Ban status

No leaf-blower-specific regulation. Town Code Chapter 156 (Noise) caps continuous sound at 90 dB(A) at 50 ft for 24-hour exposure, declining to 105 dB / 45 min and 108 dB / 22 min thresholds for shorter durations; separate "Sound Level 80 dB(A) Slow Response" table starts at 82 dB / 16 hr down to 100 dB / 1/4 hr; impulsive sound caps at 145 dB / single repetition, 135 / 10, 125 / 100. Generic to all sound sources; no equipment-class or fuel-source distinction. Typical GLB output (70-80 dB(A) at 50 ft) falls below the longer-duration thresholds, so the chapter does not function as a de facto GLB constraint.
