44 W h y d o a N o i s e S t u d y? Required by Federal Regulations (23 CFR 772) Federally funded project Project adds lanes to existing highway Project changes the location or elevation of the highway 44

45 H o w w a s t h e N o i s e S t u d y D o n e? ODOT Standard Procedure FHWA Policy and Guidance Existing Noise Readings 45 Sites -- June 2009 Verify Computer Models Confirm Noise Sources

46 H o w w a s t h e N o i s e S t u d y D o n e? Computer Modeling (FHWA s TNM V2.5) Existing Sensitive Locations Outdoor Activity Areas Interiors of churches, hospitals, etc. New Highway Design Freeway Lanes Urban Avenues City Streets Bridges Year 2035 Predicted Traffic

47 N o i s e S t u d y R e s u l t s Existing Noise Levels currently exceed FHWA/ODOT Noise Abatement Criteria 67 db for residential areas (outdoor) Future Noise Levels will exceed FHWA/ODOT Noise Abatement Criteria Noise Impacts throughout project area

48 N o i s e S t u d y R e s u l t s Will this project increase current noise levels? About the same as the existing levels at most locations Already high enough to be an Impact and will continue to be an impact

49 N o i s e S t u d y R e s u l t s What mitigation did we consider? Impose vehicle and speed restrictions Move the alignment Create buffer zones Not appropriate for an urban interstate project

50 N o i s e S t u d y R e s u l t s Noise walls as mitigation Not effective in these locations East Corridor (I-71) South Corridor (I-70/71 overlap) Could be effective in these locations Near Shiloh Baptist Church not accepted East Split and I-70 east of 18 th Street pending public input

51 N o i s e S t u d y R e s u l t s Will the retaining walls reflect the noise? Just perceptible in South Corridor Not perceptible in East Corridor What about sound absorbing material on the retaining walls? Not effective at reducing perceptible noise
