Project Number:
2747Lincoln Street Storage Facility
SERVICE:
Air Quality and Noise Analysis
DESCRIPTION:
BL Companies needed air and noise studies for a proposed Lincoln Street storage facility. The project entailed a 115,032 square foot self-storage facility with 986 units and 10 parking spaces, with a subdivision of 8500 sf to allow for 4 residential units on one corner of the site.
Tech performed a microscale analysis for any project intersection where the LOS and projected project traffic impacts met the Boston Redevelopment Authority (BRA) selection criteria. The microscale analysis followed the latest Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP) guidance and a modeling protocol for the analysis was prepared for the BRA.
An analysis was also made of the potential noise impacts from the exterior mechanical equipment for the proposed project to demonstrate that the projected noise levels from the building's exterior mechanical equipment will not exceed specified City of Boston noise control criteria at the nearest residences and at the property line.
