Noise levels caused by the new or modified arterial highway or interchange or collector highway will not exceed fifty-five (55) decibels as measured by a twenty-four-hour Equivalent Sound Level metric at any residence, school, church or other noise-sensitive location, unless the Town Council determines that meeting such sound level is infeasible.

The proposed construction, expansion or modification of the arterial highway or interchange or collector highway will not result in a design speed of greater than forty-five (45) miles per hour, unless the Town Council finds that achieving such design speed is infeasible and all feasible mitigation of the adverse effects of higher speeds (including, without limitation, noise levels, air quality and safety) will be incorporated and the public benefit of any new or modified arterial highway or interchange or collector highway necessitates the proposed construction, expansion or modification of the arterial highway or interchange or collector highway.

The proposed construction, expansion or modification of the arterial highway or interchange or collector highway will not increase water pollution levels in violation of applicable federal, state and local water quality control standards and will result in no net loss of wetland values and functions.
