(2) N/A. (3) The DEP has continued to liaise with the local authority on how best to deal with this issue. Two factors have influenced Department of Environmental Protection's approach to this matter, the level of potential impact which is considered less than some other noise monitoring priorities and that a technically-based approach may not be the best method of dealing with what is a conflict of social aspirations.
