In situations where measurement of noise levels at three hundred and fifty (350) feet is impractical or unrepresentative due to topography, the measurement may be taken at a lesser distance and extrapolated to a 350-foot equivalent using the formula stated in Rule 802 of the State of Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission.
