PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT), is
requesting a Noise Variance from RMC 8-7-2 (Noise Level Regulations, Maximum Environmental Noise Levels) to work
during night and weekend hours beyond the days and hours permitted in Renton Municipal Code (RMC) 4 -4-030 to
complete emergency pavement repairs of certain portions of SR 900 (NE Sunset Blvd) r oadway. The purpose of the
emergency repair is to ensure the structural integrity of the highway pavement avoiding further damage that would
require additional repair. The proposed nighttime repair work would be from MP 13.10 to MP 13.78 (Kirkland Ave NE t o
approximately Union Ave NE) and from MP 14.31 to MP 14.40 (Duvall Ave NE to Elma Pl NE). Roadway repair work would
include paving, placement of pavement markings and replacement of damaged traffic loops. Approximately eight (8)
non-consecutive nights of work would be required between now (June 2022) and the completion of the project,
anticipated to be September 2022. The primary reason for conducting nighttime work is to lessen daytime traffic
congestion along SR 900.
Noise levels resulting from project construction activities are expected to generate peak noise levels of 64 to 82 dBA
heard at 50 feet from the source of the noise. These sound levels are expected to diminish to a range of 50 to 74 decibels
at a distance of 300 feet from the source of the noise. A variance from RMC 8-7-2 is necessary in order to conduct the
nighttime work, as maximum permissible environmental noise levels (per WAC 173 -60-040, incorporated by reference
in RMC 8-7) limit extended periods of noise from 10:00 pm to 7:00 am to lev els between 45 dBA and 60 dBA, with
exceedances of 5 to 15 dBA permitted for periods of 1.5 to 15 minutes in any one -hour period (WAC 173-60-040). Some
of the noisiest pieces of equipment that would be utilized include a saw, asphalt planer, compaction rol lers, and paving
machines.
