ODOT Noise Compatible Land Use

• Three Phase Study
• Phase 1 technical approach to determine impact
  zones
• Phase 2 presentation of phase 1 study and
  development of strategies guide
• Phase 3 return to the technical approach
  develop a distance warning method
• Fourth Phase statewide implementation

Phase 1 Study

• Completed by Bowlby and Associates
• Examined vacant land uses along I 675 in Green
  County, Ohio
• Regimen of noise readings and modeling to
  determine impact contour distance
• Involved five local jurisdictions
• Bath Township
• City of Beavercreek
• Beavercreek Township
• City of Fairborn
• Sugarcreek Township
