Measurement intervals of 1-10 minutes, July 29, 1999 between 7:00 and 8:00 a.m.
Batiquitos
Sensitive Receptors
The proposed receiver site would be located south of Batiquitos Lagoon, with the northern part in
Carlsbad, and the southern part in Leucadia (City of Encinitas). The northern part includes Ponto
Beach, a popular recreation area. There are no sensitive noise receptors near the northern or central
part of the receiver site. The closest receptors are residences on the bluffs approximately 60 to 80
feet above. The east sides of these homes face Parliament Road. There is a restaurant, with access
from Coast Highway, overlooking Ponto Beach.
Noise Levels
No measurements were taken at the Batiquitos receiver site because noise levels at the homes above
the south end of the site would be anticipated to be similar to those at the Leucadia site. Those noise
levels range from 63 to 66 dBA, Leq.
