Bowers CONSULTANT V11, EXHIBIT A SCOPE OF STUDY TASK 1 - SOUND 'SURVEY Field'data shall,be collected at approximately'50 sites selected jointly'by city and consultants. These sites will include representative Examples of both mobile and stationary 'noise sources within 'the City, `as well as typical residential locations. Field data wilt he oriented towards satisfaction of three objectives: Verification of analytical noise source strength predictions. Development of descriptive data on unique stationary community noise sources. Definition of typical noise environments at residential locations throughout the City. To accomplish these objectives, sound level measurements will be made at standard reference distances from definable noise sources at sufficient times and for sufficient durations to assess the time variant nature of the noise emitted. For 'environmental noise assessments, a sufficient number. of readings at varying times during the day and night will be conducted to*defi:ne the typical day and night ambient noise levels. Data reportin.'T will include .(but not be limited to) dates and times of day of measurements, specific location, proximity to major sources, A peak noise levels. Additionally, mean energy levels and residual levels will be reported. The standard units for measurement will be A --weighted decibels. TASK 2 --'DEVELOPMENT OF NOISE CONTOURS Wyle personnel will meet with Department of Planning personnel to review and.to obtain final approval of the specific noise sources to be included in the study. These will include freeways and mayor arterials, Meadowlark'Airport, rail operations, and major industrial sites. Existing data will:be.collected on traffic mix densities for highways, on flight operations at the airport, on railroad schedules and train types, and on other activities as required for evaluation of major- noise sources. Sources for these data are expected to be the Planning Department, airport and railroad authorities, the State Department of Transportation, and Wyle files. TASK 2.1 -- HIGHWAY NOISE CONTOURS During an initial meeting, the methodology for drawing r:ighway noise contours will be ?resented to Planning Department personnel. This 'methodology willbe based on Wyle traffic noise model. Noise contour generation methods and nomography for various highway traffic conditions will be demonstrated to familiarize City personnel with their use. This technique will then be applied to compute CNEL contours along 1405, Beach Boulevard, and major arterials'in the City of Huntington'Beach. In addition, freeways and major arterials will be spot checked by field measurements to verify the accuracy of traffic predictions. TASK 2.2 - RAILROAD NOISE'CONTOURS Similarly, the Glyle methodology for development of railroad noise contours will. be presented to City personnel for demonstration and subsequent application to rail lines within Huntington.Beach. TASK 2.3 -- AIRPORT NOISE CONTOURS CNEL 65 contours will be established for operations at Meadow- lark Airport. These. contours will utilize flight pattern data provided by airport personnel and base noise data in the Wyle..t_les. Also, the potential effect of the U.,S. Marine Corps emergency landing field (Mile Square) within the City of Huntington Beach iaill be analyzed. TASK 2.4 - INDUSTRIAL SITES CONTOURS Noise survey data collected during the 50 site 1;ionitoring phase will be utilized -14.-o generate noise level contours around `prominent industrial sources, including oil drilling pumps. TASK'3 - ANALYSIS OF MEASUREMENT AND CON buRS Upon completion of Task 1 and 2, the measurements and contours will be analyzed with respect to the implications that noise levels have on land use. A review will be made of published criteria for maximum allowable noise levels for various land use categories. A map overlay(s) will be generated to graphically present land use versus noise environment conditions. These overlays will include latest EPA noise standards and limits as they apply to the present and projected land use and zoning patterns in Huntington Beach. EXHIBIT A CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH 'SCOPE OF `STUDY The final report will contain a discussion of the potential for improvement in the noise environment,considering' current `City policies and the reasonable limits` of, rioise `suppression tecYinology, TASK 4 EXAMINAiftON. OF COMMUNITY ORDINANCES After examining the City Building COQ"C� Zcming Ordinance and - General Pilan with regard to their implications for noise production and control, Wyle staff members will, in conjunction with City personnel, write a draft'of a new noise ordinance. The draft ordinance will comply with the jurisdictional authority of the City. In addition, simple procedures will be recommended so that City personnel will be able to monitor the community and enforce noise ordinances. TASK 5 - DOCUMENTATION A final report describing the work performed and the results obtained will be prepared, delivered and discussed. The format of this report will be such that it will be easily understood by the general public, and yet provide a comprehensive discussion of community noise in the Citlr of Huntington Beach. The final report. will include: The noise element for .the City, in proper format to.. satisfy the requirements of California.Government.Code 65302(g), and ready for inclusion in the.General Plan. A draft of a noise'ordinance for the City, prepared in conjunction with the Planning Department staff. An analysis -of present and future land use compatible with�the noise environment, including zoning implicatilis, presented'in a map overlay format.
