Extractions: 954-731-7200 (Voice) 954-731-7208 (TTY) NOISE: Double Trouble Recreational Noise You should know Noise levels at video arcades can be as high as 110 dBA. Firecrackers create sound levels ranging from 125 - 155 dBA at an average distance of 10 feet and pose a serious hazard to hearing. Sound levels at live music concerts can be measured at 120 dBA and beyond. Sitting closer to the speakers will create an even greater risk. Dance clubs, personal headsets and audio systems from car stereos are also measured at these dangerous levels. The noise level of gunshots can be measured at 150 dBA. Hearing loss can result from just a few shots of a high powered gun, if appropriate hearing protection is not worn. It is estimated that 50 million Americans who own and use firearms for competitive and recreational shooting are considered at risk for noise-induced hearing loss. Sports such as speed boating, auto racing, snowmobiling can pose a risk for both operators and spectators.

To answer these questions, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Office of Noise Abatement (1977) collected data from seven cities for a total of 2,037 individuals, 732 men and 1275 women. The resulting document The Urban Noise Survey reported that 62 percent of the respondents rated their neighborhoods as quiet, whereas 46 percent claimed to be bothered by noises in their neighborhoods. Motor vehicles accounted for most of these complaints, and television complaints were ranked at the bottom. There were no differences in gender with respect to these ratings of noise. Nationwide, 9 percent of all the respondents indicated that they had complained about noise in their neighborhoods, leading the authors of this survey to conclude that the proportion of the population that complains about noise "...is a poor predictor of the prevalence of annoyance." Borsky (1980) concurs with the Office of Noise Abatement's assessment that very large numbers of people are bothered by noises but adds that few complain to the authorities. In his earlier paper (1969) Borsky found that only 20 to 23 percent of the exposed population complains about noise intrusions. Similarly, Kryter (1985) concluded that complaints are not a good measure of community annoyance.

FEDERATION OF NOVA SCOTIA NATURALISTS - ORV Policy Participation in outdoor recreational activities is highest among rural residents, In accord with current legislation, no ATVs or dirt bikes should be http://www.chebucto.ns.ca/Environment/FNSN/ORV_Policy.html
Extractions: Federation of Nova Scotia Naturalists POLICY ON THE RECREATIONAL USE OF OFF-ROAD VEHICLES ON PUBLIC LANDS AND PUBLIC RIGHTS-OF-WAY IN NOVA SCOTIA CONTENTS To elaborate policy, acceptable to members of the Federation of Nova Scotia Naturalists, that will form the basis for discussion with federal, provincial, and municipal governments and people who use or benefit from the use of various off-road vehicles on public lands and rights-of-way in Nova Scotia for recreational purposes. Contents To define a policy that covers two issues: 1. Surface and other environmental damage caused by use of off-road-vehicles or works constructed to meet needs of users of off-road-vehicles 2. Interference with the "quiet enjoyment" of all protected areas, including natural parks, whether federal, provincial or municipal, by the flora and fauna that live there Both issues fall within the mandate of the Federation of Nova Scotia Naturalists and are of great concern to our constituency. The policy will be elaborated by land class, road or trail type, vehicle type, and habitat, as required. The policy will not deal with the inevitable conflicts among different classes of users on approved shared multi-use trails. Nor does it assume, as a matter of principle, that pedestrian trails have no negative impact on the environments through which they pass: construction and use of hiking trails should be regulated as well.
Extractions: GETTING INVOLVED AND MAKING A DIFFERENCE By Ron Schiller , High Desert Multiple Use Coalition; with some notes by Del Albright , Moderator, Land Use Network The purpose of this article is to give you a shortcut overview of how to get involved in the management of your public lands. It will also tell you how to have "standing" in legal actions and be a key participant in what happens to your favorite recreation area. By no means can everything about public input be covered in one short article; but you'll find most everything you need here to get started and be effective. Remember: public lands are your lands. You have the right to be included in the actions taken to manage your land. The public process as mandated by the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976, and other laws require all federal agencies to solicit and consider public input during the development of management plans, programs, regulations and other actions. To fully participate in the public process, the first step is to notify the appropriate agency of your interest in becoming involved. This should be in the form of a letter requesting that your name and address be place on the mailing list for all information regarding the management of public land under that agency's jurisdiction. In most cases, one should specify the extent or range of information desired. In other words, if you are only interested in receiving documents that relate to access to public lands for recreational activities (or road closures) and do not care to review cattle grazing allotment plans, mining proposals, timber sales, or other such activities; your letter should state so. But be careful here as sometimes timber sales, for example, include road closures and re-routes.
CMC Conservation outdoor recreational activities each year including those that hike, backpack, Real reform is needed now because dirt bikes, allterrain vehicles, http://previous.cmc.org/cmc/conservation/press/pr_fsrecletter.htm
Extractions: Outline Necessary Steps to Achieve Real Reform Denver, CO - Last week, 63 recreation organizations representing hundreds of thousands of Americans from 26 states wrote to U.S.D.A. Forest Service Chief Dale Bosworth pressing the agency to propose strong new rules to better protect National Forests from the negative impacts caused by dirt bikes, all-terrain vehicles, and other off-road vehicles (ORVs). The Forest Service, in an effort to reign in the burgeoning impacts from off-road vehicles, is planning on releasing a draft rule on off-road vehicle management by the end of May. Organizations that signed the letter include the American Hiking Society, Access Fund, Appalachian Mountain Club, Florida Trail Association, and Washington Trails Association. The letter outlines the impacts of unmanaged off-road vehicle use on the experiences of the 150 million Americans that participate in human-powered outdoor recreational activities each year including those that hike, backpack, paddle, climb, cross-country ski, snowshoe, and mountain bike. Unchecked motorized recreation causes severe and lasting damage to the natural environment on which human-powered recreation depends. In addition to placing soil, vegetation, air and water quality, and wildlife at risk through pollution, erosion, sedimentation of streams, habitat fragmentation and disturbance, and other adverse impacts to resources, unmanaged motorized use alters the remote and wild character of the backcountry, denying other users the quiet, pristine, backcountry experience they seek and presenting safety and health threats to other recreationists.
