conducting this evaluation shall meet the American National Standard
Institute's standard for sound meters or an instrument and the
associated recording and analyzing equipment which will provide equivalent
data.
B.
The operator shall maintain documentation of this seventy-two-hour
evaluation at its offices. This documentation shall be made available
to the Township's Zoning Officer within three business days upon
request.
C.
The noise generated during development, when measured at the
nearest protected structure (as measured to the closest exterior point
of the building), whichever is closer to the protected structure,
shall not exceed the average ambient noise level. (as determined by
the seventy-two-hour evaluation):
