In anticipation of the construction of the long-awaited and controversial Dulles Access Highway Extension project between Route 123 and I-66 in Fairfax County, Virginia, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) sought to evaluate potential noise impacts by using the most advanced tools available. Accordingly, the project was analyzed by using the Standard Method in Noise Analysis program (STAMINA 1.0), the level 2 computer program version of the FHWA Highway Traffic-Noise-Prediction Model. This paper discusses that analysis in terms of project impacts and provides an evaluation of STAMINA 1.0 performance. Insight is also given into use of STAMINA 1.0 as a tool to optimize the cost-effectiveness of noise barriers. (Author)
