NOISE ASSESSMENT REPORT Introduction June 5, 2015 1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1 PURPOSE OF REPORT Stantec Consulting Ltd. has been retained by Tega Homes, to prepare an environmental noise assessment for the development site located at 19 and 23 Bachman Terrace, in the City of Ottawa. A site plan application has been submitted and a Noise Assessment Study is required to address City policies regarding residential development adjacent to arterial and collector roads. The purpose of this report is to: outline the Ministry s guidelines and criteria for noise levels and residential land use; apply the noise level standards of the Ontario Ministry of the Environment to the site in conjunction with the City of Ottawa document Environmental Noise Control Guidelines ; determine the extent to which noise levels will be of concern to future residents of the proposed development, using the computerized version (STAMSON 5.03) of the M.O.E. s noise model; outline recommendations for noise attenuation, as necessary, to achieve acceptable noise levels for future residents of the proposed development. This report has been updated to reflect the comments from the City of Ottawa, issued on June 4, 2014. 1.2 LOCATION The site is located at 19 and 23 Bachman Terrace, north of Hazeldean Road and along Pickford Drive, as illustrated in Figure 1. The proposed development consists of 25 townhome units. This report will focus on the residential units with exposure to Hazeldean Road and Pickford Drive. Surrounding land uses are as follows: north existing residential; east existing residential; south existing commercial; west existing parkland and residential. The main potential noise source that may impact the subject site is vehicular traffic on Pickford Drive, along the north site boundary, and Hazeldean Road to the south. The traffic volumes for Hazeldean Road and Pickford Drive are based on the City of Ottawa document Environmental Noise Control Guidelines. 1

NOISE ASSESSMENT REPORT Observations and Calculations June 5, 2015 The M.O.E. also specifies building component requirements when indoor noise levels exceed the criteria by certain levels. These requirements are summarized in Table 4.

The program accepts variables related to noise sources and receivers, road traffic volumes and the nature and extent of noise attenuation barriers, if required. 3.2 ROAD TRAFFIC VOLUMES Traffic volume data for Hazeldean Road and Pickford Drive were provided by the City of Ottawa document Environmental Noise Control Guidelines. The document indicates that the average annual daily traffic volume for Hazeldean Road will be 50,000 vehicles per day for a 6-lane 5
NOISE ASSESSMENT REPORT Observations and Calculations June 5, 2015 divided urban arterial and Pickford Drive will be 8,000 vehicles per day for a 2-lane urban collector. Additional information regarding applicable assumptions and ratios for day/night traffic and car/ truck traffic is summarized as follows: heavy truck traffic for this segment is estimated to be 5% of total traffic volume; medium truck traffic for this segment is estimated to be 7% of total traffic volume; the rest is assumed to be car traffic; daytime (7 am 11 pm) traffic is assumed to be 92%, with the remaining 8% at night (11 pm 7 am); speed limit for Hazeldean Road is 60 km/hour and for Pickford Drive is 50 km/hour. Table 5 and Table 6 summarize the traffic volumes used for calculations in this report.

For the townhome units with exposure to the road network, calculations were completed assuming the amenity area would be at a 3.0 metre offset from the rear of the units and at a height of 1.5 metres, as shown in Figure 3. The receiver heights for indoor daytime and nighttime noise level calculations for the proposed buildings were completed at the ground level (2.5m above grade) and at the second level (4.5m above grade). These receivers were placed at the most exposed area of the units, as shown in Figure 4 and Figure 5. Unattenuated noise level calculations are provided in Appendix A for daytime and nighttime building face noise levels, as well as, outdoor living area noise levels and have been summarized below.

NOISE ASSESSMENT REPORT Hazledean Road Sensitivity Analysis June 5, 2015 4.0 HAZLEDEAN ROAD SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS In the June 4,2014 Site Plan Application 1 st Engineering Review letter from the City of Ottawa, a request was made to test the potential sensitivity of Hazeldean Road and the blocking commercial-retail site between the subject site and Hazeldean Road. Upon further discussion with City staff, it was determined that the best approach to satisfy this comment was to model the block commercial-retail site as a 2m and 6.5m noise barrier. Table 8 provides a summary of the Hazeldean Road noise levels on the proposed development. Table 8 Sensitivity of Hazeldean Road Noise Levels Receiver Location (Block/Unit) Daytime- Building Face (dba) Nighttime- Building Face (dba) Commercial-Retail as a 2m High Barrier Daytime Noise Clause Nighttime Noise Clause R3 1 58.4 54.5 C C R4 2 58.4 54.9 C C Commercial-Retail as a 6.5m High Barrier R3 1 56.2 49.6 C - R4 2 55.1 48.9 C - Commercial-Retail Blocking 100% of Road Noise R3 1 54.2 47.2 - - R4 2 50.1 43.3 - - The noise levels associated with the 2m barrier scenario exceed both the daytime and nighttime noise level criteria and would require a noise clause C. The assumption that the commercialretail block would act as a 2m barrier is extremely conservative as the building is approximately 6.5m in height and unlikely to reflect the actual conditions in the field. When the commercial-retail block is considered as a 6.5m barrier, reflecting its approximate height, the noise levels exceed the maximum daytime noise criteria of 55dBA at the plane of window by 1.2 and 0.1 dba for Units 1 and 2, respectively. As a result, the units would technically require a clause C. While modeling the commercial-retail block as 6.5m barrier indicates the potential to trigger a clause C, consideration must be given to the AADT assumptions used within the analysis for Hazeldean Road. Hazeldean Road has a cross-section of 6 lanes in the vicinity of the site before reducing to a 4-lane cross-section to the west. The 50,000 vehicle AADT of the 6-lane crosssection is significantly higher than historic traffic volumes (less than 9,000 AADT in 2010) and unlikely to increase by a magnitude of 400-500% to reach the modeled volumes. Therefore, it is 11

NOISE ASSESSMENT REPORT Appendix B Noise Warning Clauses June 5, 2015 WARNING CLAUSES The following warning clauses may be used individually or in combination: TYPE A: Purchasers / tenants are advised that sound levels due to increasing (road) (Transitway) (rail) (air) traffic may occasionally interfere with some activities of the dwelling occupants as the sound levels exceed the City s and the Ministry of the Environment s noise criteria. TYPE B: Purchasers / tenants are advised that despite the inclusion of noise control features in the development and within the building units, sound levels due to increasing (road) (Transitway) (rail) (air) traffic may on occasions interfere with some activities of the dwelling occupants as the sound levels exceed the City s and the Ministry of the Environment s noise criteria. TYPE C: This dwelling unit has been fitted with a forced air heating system and the ducting, etc. was sized to accommodate central air conditioning. Installation of central air conditioning by the occupant will allow windows and exterior doors to remain closed, thereby ensuring that the indoor sound levels are within the City s and the Ministry of the Environment s noise criteria. (Note: The location and installation of the outdoor air conditioning device should be done so as to comply with noise criteria of MOE Publication NPC-216, Residential Air Conditioning Devices and thus minimize the noise impacts both on and in the immediate vicinity of the subject property.) TYPE D: This dwelling unit has been supplied with a central air conditioning system which will allow windows and exterior doors to remain closed, thereby ensuring that the indoor sound levels are within the City s and the Ministry of the Environment s noise criteria.
