<br />Chairperson Johns noted they did not have any questions at this time and wanted to get an idea <br />on how the process worl<s. <br /> <br />Commissioner Shryock stated one of the issues was the noise factor and she wondered if there <br />was any data out there that showed the noise produced from a sl<ate parl<. <br /> <br />E.F. Anderson stated there are not any studies out there. He explained the types of noises that <br />can be heard and he noted the noises can be muffled depending on the type of material used.
