Harp Piedmont - Acoustic classification plans (province of Turin and Novara)

Mosaicing of the Acoustic Classification plans drawn up by the Municipalities of the province of Turin and Novara. The Acoustic Classification Plan (PCA), also called "acoustic zoning", represents an instrument of significant importance for the management and prevention of noise pollution. The PCA divides the municipal territory into six homogeneous zones from the point of view of urban settlements, setting the maximum permissible noise limits in the environment and determining constraints and conditions for an acoustically sustainable development of the territory. The six zones are: Class I - Particularly protected areas, Class II - Predominantly residential areas, Class III - Mixed type areas, Class IV - Areas of intense human activity, Class V - Predominantly industrial areas, Class VI - Exclusively industrial areas. The maximum values set by the PCA are: emission limits (maximum levels referring to the individual source), absolute input limits (maximum levels referring to the set of all sources), quality values (objective levels to be achieved in the short, medium, long term) and attention values (levels for the protection of health and the environment. The PCA must be approved by all municipalities in accordance with the Framework Law on Noise Pollution No. 447/95 and Regional Law No. 52/00. The process involves the approval of a proposal for acoustic zoning, and then, after the time for the submission of observations by the province, neighboring municipalities and individuals, the adoption of the final plan.
