Sullivan Park Fire Station Conversion <br /> Draft Environmental Assessment <br /> by visitors traveling to and from the new park;however, due to size of the <br /> proposed park and the lack of a dedicated parking lot,these emissions are not <br /> anticipated to be significant. <br /> 4.3.3 Mitigation Measures <br /> The following measure would be implemented to minimize potential air quality <br /> impacts from the Proposed Action. <br /> • Construction activities on the Replacement Site would be conducted <br /> consistent with applicable City of Everett requirements related to <br /> equipment emissions and dust. <br /> 4.4 Noise <br /> 4.4.1 Conversion Site <br /> Sullivan Park <br /> Vehicular traffic associated with I-5 and 112th Street SE is the dominant source of <br /> noise near Sullivan Park. Recreation activities at the park(primarily active uses <br /> such as the playground,swimming area, and boating area) are the primary <br /> source of noise within the park itself;vehicular noise from the parking lot is also <br /> a noise source at Sullivan Park. Noise from Sullivan Park typically fluctuates, <br /> depending on the weather conditions, and peak noise levels generally occur <br /> during summer months or during large events at the park. <br /> Site Conditions Prior to Conversion <br /> Prior to development of the fire station and roadway uses,the Conversion Site <br /> was primarily composed of forest and other vegetation cover types and <br /> contained no noise sources. Noise sources in the vicinity of the site prior to <br /> conversion included noise from recreation uses at Sullivan Park and noise from <br /> vehicular traffic on area roadways. <br /> Existing Noise Conditions <br /> As described above,vehicular traffic associated with I-5 and 112th Street SE is the <br /> dominant source of noise near the Conversion Site. Existing noise from the <br /> Conversion Site is primarily from vehicular traffic, as well as fire station <br /> operations and associated activities. Pedestrian and park activities associated <br /> with Thornton A. Sullivan Park also occur in the site vicinity and contribute <br /> noise,particularly during the summer months and during large events. <br /> Environmental Consequences <br /> Development of Fire Station#7 and the one-way roadway increased the amount <br /> of noise on the site when compared to the previous vegetated condition of <br /> Sullivan Park. As described in the SEPA Checklist for Fire Station#7(Appendix <br /> Page 20 <br />
