Noise Hazard Assessment of the Enclosed Primary Cooling Tower System at Cheyenne Mountain Air Force Station, Colorado

Abstract

A comprehensive site assessment was conducted by USAFOEHL personnel to measure and evaluate noise levels and provide appropriate recommendations with respect to the noise induced whole body and auditory inside the Cooling Tower Platform Chamber and the Primary Air Exhaust Tunnel at Cheyenne Mountain Air Force Station, Colorado. The survey was performed between 21-22 March 1988 to determine the health effects of noise on personnel at locations serviced by the 1010 CES/DEMME, Hydraulics Shop. Survey measurements and data analysis results of four selected locations are reported. To provide a comprehensive assessment of the site, survey results are compared to applicable standards. Finally, exposure control alternatives and recommendations are made with respect to noise exposure. Exposure control measures and recommendations are-made to prevent hearing loss based on the assumption of exposure to the worst measured noise levels. The whole body effects limit was not exceeded.
