Description
The Noise Consultancy (TNC) offers assistance in the following areas: all aspects of community noise enforcement, noise ordinance drafting, expert testimony and studies, certified sound level measurements and surveys, permit applications and Environmental Impact Statements, impacted resident advocacy, and occupational hearing conservation programs.
TNC President, Eric M. Zwerling (resume), is the Director of the Rutgers Noise Technical Assistance Center (RNTAC), Department of Environmental Sciences, Rutgers - The State University of New Jersey. He has been engaged in private consulting since 1992. In 2000, he served as the expert witness for the City of New York Law Department. Mr. Zwerling and TNC staff conducted extensive sound level measurements and audio recording in Manhattan, prepared a 156 page expert report, and affidavits. Mr. Zwerling was deposed for over 7 hours, and assisted in deposing plaintiffs' expert. TNC staff conducted a sound demonstration for the Court in Times Square. The Opinion and Order of the Court quoted extensively from TNC submissions in ruling in our favor [99 Civ. 3381 (SAS)(2/15/00)]. Mr. Zwerling has subsequently been contracted to resolve problematic enforcement matters by the New York State Attorney General's Office, and the City of Philadelphia Law Department, Environmental & Regulatory Compliance Division.
Mr. Zwerling assists municipalities to draft noise ordinances that are simple, enforceable, efficient, and tailored to the specific needs of the jurisdiction. Codes Mr. Zwerling has drafted have been adopted in jurisdictions across the country from Lafayette, LA, to Traverse City, MI, and Newport, RI, to Walton County, FL. Once the code is in place, he then trains their enforcement personnel in the techniques and strategies of sound level measurements for enforcement purposes, including courtroom tactics. He has trained over 3,500 enforcement officers in the past 14 years. The certification conferred by the Rutgers University course, Community Noise Enforcement, is required for all enforcement agents in the state of New Jersey (pursuant to N.J.A.C. 7:29-2.11), and is recognized in numerous jurisdictions across the United States. As far as we know, this is the only certification program of national scope in existence. Mr. Zwerling also developed and delivered several new courses including: Vehicular Noise Enforcement, Motor Sports Ordinance Enforcement, and Octave Band Analysis for Enforcement. Aside from the courses offered every quarter at Rutgers University, the RNTAC has offered on-site certification courses for cities all across the United States, and now internationally, with a course for the country of Barbados, West Indies in 2004 (for a complete listing of courses see Mr. Zwerling's resume). Mr. Zwerling developed a Model Noise Ordinance for Barbados and conducted discussions on turning a proposed Noise Policy into noise regulation with the Environmental Engineering Division of the Ministry of Housing, Lands and the Environment .
