Presentation Transcript

  1. Noise/Air Quality UpdateEUM Meeting March 2014 Email questions to: OES@dot.state.oh.us

  2. Air Quality- PM2.5 Hotspot PM2.5 Hotspot Analysis- Agency consultation • Modeling software • Data requirements • Data sources • Agreement on data inputs before running models • Receptor locations/mapping • Analysis years (existing, interim, opening year, dyb, opening yr +20??) • Review and coordination process • Required public involvement process • Analysis submittal/review process • PI/NEPA project timeline/overall PM2.5 schedule

  3. Air Quality- CO and PM10 • No longer issues in Ohio!

  4. Noise Analysis • No more “Preliminary” or “Final” terminology. • Added Noise PI to PDP task list. • Noise AnalysisNBDT⟶Noise PI⟶NWCP • Include a summary table showing ALL MODELED WALLS and an added summary table of only the NOISE WALLS BEING RECOMMENDED in the Conclusions/Recommendations

  5. Utility Issues • Retaining walls • Tower lighting • Overhead signs and lines- power/telephone/cable • Underground lines- power/telephone/fiber Optic/water/gas/sewer • Culverts • Drainage swales • Ground mounted electrical junction box • Fire hydrant

  6. Consultation/Communication • Consultants should send emails/electronic submittals to the Districts, not directly to OES.

  7. Consultation/Communication • Consultants should not be communicating directly with the agencies unless directed to do so by ODOT. 

  8. Noise Barrier Design Table (NBDT) • Noise walls modeled in the noise analysis report and prepared in noise wall construction plans must be done in 6” increments (i.e. 10’,10.5’, 11’, 11.5’, 12’, 12.5’, 13’, 13.5’, etc). • The NBDT aerial graphic requirement must show points along the noise wall every 50’ with each point corresponding to a bay height shown on a spreadsheet.

  9. Noise Wall Construction Plans • In addition to the showing the bottom and top of wall profiles and acoustic profile, show the roadway profile.  If the proposed noise wall is along a ramp, show the ramp and mainline profiles. 

  10. Noise Wall Construction • Crystalline Waterproofing admixtures • Noise Wall Precon meeting, Control Panel inspection, Final Noise Wall inspection • Stay away from brick texture.  Preferably no sides.  Max only 1 side brick.  Never both sides.  • Preferable same color and texture on both sides.

  11. Current and future noise research projects • Acoustifence testing- Draft report complete • Field testing various noise wall materials- Draft report complete • Construct Earthen mound Noise Barrier at 1:1slopes or steeper (internal) • FY2015- Acoustical Testing of Earthen Berms

  12. Type II/Maintenance Program • Retrofit/Replacement/Repair (RRR) Program Status Report • Availability in FY2016 • Calender 2014 projects in Districts 2,4,6,7,12

  13. Estimated Noise Barrier Related Costs

  14. Which takes the longest time to prepare and approve? • NMP • NWPPP • Noise and Air Quality Determination/scope • Qualitative MSAT Analysis • Noise and Air Quality Price Proposal • NBDT • NPIS • Noise Analysis • Quantitative MSAT Analysis • PM2.5 Hotspot Analysis • Noise Wall Construction Plans

  15. Questions, comments, concerns? Please give us feedback on what we can do to improve!! Let’s build better and smarter noise walls in Ohio and keep our existing noise walls looking good!!
