Cavanaugh Tocci' Associates, Inc. has been retained by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, Department of the Attorney General, to respond to an affidavit of Louis C.
Sutherland 2
dated October 29, 1987 which reports estimated siren sound levels at locations in Merrimac, MA monitored by Cavanaugh Tocci Associates, Inc.
Ambient sound level measurements conducted at these locations have been described in an 1
Affidavit of Gregory C.
Tocci. dated October 2,
1987 and l
Cavanaugh Tocci Associates, Inc. Ambient Sound Level Report dated October 22, 19873, 2
'3.
The Affidavit of Louis C.
Sutherland indicates that he used i
a computer model to estimate that the siren sound level in the vicinity of the 23 South Pleasant Street residence in Merrimac, MA should be 53 dBC.
For this siren level to be in conformance with FEMA requirements, the 630 Hz one-third octave band ambient L50 (5 minute) sound level should not exceed 43 dBC.

report
,1 the ambienti sound -level at 23 South ' Pleas' ant-1 Street, Merrimac, MA' exceeds 43 dBC for'most:of the daytime hours..
Therefore,- the. estimated' 53,dBC. siren sound level y
~
does not meet the FEMA 10 dB over' ambient sirenJaudibility t
- requirement.
l

- It is:therefore concluded that the siren sound level' in' thel vicinity of ' 23. South-Pleasant Street, Merrimac, MA is~notl 11 i
.suffic ent and' should be increased to'. approximately '59 dBC.
'in order-to meet the FEMA 10 dB over ambient requirement for

-The: Affidavit of. Louis C.
Sutherland dated' October 29,l1987
! indicates that the siren sound level in.the. vicinity of 16 High Street"is 8 'B higher than the. siren sound' level-at 21 R
d South Pleasant Street which is located 200 to 300 yards away.
Although this difference may be. a 'real affect of i
' topographical shielding, it seems. high and bears further explanation.

This Affidavit is only a partial response to the Sutherland 2
Affidavit and can only be completed through a review of his computer.modeling input data, and propagation assumptions and estimation techniques.
