging Plan (F12254-CDB-W16-HSE-PLA-00147).

4. ACTIVITIES DESCRIPTION
CONTRACTOR has the responsibility for noise management with respect to the construction
phase of the Project as it relates to the Marine Facility, Quarry and associated Quarry Haul Road.
Therefore, CONTRACTOR is responsible for complying with the policy and legislative

Role Responsibility
• Communicate incidents/accidents to HSES Manager
• Maintain incident/accident reports
• Ensure adequate handling of medical wastes
• Maintain medical records
• Draft and submit medical report to HSES Manager
• Perform hearing evaluations to personnel, specially to those exposed to
noise generated by Works activities
• Undertake 3 rounds of noise monitoring
Monitoring
• Carry out training to CDB team in order to undertake subsequent

monitoring after 3 rounds
Ambient noise monitoring will be conducted at the beginning of construction activities and when
factors modifying the normal conditions have been introduced (start of new activities, operation of
new machinery, etc.). Noise monitoring stations selected will be those used during the
environmental baseline studies. Noise monitoring will be carried out using a sound level meter
mounted on a tripod at a height of 1.2 meters above the ground surface. The weighted decibels
(dBA) will be recorded continually during a period of one hour per monitoring station. The speed
and direction of the wind and the temperature, as well as, detailed field notes and the sources of
background noise will be recorded during each sampling period. A windscreen will be utilized to
attenuate for wind effects on the microphone.
Monitoring location criteria will take into account those used during baseline studies, however
other locations may be required and baseline locations changed upon agreement with Owner as
required.
The use of mufflers in vehicle exhausts, machinery and heavy equipment is required.
Maintenance will be carried out on all silencer systems, when required, to ensure correct
operation.
If ambient noise levels exceed the Project governing standards (see Table 1) and are specifically
related to project activities, CONTRACTOR will implement appropriate corrective actions.
Both environmental and occupational noise monitoring will be conducted during the construction
phase. Ambient noise will be measured within the Marine Facilities area, at the nearest receptors
located outside the project boundary, Quarry and Quarry Haul Road. Appendix I provides noise
monitoring summary tables with locations (table 1), parameters and methods (table 2), and
standards (table 3). For more details, see Procedure B provided in Appendix J from Compliance
Monitoring ESIP (F12254-CDB-W01-HSE-PLA-00102).
4.3.1 Monitoring
CONTRACTOR will perform the required noise monitoring as described in the
Compliance Monitoring ESIP (F12254-CDB-W01-HSE-PLA-00102).
A qualified approved subcontractor shall undertake monitoring and shall train Contractor
staff. After 3 rounds of monitoring, trained, competent Contractor staff shall undertake the
monitoring.
A Class 1 sound meter will be used under the slow response mode to obtain the integral
of the noise pressure levels of A-weighting and frequency data of 1/3 octave.
The device will be programmed to measure levels equivalent (LEQ) to intervals of 1 hour
during a complete 24-hour period measuring per site, providing a total of 24 records by
site.
24 hour monitoring has been considered. It is feasible just if security and safety can be
ensured at monitoring locations. If monitoring needs to be modified it would be
coordinated previously with the owner.
The equipment is protected and secure with personnel especially in charge of noise
measurements.
The sound meter will consist of the following components:
1. Equipment for Continuous Noise Measurement
a. Delta Ohm, model HD 9019 Integrating Type I Sound Level Meter
b. HD 9019S/1, Class 1 Microphone Preamplifier
c. MK221 Model Condenser Microphone
d. Windscreen, tripod and various cables
When employees are subjected to sound levels exceeding those listed in table 2, CDB
will ensure proper engineering controls are reviewed and implemented where feasible. If
such controls fail to reduce sound levels to within the levels of table 2, appropriate
warning and instruction signs will be placed in the appropriate locations, hearing
protection equipment will be provided by the CONTRACTOR and used by their

4.3.1.1 Quarry
Ambient noise levels will be monitored at the Quarry and Quarry Haul Road. For noise
monitoring details, see Compliance Monitoring ESIP (F12254-CDB-W01-HSE-PLA-
00102).
4.3.2 Inspections
Noise level monitoring will perform a schedule for testing each of the locations, both day
and night, will be developed and followed. See frequency requirements in Compliance
Monitoring ESIP (F12254-CDB-W01-HSE-PLA-00102).
In the event that an inspection indicates non-compliance with Project governing
standards, the source of excess noise will be identified and temporarily removed from
service until repaired or retrofitted with noise attenuation measures. Appropriate
mitigation or corrective actions will be implemented.
All monitor records will be kept at the Project site and will be available for review by OWNER
and government entities. Monitoring will be documented using a standard noise monitoring form
to record individual monitoring point data and a construction site plots to indicate location of
monitoring activities.
For environmental noise use form attached in appendix A of this procedure, for occupational
noise use the form attached in appendix M of Inspections and monitoring procedure (F12254-
CDB-W01-HSE-PRO-00116)
