This interim rule will be in effect for 180 days.
Construction companies choosing to begin work early due to heat must email the Noise Control Office at variances@portlandoregon.gov and notify neighbors within a 500-foot radius of the construction site about the planned 6 a.m. start during high heat within 3 to 5 days.
This interim rule excludes pile driving, concrete saws, jackhammers, rock crushers and Vactor trucks.
This interim rule does not apply to Sundays and legal holidays.
