Shareable evidence card

Misleading

The diesel generators will create continuous engine noise and exhaust.

Operation can be consequential, but “continuous” is not supported.

What the reviewed record shows

Amazon’s application describes the diesel fleet as emergency backup. Generator noise and exhaust occur when engines run for emergencies, testing, maintenance or other allowed operation. Cooling and other mechanical equipment may operate routinely, but that is not evidence that the diesel engines will run continuously.
