People interested in the ORV Noise Solutions Project,
In 2006, the state Legislature passed a bill directing the Office of the Interagency Committee (OIAC, a state agency) to review existing laws regulating ORV noise and provide recommendations on equipment for enforcement, model ordinances, education, and a grant program.
To assist with this effort, OIAC appointed an advisory committee and hired a consulting firm to undertake research on laws in Washington and other states affecting ORV noise, conduct public workshops, develop an on-line questionnaire, draft a model ordinance, and make recommendations.
ESA-Adolfson Associates and a subcontractor specializing in acoustics, Geomatrix Consultants, Inc., have now completed their work and OIAC would like your feedback on their final report.
- You may download a copy of the report by following this link http://iac.wa.gov/Documents/IAC/Grants/NOVA/orv_noise_solutions_proj.htm
- Or contact Amie Fowler at AmieF@iac.wa.gov (360-902-3086) for a hardcopy.
Please send us your feedback by 5 pm, January 2, 2007 after which time we will compile all comments for presentation to the 2007 Legislature along with the Adolphson/Geomatrix report.
For further information on the ORV Noise Solutions project, please feel free to contact me.
