To determine whether there is a violation of this chapter, the County must receive
a complaint. The County will review the complaint in accordance with Butte County
Code Chapter 41, Code Enforcement, and may investigate and assess whether the alleged noise levels
exceed the noise standards set forth in this chapter. If the Department of Development
Services has reason to believe that any provision(s) of this chapter has been violated,
it shall cause written notice to be served upon the alleged violator. Such notice
shall specify the provision(s) of this chapter alleged to have been violated and the
facts alleged to constitute a violation, including dBA readings noted and the time
and place of their detection, and shall include an order that corrective action be
taken within a specified time. If corrective action is not taken within such specified
time or any extension thereof approved by the Department of Development Services,
the Department shall commence the enforcement process specified in chapter 41. Upon conviction, the violation shall constitute an infraction, pursuant to Butte
County Code Section 41-2, Enforcement Procedures. It is unlawful for any person to refuse to cooperate with
or to obstruct any governmental agent, officer or employee in determining the noise
level or the ambient noise level. Such cooperation shall include, but is not limited
to, the shutting off or quieting of any noise source so that an ambient noise level
can be measured or alternatively the turning on or starting of any noise source that
is alleged to exceed standards.
