This activity will begin on Wednesday, March 2 and end by July 2022. The noisemaker, which is gas-powered and makes a sound like a muffled gunshot, will operate as needed between 7 A.M. and 7 P.M. This activity is consistent with ongoing agricultural operations and landscaping activities and nearby noise levels.
