Table 2. Average noise levels on various days, at different powerhouse (PH) turbine unit outlets (e.g., 6N is the north outlet of turbine unit 6 and 4N/5S is between turbine units 4 and 5, see Figure 1), and treatments on the powerhouse deck for each hydrophone (i.e., PH 1, PH 2, etc., see Table 1 for details).
