NOISE AND VIBRATION IMPACT OF THE MBTA SUBWAY EXTENSION AT HARVARD SQUARE

Federal guidelines for preparation of noise and vibration portions of environmental impact statements for rail transportation projects are minimal. Discussions could result in a more uniform approach to the preparation of these statements. Analysis of the noise and vibration environmental impact that may result from extension of a rapid transit line of the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority in Cambridge, Mass., is presented.
