Industrial and commercial noise in Orland Park is regulated by the Village's nuisance provisions and by Illinois Pollution Control Board standards (35 Ill. Adm. Code 900–901), which set numeric decibel limits at the receiving property line. Orland Park has limited heavy industry and is primarily commercial-retail.
Commercial and light-industrial properties in Orland Park must comply with both Village nuisance noise provisions and the Illinois Pollution Control Board's numeric noise standards under 35 Ill. Adm. Code 900–901. The IPCB standards set octave-band sound pressure limits measured at the property line of the receiving land use, with stricter limits during nighttime hours (10 PM–7 AM) and for residential receivers. Most of Orland Park's commercial activity is retail centered on Orland Square Mall and the LaGrange Road corridor, with limited light industrial uses. The Village handles complaints through the Police non-emergency line at (708) 349-4111, while serious or chronic IPCB violations can be referred to the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency.
Village citations carry fines of $100 to $750 per occurrence. IPCB violations may result in state enforcement actions including penalties up to $50,000 per day under the Illinois Environmental Protection Act for serious violators.
