1 3.10 NOISE Background and Methodology Regulatory Context The analysis of aviation noise impacts is primarily the responsibility of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). For a list of Federal statutes, FAA regulations, FAA guidance, State of California regulations, and County of Sonoma policies related to the consideration of noise impacts, see Appendix M. In addition, the California Airport Land Use Planning Handbook (Handbook) was used as a technical resource to assist in the preparation of the noise analysis Thresholds of Significance Aircraft Noise Sonoma County has adopted land use and noise compatibility policies to address existing and potential noise impacts at noise sensitive uses, which include the following: Residences Schools Hospitals, nursing homes Churches, libraries Long-term medical or mental care facilities Office building interiors Other uses deemed noise sensitive by the local jurisdiction The Thresholds of Significance used in this study include: 1. Sonoma County General Plan Noise Element The Noise Element includes the following policy as it relates to airport and transportation noise on public roadways: Policy NE-1b: Avoid noise sensitive land use development in noise impacted areas unless effective measures are included to reduce noise levels. For noise due to traffic on public roadways, railroads and airports, reduce exterior noise to 60 db L dn or less in outdoor activity areas and interior noise levels to 45 db L dn or less with windows and doors closed. Where it is not possible to meet this 60 db L dn standard using a practical application of the best available noise reduction technology, a maximum level of up to 65 db L dn may be allowed but interior noise level shall be maintained so as not to exceed 45 db L dn. 2. Sonoma County General Plan Air Transportation Element The Air Transportation Element (ATE) supports and guides the future growth and development of the air transportation services within Sonoma County in a manner that is consistent and reinforces the policies stated in other elements of the General Plan. The goal of this element is to maintain the land uses adjacent to the Airport compatible with existing and future Airport operations
2 The ATE includes the following policy as it relates to noise and compatible land uses adjacent to existing airports: Policy AT-1a: Proposed development within a noise environment in excess of 55 dba CNEL shall comply with the Sonoma County Comprehensive Airport Land Use Plan. 3. Sonoma County Comprehensive Airport Land Use Plan (CALUP) The CALUP describes the noise compatibility standards of the six public use airports within Sonoma County. All residential uses are unacceptable with noise above 65 dba CNEL. Residences are conditionally acceptable between 55 and 60 dba CNEL, subject to an outdoorto-indoor noise level reduction of at least 25 decibels, and between 60 and 65 dba CNEL, subject to an outdoor-to indoor noise level reduction of at least 30 decibels. Schools, libraries, hospitals, and nursing homes are unacceptable in areas exposed to noise above 60 dba CNEL and are conditionally acceptable between 55 and 60 dba CNEL subject to a noise level reduction of 25 decibels. Churches, auditoriums, and concert halls are unacceptable at noise levels above 65 dba and are required to provide for noise level reductions of 25 to 30 db if they are located between 55 and 65 dba CNEL. The noise compatibility standards are listed in Table FAA Airport Environmental Assessment Criteria Impacts due to noise exposure associated with the operation of the airport would be considered significant if the project would cause a discernable increase in noise levels. The increase in noise levels due to the project is based on a comparison of conditions with the project and conditions without the project in the same analysis year. For transportation noise, an increase in noise levels of 5.0 db is considered discernible where existing noise levels are less than 60.0 db CNEL. In addition, an increase in noise of 3 db or more is considered discernible for existing noise levels between 60 and 65 db CNEL and an increase in noise by 1.5 db or more is considered discernable for existing noise levels greater than 65 db CNEL. Appendix G of the CEQA Guidelines provides that a project may have a significant noise impact if it would result in: 5. California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines 1. Exposure of persons to or generation of noise levels in excess of standards established in the local general plan or noise ordinance, or applicable standards of other agencies 2. Exposure of persons to or generation of excessive groundborne vibration or groundborne noise levels 3. A substantial permanent increase in ambient noise levels in the project vicinity above levels existing without the project 4. A substantial temporary or periodic increase in ambient noise levels in the project vicinity above levels existing without the project 5. For a project located within an airport land use plan or, where such a plan has not been adopted, within two miles of a public airport or public use airport, would the project expose people residing or working in the project area to excessive noise levels

4 6. For a project within the vicinity of a private airstrip, would the project expose people residing or working in the project area to excessive noise levels Traffic Noise Roadway noise is covered by Policy NE-1b, discussed above Methodologies Aircraft Noise The methods used here for describing existing noise conditions and forecasting the future noise environment rely extensively on computer noise modeling. The noise environment is commonly depicted in terms of lines of equal noise levels, or noise contours. These noise contours are supplemented here with specific noise data for selected points on the ground. The FAA's Integrated Noise Model (INM) Version 7.0b was used to model aviation operations for the Airport for purposes of identifying the extent of aircraft noise exposure. The original INM was released in The latest version, INM Version 7.0b, was released for use in 2009, and is the state-of-the-art in airport noise modeling. The INM is a large computer program developed to plot noise contours for airports. The program is provided with standard aircraft noise and performance data for over 100 civilian aircraft types that can be tailored to the characteristics of an airport, as well as a database of military aircraft types. Version 7.0b includes an updated database that includes some newer aircraft, the ability to include run-ups in the computations, the ability to include topography in the computations, and the increased differentiation between different types of aircraft (civil, military, and helicopter). Noise contour files from the INM were loaded into the ArcView Geographic Information System (GIS) software for plotting and land use analysis. The INM program requires the input of the physical and operational characteristics of an airport. Physical characteristics include runway coordinates, airport altitude, and temperature and, optionally, topographical data. Operational characteristics include various types of aircraft data. This includes not only the aircraft types and flight tracks, but also departure procedures, arrival procedures, and stage lengths (flight distance) that are specific to the operations at an airport. Aircraft data needed to generate noise contours include: number of aircraft operations by type; types of aircraft; day/night time distribution by type; flight tracks; flight track and runway utilization by type; flight profiles; typical operational procedures; and average meteorological conditions. For a detailed discussion of all parameters and assumptions used in the noise model, see Appendix M. 1 United States Department of Transportation, Federal Aviation Administration, Integrated Noise Model (INM) Version 7.0 User's Guide, April
5 Traffic Noise The noise levels along public roads in the vicinity of the Airport were computed using the Highway Noise Model published by the Federal Highway Administration 2. The FHWA Model uses traffic volume, vehicle mix, vehicle speed, and roadway geometry to compute the "equivalent noise level." A computer code has been written which computes equivalent noise levels for each of the time periods used in the calculation of L dn. Weighting these noise levels and summing the results in the L dn for the traffic projections used. L dn contours are found by iterating over many distances until the distances to the 60, 65, and 70 L dn contours are found. The noise levels were computed for the following five scenarios: 1) Existing Conditions (2009) 2) Conditions in the Year 2015 Without Proposed Project 3) Conditions in the Year 2015 With Proposed Project 4) Conditions in the Year 2030 Without Proposed Project 5) Conditions in the Year 2030 With Proposed Project Traffic volume data used to calculate traffic noise levels is presented in Section 3.12, Traffic and Transportation. Average daily traffic (ADT) volumes are required to compute L dn values. The traffic analysis in Section 3.12 only analyzed peak hour traffic volumes and did not estimate ADTs. ADTs used for the traffic noise calculations were estimated from the peak hour traffic volumes. Non-airport-related peak hour traffic (i.e., background traffic) volumes would be expected to be approximately 10% of ADTs and airport-related peak hour traffic volumes would be expected to be between 15% and 18% of the project traffic ADTs. Therefore, the average AM and PM peak hour volume without the Proposed Project were multiplied by 10 to estimate the ADTs and the average AM and PM peak hour volumes with the Proposed Project were multiplied by 6.7 to estimate the project ADTs. The ADTs with the Proposed Project were added to the ADTs without the Proposed Project to determine the total ADTs. This approach is considered to be conservative in estimating ADTs associated with the Proposed Project Existing Conditions Aircraft Noise The 55, 60, 65, 70, and 75 db CNEL noise contours for 2009, 2015, and 2030 were produced to address the Sonoma County General Plan and Comprehensive Airport Land Use Plan (thresholds of significance number 1, 2, and 3). Table identifies the size of the respective CNEL contours in 5 db increments. CNEL is a measure of the overall noise experienced during an entire day and annualized. In the CNEL scale, noise occurring between the hours of 7 pm and 10 pm is penalized by approximately 5 db and during the night (10 pm to 7 am) is penalized by 10 db. This penalty was selected to attempt to account for the higher sensitivity to noise in the evening and nighttime hours. The existing 2009 noise contours are shown in Figure The largest contour is the 55 CNEL contour and the smallest contour is the 75 CNEL (see Figure 2-4 Appendix M, as reference). The runway utilization and operational flow are clearly depicted in the shape of the noise contours. Noise contours southeast of the Airport are primarily influenced by departures from Runway 14. The small node of noise contours east of the Airport is primarily influenced by helicopter operations at the helipad. 2 Federal Highway Administration, 1978, Highway Traffic Noise Prediction Model, FHWA-RD
6 Table CNEL AREA IN ACRES CONTOUR CNEL (DB) TOTAL ACRES , CNEL and greater 1,684 In addition to the noise contours, noise modeling results can be expressed in tabular format in terms of CNEL at specific representative locations. INM Version 7.0b was used to determine the noise levels at receptor sites in the Airport vicinity. A list of these locations is presented in Table and graphically depicted in Figure These receptor sites represent noise sensitive areas at the residential areas closest to the Airport and underneath flight paths. Noise sensitive uses include residential, educational, health, and religious structures and sites, and parks, recreational areas (including areas with wilderness characteristics), wildlife refuges, and cultural and historical sites. Although Sites 1, 2, and 4 are not located in areas classified as noise sensitive land use, they are adjacent to residential areas. The modeled noise levels at the receptor sites for the existing conditions are shown in Table Table NOISE RECEPTOR SITES Receptor Sites Name Land Use Latitude Longitude 1 Airport Property East Airport Airport Property West Airport Triple Oak Way Residential Cutrer Winery Commercial Rio Ruso Drive Residential Windsor High School School Mitchell Lane Residential Trione Circle Residential Olivet Road Residential Piner High School School

Sites 1-4 were selected for CNEL measurement because they were the closest to the airport. The sound level meters used to determine the noise levels were Brüel & Kjær meters, which comply with specific International Standards (IEC) and measurement standards established by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) for Type I instrumentation. Noise events that exceeded the sound level threshold of 65 db for duration longer than three seconds were classified as aircraft noise events and used to calculate aircraft CNEL at receptor sites 1-4. Noise events at sites 5-10 were classified as aircraft noise events by matching them with actual aircraft operations observed by a technician at each receptor site. The data collected during the measurements can be summarized as a noise environment in terms of the noise level exceeded 10 percent, 50 percent, and 90 percent of the time and designated as (L percentage ) L 10, L 50, L 90, respectively. The L 10 is the noise level exceeded 10% of the time and represents the typical peak noise level. The L 50 is the median noise level. L 90 is the noise level exceeded 90% of the time. The L 90 is a good approximation of the background noise level (i.e., the noise level that would occur in the absence of identifiable noise events). Table lists the L 10, L 50, and L 90 levels at each receptor location. The noise measurement data were used to compute CNEL at receptor sites 1-4. The measurement periods at receptor sites 5-10 lasted a few hours and collected single event levels and background noise levels. An aircraft only, a community (non-aircraft), and a total CNEL were calculated for each site. The aircraft CNEL was calculated from all one-second data that was recorded at each site during an aircraft noise event (see Appendix M). The community CNEL was computed from all one-second data that were recorded at each site when there were no aircraft noise events. These CNEL values of a few days of measurements should not be compared to an annual average CNEL value because, during the measurements, different
10 aircraft types, runway utilization, and wind conditions may not have been the same as those used to calculate the annual average CNEL.

12 The FHWA traffic model calculates noise from automobiles, medium trucks (trucks with two axels and more than four wheels), and heavy trucks (trucks with three or more axels. Further, the L dn metric weights noise that occurs during the nighttime (10 p.m. to 7 a.m.) hours. Table presents the percentage of traffic from each vehicle class during each period used to calculate the L dn levels (this does not include construction-related traffic). This mix was developed based on traffic surveys in suburban areas and is expected to be representative of conditions around the proposed project.

14 Environmental Impacts and Mitigation Measures Impact : Construction Noise Impacts as a Result of Short-Term Project Elements During the construction of the short-term project elements, noise from construction activities would occur. The closest noise-sensitive uses from any proposed construction location would be residential areas to the north and west of the Airport. The general types of equipment that may be expected to be used include the following: Cement and Mortar Mixer Excavators Grader Other General Industrial Equipment Paver Paving Equipment Rollers Rubber Tired Dozers Tractor Loader/Backhoe Trencher Water Truck Construction equipment noise levels for this equipment and others are shown on Figure 5-3 of Appendix M. This table shows the typical range of noise levels for common types of construction equipment. The levels shown are the A-weighted maximum noise level at a distance of 50 feet. Not all of this equipment will be used for this project, but until engineering design is complete and construction plans are developed it is not possible to positively identify equipment that will be used. It is not anticipated that pile drivers will be used for these projects. However, noise levels from a point source, such as construction equipment, decrease at the rate of approximately six db with each doubling of distance from the source. For example, if a backhoe were 92 dba at 50 feet, it would be 86 dba at 100 feet, 80 dba at 200 feet, 74 dba at 400 feet, etc. Of the equipment expected to be used on site, the noisiest will likely be the tractors, front loaders and other heavy construction trucks. This equipment ranges from the mid 70 s to highs in the range of 94 dba at a distance of 50 feet. Jackhammers and drills to the extent they are use have the highest maximum noise levels of about 98 dba at a distance of 50 feet. There are 6 homes or groups of homes that are the closest homes to the project construction or staging areas or construction haul routes for short-term project elements and are as follows and shown on Figure : 1. Home closest to south end of Runway 32, east of runway and located adjacent to a pond, about 400 feet from perimeter road construction site, and 1000 feet from the taxiway construction on the southwest side of the end of Runway 32. This home would experience short-term construction noise impacts during the filling of the pond and the construction of the access road. This home has been identified for acquisition in the Master Plan
15 Figure CONSTRUCTION NOISE RECEPTOR SITES
16 2. Home southwest of end of Runway 32 is approximately 200 feet from the access road construction area and 700 feet from the taxiway construction areas located on the southwest side of the south end of Runway 32. This home is identified for acquisition in the Master Plan. 3. Homes northeast of the end of Runway 14. The closest of these is approximately 350 feet from the construction and staging area for the runway lengthening project. The parcels containing the homes in area 3A are necessary for full implementation of the RSAs and are slated for acquisition. However, acquisition may occur after construction commences. The remaining homes shown in area 3B have been identified for acquisition in the Master Plan. 4. Homes west of the airport on the west side of Windsor Road north of Silk Road. These homes are approximately 1600 feet from the runway and access road construction. They are also about 85 feet from Windsor Road, which will likely serve as a truck route during construction. The use of Windsor Road from truck traffic at night may cause short-term construction noise impacts. Some of these homes front to Windsor Road and some are side to Windsor Road. Those that front on Windsor Road have the rear yards shielded from the noise from Windsor Road. 5. The time-share condominiums on Shiloh Road at Skylane Boulevard will be exposed to construction traffic noise from Shiloh Road. These condominiums are treated like a hotel use under the Sonoma County General Plan and are not considered a noise-sensitive use. Table shows the maximum noise levels for each of these five receptor areas for both construction activity and construction traffic.

Any disturbance would be most noticeable during nighttime construction activities. There will be approximately 20 nights of night construction activity during Phase 1 and 15 nights during Phase 2. The longest number of consecutive nights of construction is estimated to be 10 nights. During Phase 1 there would be no night truck trips on to the construction site and during phase
17 2, there would be as many as 80 trucks per night for a total of 3 nights. The night work would consist of: grading and paving at the north end where the two runways intersect; and grading and paving of Taxiway D at the south end of Runway 14/32. This night work is necessitated by the need to work within the runway safety area (RSA). The runway must be closed when work occurs in the RSA. A summary of estimated noise levels in each of the 6 residential areas with potential construction or construction traffic noise impacts is presented in the Table The County of Sonoma does not have a threshold for construction-related noise and does not limit the hours of construction. These issues on considered on a case by case basis. The County Noise Element does have a Table of Maximum Allowable Exterior Noise Exposures for Non-Transportation Noise Sources as shown in Table These limits are not used as a threshold for construction noise, but are used here as an example of how construction noise levels compare to these limits. These are exterior noise levels, measured at the location of outdoor activity areas, not the property line. The outdoor activity area is usually the backyard for single-family homes. Table MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE EXTERIOR NOISE EXPOSURES FOR NON-TRANSPORTATION NOISE SOURCES Hourly Noise Metric dba /a/ Daytime Nighttime (7 a.m. to 10 p.m.) (10 p.m. to 7 a.m.) L50 (30 minutes in any hour) L25 (15 minutes in any hour) L08 (5 minutes in any hour) L02 (1 minute in any hour) /a/ The sound level exceeded n% of the time in any hour. For example, the L50 is the value exceeded 50% of the time or 30 minutes in any hour; this is the median noise level. The L02 is the sound level exceeded 1 minute in any hour., Sonoma County General Plan Noise Element The Noise Element table above effectively limits daytime maximum noise levels to 65 dba and nighttime maximum noise levels to 60 dba. As shown in Tables and , construction noise levels would exceed the Noise Element Maximum Allowable Exterior Noise Exposures for Non-Transportation Noise Sources at all 6 receptor locations. A common source of night construction noise complaints are back-up beepers. These beepers are an important safety feature. The requirements for these beepers is that they be heard above background noise at a distance of 200 feet, or that a flagger be used in lieu of the back up beeper. There is another alternative and that is the use of a backup beeper that adjusts its volume to the ambient noise level. This may be particularly useful at night when background noise levels are typically lower. Potential mitigation measures include the use of flagger in lieu of back up beepers or requiring back-up beepers that adjust level to background noise
18 Temporary construction noise barriers, such as sound blankets may be of some use if they are high enough and have no flanking around the sides. This generally would require a continuous wall of such blankets. While a minimum barrier of this type may provide from 5 to 10 db of noise reduction, it is not practical along the haul roads as the necessary breaks for driveways would create holes in the barrier that would render them mostly ineffective. Mitigation Measure A Develop a construction noise control plan prior to initiation of construction. Night construction work should use back up beepers that adjust to ambient levels or use visual aids (e.g. flaggers or lights) as a substitute for back up beepers. Mitigation Measure B Unless night construction is required, all construction shall be limited to the hours of 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekdays with no construction permitted on weekends or holidays. Even with implementation of the foregoing mitigation, the temporary construction noise impact associated with nighttime construction would be considered significant and unavoidable. However, it should be noted that this impact would be of very short duration, lasting approximately 20 days during Phase I and 15 days during Phase II. Impact : Change in Noise Contours for 2015 The construction of the Proposed Project would not change runway utilization or the flight track allocations compared to the existing conditions. The fleet mix, however, would change to reflect the forecast fleet mix. The 2009 and 2015 fleet mix are listed on Table The Proposed Project would result in a change in the points at which the aircraft touchdown and the points at which aircraft begin the takeoff roll. Changing these aircraft flight characteristics would result in a change in the shape and coverage area of the noise contours relative to existing conditions. The 2015 Proposed Project CNEL contours for the Airport were prepared using the Integrated Noise Model Version 7.0b. These contours are shown in Figure The 2015 Without Proposed Project CNEL contours are shown on Figure for comparison. Table identifies the size of the respective CNEL contours in acres for the Proposed Project. The contour areas for the existing conditions and the 2015 Without Proposed Project are shown for comparison. As shown in Table , the greater than 70 db CNEL noise contour area for the Proposed Project would be slightly larger than the 70 db CNEL noise contour area for Without Proposed Project. However, the 55 db CNEL and greater noise contour area for the Proposed Project would be slightly smaller than the 55 db CNEL and greater noise contour area for Without Proposed Project. This is primarily because the departure threshold is moved north for south-flow traffic (the dominant traffic flow). Moving the Runway 14 landing threshold to the north will have two effects: it will cause the arrival noise to increase north of the Airport and the departure noise to decrease south of the Airport. The area of noise decrease will be larger than the area of noise increase. This shift will increase the
