Environmental Noise and Vibration Assessment March 19, 2013
1.0 Introduction
Novus Environmental Inc. (Novus) was retained by McCormick Rankin (MRC), a member of MMM Group, to assess the potential environment noise and vibration impacts from construction and operation of the proposed Eglinton Light Rail Transit (LRT) project, for the section between East of Black Creek Drive to Jane Street, in Toronto, Ontario. This section includes a Maintenance and Storage Facility (MSF).
1.1 Project Background
1.1.1 2010 Environmental Project Report
In 2008, a Provincial Environmental Assessment under Ontario Regulation (O. Reg.) 231/08, the “Transit Project Assessment Process” Regulation, was initiated for a 33-km light rail transit (LRT) project in the Eglinton Avenue corridor in the City of Toronto. The project, named the Eglinton Crosstown LRT, linked Pearson International Airport in the west to Kennedy Station in the east. It included:
A surface LRT section primarily in the centre of Eglinton Avenue between Pearson International Airport and east of Black Creek Drive; An underground LRT section below Eglinton Avenue from east of Black Creek Drive to east of Brentcliffe Road; A surface LRT section in the centre of Eglinton Avenue between east of Brentcliffe Road and Don Mills Road; A short underground LRT section below Eglinton Avenue at Don Mills Road; and A surface LRT section from Don Mills Road to Kennedy Road.
In Spring 2009, during the planning phase of the Project, the Province of Ontario announced an investment of $8.15B ($2008) for the Eglinton Crosstown LRT and three other LRT lines: Scarborough RT Conversion/Extension, Finch West LRT, and Sheppard East LRT. These projects were part of a wider municipal plan initially known as Transit City, and identified as part of the Top 15 priority projects in the Metrolinx Big Move.
An Environmental Project Report (EPR) was completed in March 2010 under O. Reg. 231/08 and was approved by the Ontario Ministry of the Environment in May of 2010.
About the same time as the approval of the EPR, Metrolinx, the Provincial agency providing funding for the project, had indicated that the project would be divided into two phases at Jane Street due to funding limitations. As a result, the 19-km section from Jane Street to Kennedy Station would receive funding immediately and undergo implementation, while the 14-km section from Jane Street to Pearson International Airport would be deferred. Work has progressed on the first phase of the Project, including commencement in the summer of 2011 of constructing the launch site in which tunnel boring machines will be deployed to build the underground section.

1.1.2 Current Study - 2013 Environmental Project Report Addendum
While undertaking subsequent preliminary design, recommended changes to the initial project have been identified and are being reviewed under O.Reg. 231/08. There are three changes to the project description that require completion of an EPR Addendum. They are:
1. Change in alignment between the tunnel portal location east of Black Creek Drive and Jane Street; 2. A new Maintenance and Storage Facility north of Eglinton Avenue and west of Black Creek Drive; and 3. Change in alignment between Brentcliffe Road and the Don Valley Parkway.
This environmental noise and vibration assessment addresses the potential noise and vibration impacts from operation of the LRT system in the study area; and the potential noise and vibration impacts from construction.
The noise impacts of the entire Eglinton LRT project were previously assessed as part of the Class Environmental Assessment (EA) process. Appendix H of the original EA provides the environmental noise and vibration impact assessment, conducted by J. E. Coulter Associates Ltd., dated February 2010.
This assessment is an update to the original EA for the study section between east of Black Creek Drive to Jane Street, and examines the effects of the revised LRT design in this area. The study area is identified in Figure 1. Key changes in this area include:
Addition of the MSF; Shift of the LRT alignment from the centre median of Eglinton Avenue West to the north side of Eglinton Avenue West right-of-way; New elevated LRT structure over Black Creek and Black Creek Drive; Removal of the previously proposed Black Creek Stop; New Mount Dennis Station located underground at the railway corridor which consolidates the previous Black Creek Drive and Weston Road stations; Surface bus terminal located on the former Kodak Lands; Revised connecting track configuration between the LRT mainline and the proposed MSF; and Extended underground LRT between Mount Dennis Station and a new LRT portal within the centre median of Eglinton Avenue West, just east of Jane Street.
1.2 Key Features Within the Study Area
The proposed LRT line within the study area will consist of at-grade, tunnel, and elevated sections. The LRT line will run along or to just to the north of the existing Eglinton Avenue alignment. Moving from east to west, the proposed LRT line will consist of:
The tunnel portal / connection to Eglinton Avenue, starting at approximately 350 m west of Keele Street, at approx. Station 106+300;
Novus Environmental | 2
Environmental Noise and Vibration Assessment March 19, 2013
An elevated structure, varying between 0 and approximately 6 m above grade, running over Black Creek Drive and Keelesdale Drive, running from approx. Station 106+300 to 105+900; The proposed Mount Dennis Station, located underground, which will include station entrances and ventilation shafts (at approx. Station 105+600, straddling the Canadian Pacific Rail corridor); The Proposed Bus Station and Passenger Pick-Up and Drop-Off (PPUDO), approximately north of the proposed Mount Dennis Station, at the approx. Station 105+700; The Proposed Maintenance Storage Facility (MSF) north of Eglinton Avenue and west of Black Creek Drive, bounded on the west by the Canadian Pacific Railway corridor and Industry Drive on the north; Cross-over boxes are located at grade immediately to the east of the Mount Dennis station (at approx. Station 105+800), and on elevated structure at the crossing of Keelesdale Drive (at approx. Station 106+000); Tunnel section from Mount Dennis Station to a tunnel portal, at approx. Station 105+000; At-grade section from the tunnel portal at approx. Station 105+000, extending at-grade past the western-most edge of the study area.
The approximate location of the track features are shown in Figures 2a and 2b.
The Mount Dennis Station and elevated structure will be constructed using open construction, and the tunnel section from the station to the western portal will be constructed using “cut and cover” techniques. The eastern portion of the tunnel will be constructed using tunnel boring machines (TBMs).
1.3 Nature of the Surrounding Area
In undertaking the review of potential noise and vibration impacts, the study area has been broken up into four sections:
1) Jane Street to Western Portal, which examines impacts from the western study limit (approx. Station 104+700) to the tunnel portal at approx. Station 105+000. 2) Tunnel Section, which examines impacts from the tunnel section, from the western portal to the Mount Dennis Station (from approx. Station 105+000 to approx. Station 105+600). 3) MSF and Stations, which examines impacts surrounding the MSF, including impacts from the Bus Station, PPUDO, Mount Dennis Station, and Vents. 4) Mount Dennis to West of Keele Street, which examines impacts from approx. Station 105+900 to the eastern study limit (approx. Station 106+400).
Figures 3a through 3d are maps showing these sections and highlighting the nature of the surrounding area.

1.3.1 Jane Street to Western Portal
Park land borders Eglinton Avenue to the north and south (see Figure 3a).
1.3.2 Tunnel Section
Along both sides of Eglinton Avenue, there are residential and commercial properties, with high- rise residential just east of the proposed western portal (see Figure 3b). At the intersection of Eglinton Avenue and Weston Road, there is a bank, and 2 churches. The bank will be acquired as part of this project. At the intersection of Eglinton Avenue and the CP/GO Rail line, there is a daycare, which will be acquired as part of this project (see Figure 3b).
1.3.3 MSF and Stations
Eglinton Avenue in this area is significantly in-cut (see Figure 3c). There is a CP/GO Rail line bordering the western edge of the proposed MSF property. Along the southwestern border of the proposed MSF property, there are residential properties, with 2 high-rise residential properties south of the western corner of the proposed site. To the north of the MSF, along Industry Street, there is a church. Southeast of the proposed site, is Keelesdale Drive, which is to be closed as part of this project. The residential property along this street is to be acquired as part of this project.
1.3.4 Mount Dennis to West of Keele Street
Eglinton Avenue is significantly in-cut from Weston Road to Black Creek Drive (see Figure 3d). Eglinton Avenue is bordered by park land for the majority of this section. To the south of the intersection of Eglinton Avenue and Black Creek Drive there is a No Frills. East of the proposed West Launch Shaft, there are residential properties to the south of Eglinton, and the City of York Museum to the north.
2.0 Noise and Vibration Assessment Criteria
The noise and vibration criteria used in this assessment are consistent with those used in the original EA analysis, and are based on protocols developed by the Ministry of the Environment (MOE) and Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) for previous transit system expansions (MOE/TTC 1993, MOE 1995). Additional criteria for ground-borne noise impacts were developed based on criteria from the U.S. Federal Transit Authority (FTA). Details on the guidelines are provided below.

Environmental Noise and Vibration Assessment March 19, 2013
2.1 Noise From LRT Surface Operations
Operational noise limits for LRT cars running on the surface are set under the MOE/TTC “Protocols for Noise and Vibration Assessment” which were developed in 1993. The “Protocol for Noise and Vibration Assessment for the Proposed Eglinton West Rapid Transit Line” sets out the following limits for noise (MOE/TTC 1993).
Points of reception for noise include existing and approved residential development, nursing homes, group homes, hospitals, and other such institutional land uses where people reside. It does not apply to commercial or industrial land uses. Daytime points of reception are any outdoor area where noise from the LRT system may be received, 15 m or more from the track centreline. Night-time points of reception are in the plane of any bedroom window where the noise is received, more than 15 m from the track centreline. The respective guideline limits are shown in the following table:
Table 1: Noise Limits for LRT Surface Operations Time Period Guideline Limit
Daytime (0700‐2300h) 55 dBA Leq (Day), or existing ambient, whichever is higher Night‐time (2300‐0700h) 50 dBA Leq (Night), or existing ambient, whichever is higher Pass‐by 80 dBA Lmax during the pass‐by Mitigation Required: If above limits are exceeded by > 5 dB
Where required, all mitigation measures must ensure that the predicted sound levels are as close to or lower than the above limits as is technologically, economically, and administratively feasible.
2.2 Noise From “Stationary” Operations
The MSF, stations, and associated ventilation shafts are considered to be “Ancillary Facilities” under the MOE / TTC guidelines. The Mount Dennis Station will have an HVAC system for station comfort ventilation, and an emergency fire ventilation system, which will be used to supply air to the stations and tunnel system. Noise from the PPUDO and Bus Station will be dominated by bus activity. Noise from the MSF will include HVAC and LRT activity.
TTC Design Manual DM-0403-00 (TTC 1994) sets out requirements for station ventilation fans. Noise from station ventilation fans (excluding emergency ventilation fans) should not exceed 60 dBA on enclosed platforms. Noise from “Ancillary Equipment” should not exceed 60 dBA at 1 m distance in all public areas.
In addition, for these facilities, MOE Publication NPC-205 noise guidelines apply. These guidelines state that the 1-hour average sound level from the equipment (Leq (1-hr) values measured in dBA), must meet the following limits at all off-site noise sensitive points of reception:
Novus Environmental | 5
March 19, 2013 Environmental Noise and Vibration Assessment
Table 2: Noise Limits for LRT Ancillary Operations (Stations, Vent Shafts) Time Period Guideline Limit
Daytime (0700‐1900h) 50 dBA Leq (1‐hr), or existing ambient, whichever is higher Evening (1900‐2300h) 47 dBA Leq (1‐hr), or existing ambient, whichever is higher Night‐time (2300‐0700h) 45 dBA Leq (1‐hr), or existing ambient, whichever is higher Notes: Limits for Class 1 Urban area are shown
Noise sensitive points of reception include but are not limited to:
Permanent and seasonal residences; Hotels, motels, campgrounds; Noise sensitive institutional uses such as hospitals, daycares, nursing homes, and schools; and Places of worship.
The MOE guidelines require that impacts be assessed for “predictable worst-case operating scenario”. The four tunnel ventilation fans are the dominant noise sources, and will be used in one of three modes:
a) Regular Operations
During regular operations of the LRT system, the fans operate on half (½) speed on a continuous basis during warm days.
b) Emergency Operation
In emergency operation, all fans will operate at full speed. As an emergency, this situation is excluded from the MOE’s noise guidelines.
c) Track Maintenance
During overnight track maintenance, the fans will be operated at three-quarter (¾) speed. The fans could run for extended periods of time between 0200 – 0600h.
d) Testing
Full speed testing of the fans occurs on a weekly basis. The fans are operated in both directions (supply and discharge) at full speed for up to 60 seconds for each direction (2 minute total test time).
From the above, the “predictable worst-case scenario” is the track maintenance operations, which occurs for extended periods of time, during the over-night period. Despite the 2-minute long higher sound level during full speed testing, average hourly sound levels will still be higher for maintenance operations.
The noise guidelines also provide for procedures and adjustments for addressing noise of especially annoying character, such as tonal noise, beats, impulsive noise and quasi-steady impulsive noise

Environmental Noise and Vibration Assessment March 19, 2013
(MOE 1977 a,b). Based on the generic sound data provided for the tunnel ventilation fans (see Section 3.1.2) sound from the ventilation fans will likely be tonal in nature. In accordance with Publication NPC-104 guidelines, a + 5 dB penalty has been applied in predicting noise impacts from these sources (MOE 1978).
2.3 Vibration From LRT Operations
2.3.1 Residential
Ground-borne vibration from LRT operations is addressed under the MOE/ TTC Protocols. Criteria are provided for maximum vibration levels outside of the premises of the receptor (outside of the foundation). Similar to noise, the point of assessment is any outdoor point on the property more than 15 m from the track centreline.
Vibration is measured in terms of root-mean-squared (rms) vibration velocity, in (mm/s). Only vertical axis vibration is included in the assessment. For LRT systems, this is the dominant direction of vibration excitation.
The guideline limit for vibration is 0.10 mm/s rms. When vibration levels are predicted to exceed this threshold, then mitigation measures need to be investigated and implemented if they are technically, economically, and administratively feasible.
In terms of human perception, a 0.10 mm/s vibration velocity level is just perceptible for most people.
2.3.2 Vibration-Sensitive Industrial / Commercial Uses
Meeting the vibration perceptibility criteria of 0.10 mm/s discussed above is generally more than adequate for most commercial and industrial uses, which are usually less vibration-sensitive than residential uses (ISO, 1985). However, in some situations, where vibration-sensitive equipment is in use, such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machines, or scanning electron microscopes, stricter limits are required.
For these types of installations, the vibration criteria (VC) curves are widely accepted as a basis for evaluating potential impacts at facilities where vibration-free performance is critical (Gordon 1999).
The limits are provided in terms of rms vibration velocity, in 1/3rd-octave frequency bands. For a site to comply with a particular equipment category, the measured one-third octave band velocity spectrum must lie below the appropriate criterion curve shown in Figure 4. Maximum allowed vibration levels and the types of suitable uses are discussed in Table 3 below.
Novus Environmental | 7
March 19, 2013 Environmental Noise and Vibration Assessment
Table 3: Vibration Criteria for Vibration Sensitive Uses Maximum Criterion Curve Allowable Vibration Description of Use (See Figure 1) Level Above 8 Hz (mm/s., rms) Workshop Distinctly perceptible vibration. Appropriate for general 0.800 (ISO 2613) industrial uses. Office Perceptible vibration. Appropriate for offices and non‐sensitive 0.400 (ISO 2613) areas. Barely perceptible vibration. Appropriate to sleep areas in most Residence, Day 0.200 instances. Probably adequate for computer equipment, probe (ISO 2613) test equipment and low‐power (to 20X) microscopes. Adopted for Residential Uses (overall vibration) in this Operating Theatre/ Assessment (MOE/TTC) Limit of Human 0.100 Vibration is imperceptible. Suitable for sensitive sleep areas. Perception Suitable in most instances for microscopes to 100X and for (ISO 2613) other equipment of low sensitivity. Adequate in most instances for optical microscopes to 400X, VC‐A 0.051 microbalances, optical balances, proximity and projection aligners, etc. An appropriate standard for optical microscopes to 1000X, VC‐B 0.025 inspection and lithography equipment (including steppers) to 3 micron line widths. A good standard for most lithography and inspection VC‐C 0.013 equipment to 1 micron detail size. Suitable in most instances for the most demanding equipment VC‐D 0.006 including electron microscopes (TEMs and SEMs) and E‐Beam systems, operating to the limits of their capability. Suitable in most instances for the most demanding equipment VC‐E 0.003 including electron microscopes (TEMs and SEMs) and E‐Beam systems, operating to the limits of their capability. Notes: Adopted from Gordon, 1999. Levels are measured in 1/3rd-octave bands between 8 Hz and 100 Hz. Maximum allowable vibration levels below 8 Hz increase at 2v per doubling of frequency (where v is the allowed rms velocity), unless the equipment incorporates pneumatic isolation. For example, the limit at 4 Hz for VC-A equipment is (2 x 50 at 8 Hz) = 100 mm/s rms,
2.4 Ground-Borne Noise from LRT Operations
Ground-borne noise is created by ground-borne vibration transmitting into a building structure and causing the surface of interior walls and structural member to vibrate, resulting in potentially audible noise. According to the MOE/ TTC protocol, it is unlikely that audible ground-borne noise will result from vibration levels that meet the 0.10 mm/s rms residential vibration criterion. Vibration levels of 0.20 mm/s rms should generate indoor sound levels less than 35 dBA, which is reasonable for sleeping and unlikely to disturb residences (FTA 2006).

Environmental Noise and Vibration Assessment March 19, 2013
2.5 Construction Noise
2.5.1 Provincial Policy
The MOE stipulates limits on noise emissions from individual items of equipment, rather than for overall construction noise. In the presence of persistent noise complaints, sound emission standards for the various types of construction equipment used on the project should be checked to ensure that they meet the specified limits contained in MOE Publication NPC-115 – “Construction Equipment”, as follows (MOE, 1977a):
Table 4: NPC-115 Maximum Noise Emission Levels for Typical Construction Equipment Maximum Sound Level [1] Type of Unit Distance (m) Power Rating (kW) (dBA) 83 15 < 75 Excavation Equipment [2] 85 15 > 75 Pneumatic Equipment [3] 85 7 ‐ Portable Compressors 76 7 ‐ Notes: [1] Maximum permissible sound levels presented here are for equipment manufactured after Jan. 1, 1981. [2] Excavation equipment includes bulldozers, backhoes, front end loaders, graders, excavators, steam rollers and other equipment capable of being used for similar applications. [3] Pneumatic equipment includes pavement breakers.
2.5.2 City of Toronto Noise Bylaw
The City of Toronto Noise By-law 111-2003 (as amended) includes provisions for addressing construction noise (Toronto 2003). Section 591-2.1 (C) addresses major transit projects, including the Eglinton Crosstown LRT project under review here.
No other provisions of the noise by-law apply to the project with the exception of (C) 3, which states that “All civil construction activities shall occur between 7:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m., except in the case of an emergency ...”
This time restriction does not apply to the welding or installation of rail, tunneling by tunnel boring machines ("TBM"), or other related rail and tunnel activities.
2.6 Construction Vibration
Construction vibration within the City is controlled by By-law 514-2008, which provides limits on maximum allowable vibration levels for construction and demolition activities (Toronto, 2008). The vibration limits are shown in the following table:
Novus Environmental | 9
March 19, 2013 Environmental Noise and Vibration Assessment
Table 5: City of Toronto Vibration By-law – Construction Vibration Limits Frequency of Vibration Maximum Allowable Peak Particle Velocity (mm/s) < 4 Hz 8 4 Hz to 10 Hz 15 > 10 Hz 25
The by-law identifies requirements for:
a) Preliminary studies of vibration impacts; b) The identification of a “vibration zone of influence”, where such a zone will extend beyond the property line / legal boundary of the construction site; c) The existence within the zone of influence of any buildings that have been designated under the Ontario Heritage Act; d) Pre-construction consultation with property owners within the zone of influence; e) Pre-construction measurements of ambient background vibration levels, and site inspections; and f) Development of a monitoring plan and continuous measurements of construction vibration during activities which may affect off-site receptors.
The vibration Zone of Influence is identified in the bylaw as the area beyond the property line of the construction site where vibration levels may exceed 5 mm/s.
It should be noted that vibration meeting the limits in Table 5 would be perceptible during the construction activity.
3.0 Assessment Procedures
As discussed previously, impacts were evaluated in four sections of the route:
1) Jane Street to Western Portal (Report Section 4), which examines impacts from the western study limit (approx. Station 104+700) to the tunnel portal at approx. Station 105+000. 2) Tunnel Section (Report Section 5), which examines impacts from the tunnel section, from the western portal to the Mount Dennis Station (from approx. Station 105+000 to approx. Station 105+600). 3) MSF and Stations (Report Section 6), which examines impacts surrounding the MSF, including impacts from the Bus Station, PPUDO, Mount Dennis Station, and Vents. 4) Mount Dennis to West of Keele Street (Report Section 7), which examines impacts from approx. Station 105+900 to the eastern study limit (approx. Station 106+400).

Environmental Noise and Vibration Assessment March 19, 2013
3.1 Operational Noise Modelling
3.1.1 Surface Operations
Noise from surface LRT operations was modelled using a spreadsheet implementation of the FTA algorithms (FTA 2006). Noise emissions calculated using FTA were used as inputs for Cadna/A, a software implementation of the ISO 9613 noise propagation algorithms (ISO 1993, 1996). The modelling method accounts for:
Source emission data/ specification of the proposed LRT vehicle (82 dBA at 7.5 m, 40 km/h); Projected LRT vehicle speed (60 km/h); Distance attenuation; Screening effects of buildings, noise barriers, and topography; and Ground attenuation.
LRT vehicle specifications were assumed to be the same as those in sub-appendix D of the 2010 EPR Noise Report (EPR Appendix H).
LRT Vehicle Movements
A total of 488 LRT vehicle movements per day were anticipated in the 2010 noise analysis (448 during the day, based on 4 min 20 sec headways, and 40 during the nighttime, based on 6 minute headways).
Other Roadway Traffic
Traffic data for major area roadways was obtained from MRC. Road traffic noise emission levels were calculated using the “Ontario Road Noise Analysis Method for Environmental Transportation (ORNAMENT)” algorithms (MOE 1989). Noise emissions calculated using ORNAMENT were used as inputs for Cadna/A, a software implementation of the ISO 9613 noise propagation algorithms.
Copies of the traffic data used in the analysis can be found in Appendix A.
3.1.2 “Stationary” Operations
Operational noise impacts from the MSF, stations, and associated ventilation equipment were modelled using Cadna/A, a computerized version of the internationally recognized ISO 9613 environmental noise propagation algorithms. Noise modelling based on ISO 9613 is the preferred approach of the MOE. The modelling method accounts for:
Distance attenuation; Source characteristics and directivity; Screening effects of buildings, noise barriers, and topography; Atmospheric absorption; Ground attenuation; and
Novus Environmental | 11
March 19, 2013 Environmental Noise and Vibration Assessment
Worst-case meteorological conditions (downwind, under a light temperature inversion).
The ISO 9613 noise model therefore provides a reasonable worst-case assessment of potential noise impacts, in that actual noise impacts at any given point of reception would generally be less than those predicted.
As described in ISO 9613-2, ground factor values that represent the effect of ground absorption on sound levels range between 0 and 1. Based on the specific site conditions, the ground factor values used in the modelling were a ground factor value of 0 for acoustically hard surfaces, such as asphalt and concrete, with absorptive areas (grass, trees, etc.) drawn in as local areas of ground absorption equal to 1. A default temperate of 10 ºC and 70 % relative humidity, typical of average Ontario conditions, were also used.
It should be noted that the current station design includes extending the tunnel fan and HVAC fan ventilation shafts above grade to the roof of the main entrance and secondary entrance buildings. Since emergency fire ventilation fans are assumed to be the dominant noise sources at the stations, HVAC impacts were modelled separately in order to recommend a maximum allowable sound power level for the HVAC noise emissions (the remaining sound energy between emergency fire vent impacts and the maximum allowable noise level / criteria).
Sound Emission Data
Bus activity at the proposed bus station is based on measurements of bus activity from previous studies. Bus operations were split into movements, accelerations, and idling, based on detailed queuing information provided by MRC. Bus operations are not currently planned between the hours of 01:00 and 06:00.
Noise from surface LRT operations was modelled using a spreadsheet implementation of the FTA algorithms. Noise emissions calculated using FTA were used as inputs for Cadna/A, a software implementation of the ISO 9613 noise propagation algorithms. The modelling method accounts for:
Projected LRT vehicle speed within the MSF (10 km/h); Distance attenuation; Screening effects of buildings, noise barriers, and topography; and Ground attenuation.
Base sound emission data and silencer performance for the emergency fire ventilation fans were the same as those used in the 2010 EPR study, for ¾ speed operation, typical of night-time maintenance usage.

HVAC noise sources were not modelled using predicted sound level data; instead, maximum allowable sound level emissions were calculated to be the difference between the predicted emergency fire ventilation impacts and the relevant noise criteria.
Ambient Noise Levels and Applicable Guideline Limits
As discussed previously in Section 2.2, the applicable guideline limits for operational noise are the higher of the background ambient sound levels (generally due to road traffic) and the NPC-205 guideline minima.
Noise-sensitive receptors representative of worst-case impacts (highest potential sound levels from LRT station vents and lowest ambient noise levels) were identified. Traffic data for major area roadways was obtained from MRC. The lowest night-time one-hour average sound levels due to road traffic were then modelled using methods consistent with the “Ontario Road Noise Analysis Method for Environmental Transportation (ORNAMENT)” algorithms. For stationary operations including bus activity, ambient noise from between the hours of 01:00 and 06:00 was excluded from consideration. All other modelling scenarios were modelled including all potential hours of the day.
Copies of the traffic data used in the analysis can be found in Appendix A.
3.2 Operational Vibration Modelling
Vibration from surface LRT operations was modelled using a spreadsheet implementation of the U.S. Federal Transit Authority (FTA) environmental vibration model (FTA 2006). The model accounts for a number of factors including:
Vehicle type and speed; Track type and condition; Presence of special track work such as double-ended pocket tracks or crossovers; Track bed vibration mitigation treatments such as floating slabs, ballast mats, or resilient fasteners / ties; and Distance from the track and the nature of the propagation path.
The vibration impact assessment assumes the track will be constructed using current TTC track bed and “double tie” designs, which reduce ground-borne noise and vibration. In accordance with the MOE/TTC guidelines, the assessment also assumes the vehicles are in good operating condition, with minimal wheel flats, operating on well-maintained rail, with minimal rail corrugation.
Novus Environmental | 13
March 19, 2013 Environmental Noise and Vibration Assessment
Operational vibration impacts were estimated assuming a complete lack of coupling losses – losses related to transmission from ground to building. In practice, vibration levels inside a residence are lower than those measured outside the building at grade. However, MOE/TTC guidelines require vibration criteria to be met outside the residence, at grade. Coupling losses for a standard wood- framed house have the potential to lead to vibration impacts approximately 2 times lower those outside of the structure.
Despite this conservative assumption, mitigation has been recommended in all areas showing an excess over City of Toronto vibration limits.
3.3 Construction Noise Modelling
Similar to operational noise impacts from the site ventilation equipment, noise impacts from construction activity were modelled using a software implementation of the internationally recognized ISO 9613 environmental noise propagation algorithms. The potential impacts of from the generic types of equipment anticipated to be in use were predicted.
3.4 Construction Vibration Modelling
Vibration impacts from surface construction equipment and the tunnel boring machine were predicted based on levels for generic types of construction equipment measured at various distances from the source, published in the literature (Wiss 1981, FTA 2006). This was used to identify a “zone of influence” per City of Toronto Noise Bylaw requirements.
4.0 Jane Street to Western Portal
The West Portal will be located approximately 350 m to the east of the intersection of Eglinton Avenue and Jane Street. See Figure 3a.
4.1 Operational Noise
4.1.1 LRT Surface Operations
Future “build” (with the LRT project in place) and future “no-build” (without the project) daytime and night-time sound levels resulting from the LRT operation were predicted using the LRT and ISO 9613 noise models. The results are tabulated below in Tables 8 and 9.

Figures 5a and 5b show operational noise levels for the LRT line in terms of change from “future no- build” conditions. As the change between the two scenarios is less than 5 dB at all noise-sensitive receptors, under the applicable MOE/ TTC noise guidelines, noise mitigation measures are not required.
4.1.2 “Stationary” Operations
Not applicable in this area.
4.2 Operational Vibration
With respect to the EA Approved Plan, the location of the proposed tunnel is relatively unchanged in this area. Ground-borne vibration will be generated by underground operations of the LRT travelling through the tunnels and station. In assessing the potential for impacts, worst-case speeds of 60 km/h have been assumed, of an LRT vehicle passing through without stopping. The distances required to meet the criteria are provided in Table 10 below.

March 19, 2013 Environmental Noise and Vibration Assessment
Figure 6 presents the predicted vibration levels versus distance for the area. There is no special track work proposed in the area. A review of the surrounding land uses indicates no particularly vibration sensitive uses in the area.
Based on the horizontal setbacks from the track centrelines, vibration impacts from normal operations were predicted to potentially exceed residential requirements along the first row of residences. However, track cross-section drawings indicate that the track will be significantly below grade in areas where the excesses have the potential to occur. As a result, actual setbacks from track to receivers are expected to exceed the critical distances outlined in Table 10 above. Therefore, mitigation is not anticipated to be required in this area.
4.3 Construction Noise
Surface construction will be required in the area. Above-ground construction activity may include:
Removal of overburden; Front end loaders and trucks for removal of material from the site; and Backfilling, finishing, repaving, and landscaping.
Construction noise levels will vary over time, as the activities at the site change. Worst-case sound levels from construction activity, at the closest noise-sensitive receptors, will range from:
58 dBA to 87 dBA, for removal of original surface (including a +10 dB annoyance penalty to the hoe ram / mounted impact hammer). 57 dBA to 68 dBA, for general excavation and removal of material.
In order to minimize the potential for construction noise complaints, a Construction Code of Practice, as outlined in Section 8.3, should be followed.
4.4 Construction Vibration
Under the City of Toronto vibration by-law, the construction vibration zone of influence is the area where vibration from construction activity is likely to exceed 5 mm/s ppv. Table 11 provides the typical setback distances required to meet 5 mm/s from various types of construction activity.

Vibration from pile driving and other general construction activities will not affect any surrounding structures.
Under the terms of the City Vibration By-law, a vibration control form should be provided with the Building Permit or Demolition Permit application.
5.0 Tunnel Section
The Tunnel Section from the West Portal to the Mount Dennis Station is shown in Figure 3b. Since all “stationary” noise sources are considered cumulatively, noise impacts from Mount Dennis Station are considered in Section 6: MSF and Stations.

With respect to the EA Approved Plan, the location of the proposed tunnel is shifted to the north. Where the previous alignment was along the Eglinton Avenue right-of-way centreline, the proposed tunnel alignment will be just to the north of the roadway.
The distances required to meet the criteria are provided in Table 10 in Section 4.2. Figure 8 presents the predicted vibration levels versus distance for the area around the station. There is no special track

March 19, 2013 Environmental Noise and Vibration Assessment work proposed in the area. A review of the surrounding land uses indicates no particularly vibration sensitive uses in the area. The MOE/TTC guideline limit is predicted to be met, and as a result, no adverse vibration impacts from normal operations are anticipated.
5.3 Construction Noise
Cut-and-cover construction will be required along the majority of the Tunnel Section. Cut-and-cover construction activity may include:
Installation of secant or soldier piling, to hold up the sides of excavations; Removal of overburden, excavation of foundations and excavation for vent shafts and stairway shafts; Front end loaders and trucks for removal of material from the site; Concrete trucks and pumps for foundation and building construction; and Backfilling, finishing, repaving, and landscaping.
Construction noise levels will vary over time, as the activities at the site change. Worst-case sound levels from construction activity, at the closest noise-sensitive receptors, will range from:
79 dBA to 108 dBA, for removal of original surface (including a +10 dB annoyance penalty to the hoe ram / mounted impact hammer). 77 dBA to 99 dBA, for pile driving. 78 dBA to 89 dBA, for general excavation and removal of material.
In order to minimize the potential for construction noise complaints, a Construction Code of Practice, as outlined in Section 8.3, should be followed.
5.4 Construction Vibration
Figure 9 shows the areas of influence for impact pile driving (30 m) and general construction activity (8 m). For tabulated values, see Table 10 in Section 4.4.
Vibration from pile driving and other general construction activities at the Station could affect buildings along Eglinton Avenue.
Under the terms of the City Vibration By-law, a vibration control form should be provided with the Building Permit or Demolition Permit application. Pre-construction consultation, vibration monitoring, and site inspections will likely be required. Monitoring will be required during construction.
6.0 MSF and Stations
The Proposed MSF will be located north of Eglinton Avenue and west of Black Creek Drive, bounded on the west by the Canadian Pacific Railway corridor and Industry Drive on the north. The proposed
Novus Environmental | 18
Environmental Noise and Vibration Assessment March 19, 2013
Mount Dennis Station, located underground, will be located straddling the Canadian Pacific Rail corridor. The Proposed Bus Station and Passenger PPUDO, will be located north of the Mount Dennis Station, and south of the MSF. See Figure 3c.
6.1 Operational Noise
6.1.1 LRT Surface Operations
Not applicable in this area. All LRT surface operations within this area are considered in Section 7: Mount Dennis to West of Keele Street. Surface LRT traffic within the MSF is considered part of the “stationary” impacts addressed below.
6.1.2 “Stationary” Operations
Stationary noise sources have been assessed cumulatively. Cumulative noise impacts include Bus Station activity (idling, and accelerations), HVAC and ventilation noise from the Mount Dennis Station, and LRT activity at the MSF (LRT movements, including consideration for special trackwork).
Based on the current configuration of the MSF there is a potential for wheel squeal to occur at some turns within the MSF. Since wheel squeal mechanisms and noise levels can vary greatly based on site and vehicle specific configurations, it is not possible to predict wheel squeal noise impacts to a high degree of certainty without a field investigation or further information on the vehicle and rail profile configurations. A variety of measures exist to control wheel squeal at source including but not limited to:
a) rail lubrication – grease, water, sand; b) wheel damping; c) rail fastenings and profiles; d) track curvature radius; e) railcars with radial bogies; f) changes to site layout; and g) gauge widening.
Based on conversations with MRC, wheel squeal will be addressed within the MSF. Therefore, noise emissions related to wheel squeal have not been considered further.
The number, size and location of required HVAC equipment at the MSF is unknown at this time. As part of the detailed design, the equipment should be selected and located such that the cumulative noise impact of the equipment at the closest residential receptor does not exceed 35 dBA.
The locations of the closest noise sensitive receptors are shown in Figure 10. Predicted off-site noise levels are shown in Figure 10. Compliance at worst case receptors are highlighted in Table 12. The existing CP Rail / GO Transit rail line does not currently include rail noise barriers. However, as part of another Metrolinx / GO Transit project, barriers have been recommended to the southwest of the rail corridor in order to reduce noise impacts at residences to the south and west of the proposed
Novus Environmental | 19

As shown in the above table, excesses over the guideline limits are expected in a number of areas. Therefore, mitigation investigation is recommended in this area.
6.1.3 Potential Mitigation Options
Potential options for mitigating stationary source noise impacts include the installation of noise barriers surrounding the Bus Station, and/or upgrading the currently planned noise barriers to the west of the existing CP Rail / GO Transit rail line. Two potential mitigation options are presented in Figures 11a and 11b.
Option 1 3 barriers surrounding the proposed Bus Station (7.0 m, 4.5 m, and 5.0 m)
Option 2 1 barrier to the northwest of the proposed Bus Station (7.0 m), and 1 upgraded GO Transit barrier to south of Eglinton Avenue

As shown in Figures 11a and 11b, either of the above mitigation options will lead to compliance at surrounding noise sensitive receptors. Table 13 shows mitigated noise impacts at worst-case receptors, for each of the above 2 options.

7.1.1 LRT Surface Operations
Future “build” (with the LRT project in place) and future “no-build” (without the project) daytime and night-time sound levels resulting from the LRT operation were predicted using the LRT and ISO 9613 noise models. The results are tabulated below in Tables 8 and 9.

7.3 Construction Noise
The first stage of construction will involve the excavation of the TBM launch portal. This will involve the installation of excavation shoring, soldier piles, and/or secant piles, followed by excavation. Once the TBMs are in place and operating, approximately 10 trucks per hour will be used to ship off-site the material excavated by the units. TBM excavation will take approximately 3 years to complete.
Cut-and-cover and open construction will be required for the remainder of this section. Construction activity may include:
Installation of secant or soldier piling, to hold up the sides of excavations; Removal of overburden, excavation of foundations and excavation for vent shafts and stairway shafts; Front end loaders and trucks for removal of material from the site; Concrete trucks and pumps for foundation and building construction; and Backfilling, finishing, repaving, and landscaping.
Construction noise levels will vary over time, as the activities at the site change. Worst-case sound levels from construction activity, at the closest noise-sensitive receptors, will range from:
67 dBA to 96 dBA, for removal of original surface (including a +10 dB annoyance penalty to the hoe ram / mounted impact hammer). 52 dBA to 74 dBA, for pile driving. 66 dBA to 77 dBA, for general excavation and removal of material.
In order to minimize the potential for construction noise complaints, a Construction Code of Practice, as outlined in Section 8.3, should be followed.
7.4 Construction Vibration
Figure 16 shows the areas of influence for impact pile driving (30 m), general construction activity (8 m) and tunnel boring (3 m). For tabulated values, see Table 10 in Section 4.4.
Vibration from tunnel boring in the area should be less than 5 mm/s ppv at all building foundations. Vibration from pile driving and other general construction activities will not affect any surrounding structures.
Under the terms of the City Vibration By-law, a vibration control form should be provided with the Building Permit or Demolition Permit application.

8.0 Conclusions
8.1 Operational Noise
8.1.1 Surface Operations
Noise from LRT surface operations is predicted to meet the requirements of the applicable MOE/TTC guideline limits at all noise sensitive locations. No further investigation of noise mitigation is required.
8.1.2 “Stationary” Operations
Ventilation Noise
Based on the “generic” sound power emission data and silencer insertion loss data used in this assessment (Section 3.1.2), the emergency fire ventilation fans are predicted to meet the applicable MOE NPC-205 guideline limits at all noise sensitive locations.
Should noise emissions or operations vary significantly from those outlined above, noise impacts should be reassessed to assure compliance with all relevant legislative requirements.
MSF
Based on the modelled noise impacts from MSF activity, noise impacts are not anticipated.
However, it is recommended that HVAC equipment be chosen in order to minimize impacts at surrounding noise sensitive areas. HVAC selection recommendations are provided in Section 6.
There is the potential for wheel squeal to occur at some turns within the MSF. If observed, wheel squeal will be addressed through mitigation measures outlined in Section 6.1.3.
Bus Station and PPUDO
Bus activity at the Bus Station is anticipated to lead to noise levels exceeding guideline limits at some locations. Mitigation is recommended to deal with noise impacts from bus activity. Two potential mitigation options are provided in Section 6, using noise barriers.
8.2 Operational Vibration
The MOE/TTC guideline limit of 0.10 mm/s rms is predicted to be met at all locations. Therefore, no adverse vibration impacts from normal operations are anticipated.
8.3 Construction Noise
Construction noise impacts are temporary in nature, and largely unavoidable. Although for some periods and types of work, construction noise will be noticeable, with adequate controls, impacts can
Novus Environmental | 25
March 19, 2013 Environmental Noise and Vibration Assessment be minimized. This section of the report provides an evaluation of noise impacts from construction, and recommends a Code of Practice to minimize impacts.
To minimize the potential for construction noise impacts, it is recommended that provisions be written into the contract documentation for the contractor, as outlined below:
Construction should be limited to the time periods allowed by the locally applicable bylaws (0700h to 2300h, except in the case of emergencies). If construction activities are required outside of these hours, the Contractor must seek permits / exemptions directly from the City of Toronto in advance. There should be explicit indication that Contractors are expected to comply with all applicable requirements of the contract and local noise by-laws. Enforcement of noise control by-laws is the responsibility of the Municipality for all work done by Contractors. All equipment should be properly maintained to limit noise emissions. As such, all construction equipment should be operated with effective muffling devices that are in good working order. The Contract documents should contain a provision that any initial noise complaint will trigger verification that the general noise control measures agreed to are in effect. In the presence of persistent noise complaints, all construction equipment should be verified to comply with MOE NPC-115 guidelines, as outlined in Section 2.5.1. In the presence of persistent complaints and subject to the results of a field investigation, alternative noise control measured may be required, where reasonably available. In selecting appropriate noise control and mitigation measures, consideration should be given to the technical, administrative and economic feasibility of the various alternatives. All blasts should be designed to meet any applicable overpressure and vibration limits established by the MOE in Publication NPC-119 and by the MTO in OPSS 120.
8.4 Construction Vibration
Under the terms of the City Vibration By-law, a vibration control form should be provided with the Building Permit or Demolition Permit application. Pre-construction consultation, vibration monitoring, and site inspections will likely be required. Monitoring will be required during construction.
Zones of influence for construction activities (the area where vibration levels may exceed 5 mm/s ppv) are shown in the construction vibration sections of the report. Care should be given where structures are identified to be located within the zone of influence.

Notes:
• Residential criterion adopted for this assessment is MOE / TTC Protocol value of 0.100 mm/s rms for overall vibration (all frequencies combined). Assuming impacts mainly occur in a narrow Workshop (ISO) 1 frequency range above 8 Hz (as is typical), then the overall limit would be equivalent to the 1/3rd‐octave band frequency limit shown in the chart. Office (ISO) • General office space and industrial workshop spaces can tolerate greater vibration levels than Residential Day (ISO) rms)
residential spaces (ISO 2631).
MOE/TTC, Operating Theatre (ISO) • Specific vibration‐sensitive industrial or commercial (mm/s, 0.1 uses may require stricter limits, depending in the nature of the operation. The Vibration Criteria (VC) VC‐A, 50 micrometers

Hi Scott,
Attached are the traffic growth rates provided by the City for the LRT West Section study area.
Sorry for the delay in getting this to you; I thought that we had sent it earlier.
Thanks, Andrew

Andrew –
Here is the response from the City regarding your request for future traffic data.

1 Hi David,
Below are the annual rates of change as calculated using the City's 2001 and 2031 AM peak hour auto driver simulations for the Eglinton Crosstown LRT project. These rates have been individually calculated for the northbound and southbound directions for the following roads, north and south of Eglinton Ave:
1. Jane St 2. Weston Rd 3. Black Creek Dr 4. Keele St
A fifth road, Bicknell Ave/Municipal Dr, was requested but this road isn't in our networks. Also requested was AADT information that we don't have.
These annual rates can be used to estimate the change in base year traffic counts to the desired 2020 horizon year.
Jane St Weston Rd Black Creek Dr Keele St Annual rate of change NB SB NB SB NB SB NB SB North of Eglinton 0.2% 0.2% 0.5% 0.1% 1.1% 1.3% 0.1% 0.4% South of Eglinton 0.5% 0.2% 0.1% -0.1% 0.6% 0.7% 0.4% 0.3%
I hope this helps.
Vince

Further to our conversation yesterday afternoon, please send the information identified below for the year 2031, the horizon year of the Official Plan. Our Consulant will then extrapolate to the year 2020. As a check, the Consulant will also use base counts and increase those counts by 1% per year to 2020.
Thanks.

Good morning Mike.
I am following up to my earlier request regarding traffic information. Are you able to provide the information requested below? 2

Good afternoon Mike.
As you may know, the Transit Expansion Department and Metrolinx are undertaking an addendum to the Eglinton Crosstown LRT Environmental Project Report (EPR) between the area of the West Launch Site at Keelesdale Park and Jane Street. As part of that addendum effort, our consultant has requested a number of data elements that might reside with your group. The requested elements are:
Peak Hour and AADT link volumes for the year 2020 (from your EMME/2 model?), for the following road links: Jane Street N/S of Eglinton Ave Weston Road N/S of Eglinton Ave Black Creek Drive N/S of Eglinton Ave Bicknell Ave/Municipal Dr N/S of Eglinton Ave Keele St/Trethewey Dr N/S of Eglinton Ave
I realize the Official Plan horizon year is 2031, so if interpolation is needed, the consultant can perform that effort. If the data shows traffic growth rates instead of volumes, we can accept that.
Please contact me if you have any questions.
