14-5H-7: VIBRATION:

   A.   Vibrations from any operation or activity shall not exceed the displacement values below.

   B.   Vibration displacements shall be measured with an instrument capable of simultaneously measuring in three (3) mutually perpendicular directions. The maximum vector resultant shall be less than the vibration displacement permitted. The maximum displacements shall be determined by the following formula:

         D   =   K/f, where

      D   =   displacement in inches

      K   =   a constant given in table 5H-1 below

      f   =   the frequency of the vibration transmitted through the ground in cycles per second

Table 5H-1: Vibration Displacement Standards

 

Zone	Point Of Measurement	Continuous	Impulsive (At Least 1 Second Rest Between Pulses That Do Not Exceed 1 Second Duration)	Less Than 8 Pulses Per 24 Hour Period
All zones, except industrial	At lot lines	0.003	0.006	0.015
Industrial zones	At industrial zone boundary line	0.030	0.060	0.150
	At the boundary of residential zones, recreational areas, or educational facilities	0.003	0.006	0.015
