PSEG West Orange Switching Substation West Orange NJ6524

Acoustical Evaluation of Station Upgrades PSE&G West Orange Switching Station, West Orange, NJ 5 June 2024 Page 13 CONCLUSION The proposed improvements at the existing West Orange Switching Station involve the installation of new switching equipment and systems. State noise code limits apply to site emissions. A survey of existing sound emissions indicated that site sound meets applicable code limits at select locations; acoustical model results of existing conditions confirm that applicable code limits are met at all receptors. The future condition of the site will have new, modern equipment and systems installed. During worst-case operations with all transformer cooling systems and HVAC equipment operating, emissions will meet all applicable residential nighttime and commercial code limits. Specifically, emissions at noise-sensitive vantage points will remain the same. This future analysis is conservative, and there will be an additional margin of compliance during typical nighttime operations since HVAC equipment operation is cyclical. No negative acoustical impacts are expected from this project, and PSE&G site noise will not be a nuisance to any nearby noise- sensitive properties.
