Noise Pollution Study (for EAW)
The developer's consultant wrote a limited study of noise pollution arising from the racetrack, but did not include other elements of the proposal. See Noise "Study."
Racetrack Noise Article with Chart
This article reviews efforts by racetracks across the country to limit noise pollution and includes a chart showing decibels of various racetracks. See Noise Chart.
The EAW
EAW stands for Environmental Assessment Worksheet and is a smaller scope than an EIS (Environmental Impact Statement). See the EAW written by developer's handpicked consultant.
Traffic Study Map
This map shows the location of the proposed racetrack with black stars near the center of the map and the surrounding roads, most of which were not studied. The roads that were studied were determined to be heavily congested or gridlocked. See Traffic Study Map.
