Our Noise Study does What?
9
Ø Identifies land use and activity areas that
may be impacted by highway traffic noise
Ø Determines existing noise levels Ø Predicts noise levels 20 years in the future
for No-Build and Build Alternatives
Ø Examines and evaluates ways to reduce
noise impacts (abatement measures)

Noise Abatement Consideration
10
Ø Noise abatement refers to the
positive action taken to reduce the impact of noise from highway traffic
- n an activity area
Ø Noise abatement on this project: ü Ø Noise barriers evaluated to
determine if they are feasible AND reasonable
