Federal Highway Administration issued a Finding of No Significant Impact on June 22, 2016 on the Tier 2 Draft Environmental Assessment
ACTIVITY
To Date
Revised and new concepts will require environmental and traffic analyses
Additional environmental analysis Summer 2017 based on revised concepts - available Fall 2017
and Beyond
2018

4. Noise Analysis Process
Identify noise receptors
Perform noise measurements at representative receptors along the corridor
Perform noise modeling
Identify impacts (is noise mitigation warranted?)
Design and assess mitigation (typically noise walls)
Is the wall feasible?
Is the wall reasonable?
Noise walls were shown in preliminary concept plans in 2015
Confirm noise study results and perform updated noise analyses based upon updated concept plans and traffic analyses
Present noise study results and noise wall locations at design public hearings in fall 2017
Solicit public input from benefited property owners and renters (voting process)
Incorporate approved noise walls into the final road design construction plans
NEPA and Preliminary Design
FINAL DESIGN

5. Noise Walls in Your Community
If your community has a noise wall today, you will have one in the future
Replacement walls will be at same height or higher than existing walls and when a wall is removed work must be continuous until replacement (240 day goal)
Benefitted property owners (or tenants) will be consulted prior to any new walls being installed (voting process)
