Note:      
(1) Reference has been made on the Type Approval report of a typical 600 - 850kW class wind turbine with adjustment to  
   represent the worst case scenario of a maximum sound power level of 100dB(A). The sound power levels of the  
   wind turbine are measured in accordance with the Standard “The Danish Ministry of Energy Order No. 304 of 14 May  
   1991" and the guidelines from the Danish Environmental Agency's Laboratory. The report indicates that there are  
   no audible tones in the noise.      
(2) Basing on ISO 9613:Part 2 for Atmospheric Absorption at 20°C and Relative Humidity 70%, with reference   
    made on the approved EIA for Construction of an International Theme Park in Penny’s Bay of North Lantau and its  
    Essential Associated Infrastructures, February 2000, ERM
