The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) requires that all state departments of transportation have an approved policy to identify and address highway noise impacts.  INDOT’s noise policy will be applied to the analysis of noise impacts in each Tier 2 section.  As part of this analysis, noise impacted locations (e.g., homes, schools, businesses, hospitals) that warrant consideration for noise mitigation will be identified; possible noise mitigation for these locations will be evaluated; and reasonable and feasible noise mitigation measures will be incorporated into the project.  These noise mitigation measures will be identified in the Tier 2 Studies and subsequent final design.  (Updated 11/14/07)
