5 Environmental Noise Assessment 1020, 1024, 1028, 1032 & 1042 Sixth Line September 30, INTRODUCTION Novus Environmental Inc. (Novus) was retained by Dunpar Homes to conduct an Environmental Noise Assessment for the proposed 1020, 1024, 1028, 1032 & 1042 Sixth Line Road Development, located in Oakville, Ontario. This noise study is to be used to support the Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendment application for the proposed development. 1.1 Nature of the Subject Lands The proposed development is to be located at the intersection of Sixth Line and North Service Road, adjacent to the QEW/Hwy 403 (refer Figure 1). Included with the proposed development is an eleven (11) block townhome complex. Two (2) existing residential homes will remain unchanged within the development. The townhouse units will be three (3) stories in height, each with a private terrace. A copy of the site plan, floor plans and elevations are included in Appendix A. 1.2 Nature of the Surroundings The existing buildings surrounding the development are primarily two-storey single family homes to the north, east and west. To the south is the Sixteen Mile Creek, which is at a sunken elevation of approximately 15 m lower than the development. Commercial/retail land uses are located beyond the Sixteen Mile Creek. Adjacent to the development to the south-east is the QEW/Hwy 403. Five (5) m high noise barriers separate the development from the QEW/Hwy 403. Beyond the QEW/Hwy 403 are commercial/retail lands. The ground topography is essentially flat, with the exception of the drop in elevation for the sixteen mile creek (approx. 15 m). A Context Plan is shown in Figure 1. Novus Environmental 1

6 Environmental Noise Assessment 1020, 1024, 1028, 1032 & 1042 Sixth Line September 30, Surrounding Transportation Noise Impacts 2.1 Transportation Noise Sources Transportation noise sources with the potential to produce noise at the proposed development is the QEW/Hwy 403, located adjacent to the development. Based on traffic counts for Sixth line, a 2000 AADT was determined for total vehicles. Therefore, the Sixth line roadway noise impacts are not anticipated to impact the development, and has not been considered any further. Sound exposure levels at the development due to the QEW/Hwy 403 have been predicted, and this information has been used to identify façade, ventilation, and warning clause requirements. 2.2 Surface Transportation Noise Criteria Ministry of the Environment Publication NPC-300 Noise Sensitive Developments Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change (MOECC) Publication NPC-300 provides sound level criteria for noise sensitive developments. The applicable portions of NPC-300 are Part C Land Use Planning and the associated definitions outlined in Part A Background. Table 1 to Table 3 below summarize applicable surface transportation (road and rail) criteria limits. Location Specific Criteria Table 1 summarizes criteria in terms of energy equivalent sound exposure (Leq) levels for specific noise-sensitive locations. Both outdoor and indoor locations are identified, with the focus of outdoor areas being amenity spaces. Indoor criteria vary with sensitivity of the space. As a result, sleep areas have more stringent criteria than Living / Dining room space. Novus Environmental 2

During the nighttime period, Schools and Daycares are excluded. [4] An assessment of indoor noise levels is required only if the criteria in Table 3 are exceeded. [5] L eq the energy equivalent sound exposure level, integrated over the time period shown. Ventilation and Warning Clauses Table 2 summarizes requirements for ventilation where windows potentially would have to remain closed as a means of noise control. These requirements apply where the sound exposure levels found in Table 2 exceed the guideline limits in Table 1 for indoor spaces. Despite the implementation of ventilation measures where required, some occupants may choose not to use the ventilation means provided, and as such, warning clauses advising future occupants of the potential excess over the Table 1 guideline limits are required. Warning Clauses also apply to the OLA where an excess of up to 5 dba over the 55 dba OLA limit is often acceptable to many, particularly in the context of an urban environment. Warning Clauses are discussed further in Section 2.6. Building Shell Requirements Table 3 provides Leq thresholds which, if exceeded, require the building shell and components (i.e., wall, windows) to be designed and selected accordingly to ensure that the Table 1 indoor location criteria are met.

Summary of Guidelines In summary, roadway noise impacts are to be predicted at the plane-of-window for the proposed development. Providing the plane-of-window sound levels exceed the daytime and nighttime sound levels indicated in Novus Environmental 4

9 Environmental Noise Assessment 1020, 1024, 1028, 1032 & 1042 Sixth Line September 30, 2016 Table 3, the determination of the building façade components is required for meeting the indoor sound level criteria outlined in Table 1. In addition, the ventilation requirements and warning clauses are determined, as outlined in Table 2, based on the plane-of-window noise levels Halton Region The Halton Region guidelines include the Noise Abatement Guidelines Regional Official Plan Guidelines and the Land Use Compatibility Guidelines Regional Official Plan Guidelines, both dated June 18, In general, the Halton Region guidelines are consistent with the MOECC NPC-300 guidelines. Therefore, the guidelines have not been re-iterated. 2.3 Traffic Data and Future Projections Roadway Traffic Data Road traffic data was purchased from the Transportation Services Department of the City of Burlington. The projected 10-year future traffic volumes were determined based on a growth rate of 1% per year, assuming the QEW is reaching capacity. Table 4 summarizes the road traffic volumes used in the analysis. A copy of the traffic data used can be found in Appendix B. Table 4: Summary of Road Traffic Data Used in the Transportation Noise Analysis Notes: 10 yr Day / Night Commercial Traffic Future Volume Split [2] Breakdown [3] Vehicle Roadway Link Volume [1] Speed % Medium % Heavy (km/h) (AADT) Daytime Nighttime Trucks Trucks QEW / Hwy , % 15 % 2.6 % 7.7 % 100 [1] based on MTO traffic counts (SADT). [2] per default MOECC day/night split for regional roads [3] calculated from MTO Commercial Vehicle Flows and default MTO medium/heavy truck split. 2.4 Projected Sound Levels Future road traffic sound levels at the proposed development were predicted using Cadna/A, a commercially available noise propagation modelling software. Roadways were modelled as line sources of sound, propagated using the ISO algorithms, and sound emission rates calculated using the MOECC ORNAMENT algorithms. These predictions were validated and are equivalent to those made using the MOECC s ORNAMENT or STAMSON v5.04 road traffic noise models. Given the minimal absorptive grounds (grass, vegetation, etc.) between the development and the QEW/Hwy 403, reflective ground has been applied. The existing 5 m high traffic noise Novus Environmental 5

10 Environmental Noise Assessment 1020, 1024, 1028, 1032 & 1042 Sixth Line September 30, 2016 barriers were included in the modelling, but were found to have negligible effects. This is due to the overall height of the townhouse units (approx. 12 m total height) Façade Sound Levels Sound levels were predicted along the facades of the townhouse blocks using the building evaluation feature of Cadna/A. This feature allows for noise levels to be predicted across the entire façade of a structure. Facades considered to be non-noise sensitive (e.g. blank walls, bathrooms, etc.) were excluded from the analysis. The predicted noise impacts are shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 for the daytime and nighttime periods, respectively. The maximum sound level predicted for each townhouse block are summarized in the following table. Table 5: Summary of Maximum Predicted Façade Sound Levels by Block Notes: Townhouse Block Model Type Period Maximum Predicted Sound Levels [1] (dba) Block A B Daytime 73 Nighttime 69 Block B C Daytime 70 Nighttime 65 Block C A Daytime 75 Nighttime 70 Block D A Daytime 68 Nighttime 64 Block E A Daytime 67 Nighttime 62 Block F A Daytime 75 Nighttime 70 Block G A Daytime 75 Nighttime 70 Block H A Daytime 76 Nighttime 72 [1] the worst-case impact from all facades of the townhouse block are presented. The façade sound levels are predicted to exceed 65 dba and 60 dba during the daytime and nighttime periods, respectively, on various facades of all townhouse blocks. Therefore, an assessment of building components is required. Novus Environmental 6

11 Environmental Noise Assessment 1020, 1024, 1028, 1032 & 1042 Sixth Line September 30, Outdoor Living Areas Private, elevated terraces are included with each townhouse unit. These terraces have been excluded from the assessment, since the MOECC minimum depth requirement of 4 m is not met. 2.5 Façade Recommendations An assessment of building components is required for both the living room and bedroom spaces for each townhouse block. Room, window and façade dimensions were determined from the current development drawings, included in Appendix A. The indoor sound levels and required Façade Sound Transmission Classes (STCs) were estimated using the procedures outlined in National Research Council Building Practice Note BPN-56. Details associated with the façade calculations are shown in Appendix C. The following table summarizes the required STC ratings for the various room types, by townhouse block.

[2] The worst-case bedroom was used in the analysis [3] STC ratings are applicable to all exterior windows within the space. [4] A Brick Veneer was applied in the analysis. Novus Environmental 7

12 Environmental Noise Assessment 1020, 1024, 1028, 1032 & 1042 Sixth Line September 30, 2016 Upgraded glazing is required from Townhouse Blocks C, F, G and H. The range of STC requirements are from STC30 to STC33, and varies depending on if a unit at the end of a block. Bedroom STC ratings also range from STC30 to STC33. No upgraded glazing is predicted to be required for Blocks A, B, D and E. 2.6 Ventilation and Warning Clause Requirements The requirements regarding warning clauses are summarized in Table 2. Where required, the Warning Clauses must be included in all agreements of purchase and sale or lease, and all rental agreements. Based on the predicted façade noise levels, all unit will will require mandatory air conditioning and a Type D Warning Clause This dwelling unit has been or will be fitted with a central air conditioning system which will enable occupants to keep windows closed if road and or air traffic noise interferes with the indoor activities. 3.0 Surrounding Stationary Noise Impacts Based on a review of the surrounding aerial photography, land uses within a 400 m of the proposed development include Residential and Natural Area zoned lands, with Commercial lands located beyond the 400 m radius. As no significant Industrial land uses are located near the development, a stationary noise assessment is not considered necessary and has not been completed. 4.0 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS The potential for noise impacts on the proposed development have been assessed. Based on the results of the study, the following conclusions have been reached: 4.1 Transportation Noise An assessment of roadway noise impacts has been completed. Façade walls and windows are predicted to require upgrades, as outlined in Section 2.5. Ventilation requirements are recommended as outlined in Section 2.6 and include the requirement for Air Conditioning for all units. Novus Environmental 8

13 Environmental Noise Assessment 1020, 1024, 1028, 1032 & 1042 Sixth Line September 30, 2016 A Type D Warning Clause must be included in all agreements of purchase and sale or lease and all rental agreements for all units, as outlined in Section 2.6 and summarized as follows: This dwelling unit has been or will be fitted with a central air conditioning system which will enable occupants to keep windows closed if road and or air traffic noise interferes with the indoor activities. 4.2 Industrial Stationary Noise The development is primarily surrounded by Residential and Natural Areas, with Commercial uses located beyond these lands. As no significant Industrial land uses are located near the development, a stationary noise assessment was not considered necessary, and has not been assessed. Novus Environmental 9
