Does nighttime drilling ban apply to PGV?

[leilanidude]

As I write this I am on my back lanai looking at PGV. The big green monstrosity in the flesh. Noise is a huuuuuge frickin deal man. If you don't agree then you must not live close enough to matter, like those vibration nut cases.

So the question must be asked, "Did you move there after the plant was already in operation?"

My point about my location is that if anybody knows how much noise is or is not being produced by PGV that would be me. I am sick of people who live miles away talking about vibrations. Come to my house next week and hear for yourself!

Oh yeah - sounds like you are using old satellite data - that antherium nursery closed years ago!

I would love to come and listen.

I drove around Lanipuna today to see what I could hear.Barking dogs and roosters were pretty loud and I couldn't hear the plant.

As I drove back up Pohoiki road toward Pahoa/Kapoho road I passed a car that looked to be broken down and the guy behind the wheel yelled "Effing Haole". That was the loudest sound I heard.
I was minding my own business and driving the speed limit so I don't know what that was about !

Yep, nice and quiet today. I thought drilling was scheduled to start today...

...and you moved there before the plant opened, or after?

When the drilling starts, I would like to know where I can hear it at it's loudest!

Obie... in Cairo

After five years of study, scientists concluded that the average noise in Cairo from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. is 85 decibels,a bit louder than a freight train only 15 feet away. Hundreds of millions around the world would love it is noise for them dropped to 70 db.

A bit of self-education would answer many concerns I read here.

This paper is very well written..

get it? well written

Cool to connect with someone that helped build my house.

Now let's get MUDDY.

It is the prime concern. If something goes wrong with mud delivery, problems occur.

The pumps supplying mud, and vats storing it must be monitored 24/7 drilling or no drilling.

Gypsy a simple backup generator can run mud pumps. However, if the vat runs dry we have problems.

Drilling, is not a SIL4 activity and there are not three sets of power supplies , three sets of instruments, and redundant pipes, and valves.

For this reason, I am uncomfortable with depending on a mud system that has failed in the past for a well that is apparently difficult to cap.

The sooner we are not depending on the mud pumping system the better.

Isn't this the same outfit that can't keep the H2S sensors running 24x7?

No. Drilling crew and rig is most likely from the mainland. The islands don't have the equipment for drilling a hole this large or the crews to run it.
