I , . According to FIIWA Policy (wrd similar pending MOOT policy), noise ❑bnlenuml measures will riot be provided for hinds which arc undeveloped on the date of public knowledge of the proposed highway project except whera (1) th0y tunic been planned, designed, and Programmed before the highway studies (and have been only temporarily delayed) or (2) where the development is phmncd, designed, Mad progranuacd during the highway project phnming Mad design; there is a high pros nbiiity of its construction and the developer has considered the noise impmcts to the extent reasonable and practicable. At present no lands meeting either of these two criteria have been identified. Coordination with The "Preliminary Noise Analysis Report" will be Local Officials furnished to federnl, dale, regional and local officials us well as made nvailable to the general public for inspection. Comrnerlls received on the Prcllminary Noise Annlysis Report Its well as the draft EIS will be reviewed and where desirable, incorporated into the preliminary design plans for the selected alternative _ - and into the finnl EIS. Public input (i.e. citizens and municipalities) will be used in the development of the noise abatement plans. The comments will provide input into the "Final Noise Analysis Report" which will also be furnished to local municipalities having jurisdiction along the selected alignment. _ MOOT has furnished all cities, counties, and regional development commissions in Minnesota with copies of — "The Audible Landscape." This handbook provides guidance for land use planning, plat layout, and building design for compatible development near traffic noise. Additional copies are available upon request. - Proposed plats for land adjacent to all Minnesota Stale Highways are submitted to the department for review prior to plat approval. When a potential for noise impact is identified in the review process, it is noted in lie review comments to insure that the approving authority is aware of an existing or possible highway noise impact on proposed noise sensitive areas. Summary Preliminary analysis indicates that (with noise abatement measures) achievement of the MPCA daytime noise standards is feasible for most locations along ::ithcr the Relocated TH 10 or Upgraded TH 10 alignment. The No Build Alternative results in levels exceeding the MPCA daytime standards for most locations along the existing TH 10 alignment. Achievement of the MPCA nighttime noise standards 165
