\\MABOS\projects\11381.00\reports\Article80\ Expanded_PNF\04_Environmental_FINAL.do c Vanasse Hangen Brustlin, Inc. The Point, Boston Identification of truck waiting areas Police officer traffic management Construction graphics program Interim traffic operation improvements Definition of street and sidewalk occupancies Definition of work hours Construction Trip Generation and Worker Parking The number of workers required during the construction will vary with an estimated average daily workforce of 350 to 400 during the peak of construction. Because the workforce will arrive and depart prior to peak commuter traffic periods, these trips are not expected to have a large impact on the area’s transportation system. Construction workers will arrive at the job site either via public transportation or by personal vehicles. Limited parking will be available at the project construction site. The Proponent and the Construction Manager will work to identify off-site and shuttle bus parking opportunities for workers. Truck Routes and Volumes The vehicular access to the project site during the construction period will be from Boylston Street or Brookline Avenue. The construction work is not anticipated to generate a high volume during peak hours. Police details will be assigned to all active gate locations to ensure that vehicles are not impacting traffic operations. Construction Air Quality Air quality in the study area would not be substantially affected by Project-related construction because of the temporary nature of site development construction and the confines of the construction area. Emissions from the operation of construction machinery (CO, oxides of nitrogen, particulate matter, sulfur oxides, and volatile organic compounds) are short-term and not expected to be significant. The construction specifications will include measures to mitigate fugitive dust emissions. These measures will include wetting and stabilization to suppress dust generation, cleaning paved roadways, and scheduling construction activities to minimize the amount and duration of exposed earth. Construction Noise The construction activity associated with the Project may temporarily increase nearby sound levels due to the use of heavy machinery. Heavy machinery is expected to be used intermittently throughout the Project’s construction phases, typically during daytime periods. The construction phases that will generate the highest sound levels include the demolition of existing building, site excavation and grading, and construction of the 4-36 Environmental Protection
\\MABOS\projects\11381.00\reports\Article80\ Expanded_PNF\04_Environmental_FINAL.do c Vanasse Hangen Brustlin, Inc. The Point, Boston foundation for the proposed building. The City of Boston noise control regulation considers construction sound levels to be an impact to residential land uses if the L10 sound level is in excess of 75 dB(A) or the Lmax sound level is in excess of 86 dB(A). A construction management program will be developed with the City of Boston to ensure that the noise regulation is met. Odor Control During Construction Initial geotechnical investigations indicate the presence of organics within the Project Site. Organic soils have the potential to create odors that may impact the project area. If these soils are encountered, the Proponent will undertake appropriate mitigation measures to control the odor associated with their removal, such as: Removal and replacement of organic materials to provide sufficient bearing for new foundations and utilities Cut and cover utility trenches whenever possible Protection of open trench sideslopes with plastic sheathing to encapsulate odors Treatment of odors with environmentally-sensitive products such as sodium bi-carbonate and activated carbon to reduce odors Rodent Control During Construction The City has declared that the infestation of rodents in the City is a serious problem. In order to control this infestation, the City enforces the requirements established under the Massachusetts State Sanitary Code, Chapter 211, 105 CMR 410.550 and the State Building Code, Section 108.6. Policy Number 87-4 (City of Boston) established that preparation of a program for the extermination of rodents shall be required for issuance of permits for demolition, excavation, foundation, and basement rehabilitation. The Proponent will prepare and adhere to a rodent control program prior to demolition and on a regular basis throughout the duration of construction. Public Safety During Construction Prior to the beginning of construction, the Proponent will produce a Site Specific Safety Plan to be reviewed and approved by the City. The entire perimeter of the construction site will be protected with a six-foot high temporary chain link construction fence. Vehicular gates will be provided for construction traffic on perimeter roads to allow safe entrance and exiting for construction vehicles and personnel. Additionally, signage will be posted on fencing and construction trailers to alert all personnel to the safety requirements. Larger deliveries of construction materials may require the use of police details to assist in managing vehicular and pedestrian traffic. Coordination with the Boston Police Department will be essential in providing safe travel routes for pedestrians during peak construction periods. 4-37 Environmental Protection
