EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Potential traffic noise impact associated with the extension of Martin Luther King Freeway (Route 58) in Portsmouth, Virginia, has been assessed in accordance with procedures and criteria approved by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT). The project involves a one-mile extension on new location of Route 58, from the existing interchange with London Boulevard to a new interchange with Interstate 264. The study area also includes the Interstate 264 corridor from east of South Street and Des Moines Avenue to the interchange with Route 337. The assessment has determined that noise impact will occur at 126 residential properties, a recreational center, and one section of a cemetery under the design year 2032 Build condition. Three single barriers and a two barrier system could be constructed to protect 103 impacted residential properties and benefit 71 additional residential properties. All are feasible but only single Barriers 3 and 4 would be reasonable due to cost. At one other location where impact will occur under the 2032 Build condition, a barrier would not be feasible. The barrier findings discussed in this report have been based on a very preliminary feasibility and reasonableness evaluation. Final barrier decisions will not be made until a detailed evaluation based on final project design has been completed. Construction activity may cause intermittent fluctuations in noise levels. During the construction phase of the project, all reasonable measures will be taken to minimize noise impact from these activities.

1. INTRODUCTION The objective of this analysis was to assess the potential traffic noise impact associated with the extension of the Martin Luther King Freeway (Route 58) in Portsmouth, Virginia and to evaluate noise abatement measures wherever this impact is expected to occur. The project involves a one-mile extension on new location of Route 58, from the existing interchange with London Boulevard to a new interchange with Interstate 264. The study area also includes the Interstate 264 corridor from east of South Street and Des Moines Avenue to the interchange with Route 337 Portsmouth Boulevard. Refer to Figures 1 through 11 for graphics showing more project design detail. This report presents a description of noise terminology, the applicable standards and criteria, a description of the computations of existing and future noise levels, a projection of expected future noise impact, a preliminary investigation of abatement measures in locations where impact is predicted, and a discussion of construction noise. Appendix A includes the traffic data that was used as input to the Traffic Noise Model (TNM). Appendix B includes a listing of all studied properties and their computed noise levels.

2. NOISE TERMINOLOGY AND CRITERIA The potential traffic noise impact related to the proposed extension of the Martin Luther King Freeway was assessed in accordance with FHWA and VDOT noise assessment guidelines. The FHWA guidelines are set forth in 23 CFR Part 772.[1] VDOT’s regulations are contained within the State Noise Abatement Policy[2], and are consistent with the FHWA guidelines. To determine the degree of impact of highway traffic noise on human activity, the Noise Abatement Criteria (NAC) established by the FHWA regulation were used (see Table 1). The NAC are given in terms of the hourly, A-weighted, equivalent sound level in decibels (dBA). The A-weighted sound level is a single number measure of sound intensity with weighted frequency characteristics that corresponds to human subjective response to noise. Most environmental noise (and the A-weighted sound level) fluctuates from moment to moment, and it is common practice to characterize the fluctuating level by a single number called the equivalent sound level (Leq). The Leq is the value or level of a steady, non-fluctuating sound that represents the same sound energy as the actual time-varying sound evaluated over the same time period. For traffic noise assessment, Leq is typically evaluated over a one-hour period, and may be denoted as Leq(h). Table 1. FHWA NOISE ABATEMENT CRITERIA

day care centers, a playground, a basketball court, a cemetery, and interior areas of the churches and day care centers. The project corridor also contains industrial properties, however these facilities do not include Category C exterior noise sensitive activities. Per FHWA, noise impact occurs when the predicted noise levels in the project area “approach or exceed” the NAC during the loudest hour of the day. As shown in Table 1 above, the applicable NAC for Category B exterior activities is 67 dBA Leq and for Category E interior activities is 52 dBA Leq. VDOT defines the word “approach” to mean when the loudest-hour Leq equals 1 dB less than the NAC. Therefore, noise impact occurs when future noise levels equal or exceed 66 dBA Leq for Activity Category B and 51 dBA Leq for Activity Category E. Noise impact also occurs when predicted noise levels substantially exceed existing noise levels. An increase of 10 decibels or more is considered “substantial” by VDOT. For land uses under any of the activity categories, wherever the predicted design-year build alternative noise levels during the loudest hour of the day either (1) approach or exceed the NAC, or (2) exceed existing noise levels by 10 decibels or more, then consideration of traffic-noise abatement measures is necessary. Noise abatement that will be effective in reducing noise impact will be considered reasonable and feasible unless it is found that such mitigation measures will cause adverse social, economic and environmental effects that outweigh the benefits received. Noise levels in the project study area were determined for the 2007 existing conditions, the design-year 2032 no-build conditions, and the design-year 2032 build conditions.

3. MODELING AND PROJECTIONS 3.1 Highway Noise Computation Model All traffic-noise computations for this study were conducted using the latest version of the FHWA Traffic Noise Model (FHWA TNM 2.5)[3]. The traffic data and engineering drawings developed for the environmental document were used as input to TNM. In general, sound propagation over acoustically “soft” ground (e.g. lawn, with an effective flow resistivity of 300 cgs Rayls) was assumed throughout the study area, except where sound propagation occurred over acoustically “hard” ground (such as asphalt or water, with an effective flow resistivity of 20,000 cgs Rayls). 3.2 Traffic Data For Noise Computations Traffic data for highway-noise computation was provided by VDOT for 2006 (Existing) and 2032 (Design-year for Build and No-build cases). A 1-percent growth factor per year was applied to the 2006 data to bring the Existing year to 2007. The traffic data included hourly vehicle volumes and vehicle classifications, directional distributions, and some operating speeds. Those speeds not provided were estimated based on posted speeds and observations made while on-site in the study area. Appendix A provides a summary of the traffic data used in the noise analysis. 3.3 Computed Existing and Future Noise Levels The project corridor includes a number of areas containing noise-sensitive properties. These areas include along both sides of Martin Luther King Freeway from south of London Boulevard to south of High Street, along both sides of Interstate 264 east of the proposed new interchange with Route 58, along the eastbound side of Interstate 264 southwest of the Route 58 interchange, at the Interstate 264 interchange with Route 17, and along both sides of Interstate 264 from the interchange with Route 17 to the interchange with Route 337. The following paragraphs include descriptions of the study areas and summaries of the associated noise levels. Appendix B includes these computed noise levels representing existing, DY2032 no-build, and DY2032 build conditions for all studied properties. Figures 1 through 11 show the study areas and study sites. These figures also show the 66 dBA noise contours developed for the DY2032 build condition.

3.3.1 Interstate 264 Interchange with Route 337 to Interchange with Route 17 – South of Interstate 264 Noise sensitive properties in this area are Sites 1 through 22 and 308 through 336 (see Figures 1, 2, and 3). All sites except 322 and 323 – J.F. Kennedy Rec Building and Douglas Park – are residential properties located on Trexler Avenue, Magnolia Street, Carver Circle, Manteo Street, Grand Street, Calvin Street, Killian Street, Frederick Boulevard, Neville Street, Radford Street, and Grove Street. The area includes the area south of Interstate 264 and the area in the southwest quadrant of the interchange with Route 17. Design year 2032 predictions indicate that Build and No-Build noise levels at these sites will range from 62 to 74 dBA and 62 to 73 dBA respectively. Existing levels also range from 62 to 73 dBA. Thirteen residential properties – nine in the southwest quadrant of the Interstate 264 interchange with Route 17 and four south of Interstate 264 - are predicted to be impacted as a result of noise levels approaching or exceeding the Category B NAC. 3.3.2 Interstate 264 Interchange with Route 337 to Interchange with Route 17 – North of Interstate 264 Noise sensitive properties in this area are Sites 337 through 371 (see Figures 1, 2, and 3). All sites are residential properties located on Choate Street, north of and parallel with Interstate 264. 2007 Existing noise levels in this area range from 60 to 70 dBA, while 2032 No-Build and Build levels are predicted to range from 61 to 71 dBA. Build levels will be no more than 1 decibel higher than Existing levels at any of the sites. In the 2032 design year, 38 residential properties are predicted to be impacted under the Build condition with noise levels approaching or exceeding the Category B NAC. 3.3.3 Interstate 264 Interchange with Route 58 - South This area includes Sites 23 through 95, with apartments and a playground on Dale Drive, and one residence on Columbus Avenue and another on Nashville Avenue (see Figure 5). 2007 Existing noise levels at the 73 sites range from 58 to 65 dBA. By design year 2032, No-build levels are predicted to range from 59 to 66 dBA, while Build levels are predicted to range from 58 to 62 dBA. The No-build levels are higher than Build levels at most sites due to the Route 58 interchange (which will not exist under the no-build condition) and the elevated ramps which will provide shielding from Interstate 264 traffic noise. Four of the sites are predicted to be impacted under the 2032 No-build condition with levels reaching 66 dBA. No sites in this area are predicted to be impacted under the Build condition.

3.3.4 Interstate 264 East of Interchange with Route 58 - South This area includes a cemetery (3 sections), a church on Piedmont Avenue, two day care facilities on Duke Street, and residential properties on Pulaski Street, Calvary Court, Deep Creek Boulevard, Piedmont Avenue, Des Moines Avenue, Lansing Avenue, Charleston Avenue, Richmond Avenue, Parker Avenue, Atlanta Avenue, Camden Avenue, and Elm Avenue. These 115 sites (96 through 210) can be found on Figures 6 – 8. Exterior noise levels at these sites range from 59 to 69 dBA under the 2007 Existing condition. Thirty-five properties including one section of the Mount Calvary Cemetery receive levels of 66 to 69 dBA. Under the 2032 No-build condition, 43 properties, including two sections of the cemetery and the Holy Trinity Church, are predicted to experience impact in exterior areas. Noise levels are predicted to range from 59 to 70 dBA. Noise levels under the 2032 Build condition, ranging from 59 to 69 dBA will result in impact at 22 properties plus one section of the cemetery. No-build noise levels are higher than Build levels at some sites due to the new Route 58 interchange, which will not exist with the No-build alternative. Interior 2032 Build levels at the church and two day care facilities under closed window conditions are below 51 dBA, ranging from 40 to 45 dBA. All three buildings are air-conditioned, allowing for closed window conditions. 3.3.5 Interstate 264 East of Interchange with Route 58 - North Sites 211 through 254 (see Figures 6, 7, and 9), which are residential properties and a basketball court, are located in this area on South Street, Rose Avenue, Columbus Avenue, and Swanson Parkway. Swanson Homes are townhomes, and each site (212 through 220 and 222 through 226) represent six first floor units. Existing noise levels in this area in 2007 range from 61 to 71 dBA and result in impact at exterior areas of 48 properties including 36 Swanson Homes units. Design year 2032 No-build predicted noise levels range from 62 to 72 dBA with impact at 57 properties including 42 units in Swanson Homes. Noise levels under the 2032 Build alternative are predicted to range from 62 to 70 dBA with impact predicted at 53 properties including 36 units in Swanson Homes. Noise levels at most sites in this area are predicted to be higher under the No-build rather than the Build alternative because of the new Route 58 interchange which will not exist under the no-build condition. The proposed new interchange ramps will be elevated, and combined with the parapets, will shield the noise sensitive properties from ramp traffic noise.

3.3.6 Route 58 Extension South of High Street - West All sites in this area are residential properties (Sites 255 through 267) located on Meander Street, King Street, and High Street and are shown in Figures 10 and 11. Existing noise levels at the 13 properties range from 51 to 59 dBA. Noise levels under the 2032 No-build and Build alternatives are predicted to range from 52 to 60 dBA and 57 to 63 dBA respectively. No sites in this area are predicted to be noise impacted. 3.3.7 Route 58 Extension South of High Street – East Only two sites are included in this area, Bethel Temple Church on County Street and Morning Star Church on High Street (see Figures 10 and 11). Exterior noise levels at the two churches range from 52 to 61 dBA in the existing year, and are predicted to range from 53 to 62 dBA and 59 to 62 dBA under the 2032 No-build and Build conditions respectively. Both churches are air-conditioned, allowing for closed-window conditions, resulting in 2032 levels no higher than 42 dBA. Neither of the two churches are predicted to be noise impacted. 3.3.8 Route 58 North of High Street - East Sites in this area (270 through 292) include residential properties on Queen Street, Constitution Avenue, and Liverpool Street and Soul’s Paradise Church (on High Street) and Calvary Baptist Church (on Constitution Avenue). These sites can be found in Figure 11. Existing exterior levels in 2007 at these sites range from 53 dBA to 63 dBA. During 2032, No-build levels are predicted to range from 54 to 64 dBA, while Build levels are predicted to range from 57 to 64 dBA. Interior levels at the churches (both are air-conditioned) under closed window conditions will be 44 dBA under Build conditions. No properties are predicted to be noise impacted in this area. 3.3.9 Route 58 North of High Street – West All sites in this area are residential properties on Queen Street and MacArthur Avenue (293 through 307), and are shown in Figures 11. Existing (2007) noise levels range from 55 to 61 dBA, while 2032 No-build and Build alternative levels are predicted to range from 56 to 62 and 59 to 65 dBA respectively. No properties are predicted to be noise impacted in this area.

4. NOISE IMPACT ASSESSMENT The projected traffic noise impact related to the Route 58 (Martin Luther King Freeway) Extension project in Portsmouth, Virginia was assessed in accordance with procedures and criteria approved by the FHWA and VDOT. The assessment identified Design Year 2032 noise impact at 125 residential properties (including 36 townhome units), a recreation center, and a section of a cemetery. All impact will be due to noise-levels approaching or exceeding the NAC, no sites are predicted to experience a substantial increase between existing and build noise levels. However, the assessment predicts that 108 residential properties (including 42 townhome units), two sections of a cemetery, and exterior areas of a church are predicted to be impacted under the 2032 No-build alternative, and that 89 residential properties (including 36 townhome units) and a section of a cemetery experience noise impact under the 2007 Existing case. As stated previously, the higher noise levels (resulting in more noise impact) predicted for the 2032 No-build alternative, and in some cases for the 2007 Existing condition, (as compared to the Build alternative) are due to the extension of Route 58. The elevated ramps at the new interchange, which do not and will not exist for the Existing and No-build cases, will provide shielding from traffic noise generated on the mainline.

5. NOISE ABATEMENT The FHWA has identified certain noise abatement measures that may be incorporated in projects to reduce or eliminate traffic noise impact. Mitigation measures that have been considered for this project include alternative measures (traffic management and the alteration of horizontal and vertical alignment), plus the construction of noise barriers. 5.1 Alternative Noise Abatement Measures Traffic management measures normally considered for noise abatement include reduced speeds and truck restrictions. Reduced speeds will not be an effective noise mitigation measure since a substantial decrease in speed is necessary to provide a significant noise reduction. In addition, the reduction would need to be applied to Interstate 264, and part of the purpose and need for this project is to increase roadway capacity and traffic flow in the area. A speed reduction on Interstate 264 would not accomplish that. Restricting truck usage on Interstate 264 would not be practical as it is a major truck route in the area, and part of the purpose and need for the project is to remove truck traffic from local roads. The alteration of the horizontal or vertical alignment beyond what is already planned as part of the project would not be effective or practical. Elevating the extended portion of Route 58 as it crosses Interstate 264 is predicted to reduce Build case noise levels at a number of sites studied as part of this assessment. 5.2 Noise Barriers The construction of noise barriers has been considered for each of the 126 residential properties for which impact has been predicted under the 2032 Build alternative. At one location, a barrier has been determined not to be feasible due to the requirement for access (see Barrier 5 in Figure 3). At two other locations, constructing barriers has been determined to be feasible in protecting some of the impacted properties, while other sites require property access and cannot be protected (see Barriers 1 and 2 on next page). To be feasible, a barrier must be effective, that is it must reduce noise levels by at least 5 decibels. To be reasonable, a barrier cannot cost more than $30,000 per protected or benefited residential property. A residential property is “protected” if it will be exposed to future noise impact and will receive at least 5 decibels of noise reduction from a barrier. By comparison, a residential property is “benefited” if it is not exposed to future noise impact, but will still receive at least 5 decibels of noise reduction from a barrier designed to protect other properties. A barrier not found to be reasonable due to cost can still be constructed if a third party (other than FHWA or VDOT) funds the amount above $30,000 per residential property.

Noise Analysis Technical Report 22

Route 58 MLK Portsmouth, Virginia May 2008 VDOT Project No. 0058-965-107,P101

The five barriers or barrier systems are discussed below and are summarized in Table 4. A two barrier system (Barriers 1 and 2) would be constructed to protect impacted properties south of Eastbound Interstate 264 east of the proposed interchange with Route 58 (Figures 3 and 4). The impact assessment results for that area are in Section 3.3.3. Due to property access requirements, the barrier system could protect only 12 of the 22 impacted residences and the cemetery and would benefit 17 residential properties by providing 5 to 7 decibels of noise reduction at a cost of $41,460 per property. This cost exceeds the $30,000 per property maximum. This preliminary evaluation indicates that constructing the barrier system would be feasible but not reasonable. Constructing Barrier 3 (Figures 6 and 7) has also been determined to be feasible. The impact assessment results for that area are in Section 3.3.4. The barrier would be built to protect residential properties located north of westbound Interstate 264 east of the proposed interchange with Route 58. Barrier 3 would protect 52 of 53 impacted residential properties and would benefit 52 properties by providing 5 to 7 decibels of noise reduction at a cost of $9,511 per property, well within the $30,000 per property maximum. This barrier appears to be reasonable. Barrier 4 has been determined to be feasible and would protect 35 residential properties at a cost of $24,079 per protected property. It would be located just off the shoulder of westbound Interstate 264 (see Figures 2 and 3). Barrier 6 (Figures 2 and 3) has been determined to be feasible but not reasonable. It would protect four residential properties and a recreation center at a cost of $76,923 per protected residential property. The value to the recreation center is questionable, since there are no windows on the side of the one-story building facing Interstate 264, and outside activity areas appear to be at most on the side of the building partially shielded from the noise source. The barrier findings discussed in this section of the report have been based on a very preliminary feasibility and reasonableness evaluation. Final barrier decisions will not be made until a detailed evaluation based on final project design has been completed.

6. CONSTRUCTION NOISE An increase in project area noise levels will occur during the construction of the proposed project improvements. Construction noise differs from that generated by normal traffic due to differences in the spectral and temporal characteristics of the noise. The degree of noise impact during construction will be a function of the number and types of equipment being used, and the distances between the construction equipment and the noise-sensitive areas. Generally, construction activity will occur during normal working hours on weekdays. Therefore, noise impact experienced by local residents as a result of construction activities should not occur during sleeping hours. Some impact will occur in the project vicinity where outdoor recreation takes place during normal working hours. A number of measures can be utilized in order to minimize noise resulting from construction activities. Such measures include, but are not limited to, the following:

Noise Analysis Technical Report 24

Route 58 MLK Portsmouth, Virginia May 2008 VDOT Project No. 0058-965-107,P101

• Equip any internal combustion engine used for any purpose on or related to the job with a properly operating muffler;

• Conduct truck loading, unloading and hauling so that noise is kept to a minimum;

• Route construction equipment and vehicles in areas that will cause the least disturbance to nearby receptors where possible; and

• Place continuously operated diesel-powered equipment, such as compressors and generators, in areas as far as possible from or shielded from noise-sensitive locations.

• Wherever possible, noise barriers to be constructed as part of the project will be constructed as soon as possible to allow the barriers to protect noise-sensitive areas from construction noise.

The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) has developed a specification concerning construction noise that is applicable to this project. In summary, the specification requires the Contractor to limit construction noise levels to 80 decibels in noise-sensitive areas adjacent to the project area. Further, VDOT may monitor construction noise and require noise abatement where exterior noise levels from construction operations exceed 80 decibels. Also, VDOT may prohibit or Restrict work that produces objectionable noise between 10 P.M. and 6 A.M. Construction equipment cannot be altered such that noise levels will be greater than that of the original equipment. These provisions are contained in Section 107.14(b) 3 Noise[4] and are reproduced below:

• “The Contractor’s operations shall be performed so that exterior noise levels measured during a noise-sensitive activity shall be not more than 80 decibels. Noise sensitive activity is any activity for which lowered noise levels are essential if the activity is to serve its intended purpose. Such activities include, but are not limited to, those associated with Residences, hospitals, nursing homes, churches, schools, libraries, parks, and recreational areas.”

• “The Department may monitor construction-related noise. If construction noise levels exceed 80 decibels, the Contractor shall take corrective action before proceeding with operations. The Contractor shall be responsible for costs associated with the abatement of construction noise and the delay of operations attributable to noncompliance with these requirements.”

• “The Department may prohibit or restrict to certain portions of the project any work that produces objectionable noise between 10 P.M. and 6 A.M. If other hours are established by local ordinance, the local ordinance shall govern.”

• “Equipment shall in no way be altered so as to result in noise levels that are greater than those produced by the original equipment.”

Noise Analysis Technical Report 25

Route 58 MLK Portsmouth, Virginia May 2008 VDOT Project No. 0058-965-107,P101

• “When feasible, the Contractor shall establish haul routes that direct his vehicles away from developed areas and ensure that noise from hauling operations is kept to a minimum.”

• “These requirements are not applicable if the noise produced by sources other than the Contractor’s operation at the point of reception is greater than the noise from the Contractor’s operation at the same point.”
