11 Configuration after the project Brock/Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue area
12 Noise surveys conducted Montréal-Ouest: December 2008: Noise survey Road component (study area of 300 metres from autoroute 20) November 2011: Cumulative noise impact Road and rail components (study area of 300 metres from autoroute 20) 2017: Noise survey Rail component (study area at more than 300 metres from autoroute 20)
13 Some information: Noise indicator Noise level A-weighted L eq,24h (dba) (L = Level and eq = equivalent) Indicator that cumulates all noise variations over a 24-hour period Why use an indicator: Mathematical expression used to represent a complex situation that varies in time and space Makes it possible to measure and compare the sound environment at different geographical points, at different times of the day or year Represents the impact of noise on a person s health and discomfort
14 Noise scale 3 dba barely perceptible variation 5 dba perceptible variation 10 dba double or halves noise level 55 dba et - Recognized as an acceptable level Noise levels do not ad up in a linear manner 2x noise sources 2x noise levels

18 Daily noise variation Noise readings in front of 130 Brock Sud Noise levels recorded between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. (October 25-26, 2017) Daytime (9 a.m. to 3 p.m.) Sources: Passing trains Local and freeway traffic Work Neighbourhood Industrial sources dba
19 Daily noise variation Noise readings in front of 130 Brock Sud Noise levels recorded between 9 p.m. and 3 a.m. (October 25-26, 2017) Evening and nighttime (9 p.m. to 3 a.m.) Sources: Passing trains Local and freeway traffic Work Neighbourhood Industrial sources dba
20 2017: Noise impacts (study area at more than 300 metres from autoroute 20) Observations during noise readings (October 25-26, 2017) Area delimited by Brock, Carnavon, Ballantyne and Avon: Noise from trains passing on CN railways is not the main source of noise Passenger trains are barely or not audible Freight trains are audible but noise is similar to ambient noise Night: freight trains are more easily audible at night since noise levels from roads are reduced
21 2017: Noise impacts Rail component (study area at more than 300 metres from autoroute 20) Before the project 123, av. Ballantyne S. 47 dba 113, av. Brock Sud 47 dba 130, av. Brock Sud 47 dba 151, av. Brock Sud 47 dba 145, av. Ballantyne S. 48 dba CENTRE-VILLE Current noise barrier

23 Mitigation measures After the project Plantation of trees and shrubs Addition of an absorptive material currently being analyzed Current noise barrier Planned noise barriers
24 Noise follow-up: after completion of work Noise follow-up required by government Decree No. 890-2010 (condition No. 15) Must be conducted 1, 5 and 10 years after completion of work (2021, 2026 and 2030) Objectives: Ensure that noise levels from the infrastructure of the Turcot project have not increased since before the project Assess the effectiveness of mitigation measures (noise barriers) If noise levels are too high: Adjustment of measures in place or implementation of new mitigation measures
