This is a document that is required by the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) because the AAF applied for a loan under the Federal Railroad Association's Railroad Rehabilitation and Improvement Financing Program. • The DEIS purpose is to disclose all environmental effects associated with the project alternatives, whether they are adverse or beneficial and to allow the public to review and comment on the document. • The City of Sebastian held a public workshop on October 15, 2014 where approximately 68 people were in attendance. • In attendance were representatives from All Aboard Florida. • Surveys were disbursed at community events and could be picked up at City Hall. • Comments to the DEIS are due by December 3, 2014 to the Federal Railroad Administration Haat w nirt'nn isutn We are interested in learning how you will be impacted by the proposed high speed passenger rail service that will run along the Florida East Coast Railway tracks which run the length of Indian River County. If positive or negative, please describe the specific ways in which you will be impacted. 11/19/2014 � a noetic mann ■ Postively g% ■Negatively 79% ■ No or minimal impact - 10% ■ No response 3% Total Surveys 229 D S` a' S O � rf O O C D) (D S O S � D1 L (D < fD rD Q — O V r DQ O S r} D) O N rF (D rD ST < n• � fD O -O O Ln D a 2 0 o 0 m 5:'o N 0 C N N N a a = C a a o a o c o o m a 0 a $ " O a O T y N O W N 0 g C S cn < ry N � N N D S` a' S O � rf O O C D) (D S O S � D1 L (D < fD rD Q — O V r DQ O S r} D) O N rF (D rD ST < n• � fD O -O O Ln D Iri' ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ 0 o o n D d n !D N d O a � � O a c v a J a d O .o EL d N S J N N _ 1'1 W Ie In the Environmental Impact Statement (Page 300 under "No Action Alternative), it states that: ... freight traffic on the FECR (Florida East Coast Railroad) Corridor is predicted to increase. FECR operated 24 daily trains in 2006 and had projected growth of S-7% between today and 2016. However, due to delays in the expansion of the Panama Canal and other factors, it is now expected that freight operations will increase from the current number of trains (now 8 to 10 daily) to 20 trains per day by 2016, and at a 3% annual growth after 2016. This in addition to the proposed 32 high speed passenger trains.

Comments Do you have any other comments you would like to provide in regard to the proposed AAF high speed passenger service? This is a clear case of putting the financial power of a few pitted against the welfare of the community. Really, what is the proposed charge for a ticket from Miami to Orlando? Will there be enough users to make it "Profitable"? Let's be realistic and not emotional as most of this survey is worded. No high speed train Unguarded crossings Much too much noise and accidents Overall bad idea. People in community must have input to such major changes. Dangerous at crossings. Tracks now are falling apart, vibration is a huge issue now. Do not allow this to happen. _ It will be very important to our children, grandchildren due to loss of cheap oil For ill This project needs to go on a different route. They should really make a deal with CST. know a lot of people moved to Florida to retire but people still have to work here so progress brings jobs all for the general good. Move the high speed rail program to areas of less population. The positives would be a stop In Melbourne, Sebastian, or Vero Beach and if it will decrease the amount of semis on the interstate. There is no positive impact on our community. Do they think that the train will have enough passengers to pay? Sebastian is a peaceful place to live. AAF will cause many seniors to move too much for our nerves. We are senior citizens! Ambulances and a timely response are critical. Too many trains to much noise, makes access in and out of homes difficult. This along with freight will could grow in the future and will highly impact many of the residents especially the elderly who exist in 55+ communities on the west side of the current track with the hospital on the east of the railroad. I see absolutely no gain in any form for the Treasure Coastl I feel It will detrimentally affect our peaceful life in Sebastian and discourage families from choosing to settle here. This will probably be good for the state but it will be terrible for us. I cannot think of one good positive thing about this train. Noise, Vibration and Inconvenience. I think that the county and city shou Id cargo a freight and passenger train car tax for every train that goes thru. Use Amtrak if you need to get from Orlando to Miami --Quicker to fly --Amtrak is very comfortable. Not a necessity of transportation issue to Florida. This would also increase air traffic and pollution from airport in Orlando. Why not a monorail type of transportation stopping at all small towns. We can see the train from our house not going to be a good thing for us. Many of our friends are selling and moving while they can. Too many interruptions for school busses, hospital, emergencies and boating traffic. I feel that AAF should follow the FLA turnpike. Too many interruptions to school, hospital, emergency services and navigation traffic. I believe they should reroute the tracks west of 1-95. I doubt the passenger service will be viable. Why were we not contacted before access was granted and permits written? There are no benefits for Treasure Coast residents. The area west of the turnpike has wide open space. This is not where high speed trains belong. It is too close to our river, our schools, ou homes and emergency transit locations. I don't believe for one minute that passenger rail will succeed. It's just a "con". In my opinion, it's all about freight, and there'll be government money involved, taxpayers money, no matter what we are told. Who benefits from this debacle??? I do not understand how anyone can justify all the negatives being outweighed by the positives since only a small percentage will be benefited by this. Bay Street crossing closed years ago -- if Roseland Road is compromised it is a long way around. ft Make it a private enterprise and move to unpopulated area. No need to be on the coast if you are not stopping for passengers. _ Put it inland rstand there is already rail service to Orlando so why do we need a high speed one? I am thinking the investors in train will make money and most of residents will see no benefits. Owners are wealthy so they will benefit and become more wealthy. This has to be greed to the detriment of many lives. Use tracks in middle of state or make new tracks down 195. There is not need for it. Build it to the west; put it in middle of state. Too much noise. The amount of proposed passenger travel without local stations along the Treasure Coast will not materialize as long as motorists can make the trip in the same period of time and more comfortably. Put In the middle of the state. Build west of 1-95 Should only run in non -populated areas I feel this is a huge waste of taxpayer money. No passenger rail service world wide has ever made money and are always subsidized by the local government federal levels. A dinner train is the only thing that should be allowed given the east coast Florida population. This whole project only benefits Miami and Palm Beach. It is of no value to the Treasure Coast. Where are they getting passengers for 32 trains every day? We all know that the passenger service is a cover for moving freight. AAF refuses to release projected ridership figures. We can drive to Orlando or Miami in a relatively short time so why put up with all the noise and traffic delays the train will cause. Do anything possible to stop it. If state and federal money involved, it will be a huge boondoggle. It is hard to believe that they will have enough passengers to fill all those trains. Totally unfair to residents that live nearby tracks —their property value will decrease. Railroad may buy their houses, but they will be worth nothing. These hard working people will not be able to afford to stay and relocate in Sebastian. Don't do it. At least not on the proposed rail. Quality of life will be lessened. I really feel that our comments are just for PR and this is a done deal. Sad for my feelings toward state government and real public input. I will be contacting all our state representatives. Are any of them for this rail? The cost to ride will make it financially unsuccessful. Can't imagine who will need to ride it. That's a lot of trains. Who is going to use it? Tracks will deteriorate --How can they support all this traffic? It won't be financially successful. The cost to ride will probably equal the cost of driving. The time is the same. Why can't this be done more inland where there is much open territory Why no stops along the Treasure Coast? passenger trains always lose money. This about profit from freight. They are trying to short cut the phases and there are no benefits for our area. The accident potential is greatly Increased. I resent a private corporation having the power to go against the will of the people. Harmful to wildlife - migrating birds, etc. Please do not Cali fornicate Florida. Every source of investment income should be disclosed by AAF also who are their investors and how much money they have spent lobbying state reps. A sham and a ruse for mega freight traffic from Panama canal. I don't see any benefit to Indian River County and none to me and my finances personally If there were a stop in IRC directly from/to Orlando airport, that would be the only occasional benefit to me. My information Is that other high speed rail lines In Europe, Japan, N.E. US and newly planned Texas line do not trains through successive towns/cities with many crossings. They stay rural. The railroad should go through the middle of the state where the population is scarcest. Why would we want a high speed train passing through not offering transportation to 90% of the public effected. The two are linked and the communities impacted should band together to sue to stop it. Build another track in the middle of the state. I don't believe 16 trains a day is feasible. Tourists who rent cars can stop atmany places along our coast and is therefore better for our tourist economy than corralling them in Orlando and Southern Florida. How can the train stop in time if the crossing gate malfunction with the speed the train is going 110 MPH X 30 seconds prior to reaching intersection. Why so many daily trips? Besides freight train passing how does this effect the building of casinos in Miami? It will not benefit Sebastian in any way. How many people will go from Miami to Disney? I don not believe it should run thru small communities. AAF should be near 1-95 If it doesn't pay for itself the taxpayers will be stuck with the bill and the train tracks will then be improved for freight business without Amtrak having to pay for it. Do you have any other comments you would like to provide in regard to an increased number of freight trains? It would create a never ending problem for the communities in the path of this juggernaut of trains. Which do you want? Trucks or trains This will run the economy of the region for the benefit of a few in Miami and Orlando. Where are our elected leaders? Noise -Train horns will increase safety issues Rethink. Enough is enough. Do not want. Good train moving equals jobs. This will ruin the quality of life on the Treasure Coast. AAF is not going to increase freight train traffic. The opening of the new Panama Canal Is going to do that. There is no positive benefit to any community on the proposed east coast corridor. How many more freight trains? Will trains be carrying any material that would be explosive? I believe the Increased train frequency will negatively impact property values (residential) in the vicinity of the tracks. There is no positive Impact on our community. Please help us so we can continue to enjoy a healthy life. My... noise and slow lumbering trains—accidents... More trains to middle of the state. Freight. Put the freight trains along 195 or in the middle of the state. Vibration of noise and access to the park Issue; Delays at crossing Very concerned about the noise of the whistles and emergency vehicles being held up at crossings. Too much noise. It will command all problems with noise and increased problems with health Issues and response times of police, ambulance, etc. Hospital will be impacted. Freights all night vibrating our house while we are sleeping. Cracks driveway and shakes our house. This program only helps some rich New York Investors only. It can be very noisy and congestive. I grew up blocks from Medley, Fl-where FEC has a freight yard--noise all the time. Increase of noise and pollution, and crossing accidents. Need to hear future plans for increased freight carriers. They will significantly Increase. Concerned about decreased quality of life and increase risks to public safety. 1 see nothing good coming from this increase. Concerned about traffic being backed up. There are already long delays, especially if trains have to slow down in Barefoot Bay to pass each other. Roseland Road becomes very backed up. Safety - Content of freight - dangerous chemicals transported through our area. Increased number of freight trains will cause god-awful waits at crossings, waits at bridges for cars and boats. Last year, at Barber St., near USI in Sebastian, l waited 40 minutes for an ordinary freight train to go by. How much worse will it be with AAF's increased freight traffic? 30 MPH freight trains are a lot different than high speed passenger trains. The anticipated noise factor and graphics will definitely be a negative to the peace and quiet we have now. Put it inland Trains are probably the lease expensive way to move freight. 1 d_o not look forward to this train and I don't believe it will happen! They should have quiet zones for that many freight trains uses if they don't have high speed trains. Do we have any say over decisions of the corporate ruling class? The freight business is the only reason for this great expedition of time and monies. Have the ships unload in Jacksonville, FL. Noise and vibration Should only be allowed in non -populated areas The existing level of freight service is acceptable to increase the amount will create very long traffic delays. Do it right. Put an elevator rail up the center of the state. Not through the most populated areas. This is a worse problem than the high speed ones (freight). More freight trains moving slowly on top of 32 passenger trains will be devastating. Toxic substances are often transported in cars and we don't know about it. What provisions does AAF to clean up spills if they occur? Ca our City sue AAF when such an accident occurs? We already have plenty of train traffic - no more is needed or wanted. The lines should be moved to the less populated center of the state not on the populated east roast. Move to the center of the state. Homes in our community already suffer from extreme vibration. This will also affect the value of our homes; ability to sell homes in our community that has received a words in the past. Need our passes over roads. I need to review right of way and tariff. Raise Rail The real issue In this project is freight ---long speeding freight tralns:: [low will they stop in time if there is a safety issue? Safety is paramount. Children on school buses will be delayed. Ambulances and police will not be able to answer emergency calls. Wildlife that we treasure will not wander freely. It will be more stressful living here. The tranquility of the area will be lessened. The freight car numbers will increase why add passenger cars when we, along the rail route can't even use it? Increased freight trains would be horrible for our neighborhood where the houses are close to the tracks. Use the tracks in the middle of the state. Traffic slowed all to often at crossings/noisy/smelly. Put the freight in the middle of the state. Why not put tracks along 1-95 or Florida turnpike? Sounds much too logical. They will deteriorate the rail bed and accidents may occur spilling dangerous chemicals. Move them to the west of 1-95 or middle of the state. Noise - disruption of traffic — pollution Noise delays -- safety Hospital is close by and many elders live in nearby residences, Including large Collier Club subdivision with approximately 450 lots, with about 375 homes built. Traffic, noise, emergency traffic, taxes for local noise abatement I am not typically an activist in these issues, but I am adamantly opposed to this plan and feel it is unsalvageable. Again this is nothing but profit for a private company and It will be a worsening situation with time. Terrible hold up of emergency vehicles. You have an alternative on CSX. Madness - this whole business all aboard and freight traffic destroys the living on over 200 mlles of towns and hinder thousands of people. Noise/vibration/safety/Inconvenience. No good- no upside, only downside.; If/when our homestead goes on the market for sale, it's In print that the worth of our property will be negatively affected 10-20% due to proximity of AAF high speed tracks. There are other alternative to move freight. I believe the main reason we are facing this problem is to accommodate the freight trains. We have enough trains now. We do not need anymore. Take the freight and locate another track away from the coast. Once the passenger train service falls and there are no more passenger services, will it be replaced with freight trains? Freight trains moving during night hours will not effect the normal life in Sebastian. _ Accidents and hold ups on train tracks. Other Comments Noise, Vibration Safety and Congestion Noise! Possible auto delays. If there was a stop in Indian River County, that would be the only positive benefit for passenger use to/from airports. 2016 - 20 freight and 32 passenger. If spread over 24 hours = more often than every half hour. If passenger trains run 5 AM-11PM = 6 hrs. @ more than 5 an hour. As a youth and later in college, I lived near or within a block of major RR. The noise and traffic delays were significant. In one 4 hour period (while I was in college)19 trains passed in one direction or the other. Noise, traffic congestion and safety Too much noise Safety issues, noise, congestion, vibration. Noise, noise, noise. What happened to our "quiet" fishing village? Stores and businesses will suffer. Traffic back up for train crossings Waiting on coming trains backs up traffic Very near the tracks -much frequent noise Noise. They (visitors) may not want to visit Sebastian again. Seasonal renters will far down; go other places. Safety issues. Noise and vibration will negatively impact residences and businesses along those current corridors. We can't enjoy our outside patios with all the noise trains will bring to our home areas. Between noise and traffic; not able to get to Rt. 1. This will increase delays at crossings, especially if we believe that there will be a large increase in freight traffic (as well as passenger trains); Freight - much longer delay at crossings compared to passenger trains. Only noise and traffic disruptions. Safety Noise and blocking of roadway. Concern for access with public safety, Fire, EMS, PD. Noise and too much traffic on this line. The noise level will disturb my peaceful living life style Delay in crossing to Highway 1 & noise. Traffic, noise Noise - traffic - inconvenience - delays at crossing - also at waterway bridges; the constant rumble of the high-speed train. I wake up all night with the sound of the whistle with the traffic now. Noise - traffic holdup. Too much noise Noise - We live in Park Place as far from the tracks as possible yet noise enters and shakes our house. I live within 1000 feet of the tracks. It affects my quality of life. It is of no benefit to Sebastian. It brings noise and vibration to our home. This is going to be a terrible situation for us and our community. So many trains, so many crossings closed so often and so much noise. Whistle blowing --- noise level. Present loud, annoying noise in a peaceful community Quiet neighborhood - peaceful community - Noise -- Do not need increased noise disruption. Traffic flow and noise Potential for accidents. While the passenger trains are supposed to be quieter but the increase in freight trains will increase the noise pollution. Traffic delays due to the number of passing's. Quality of life will decline throughout the coast. Degradation of quality of life due to noise, vibration and delays. Creates traffic problems, increased noise - no benefit to Sebastian, just dangerous. Safety will be impacted. Noise, pollution, loss of small town charm. We have so many people that walk and ride bikes ---their safety will be jeopardized. Freight trains are not an issue now. It is the 32 additional trains that are going to be the demise of the quality of our life. Will definitely be much noisier where I live. They are noisy enough now. More trains will just make it worse. Noise abatement. Noise and vibration It will be very noisy, house will vibrate more, fear of pedestrian getting injured as many people walk or ride bikes in our neighborhood. There are many elderly drivers in the area also. I live near the tracks. Noise and inability to access points on the other side. Noise and danger will increase. Noise and vibration Between the noise! The inconvenience! No Benefits! I would hate to be on the wrong side of the tracks from the hospital or any emergency. Noise and dangerous factors will negatively impact all. Noise and frequency of track crossings. Noise/Crossings midrail access Visitors will not come to visit. They come here for quiet and environment. Train will destroy all that. Noise, pollution, safety of our community. This community belongs to the people and the animals, the safety of both will be compromised. Increased crossing wait times; higher potential for train accidents Disrupted sleep patterns with the increase in train traffic will occur. Noise, fumes, wait time, what about emergency vehicles, taxes, zoning changes, the look and feel of this community... which is way people want to live and invest here. Would only support if using Central Florida line. Personally, I now hear the freight trains and horns especially during the night. With the sizable increase expected, no doubt there will be a much greater noise level. Noise Vibration Being cut off from US1 I live one and half blocks west of tracks. Noise! Traffic delays. Emergency response. Our location is very near to the tracks. Excessive noise; possible accidents. Noise, hospital access is a safety issue. AAF will greatly increase noise and inhibit access to US1. I do not believe it will be safe due to its high speed. Noise, disruption of highway traffic, Constant highway traffic disruptions, reduction in residential property values. I can hear all the trains from my house and will have to wait at train crossings numerous times to get anywhere from where I live. Noise, vibrations for people close to tracks ---safety for pedestrians and autos and police. All emergency services will be hindered. Noise, vibration, road closure over tracks to Rt.1 Inevitable accident frequency Define "Quiet Zone" Noise and vibrations Danger for rail accidents to community members and inability of community to respond appropriately and without fiscal liability is too great. I own a camp in Maine and Farmington, ME (nearby town) is sister community of Lac Megantic Quebec, and firefighters responded to a town's 7/6/13 rail derailment, when 42 were confirmed dead and 4 others were presumed dead with huge amounts of property damage. Freight trains can derail and do carry unsafe products. Noise, increased taxes (local) for abatement - No local benefit Nothing is going to help with railroad crossings and number of times they are closed Noise, safety time spent at train stops. Noise will impact my home and reduce emergency response vehicles. Noise, traffic safety, business lost Noise. Delay at crossing - 3 tracks closer to buildings. I feel since the crossings are in small congested areas with traffic lights it will complicate the intersections. I also cross the tracks several times a day, so l am sure I will be affected. Noise will be three times or more in my community. Wait at crossing will be too long. House vibration, noise, impeded traffic flow Noise and vibrations; Air horns blasting thru intersections as train goes thru Sebastian. Redesign crossing stations for high speed crossing that don't break down. No more blasting of air horns thru Sebastian; and a safety concrete 6 foot high plus barrier as seen in constructio zones, etc. Either one of the above to keep people, kids, animals from wondering onto tracks and being killed by a train going over 100 mph. Property taxes dismissedl Repairs and damages to our homes from all these freight trains and high speed passenger trains day afte day, year after year after year. Hospitals, emergency services are east of the tracks... schools and majority of residents are on the west side. Most of the communities have no overpasses. Thus cutting a large population off from emergency medical care and fire/storm reactions. Emergency vehicles delayed as tracks are very near US1. Do not want public funds. Emergency responses and normal vehicular traffic will be greatly delayed by an increase in track usage. Hard to get to my doctors and hospital Hospitals are all on east side of tracks. Hospital, Police, and Fire Dept. on the west side of existing tracks could really impact their response. Access to emergency vehicles and hospitals, safety issues, disturbing our eco system with vibrations and noise. Can't get through in case of emergency Access to hospital Crossing closed to emergency travel and dangerous to all. Wait of emergency vehicles Safety issues for emergency vehicles, student crossing, school buses, children and pets. Limits access to hospitals. Trying to get to a hospital will be a nightmare. Pollution, emergency vehicles will be held hostage I live west of the tracks. Our visitors and relatives are all senior citizens. If anyone at our house gets sick and need a hospital the train could prevent their getting to the hospital in an emergency. I won't have access to fire department, ambulance service, hospital or doctor, as I reside on the "wrong side of the tracks." Most medical facilities are located east of the tracks. Tens of thousands of elderly persons live west of the tracks in an emergency situation; minutes can mean the difference between life and death (stroke, heart attack, accident, etc.) Such a great increase in train traffic. and the emergency response delays puts a large percentage of our population unnecessarily at high risk. I am 78. Cannot get to hospital, doctor, church, grocery, etc. Fire Services/ambulances won't be able to get to calls. it's all about freight use; use the rail lines in the middle of the state. Living in a retirement community emergency service access is of great concern. We will be on the "wrong side" of the tracks for any medical emergency. We have heart/stroke health issues that could be greatly impacted by a train when emergency time response is critical. The cargo/shipping companies should unload at ports nearest to the cargo final destination. We should not be burdened with the greed of the Port of Miami and Port Everglades. Interfere with emergency vehicles - Cuts city in half; noise vibrations; safety of people; wildlife along right of way My doctors and my hospital are east of the tracks as an 81 year old senior I could die in the ambulance. Area is comprised mainly of senior citizens, majority of which live on the west side of the tracks and have health issues requiring emergency visits to the hospital. Emergency vehicles on the east side cross to west then have to cross back. I personally had to call an ambulance. I stopped breathing on the way to the hospital. The paramedic was giving me CPR. If the ambulance had to stop for a train, wouldn't be standing before you today. I am only one example of them any seniors in our area whose life stands in the balance if 31 additional trains are allowed to pass. To many trains; emergency to hospital hampered. Emergencies will be hindered getting to us. Fire trucks, ambulances won't be able to get to calls. Its all about freight and use the CSX lines in the middle of the state. Businesses will benefit in Miami/Orlando at stops The only people and businesses that will benefit from AAF are those in Miami and Orlando I believe this will only have negative impacts to this area and its residents. I believe it is being pushed through by a select few to benefit a select few. None in this area Negative impacts will cause an exodus of families and businesses from this area. Will not encourage new business to relocate to the Treasure Coast Will be like living in a tenement in an inner city. The lower quality of life will discourage any growth or business to relocate to this area. The movement will be out of this area. My taxes will go up to support the local (City, County and State) improvement needed to counter Noise, Environmental and Infrastructure resulting from this "limited service". Property taxes Please don't let this happen. Sebastian is a great place to buy property new. With the proposed AAF high speed train, I'm sure it will not be so nice. Real Estate Values Property values will be negatively Impacted in an area already stressed by foreclosures. Degradation of property values. I believe our taxes will increase and property values will decrease. I will sell my home December 2014 to get best value before new trains are approved. Living 5 houses away from tracks now is tolerable, but not after the project continues. Historic Sebastian and vacation destination will be negatively Impacted. Remediation for decreased property. You will surely see a devaluation reflected in your property values. Will affect my property value and quality of life. Property values will decrease Property values will tank. Who want stop live near the train? No benefit to us in the Treasure Coast at all. Property values go down. Will cause value of our home to decrease. Lower property values Decrease in RLWAe4[Y:yalpes; 9 Negative impact on residential property values No liability or what about financial drain on Sebastian local or federal taxes. Real Estate Agent- Who wants to live in a fishing village where the train traffic is a negative point and where you live. Bought a house and moved to Sebastian to getaway from trains. Would like Sebastian to stay a small quiet place. I Environmental I Negative impacts: financial, pollution noise pollution, negative impact on environment and wildlife; negative safety impact. Pollution Sebastian River impacted. Idle traffic at crossings will result in choking exhaust fumes and cause loss of productivity. There are environmental and financial burdens Other The impact on schools, hospitals, environment is all negative This is not the inner city and no one moves to this area to be near AAF, just the opposite. The entire issue of AAF should never been considered in its present form. Visitors can't believe that this idea was even considered. Quote, "I can't believe they're going to do this. Why?" This should go up the center of the state - not through residential and downtown areas. People should not be put ahead of money. REALLY? If the AAF rail service did not already have a "relationship" with the Florida East Coast RR, would this really be the most economic and "environmental" route? Will not support it. We have too many unguarded crossings much too much noise and potential for accidents People will hate the inconvenience of waiting for trains to pass --- traffic will be impacted. This is something that has a negative impact on all aspects of life without any advantage to us. Church is directly across from tracks. Don't want under any condition We have enough trains going through Sebastian. Constant noise and vibrations take away the living quality of life and constantly wake us up at night, etc. Coming from N.E. trains are one thing I don't like close to residential home - take away from property values and quality of life. Negatively impacts communities on the Treasure coast significantly. 78 grade crossings along Treasure Coast all of which serve those communities. Why not support the development of brand new tracks along the central portion of the state where the impact to a highly populated east coast would not be so great. Add another Auto -train to the AAF concept and then you really have something to "toot your horn" about. Will create problems for home foundations Sleep deprivation. Need wall for safety. I don't think this proposal has anything to do with passenger service, I think it is moving freight. This train project will cause unnecessary disruption of life on the Treasure Coast. With visitors, we would try to avoid the train track crossings. We need to improve rail systems in our state and county. Waiting for freight trains & noise from all trains. Oppose if run down delay populated east coast corridor. Could possibly support if rail using central Florida. Can not support if freight trains are significantly increased. We get all the negative. It will hurt our community. This is the wrong corridor for that venture. Sharing some tracks for freight and passenger; Sound barriers. No benefit - only all negative impact on our neighborhood. Put freight trains in the middle of the state. This train does nothing good for the Treasure Coast and should be routed west of town. Could go down the middle of the state. Long lines, late appointments, hazardous waste, problems that people don't even think about. Impact will continue to worsen over the years and will completely change the county. They will probably think we should move like the rest of our neighbors have. No one wants to live by the train. We only have a few train at the moment. We live in paradise that will become a nightmare if the train comes within 1000 feet of our home. It will ruin the quality of our life. We do not need another track installed for more freight cars so that the wall street hedge fund - Fortress Investment Group can make its investors more money! While we would have to deal with,all these extra trains/vibrations from the weight that is destroying our homes and our property values! Loud locomotive engines screaming thru our quiet community night and day! Air horns blasting at all hours day and night! Time waiting at crossings. Qo not su pport It-,4,8,r%dents This is a great idea for a "non-populated area". Not getting truth from AAF about plan and purpose. Increase of time waiting at crossing more cost of taxes to residents. _ This will be the end of life In our community as we know it today! This will have negative impact on tourism. This summer in the Commonwealth of Virginia a freight train carrying oil cars fell Into the James River when an older road bed collapsed from underneath the tracks. The James River is the drinking source of water for the lower tier of Virginia and luckily no oil leaked. The East Coast rail system is over 100 years old and built to service train cars of that time period. How is AAF going to ensure the current rail beds, including bridges, are safe to service both the weight of the new train cars and the frequency they plan to run them? AAF has stated it plans to run freight trains on the tracks they are building for the lighter shorter passenger cars. This practice has caused widespread devastation In other parts of the country. One example, in Maryland, a machine shop successfully operating near the freight train tracks had to close down when the freight train started to run on the new for "passenger use only" tracks. The vibrations were sufficiently greater and the shop could no longer keep its machines properly lined up. The building and the surrounding area is now deserted. Since All Aboard Florida has said it plans to use these tracks for freight trains, it is going to upgrade the railroad beds to current industry standards for vibration absorption for freight trains before it lays down the new tracks? Reroute using western route to avoid populated towns and cities on east coast. Look for alternate route. I don't believe there is any "buffer" that will positively effect the project. Our small towns will loose millions and become a ghost town (businesses will leave). My office Is directly 1/2 block from tracks. It may cause grid lock at the intersection with the increase of passenger trains. I moved here from CA to pursue a career in Real Estate and to enjoy the beautiful and quiet life style. Should have a stop in Vero Beach. _ Use existing Amtrak right of way for high speed rail How about an overpass for Police and Fire Equipment? All the airports are on the "wrong side of the tracks." I live three houses from the track. The potential speed of the train is frightening, especially if accident occurs. Will be noisy, disrupt our quiet neighborhood. This is not appropriate for our area. This is a quiet small town. Not Ft. Lauderdale or Palm Beach or Miami. Nothing will "positively" Influence me. It's a dreadful, expensive, boondoffle, will cause long, waits for cars and boats and interfere with emergency services. It's all about freight, not passenger services. Should not run through small town Florida. Run it alongside Rt. 95 where it won't bother anybody. We live on Bay St. by train bridge and the noise will bother us and destroy our property value. The trains that run all night long we are use to —sleep right through them. Live nearby. I kayak the river and the idea of the bridge being replaced over the St. Sebastian River is terrible. I don't believe the ridership would support this venture. It does nothing for our area. Move it to the center of the state. Let NAFTA companies build their own transportation of goods made in China; let Warren Buffet feed, house and free health care for thes illegals or Hispanics. Keep imports out of America materials, products and people. All these things forced on Americans so companies like Walmart make profit at our misgivings. It is the worst thing that could happen. This train is not a service; only a detriment to those who settled here. It is definitely not an asset or enhancement to lives of residents. AAF did not determine our feelings. I live in an Ole'Florida cracker house in historic area of Indian River County and near the track. I now have enough noise and vibrations from current train service. More would be dangerous, embarrassing and not compatible. Have them buy right of way to west. Primarily by disruption of every day travel within east and west sections of our City. This may be 4-5 crossings per day. Small businesses along the tracks having noise problems and no access to the railroad service will suffer losses in property values. The historical structures in counties along the route will suffer impacts In building structures. I grew up not to far from 195 in Miami (1960) - It destroyed the neighborhood and quality of life. -Go take a look 145 St. & 7th Ave. N.W. Wait times at crossings - no way to get to waterfront, restaurants, etc. Noise from whistles at 512 Intersection. No Access to train. _ Run the interior corridor We in Indian River County will receive no benefit. However, we mayfind ourselves much Inconvenience. Put west of 195 I believe this service is a means to allow FIG to bring in new tracks for cargo service which will be financed by USFED Tax dollars. No stops in Sebastian I think AAF/FIG should play nice with their Florida neighbors an dues the existing rails out west. I also think they should do a trails for rail type of track as something. Donate the FEC tracks for scenic trail and or use them for dinner trains. Then any community that wants a stop for tourism purposes could get it. AAF won't release ridership figures and no passenger railroad has ever made money - taxpayers subsidize it. Elevating tracks; taxpayers don't fund it after it fails. I am sure AAF violates some EPA regulations. It will make access to US3 from my residence much more difficult- also access to Publix, Walgreens, etc. Passenger rail service is a farce - why not be honest and call it high speed freight service? Being on the west side of USS there will be too many hold ups to cross the tracks. Also a safety Issue. Too much noise also. This is probably a done deal but I feel we should keep up our protests. _ It will turn to freight service, hold up crossings, put emergency services In jeopardy. There is no profitable rail passenger service any where. This all about getting federal and state money to improve FEC property. And no federal loans. If FEC believe passenger service profitable, then convince the private sector. I live about 11/2 miles from track and hear notjust the horn but also a rumble. It will disrupt the peaceful nature of where we live without any benefit to Sebastian. No support unless they move track. A small group of hedge fund investors should not benefit if the expense of the safety and peace of mind of 600,000 people. High speed rail is an idea whose time has come, but the tracks should be located west of town. They will run night and half long double decker trains, freight and passenger through our quiet town 32 times a day blocking traffic, emergency vehicles, and police from reaching their destinations in a timely manner. This project negatively impact Sebastian in every way. So much for sleepy fishing village. Sebastian wants to stay a small town ---eventually you may have a stop in Indian RlSver County. We want homeowners here, not people from south Florida. _ Visitors will not want to be sitting on roads watching trains go by. Businesses will suffer because people will avoid going over tracks and will take alternate route. What about overpasses? Change location to run alongside Highway 95 which I know they don't own but wish they did. Have historic buildings that need to be protected will lose my vacation rental with 400 to 500 horns. I dread the day that my house burns down or I or a family member can't get to the hospital In time waiting for a train. More trains increase the danger. I have many times had to wait to cross the tracks for running trains and had to find alternative ways to cross when trains have stopped and signals don't work. No benefit. Buildings close to the tracks may be harmed. Will ruin our way of life. (Notjust us but many others along the waterway.) There is nothing positive about AAF. Except getting people back and forth to businesses in Orlando and to a lesser degree Miami. Good at north end and good at south end; bad for everyone in between Disruption to the peaceful environment we moved to 6 months ago It should be along 1-95, not impacting so many residential communities, especially when there are no benefits. Increased time that gates are down cause more traffic delays No not believe Sebastian residents will receive any benefits and, therefore, should not incur any associated costs related to installation, maintenance and or correction of problems. Sebastian relies on tourism, and additional freight trains and high speed AAF trans will not benefit the historic fishing community feelin f of Sebastian. Delays In crossing tracks. Doomed to fail just like all other passenger trains. Locate tracks closer to 1-95 Delays at R. R crossing are already creating congestion and the flood of cars upon gates opening take a long time to cycle through nearby traffic lights (intersections). In my opinion people will book flights to Miami, West Palm Beach and Orlando and not need a train and or'renting a car gives more flexibility. There aren't many people who enjoy the screeching of metal on metal. Instead of vacationing in Sebastian people will find a quieter plat and locals will also fee the need to "get away" from the Incessant noise. Locate west of 1-95 Time wasted in cars lineup. Trains will bisect our town, will hamper access to hospital, will increase noise, will increase accidents, will have only negative impact on our county, is being "railroaded" through. There is totally insufficient evidence of passenger support for this AAF project. It seems clear there Is another agenda driving this project. Relocate west of 1-95 So 52 daily trains by 2016??? That's more than 2 per hour; 24 hours a day Employees driving from west of track would be continually delayed going both ways. This project will effect the every day quality of life; noise, vibration, environmental, pace of life, and effect on nature. It will turn a quiet resort town into an area totally unappealing to tourists and to its citizens. Watch out for freight traffic to Increase exponentially. Move it to the middle of the state. It will delay all appointments and meetings. Feel it is a high-speed freight train, rather than a passenger train. Under crossings or raised crossings not smart. How long with the crossings be closed? Look at future passenger need and freight need. General FL with tracks to major cities. There is not one benefit for the people of Indian River County No way would I agree to that many trains at that speed. The track runs close to my home/subdivision. It will disrupt traffic, be noisy and dangerous. Cost of maintenance on a local level. I live 1/2 block from the tracks so noise, Inconvenience, cost, loss of property values, higher taxes for maintenance, etc. None of the above resolves the most significant negative impacts of the planned proposed project. lust as 1-95 was constructed to the west of populous areas, AAF, West Palm to Orlando needs to build west of Treasure Coast. The vibrations from the train, the noise, the lack of employment will adversely affect Vero Beach. The ultimate purpose of this project is to increase profits of the stakeholders - without give back to communities affected. I live 2 blocks from tracks (noise and vibration). Our wildlife will be endangered particularly the in North Sebastian Conservation Area (scrub jays, gopher tortoises, etc. cross tracks) Build it west, along 1-95. Travel from tree 95 to rte. AlA will be negatively affected. This is very important issue please listen to the public cry. It will kill our way of life. _ Right of way moved west to farm and ranch area Our community is just on the west side of tracks; not good for environment We are a community of 55 and older we do not need environmental and safety Issues. Use only electric train above ground. gestion and noise will deteriorate the community and county. ild be financed independently. taxpayer dollars pay for upkeep of the tracks?

We on the wrong side of the tracks. And don't forget noise, energy pollution. Don't even suggest local jobs. sed traffic due to RR crossing closing more often. Increased noise in the area. I would support AAF if the Amtrak route/rail was to doctors, hospital, store, drug store; too many trains as it is now. Put train tracks up over road. >ne we know has to come over tracks to see us. drive a van transporting clients of special needs and cross the tracks several times a day. it will disrupt the normal flow of traffic. manage a 70 unit Senior Apt.

Many of the residents of Graces landing have health issues and need quick access to the hospital which is on the other We of the tracks. EMP response times can be affected by this train. Move the tracks for this high speed train along 95 where there are ess homes with elderly and children. Ne area small community close to the tracks and cannot see more train traffic than we have right now. Okay near 1-95; think it is needec Vill support if near 1-95. live west of the R.R. tracks, approximately 2 miles. I am 79 years old and all of my doctors and hospital are east of the tracks on US 1 in ;ebastian. I have COPD and RA and Glaucoma and cataracts. All my doctors are on USS east of the tracks. To spend 3 or 5 minutes for reight train to go through Sebastian may possibly be deadly for me. Please do not loan or fund or guarantee taxpayers money -federal cr state - to All Aboard Florida. I am strongly opposed to AAF. Port Canaveral and Port Miami just completed huge container unloading operations that can receive the largest container ships in the world. Carrying thousands of 53 foot cargo containers that will be double stacked on hundreds of railroad cars going right through our town. The Panama Canal is currently being widened to allow passage of these massive container cargo ships that will be unloading millions of truck trailer 53 foot cargo containers that will a double stacked on railroad cars and run right thru our town so the rich can get richer. There is no reason to have this opposed high speed passenger train, it is all another scam to cover up the real plan of having more freight cars double stacked and double the weight going thru our community and destroying our homes and property values and we receive absolutely nothing for dealing with all this. Quiet zones will not be enough. Tall security fences running along side tracks will not be enough. Thicker rubber pads to replace the 1/4 inch plastic vibration pads currently installed between concrete rail support and solid steel track rails will not be enough. A tall concrete sound deafening wall like you see along some highways to block out the vehicle traffic noises going into those neighborhoods will not be enough. The constant day and night railroad crossing closures so that all these trains can pass thru our town so they can get rich is a violation of our freedom. To travel to stores/hospital/river/beach/schools where ever we would like to go to because of all these trains constantly coming thru our town is unacceptable. We must not allow this to happen to our Sebastian. I love this town and moved here because It is one of the last by the river/kick back/quiet communities. They want to make it so we will all feel like we live ata train station night and day. Noway stop the train. Pictures showing how close the second set of tracks will be to his property. Picture of vibration pads torn and broken. The street is 25 mph when kids playing however 30 mph and the train will be going 110 mph. Positive will need this service as fuel costs rise. A service we must get the sooner the better. Where the funds come from is As time moves forward overpasses and underpasses will come so no negative impact. This is what happened on the North East corridor - Washington, DC to Boston, MA Fun groups going north to Orlando and south to Miami. Easy trip from north or south. If it works eventually we might have passenger service from all of our county. If the train stopped in Melbourne, Sebastian or Vero Beach, I would be for it. Would be more agreeable if the train stopped in Vero Beach or Melbourne. I have nothing against the freight trains, they are economical for transportation. Build it now. Freight lines are an efficient way to transport goods and I can accept the FEC business. A passenger train that any serves a few areas but impact many is a bad idea. M1. zw HOME OF PELICAN ISLAND CITY COUNCIL AGENDA TRANSMITTAL FORM Council Meeting Date: November 19, 2014 Agenda Item Title: Summary of the All Aboard Florida (AAF) Survey which is a response to the Draft Environmental Impact Study Recommendation: Approve the attached surveys which will be an attachment to the City of Sebastian's Response to the Draft Environmental Impact Study as indicated in step 3 of the NEPA process Background: The City Council approved a budgeted amount of $50,000.00 for the AAF project. The AAF project proposes to construct and operate a privately owned and operated intercity passenger railroad system that will connect Orlando and Miami, with intermediate stops in Fort Lauderdale and West Palm Beach, FL. A second set of tracks will be installed for 16 new round-trip intercity passenger train trips (32 one-way trips). Because AAF has applied for a loan under Federal Railroad Association's (FRA's) Railroad Rehabilitation and Improvement Financing (RRIF) program, FRA is required under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) to conduct an analysis of the potential environmental impacts resulting from the Project. NEPA compliance is a prerequisite for RRIF approval, and FRA will not approve the Project for a RRIF loan until the NEPA process is complete. An Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) is a document required by NEPA that describes the environmental effects of a project to inform decision -makers and the public. NEPA is a federal environmental law that facilitates public disclosures and establishes policies for federal agencies to study a reasonable range of alternatives and assess environmental impacts of projects. An EIS must be prepared by a federal agency for any major federal action significantly affecting or with the potential to affect the quality of the natural and built environment. Environmental effects can be both positive (beneficial) or negative (adverse). The Draft Environmental Impact Statement's (DEIS) purpose is to disclose all environmental effects associated with the project alternatives, whether they are adverse or beneficial and allow the public to review and comment on the document. The City of Sebastian held a Public Workshop on October 15, 2014 to obtain comments regarding the DEIS. In addition, The Department of Transportation, Federal Railroad Administration, held a meeting November 5, 2014 to obtain comments. All comments must be submitted in writing to Mr. John Winkle, Federal Railroad Administration, 1200 New Jersey Avenue, SE Room W38-311, Washington, DC 20590 by December 3, 2014.

City Manager Authorization: Date: Cynthia Watson From: Frank Watanabe Sent: Friday, September 26, 2014 9:20 AM To: Cynthia Watson Subject: FW: AAF EIS FYI on a response letter to a concern citizen. There will be more of these concerns from residents. From: Joseph Griffin Sent: Friday, September 26, 2014 9:14 AM To: 'chef@hotmail.com' Cc: Sally Maio; Bob McPartlan; Frank Watanabe; council Subject: RE: AAF EIS Mr. Tallant: I have been asked by our Mayor to respond to your recent e-mail to him. First, I am very impressed regarding your technical knowledge of the issue. I hope you realize that you, or any other citizen, may respond to the DEIS with direct questions to the FRA. Your technical questions, in my opinion, definitely qualify for an answer from the FRA. Second, the City of Sebastian is in the process of preparing our questions during the public comment period. In addition, we will be conducting a "open house' on 15 October 2014 to receive public input so that staff can incorporate public concerns into our submissions to the FRA. Third, and perhaps most important. You state that the City Council has decided to'support' AAF's plan. That is incorrect. Council recently directed me to submit, through our City Engineer, a grant application for `possible' quiet zones. It is my view that I must act in a way to provide for the safest rail crossings possible if AAF comes to fruition. We are applying for those FDOT grants as a contingency. In addition, Council recently passed a resolution requesting the Florida Attorney General to review the AAF/Orlando Expressway Authority as to its legality, and a resolution demanding that `no public money' be used for AAF expansion. There have been no actions by Council that would hint of any `support' for AAF's plans. In conclusion, I consider the City still in the information gathering phase. We are working on our responses to the DEIS. We have been as pro -active as anyone in trying to develop contingencies, in monitoring the diagnostic surveys, and in keeping before the public this issue. Frankly, I am the person in charge of developing our Council Agendas. An inspection would reveal that we have the AAF issue 'talked about,' or a presentation made on the subject matter, at roughly every other meeting ---since December 2013. That is by design, in order to keep the public informed as to the importance of the issue. In addition, we are fully cognizant that FEC/Fortress/AAF controls the rail bed. The City's actions are meant to protect our citizens to the greatest extent possible. Joe Griffin City Manager City of Sebastian 1225 Main Street Sebastian, FL 32958 772-388-8200 office 772-581-0149 fax www.citvofsebastian.o[g From: Robert Mcpartlan [mailto:rmcpartiC@hotmail.coml Sent: Thursday, September 25, 2014 2:49 PM To: Joseph Griffin Cc: Sally Maio Subject: Fwd: AAF EIS Joe, Please respond to email. Probably have Frank review. Bob Sent from my iPad Begin forwarded message: Resent-From:<CouncilmemberMcPartlanaCityofSebastian.org> From: Joel Tallant <chef(u,hotmail.com> v Date: September 25, 2014 at 9:31:41 AM EDT To: <bmciartlan@cityofsebastian.org> Subject: AAF EIS Good Morning , As a resident of the City of Sebastian I am appalled by the decision of the City Council to support AAF's plan for the High Speed Train from Orlando to Miami. It will be a detriment to our small fishing village that we all have worked hard to keep! Below are just a few of my concerns that I feel you have overlooked and should take the time to investigate. No where can I find in the EIS showing the results of : " Buildings where Rayleigh waves would cause structural damage." As just using the term "vibrations" does not cover everything accredited to all vibrations in a whole. No where in the EIS does it address the Rayleigh waves. Why? Explain. What geographical land type was used in the study to determine the impact of the vibrations/Rayleigh waves from the trains passing by? Where there any distinctions made on the type, age and conditions of the structures in close proximity to the train tracks? And if so, what? In the Summary of the EIS it states( page 5-18)," The Project would have no direct or indirect effects ( noise, vibration or change in setting) to the historic resources located adjacent to the N -S Corridor. " This is NOT AT ALL the case, there is historic properties directly adjacent to the N -S Corridor in Indian River County alone not to mention the other counties affected. What if any will be done to mitigate these issues with the areas that will be impacted by the vibrations/Rayleigh waves from the High -Speed trains and increased freight train traffic? In Rayleigh surface waves the particle motion has both horizontal and vertical components. No where is this discussed in the EIS. The problem to find out a low-cost method to install barrier walls against train -induced ground vibrations has been under investigation. The purpose is to isolate buildings from the traveling Rayleigh surface waves. This usually happens when the soil consists of soft layers of clay. Such places are locating very often in coastal places, where the soil originates from the sea bottom sediments or erosion sludge conveyed by rivers. One promising work method is sheet -piling, in which case the barrier has to be composed of sheet - pile wall with soft isolation layer at its building side. The purpose of the wall is to reduce the amount of soil masses to be removed and also to support the isolation layer. Isolation material could be air cushion or granular material like artificial gravel. The installation work can be carried out by computer controlled boom system, which allows drive the pile wall in prescribed inclination angle. The boom is equipped with an integrated gripper -driver unit and may belong to an excavator with track wheels or it may be mounted on a customized wagon. By changing cyclically the bucket and sheet piler, the work process can run in piling -digging -layering -filling phases semi -automatically, where the operator assists changes from one internally automatic task to a next one. In all of the material it shows that the trains will be traveling at a distance of 50 feet from structures, this is not the case in most cities along the Treasure coast. In Figure 4.2.2-4 the AAF EIS shows Locomotive Powered Passenger or Freight trains traveling at 50 mph. However, with existing speeds of the freight trains that travel along the N -S Corridor at 54.2 mph, no where does it show what the impact of the High -Speed train traveling at 103.34 mph through Indian River County, 93.38 mph in St. Lucie Co. and 76.96 mph in Martin Co.

Consequently, the language explaining the grant program (shown below) anticipates that 100% of the total improvement cost would be incurred by the applying jurisdiction. As a result, the program construct requires that total improvement cost (to the applicant) be determined subsequent to and independent of any improvements performed by entities that are not a party to the joint participation agreement, by which the state grant will be allocated. This point was explained thoroughly in our recent conference call. Please provide a copy of the agreement binding you to a 10% match ($50,000) for the Supplemental Safety Measures (SSM's) at the crossings in Sebastian along with the other documents you indicated below. Once validated this amount would be the total cost incurred by the local entity applicant (City of Sebastian). The state grant (if awarded) would provide the applicant (by agreement) up to 50% of this total cost. If you have any additional questions please let me know. Regards, .Andre U. Goins, P.E.

I filled it out some and put it in a better format to read. I know you may not be interested in most of the stuff, so just use what you need. Note the archaeological in or near the St.Sebastian bridge landing at Roseland. Last night, I talked to Ken Hardin of Janus Research and kidded him about missing two NR Districts... didn't tell him where, he had no clue where. Obvious he did not do the report, but he is probably looking at it this morning. When I ask him and the FRA head guy (David) separately about no local input, no coordination, and not contacting local people before DEIS was written - David was concerned and seems sincerely interested. Of course, his answer was to write a letter and they would be sure to answer. Ken gave the "song & dance" about contacting CI -Gs and "informants" - none, of course, are connected to Indian River County. Hope this is of help. If you need anything else, please let i-ne know.

Visualize This: A True High -Speed Train System built along either the 1-95 or Florida Turnpike Transportation Corridors West of our Coastal Cities and Towns. The Florida East Coast Railway Tracks have been replaced with a Landscaped Linear State Park Greenway with Bicycle and Walking Paths that are highly utilized by our citizens and enhances the quality of life rather than destroying it. You may recall that a True Florida High -Speed Rail Project with speeds of up to 186 mph was proposed with initial service between Tampa and Orlando and with plans to extend the service south to Miami along the existing 1-95 and Florida Turnpike Corridors that already have traffic overpasses and noise abatement walls along the populated areas and which would allow the trains to attain much higher speeds. There would be no issues with the trains bisecting the towns and stopping Automobile, Public Safety Vehicles, Marine Traffic and Pedestrians along the way 32 times (or more) each day. Governor Rick Scott, during his second month on the job in 2011 rejected a whopping $2.4 Billion Dollars in Federal Money to help build this Proposed High Speed Rail Line from Tampa to Orlando and Orlando to Miami. Why? Now Privately Owned Florida East Coast Railway is trying to force a Second Class Not -So -High -Speed System on us using a century old rail right of way that has long outlived its usefulness. This Route through the Treasure and Space Coasts bisecting our cities and towns will significantly damage the Quality of Life, Health and Safety of our Citizens and the Economies of the Region. One of the major incentives for FECR to upgrade the tracks is to allow more Freight Trains through our region as a result of the Port of Miami Improvements which will allow Huge International Container ships to unload there and the containers to be transported via rail with more potential for derailment disasters along the way. Scott has now pledged $215 Million in Florida State funds to build a massive Orlando Transit Hub with an additional $467 Million from the Greater Orlando Aviation Authority totaling $682 Million to serve the Privately Owned All Aboard Florida. This helps only Miami, Ft. Lauderdale, Palm Beach and Orlando and does nothing for the Treasure and Space Coasts as both passenger and freight trains loudly rumble through our cities and towns and across our waterways at least 32 times per day. suggest the following: Offer Florida East Coast Railway / All Aboard Florida an easement along the Florida Turnpike or 1-95 to build new tracks in exchange for vacating and abandoning the existing tracks through the centers of our coastal cities and towns and deed the land and right of way to the State to be used as Linear Park. The State, in cooperation with the Cities and Towns along the route can then remove the tracks and install bicycle and walking paths with Florida Landscaping along the Greenbelt. Two Much Better Route Options: • The Turnpike Route is more direct and would significantly cut the travel time - Downtown Miami to Orlando International Airport is approximately 230 Miles. • The 1-95 to SR -528 Route is approximately 273 miles but runs closer to 4 International Airports along the wa : Miami, Ft Lauderdale -Hollywood, Palm Beach and Melbourne. Shuttles from the airports delivering people to a True High Speed Train Terminal would greatly increase the number of passengers utilizing the trains and boost the Florida economy.

FL 34964 TELEPHONE (772) 4646200 FAX (77Z) 464-2666 CSX Transportation is one of only five Class One railroads in the United States. CSX presently furnishes passenger rail service between Miami and Orlando via Amtrak. If high-speed rail is such a great opportunity, I wonder why CSX has not jumped at the chance to provide that service. In fact, no railroad company is planning to provide the high- speed rail service. The current proposal is by a Wall Street hedge fund, Fortress Investment Group (FIG). Fortress bought the FEC in 2007 and has set up All Aboard Florida as a subsidiary. At Monday's meeting with the Board of County Commissioners, the All Aboard Florida representative acknowledged that the money being borrowed by All Aboard Florida would be used to build a second and third set of tracks that would be used by the FEC in its freight operations. That's only half of the story. The first, second and third set of tracks and the roadbed will be owned by the FEC and will not be subject to the lien of the mortgage given by All Aboard Florida to secure its debt. If All Aboard Florida should fail, then the FEC has the improved roadbed and the second and third set of tracks free and clear of any lien. 1 �//f' ,✓res f/F�"� /3 V l isflyer vEic Letters to the Editor Page 2 September 19, 2014 That strikes me like a bank lending someone the money to build and furnish a home and taking back a mortgage on only the furniture.

As a new home owner on Louisiana Avenue in Sebastian, Florida, it concerns us that there is a potential of additional train tracks and train activity directly in front of our home. The increased train activity will not only affect us as homeowners but it will negatively impact those who do business in Sebastian, those who shop in Sebastian and those who visit Sebastian. Increased volume of freight trains or use of high speed passenger trains brings no direct gain or value to our community; in fact, it will substantially decrease the value of our community. We strongly vote "NO" All Aboard Florida. However, if we cannot stop this project we would ask that there is consideration to moving it from the East Coast of Florida to a less populated area. if this project is supported and comes directly through our small communities in Florida, we would expect there to be a substantial decrease in property taxes for both residents and business owners along the route.

A representative of AAF told the St. Lucie County Commission that two more train tracks ( not one) are planned to run through our towns. So we can multiply the number of track closings that will cut off our people from their emergency room and doctors. Just as upsetting is the fact that more freight trains will be running through our towns. A few nights ago a late night show cited the number of train wrecks throughout the US and Canada. These wrecks not only blocked rail crossings for hours, but killed town residents when freight trains carrying oil, gas and other dangerous cargo exploded sending walls of fire blocks wide. Also cited was the fact that freight trains are pulling 100 cars at a time. AAF has misrepresented their financial plans to the public. A now proven fact. So what about their stated plan to run high-speed passenger trains? Passenger trains are unprofitable. This explains no passenger train stops. But freight trains make money. The expanded Miami Port is bringing in more large cargo ships that need transport of their cargo Put these facts together and AAF plans are clear. They plan freight trains picking up ship cargo in Miami to move it north. Very bad news for all Treasure Coast towns where train tracks run right through high population neighborhoods. I hope our city council will take a firm stand, on the record, against AAF. Tell them to go to ----- I95.

Lakeview Drive Sebastian, Florida 32958 772-228-9207 1. I am against adding passenger trains on the tracks along Rt. 1 that pass Barber Road. 2. We in Park Place although not directly adjacent to the tracks can hear the freight trains that pass blowing their horns. 3. One of the reasons I moved there was because shopping at Publix and Walgreens on the corner of Rt. 1 and Barber was close by. I could be held up countless times a day trying to reach these close locations. 4. All of my doctors are along Rt. 1 in Sebastian or south in Vero Beach. These trains would add to my time trying to keep appointments. 5. I have to cross the tracks to get to all the cultural activities and restaurants in Sebastian and Vero Beach at some point if not at Barber Road. 6. These 32 additional trains will lower the value of my house because of the noise and inconvenience they will cause. 7. With that many trains going 100 mph there is bound to be an accident at some point in time either with the passenger trains or concurrently running freight trains. 8. Although only speculated, I do believe there will be increased freight traffic with the new additional tracks. 9. I also think the passenger train service will not be financially feasible and thus will want a government bailout which means my tax dollars will be paying for this. 10. I see no local benefit at all in any way to approving this passenger service. x" �.� .,�- ;. I-" `�, . ,. =' t - ,; N •r •.fir d' to L H VI O O U . LL N L. m!

B. Beth L. Mitchell President / CEO Sebastian River Area Chamber of Commerce 700 Main Street, Sebastian, FL 32958 Phone: 772-589-5969 1 Fax: 772-589-5993 www.SebastianChamber.com ut You ' CER'7'IRED CHAMBER !i/3M �R DR M RCE Kate, The following write-ups are for the two archaeological sites and two historical districts not discussed in the DEIS report. I have also added a "possible" list of Section 4 (f) sites with an explanation. I hope this is what you wanted. This would be the short list — I still have the long list. Ruth **************** Archaeological Sites - These are two known "paleo" sites located along the FEC corridor where upgrading of the railroad bridges are to take place. Without detailed plans (only the 30% plans are available) it is difficult to determine impacts. - The Vero Man site is eligible for National Register and the Gifford Bones may also be eligible. Vero Man: This site is located along the Main Relief Canal (Van Valkenburg Creek) — The railroad bridge currently over the Main Relief Canal is slated to be upgraded. Historically, the Main Relief Canal was a tidal creek called Van Valkenburg and was joined by several smaller creeks in the area near present day U.S. 1 The channelization of this creek was part of the Plan of Reclamation proposed by Indian River Farms Land Development when they purchased land from Florida's Trustees of the Internal Improvement Fund (C. 1913) As the channelization of Van Valkenburg Creek took place not only fossilized "paleo" bones of mega fauna appeared out of the canal banks, but human bones were unearthed at two separate sites — male and female — hence Vero Man. This is a large site (approximately 18 acres or more) and extends east under the railroad and U.S. 1- originally Dixie Highway. The site also extends to the north and to the southwest. The construction of a City stormwater project was halted several years ago because of the impacts to this expanded site. 1 Archaeologists from Mercyhurst University, the local Old Vero Ice Age Committee, and scientists from the University of Florida have been working at this site over the past few years. Significant artifacts along with value information have been uncovered during recent excavations that continue to support the theory that this area was important to a large number of extinct species and to the Paleo-Indians that hunted them. The timeline has been established at 12,000 to 14,000 years ago and may be even older. The archaeological activities, the research, and continued excavations are providing valuable information about the earliest people to inhabit Florida. The Vero Man site — Florida Master Site File #811109 - has been determined to be eligible for the National Register by Florida's State Historical Preservation Officer (SHPO). The present of Paleo-Indians, extinct species, possibly hunting weapons, and an authenticated prehistoric art etching may make this site considered a potential World Site. Status: Listed NRHP Impacts: Disturbance and destruction during bridge upgrade. Only 30% of plans available. Gifford Bones: Located at the North Relief Canal/Houston Creek, the archaeological site is recorded as Florida Master Site File #811107 and #811108. These sites are locally known as the Gifford Bones and in Rouse (1951) page 171, a description of the sites are given. FMSF #811107 is noted as "in side of drainage ditch" where bones of ground sloth, camel, mastodon and other animals were found. At FMSF #811108 a stemmed flint projectile point "Dug out of top of... brown sand in new canal north of Gifford ... ". The drainage ditch was constructed for the Plan of Reclamation of the Indian River Farms Land Development Company. This narrow canal on both the west and east sides of the RR bridge and Old Dixie Highway Bridge have yielded fossilized bones for decades. This is a "paleo" site and the present of mega fauna and a possible stemmed flint projectile (#81R08) could prove these sites to be as significance as the Vero Man site that is just few miles to the south. In the 1990 archaeological survey conducted by Indian River County, this area was not investigated because of the active uses of both a working railroad and busy roadway. Status: These sites may prove to be one large site and are potentially eligible for NRHP. Impacts: Disturbance and destruction during bridge upgrade. Only 30% plans are available. Historic Districts: 2 The two Districts listed below are National Register Districts. These two National Register Districts were not acknowledged or discussed in the NETS. Old Town Sebastian Historic District East*: Status: Listed August 2003 on National Register of Historical Places. Impacts: Vibration, noise, safety, viewshed Old Town Sebastian Historic District West*: Status: Listed January 2004 on National Register of Historical Places. Impacts: Vibration, noise, safety, viewshed These two Districts are separated by the Florida East Coast Railway Corridor FMSF #81111518. Old Town Sebastian Historic District West includes a segment of the original Dixie Highway (now called Louisiana Street) along with a number of buildings and structures in a narrow strip between Louisiana and the RR tracks to the east. While Old Town Sebastian Historic District East faces U.S. 1 with the RR tracks to the west. There are over 40 contributing sites or buildings in these two districts with a mixture of both residential and businesses. The period of significance is 1893 with other important dates of 1893, 1920 and 1946. The Bama Lawson House is located in the East District and was placed on the NRHP in 1990. These two Districts were presented to SHPO in Tallahassee as one application for review, but the National Register Review Board recommended two Districts because a third linear district eligible for National Register would compliment both an East and West District. That linear district was the Florida East Coast Railway — FMSF #1497/81R1518. Today, we have Old Town Sebastian Historic District East and Old Town Sebastian Historic District West with the original alignment of the Florida East Coast Railway (eligible for NRHP) dividing the two Districts. [See Map] *Viewshed: The Indian River Lagoon National Scenic Byway follows U.S. 1 south from Brevard County. In the vicinity of the two National Register Districts in Sebastian [Old Town Sebastian East and West] the viewshed includes the Atlantic Coastal Ridge (an ancient dune line), the Byway (U.S. l), the Sebastian "working waterfront", and the Indian River Lagoon. - Ruth 3 Possible Federal Transportation Act - Section 4(f): Pocahontas Park was discussed as a Section 4(f) in Table 4.4.5-2, page 4-125. The Park is owned and managed by the City of Vero Beach, not Indian River County as reported. The DEIS did not discuss that this City Park also contains two historic buildings (see below). - Ruth 1. Pocahontas Park and Historic Buildings Indian River Farms Land Development Company platted the Town of Vero for their 55,000 acre land development. In the 1913 plat for the town, Pocahontas Park was incorporated as the town's park and located adjacent to the Florida East Coast Railway. Pocahontas Park's facilities include a playground, tennis courts, shuffle board, fountains, and shaded benches. It is located within the boundaries of the designated Vero Beach Main Street Program, a recognized statewide program. Status: Potentially eligible Impacts: Vibration, noise, and safety. Also, located within Pocahontas Park are the two buildings below. This Park is listed on page 4-141 of 4.4.5 Cultural Resources of the DEIS. The write-up for Pocahontas Park is incorrect. This is a Park belonging to the City of Vero Beach. No mention is made of the location or the buildings within the Park and their functions. - Ruth Community Center (C.1955) — FMSF #81111464 is located at 2266 14th Avenue. This is the City's main community center. It is locally significance as a cultural resource. It is not in the APE as described for cultural resources, but the use of this building for community events would be impacted by the AAF proposal. Noise, vibration, and safe issues will be a challenge in this C.1955 building. The parking is in the APE and without fencing, barriers, and buffers to prevent people, especially children, from visiting the tracks; it is just accidents waiting to happen. This building is located within Pocahontas Park. Status: Locally significance Impacts: Vibration, noise, safety. Vero Heritage Center (C.1936) — FMSF #8111624 (aka Physical Arts Center) is located at 214614th Avenue. It was listed on the National Register of Historical Places in January 1993. Built during the depression years, this was the City's first community center. Leased and restored, the Vero Heritage, Inc. has continued to provide a place for events and meetings while operating a small museum dedicated to the citrus industry. 4 Again, noise, vibration, and safe issues will be a challenge for this non-profit and this C. 1936 building. The building is not in the APE as described for cultural resources, but the use of this building for events, meetings, weddings, and community affairs would be greatly impacted by the AAF proposal. The parking for this building is in the APE and without fencing, barriers, and buffers to prevent people, especially children, from visiting the tracks; it is just accidents waiting to happen. This building is located within Pocahontas Park. Status: Listed on NRHP Impacts: Vibration, noise, and safety. Neither the Hallstrom Farmstead nor the Conservation Area were discussed in the DEIS. The Hallstrom House Museum is NOT in the APE but the barns are. The barns are considered a Phase II of the House Museum project. Roland and Andy may know whether this should be considered a Section (f). — Ruth 2. Hallstrom Farmstead and Conservation Area: Hallstrom House Museum and Barns —1723 Old Dixie — FMSF #8111385 — This three-story brick house was built C. 1918 by Swedish immigrants growing pineapple and citrus along the Atlantic Coastal Ridge. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in June 2002. The Indian River County Historical Society inherited the House and five acres of the surrounding farmstead. This house was restored and is currently a House Museum. Phase II of this restoration will be the leased barns that are located across Old Dixie Highway, immediately adjacent to the FEC Tracks, within the APA as outlined in the DEIS. Indian River County purchased the remaining acreage (approximately 100 acres) from the Hallstrom estate as the Hallstrom Conservation Area. The acreage surrounding the House Museum on the Atlantic Coastal Ridge (ACR) is home to a number of endangered species — gopher tortoises, scrub jay, and indigo snakes. Lakela's mint, listed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife as a rare and endangered plant is found growing on the ACR and only in this area. Approximately 14 acres of the County's conservation lands are found east of Old Dixie and immediate adjacent to the FEC tracks. This includes the barns that are to be leased to the Historical Society for a Phase II restoration. This 14 acre tract contains both wetlands and shrub. The eastern border of these 14 acres is in the APE of the AAF project. The Historical Society and Indian River County has worked together to restore the cultural and natural resources of the entire Hallstrom Conservation Area. Status: Listed on NRHP - Society property only Impacts: Vibration, noise, and safety. 5 �c, „•�' �, "Ove,-'' .. -”' f.. J 51 gv- ;I Sebastian Historic Site$ aril 27.

A representative of AAF told the St. Lucie County Commission that two more train tracks ( not one) are planned to run through our towns. So we can multiply the number of track closings that will cut off our people from their emergency room and doctors. Just as upsetting is the fact that more freight trains will be running through our towns. A few nights ago a late night show cited the number of train wrecks throughout the US and Canada. These wrecks not only blocked rail crossings for hours, but killed town residents when freight trains carrying oil, gas and other dangerous cargo exploded sending walls of fire blocks wide. Also cited was the fact that freight trains are pulling 100 cars at a time. AAF has misrepresented their financial plans to the public. A now proven fact. So what about their stated plan to run high-speed passenger trains? Passenger trains are unprofitable. This explains no passenger train stops. But freight trains make money. The expanded Miami Port is bringing in more large cargo ships that need transport of their cargo Put these facts together and AAF plans are clear. They plan freight trains picking up ship cargo in Miami to move it north. Very bad news for all Treasure Coast towns where train tracks run right through high population neighborhoods. I hope our city council will take a firm stand, on the record, against AAF. Tell them to go to ----- I95.

CSX presently furnishes passenger rail service between Miami and Orlando via Amtrak. If high-speed rail is such a great opportunity, I wonder why CSX has not jumped at the chance to provide that service. In fact, no railroad company is planning to provide the high- speed rail service. The current proposal is by a Wall Street hedge fund, Fortress Investment Group (FIG). Fortress bought the FEC in 2007 and has set up All Aboard Florida as a subsidiary. At-Monday*---jheeting with the Board of County Commissioners, the All Aboard Florida representative acknowledged thaat.the money. being borrowed by All Aboard Florida would be used'to build a second and third set of tracks that would.be used by the FEC in� its freight operations. That's only half of the story. The first, second and third set of tracks and the roadbed will be owned by the FEC and will not be subject to the lien of the mortgage given by All Aboard Florida to secure its debt. If All Aboard Florida should fail, then the FEC has the improved roadbed and the second and third set of tracks free and clear of any lien. /3 v /F /C fl,0g EeP 'UE" i Letters to the Editor Page 2 September 19, 2014 That strikes me like a bank lending someone the money to build and furnish a home and taking back a mortgage on only the furniture.

By Crag Rubadoux and Tim Walters Posted June 23, 2014 Dove Be.. and \\'arse T. Price, FLORIDA TODAY 6:45 y.m EDTJsne 23. 2014 The deal, in the works for a year, was !mown as 'Project Pelican.' (Photo: FLORIDA TODAY FILE) Port Canaveral's new cargo era is underway. The port and a unit of a United Arab Emirates -based company signed a 35 -year deal Monday for the company to operate a cargo terminal at the port. Port officials say the deal with privately owned GulRainer and its new U.S. unit. GT USA, would create 2,000 direct and spinoff jobs when fully operational, including 500 at the port itself. They said Gulffainer plans to make a $100 million investment locally in infrastructure, equipment and staff. "Gufffainer has an incredible history of success, expansion and growth, and will be invaluable partners;" Canaveral Port Authority Chairman Tom Weinberg said. "They are a great partner for the future. This is an incredible new chapter here at Port Canaveral. This is a true game -changer that will strengthen our cargo operations." Port Canaveral Chief Executive Officer John Walsh said Monday's signing ceremony at the port's Cruise Terminal 6 is the celebration of "a new beginning herd'— one in which cargo begins to emerge from the shadows of the port's huge cruise business. Walsh said Monday was the culmination of a two-year effort to bring Gulftainer to Brevard County, dating back to initial contacts with the company by Walsh's predecessor, Stan Payne. Walsh renewed discussions with Gulffainer when he became CEO a year ago. What helped seal the deal with the company, Walsh said, was the port's acquisition of two massive cargo cranes and its plans for rail connections to the port. Badr Jafar, chairman of the executive board of the Gulffainer Group, said he expects his company eventually would handle 700,000 containers a year from Port Canaveral. http://www.fl oridatoday. comistorylmoneylcompaniesl2O l4/06/231gulftainer-port-canaveral-cargo-uael... 10/16/2014 Florida East Coast Railway: Fastest Trade Route - PortMiami - Miami -Dade County Customer Care About The Port Page 2 of 3 Phase One of the rail restoration project was completed in October 2013.

In August of 2013 I retired from a position in U.S. federal Senior Executive Service as the nation's maritime navigation authority. As part of my duties, I was responsible for permitting and regulation of over 18,000 bridges over the navigable waters of the United States. I also served as Dept. of Homeland Security representative to the White House's "President's Steering Committee on Federal Infrastructure Permitting and Review Process Improvement." And I am a retired USCG Captain, with more than 40 years of maritime experience. (Please see my attached full biography.) I am deeply troubled by the current and future retention of the totally inadequate St. Lucie and Loxahatchee bridges for the reasons detailed in the comments I am respectfully submitting for consideration by the Coast Guard. I am submitting two complementary but different sets of comments: One details my observations and suggestions related to the St. Lucie bridge and waterway; the second addresses the Loxahatchee bridge and waterway. Jupiter, Tequesta, Stuart and southern Martin County are water -oriented communities whose economies and attractions depend on accessible and usable waterways. As detailed in the attached comments, I believe that the current bridges negatively and unreasonably impact waterway traffic, which is inextricably tied to regional economies and local quality of life. This will be made even worse if rail activity is expanded. Thank you for the Coast Guard's proactive stance to address these issues. Anticipated growth in rail traffic will only aggravate existing problems. And, while 1 understand that you are not addressing any specific proposals for entirely new services, such as All Aboard Florida, that would impact these bridges, this process and your thoughtful consideration now will prepare us all to address those issues as well. Please feel free to reach out to me directly should you have additional questions, or require further clarification. Sincerely, Dana Goward, SES USCG (ret) CC: Stephen M. Ryan, Esq.

The bridge must either be completely removed, or replaced with one that is not unreasonably obstructive. In the interim, strict, highly predictable, long term scheduling of bridge openings and closings must be instituted to mitigate obstruction of the waterway. Background: Waterway Description & Navigation Considerations The waterway connects the communities of Palm City, Port St. Lucie, parts of Stuart, and the Okeechobee Waterway to the Atlantic and the north -south portion of the intra - coastal waterway. The Okeechobee Waterway connects the east and west coasts of Florida, is maintained at a depth of 8 feet and is suitable for both commercial tug -barge and recreational traffic. The 165 mile waterway from Stuart on the east coast to Ft. Myers on the west coast saves approximately 360 miles compared to rounding the Florida peninsula. The Army Corps of Engineers reports that approximately 10,000 vessels and 26,000 tons of cargo transit the waterways' nearby St. Lucie lock each year. The navigable waterway passes through a 50' B• 13 \ / 12VJ5 ��513 3 h F 11 f wide opening between the protected "' W% — ' " "' abutments of the FEC railroad bridge. This is the narrowest point that mariners must navigate on the 154 mile Okeechobee Waterway where the canal varies from 80 to 100 feet wide (some of the locks are 50' wide, but they are not in open water, subject to cross currents and do not pose navigation safety issues). ' These comments address only the current operation and condition of this bridge as of November 2014. A supplement will be provided to address proposals for increased use of the bridge included in the All Aboard Florida Draft EIS. When the bridge is closed it comes within 7' of the surface of the water, effectively closing the waterway - vessels that require less than 7' vertical clearance usually have very shallow drafts and do not need to use the channel portion of the waterway as they can safely pass under the bridges at numerous points. When the railroad bridge is open, waterway vertical clearance in the area is 65' under the adjacent Route 1 Highway Bridge, and 14' under the adjacent draw bridge on N. Dixie Highway. This drawbridge is manned by a bridge tender and will open upon demand. Transiting through these three bridges is challenging for many vessels because of the configuration of the waterway. Vessels must pass through three narrow bridge openings, which are not perfectly aligned, within less than a quarter mile. As with any choke point between large bodies of tidal waters, currents are strong except for brief windows during slack tide. Captains of tug and barge operations report that they must time their transits carefully so as to arrive when the tide is changing and the current is at its Maritime �ZJ Governance, LLC �ZJ As with any choke point between large bodies of tidal waters, currents are strong except for brief windows during slack tide. weakest. And while smaller vessels are able to pass each other safely, transits of the quarter -mile gauntlet by vessels of any size are limit the waterway to one way traffic. Changes in Rail Traffic and Waterway Use When the rail bridge was built, circa 1938, use of the waterway was much lower and trains were very infrequent. In the last 76 years: • The population in St. Lucie and Martin counties has grown from a few thousand to over 350,000 full time residents. The winter population in many areas increases by 20%. • The regional economy and lifestyle has shifted from mostly agriculture (pineapple farming) to waterway -oriented residential, and water -oriented commercial • The Atlantic intra -coastal waterway was built and intersected with the St. Lucie River • The Okeechobee Waterway was built connecting Ft. Myers, Palm City, Stuart, St. Lucie, the Atlantic intra -coastal waterway, and the Atlantic Ocean. • Waterway use between the St. Lucie River west of the FEC rail bridge and points east has greatly increased. During one 53 day period almost 13,000 transits were observed. This equates to over 88,000 per year. • The number of railroad bridge closures per day has greatly increased, and the closure times have gotten longer. Maritime �! Governance, LLC Waterway users from both sides of the bridge transit to use the waterways. Most of the marina (fifteen marinas) and dockage space in the area is west (upstream) of the bridge. These vessels, and those transiting from the Okeechobee Waterway, must pass through the FEC rail bridge to access the Atlantic Ocean and/or the Atlantic intra -coastal waterway, and contribute to the estimated 88,000 transits per year. The Gulf Stream is often within 8 to 14 miles off the coast making offshore fishing particularly attractive According to the FECR, the bridge closes the waterway approximately 14 times each day and the closures last approximately 20 minutes. Local residents, though, report more extended closures and indicate that closures of an hour are not uncommon when the bridge does not open in between trains. None of the closures are scheduled, nor are they announced more than a few minutes in advance. Users also have no way of knowing how long the closure will last. Bridge closures discourage users on both side of the bridge from fully using the waterways, especially since the closures are at random and of unpredictable length. The Bridge Does Not Meet the Reasonable Needs of Navigation Because: 1. It interferes with primary economic engine of the local economy and undermines the foundation upon which the local water -oriented communities were built. Huge -water oriented communities in Stuart, Palm City, St. Lucie and the surrounding areas, marine services, marine retail, and all the supporting business and economic activity would not exist, but for the presence and usability of the waterways. The importance of this type of economic activity is essential to the entire state of Florida and is well documented. The Florida Oceans and Coastal Council reported that the states coastal counties contribute about 79 percent of the state's economic productivity. "Florida's Ocean and Coastal Economies Report, Phase IL" Dr. James Cato, an economist, Florida Oceans and Coastal Council member, and former Director, School of Natural Resources and the Environment, University of Florida has testified that "Anything affecting coastal tourism, recreation and marine transportation has a huge impact on Florida's ocean economy... These sectors of economic activity represent 88 percent of Florida's ocean economy..:' "Oceans and Coast Drive Florida's Economy" Environmental News Service, 1 Oct2008 Over 450 vessels per day transit through the bridge on peak days. These can be a varied combination of large and small recreational vessels and Maritime 01 Governance, LLC larger tugs with barges. This mixture increases wait times as larger vessels must pass through more slowly and do not safely allow for traffic in the opposite direction, Many vessels must loiter for some period waiting for the bridge to open, burning fuel, increasing air emissions, and wasting time. Loitering also increases the risk of vessels colliding with each other, running aground or being set upon the bridge by strong currents. Rail bridge closures deter waterway use. While it is impossible to measure events that do not occur, it is, nevertheless, obvious that waterway use would be higher if the bridge never closed, and the surrounding community's economies would be that much stronger.' 2. The bridge's age and condition risks structural and mechanical failures that obstruct the waterway. While information on past bridge malfunctions was not immediately available for this paper, a casual inspection of the bridge shows that it has suffered from lack of attention and maintenance. As the 76 year-old bridge structure, materials and mechanisms continue to age and degrade, mechanical and material failures are certain. 3. Alternatives to obstructing the waterway exist, are available and feasible. Waterway users have only one route available to them, the railroad has several. Railroad tracks farther to the west are available, and in use, for both freight and passenger service. An elevated rail bridge is feasible. Bridges with grades of up to 4% support freight operations in other locations. Alternatives to using a 76 year-old, poorly maintained bridge that unreasonably obstructs the waterway are more expensive for the FECR. By not using these alternatives, though, FECR is imposing much greater costs on the citizens of the surrounding area. 2 While the local area is prosperous and growing, regional economic information is unfortunately not readily available. This information is crucial to public policy decisions, however, and such data and analyses must be incorporated into any decisions. For example, if an obstructive rail bridge decrements a $20B/yr local economy by half a percent, that would be a cost shift from the private rail company to taxpayers of $100M/yr. Similarly, if it degraded the value of $50B in property by half a percent, that would be a loss of $250M to taxpayers. Maritime Governance, LLC 4. Competent government agencies have determined that the bridge height does not provide for the reasonable needs of navigation. If FECR were to seek a permit to build this bridge today, it would be denied. US Coast Guard and US Department of Transportation policies specifically state preferences for fixed bridges over mobile bridges, whenever possible, as they minimize negative impacts to all transportation modes at these important intersections of systems. When the State of Florida constructed the Route 1 bridge over the St. Lucie River and adjacent to the FEC rail bridge it made a deliberate decision that a fixed bridge at 65' over the waterway would meet the needs of both navigation and highway traffic. Highway traffic is more continuous than rail traffic, so the parallel is not exact. However, as rail traffic has increased, both in the number of trains and their length, the parallel between the two has become much closer. For example, local officials and waterway users report that the rail bridge often does not open between individual trains to allow navigation, even if it means another 20 minutes the waterway will be closed. The FEC RR bridge is approximately 7' above the water when closed. The USCG Bridge Clearance Guide calls for bridges in this area to be 21' above the water when closed. Guidance for bascule bridges on the Okeechobee waterway between St. Lucie locks and the Atlantic inter -coastal waterway—see: http://www.uscg.mil/hg/cg5/cg551/bridge.asa From this web site: Bridges at the guide height "...will ordinarily receive favorable consideration under the bridge permitting process (33 CFR Chapter 1, Subchapter J - Bridges) as providing for the reasonable needs of navigation." The Bridge Does Not Meet the Reasonable Needs of Navigation. The Coast Guard must designate this bridge as an unreasonable obstruction to navigation under the Truman - Hobbs act and mandate its replacement. Mitigation Pending Removal or Replacement of the Bridge Until the bridge is removed or replaced, its negative impact on the waterway must be minimized. This requires that: 1. The waterway be open to navigation for at least 31 minutes each hour, 2. The length of openings allow passage of all vessels waiting, 3. The amount of time for any single closure does not exceed 15 minutes as this would discourage waterway use, and 4. The times that the waterway will be open are highly predictable and easily understood. Openings The law gives deference to waterways users because of their limited alternatives, and the multiple alternatives available to surface transportation. The waterway must be open at least 31 minutes per hour, and for at least 15 minutes per opening. Maritime ` Governance, LLC J Safe vessel transits are often limited by the narrow passage to one direction at a time, and the need for a slow to modest speed (no more than 10 to 15 knots). The length of the openings must allow passage for all vessels waiting on both sides to cross. With 88,000 transits per year and up to 450 per day, including large commercial vessels, waiting lines can be long. Less than 15 minutes would often be insufficient for vessels on both sides of the bridge to organize, accelerate, and individually pass under the bridge. Note that it is too narrow for safe two way traffic for many vessels. Waiting for the bridge to open degrades the boating experience significantly, and can drive potential waterway users to just stay home. According to one authority: "Americans spend roughly 37 billion hours each year waiting in line. The dominant cost of waiting is an emotional one: stress, bdtedom, that nagging sensation that one's life is slipping away. The last thing we want to do with our dwindling leisure time is squander it in stasis." Alex Stone "Why Waiting is Torture" New York Times Sunday Review Opinion Page, 18 August 2012. Informal interviews with users show that they consider a wait of 15 minutes or less reasonable. This is predicated upon the schedule of such waits being highly predictable so that users can structure their arrivals so as to avoid most closures altogether. As mentioned earlier, vessels loitering and trying to position themselves for when the bridge opens unnecessarily waste fuel, have increased air emissions due to the addition fuel burn and typically low engine speed, and run greater risk of collision, grounding and being set upon the bridge by strong currents. Predictability and Clarity Safe and enjoyable waterway use requires time and preparation. Numerous items of equipment, some of which is time consuming to prepare and requires special transport, is often involved. It is also often a group activity, so schedules of multiple people must be coordinated, sometimes weeks in advance. Minimizing the negative impact of rail bridge closures on waterway use requires that users have a long term predictable schedule of when the waterway will be open. This certainty will manage expectations, and allow users to adjust their activities and schedules accordingly. It is also important that schedules be clear, easily understood and recalled from memory. For example: "The bridge will open on the hour and half hour, and stay open for 20 minutes." We prefer that the schedule for the waterway being open is published in the Federal Register as part of the rulemaking. Less preferred, but acceptable, would be that the rulemaking provide for the schedule to be published at least 90 days in advance and that all schedules remain unchanged for at least 90 days. 8 Maritime vL Governance, LLC 7ti, Comments for USCG - Loxahatchee Bridge Operations' November 2014 Summary: Changes in rail traffic and maritime activity since 1935 have caused the Florida East Coast Railroad bridge over the Loxahatchee River to become an unreasonable obstruction to navigation. The bridge must either be completely removed, or replaced with one that is not unreasonably obstructive. In the interim, strict, highly predictable, long term scheduling of bridge openings and closings must be instituted to mitigate obstruction of the waterway. Background: Waterway Description & Navigation Considerations The navigable waterway passes through a narrow, 40'space between the protected abutments of the FEC railroad bridge. When the railroad bridge is open, waterway vertical clearance is 25' which is controlled by the adjacent Route 811 fixed highway bridge. The 3,000 mile intra - coastal waterway that traverses the Atlantic and Gulf coasts is immediately to the east of the two bridges. A third of a mile downstream the Route 1/A1A fixed highway bridge has 26' vertical clearance. When the railroad bridge is in use the waterway into and out of the Loxahatchee River system is closed as the bridge comes within 4' of surface of the water. ' These comments address only the current operation and condition of this bridge as of November 2014. A supplement will be provided to address proposals for increased use of the bridge included in the All Aboard Florida Draft EIS. Boats waiting for the bridge to open must often contend with strong tidal currents estimated at 7 to 8 knots. This is caused by the tide surging through a narrow river neck into and out of the very large basin and recreation area comprised of the three forks of the Loxahatchee River and the extensive, wide confluence area just west of the bridge. Boats waiting for the bridge to open can have difficulty avoiding being set onto the bridge, the shore, and each other. Maritime j. Governance, LLC 7� HOR CL 40 Fr VERT CL FT ►Aura uTIC CONTROL v(SESNOTE FOR FEC RR) The narrow passage and strong current beneath the bridge make it impossible, or at best unsafe, for even small vessels to pass each other. So traffic is almost always limited to one way at a time. Changes in Rail Traffic and Waterway Use When the rail bridge was built, circa 1935, use of the waterway was much lower and trains were very infrequent. In the last 79 years: • The local population has grown by approximately 10,000% • The regional economy and lifestyle has shifted from working agriculture to waterway -oriented residential, and water -oriented commercial • The intra -coastal waterway was built and intersected with the Loxahatchee • Waterway use between the Loxahatchee River system and other waterway areas has greatly increased. For 193 days during the first half of this year, the Jupiter Inlet District observed over 48,000 vessel transits through the rail bridge. This equates to over 90,000 a year. • The number of railroad bridge closures per day has greatly increased, and the closure times have gotten longer. While there are more than 1,200 boat slips upstream, waterway users from both sides of the bridge transit to use the waterway on the other side. Boaters from the east side of the bridge transit west to the broader and more sheltered areas of the river to water ski, jet ski, picnic on a wide and long sand bar at low -tide, and visit Jonathan Dickinson State Park. Boaters from the west side transit east to use the intra -coastal waterway, visit marinas, patronize restaurants, and enter the Atlantic. The Gulf Stream comes closer to shore in this area than anywhere else in the United States (between 1 and 2 miles) making offshore fishing particularly attractive. Average year-round water temperature is 78 degrees adding to the attractiveness of in -water and water -borne recreation. According to the FECR, the bridge closes the waterway approximately 14 times each day for approximately 20 minutes. Residents report that the closures can be much longer, though, lasting up to an hour when the bridge does not open between trains. Data collected by the Jupiter Inlet District, though, shows that the number of times per day the waterway is open for navigation during daylight hours varies greatly between zero and 16. None of the closures are scheduled, nor are they announced more than a few minutes in advance. Users also have no way of knowing how long the closure will last. 10 Maritime Governance, LLC Bridge closures discourage users on both side of the bridge from fully using the waterways, especially since the closures are at random and of unpredictable length. The Bridge Does Not Meet the Reasonable Needs of Navigation Because: 1. It interferes with primary economic engine of the local economy and undermines the foundation upon which the local water -oriented communities were built. Huge -water oriented communities in Jupiter, Tequesta, southern Martin County and northern Palm Beach County, marine services, marine retail, and all the supporting business and economic activity would not exist, but for the presence and usability of the waterways. The importance of this type of economic activity is essential to the entire state of Florida and is well documented. The Florida Oceans and Coastal Council reported that the states coastal counties contribute about 79 percent of the state's economic productivity. "Florida's Ocean and Coastal Economies Report Phase ll." Dr. James Cato, an economist, Florida Oceans and Coastal Council member, and former Director, School of Natural Resources and the Environment, University of Florida has testified that "Anything affecting coastal tourism, recreation and marine transportation has a huge impact on Florida's ocean economy... These sectors of economic activity represent 88 percent of Florida's ocean economy..." "Oceans and Coast Drive Florida's Economy" Environmental News Service,1 Oct 2008 Over 500 vessels per day transit through the bridge on peak days. Many, if not most, must loiter and wait for the bridge to open, burning fuel, increasing air emissions, and wasting time. Loitering also increases the risk of vessels colliding with each other, running aground or being set upon the bridge by strong currents. Rail bridge closures deter waterway use. While it is impossible to measure events that do not occur, it is, nevertheless, obvious that waterway use would be higher if the bridge never closed, and the surrounding community's economies would be that much stronger.2 2 While the local area is prosperous and growing, regional economic information is unfortunately not readily available. This information is crucial to public polity decisions, however, and such data and analyses must be incorporated into any decisions. For example, if an obstructive rail bridge decrements a $20B/yr local economy by half a percent, that would be a cost shift from the private rail company to taxpayers of $100M/yr. Similarly, if it degraded the value of $5013 in property by half a percent, that would be a loss of $250M to taxpayers. 11 Maritime �{ Governance, LLC 2. The bridge's age and condition has caused failures that obstructed the waterway. The risk of additional and more frequent obstructions is increasing. Upon one occasion a large piece of metal fell from the bridge and obstructed the waterway. Because it was not visible from the surface, several boats struck the metal and reported minor damage. Requests to the railroad for it to be removed went unheeded. The large metal object was eventually cleared from the waterway by the Jupiter Inlet District. Mechanical failures of the bridge mechanism have obstructed the waterway while it was being repaired. Extended waterway closures have resulted from a faulty locking system or signal system. With the bridge in the down position, trains have repeatedly stopped short of the crossing for the engineer to dismount, walk up to the bridge to ensure it is locked down and safe to cross. For south -bound trains this also blocks all three streets exiting the City of Tequesta and has resulted in complaints to FECR by the mayor. Very little to no preventive maintenance or care is evident to anyone walking out onto the bridge (the bridge is entirely accessible to casual pedestrians and even lacks land -side warning or "no trespassing" signs.) As the 79 year-old bridge structure, materials and mechanisms continue to age and degrade, an increase in mechanical and material failures is certain. 3. Alternatives to obstructing the waterway exist, are available and feasible. Waterway users have only one route available to them, the railroad has several. Railroad tracks farther to the west are available, and in use, for both freight and passenger service. An elevated rail bridge is feasible. Bridges with grades of up to 4% support freight operations in other locations. US Coast Guard and US Department of Transportation policies specifically state preferences for fixed bridges over mobile bridges, whenever possible, as they minimize negative impacts to all transportation modes at these important intersections of systems. When the State of Florida constructed the route 811/AlA bridge over the Loxahatchee and adjacent to the FEC rail bridge it made a deliberate decision that a fixed bridge at 25' over the waterway would meet the needs of both navigation and highway traffic. Highway traffic is more continuous than rail traffic, so the parallel is not exact. However, as rail traffic has increased, both in the number of trains and their length, the parallel between the two has become much closer. For example, local officials and waterway users report that when individual trains are separated by 20 minutes or less, the rail bridge will not open to allow navigation between train crossings. 12 Maritime yL'• Governance, LLC ?

Dr. Anil Agrrnval ABSTRACT Vibrations are produced during various operations from railway and roads to foot traffic, it propagates in different mediums. Following are examples of the reactions, due to vibrations, caused in parent -mediums and its surrounding: • damage during the production of Micro -Nano scale equipments, for instance silicon -chips and devices related to Nanotechnology; • produces error during experiments in labs equipped with lasers, sensors or micro- scopes; • creates hazardous environment in operation -theaters at hospitals, particularly Neurosurgery; • long-term contact causes damages in buildings; minor effects such as cracks, which in critical cases could result in collapse, especially in historical buildings. • Perceptible sustained vibration can cause nuisance for occupants of buildings. Our proposal is a structural -design that will resist vibration. The design is of a floor isolated from its vibrating base, which has sandwiched a system of isolator, dampers and springs. This Single Degree Of Freedom (SDOF) structure reduces intensity of propagating vibration. This research will be helpfiil in different areas of industries. The application of technology includes: semi -conductor facilities, hospitals, high precision labs, and manufacturing and maintaining equipments related to Nanotechnology. This out come could be applied to protect historical buildings and resist vibrations in industrial machineries. The objective of this research is to investigate the effectiveness of floor isolation systems in isolating vibration transmitted to a building in New York. paper 09 1 Seattle, Washington I August 8-12, 2007 Proceedings of the 2007 Earthquake Engineering Symposium for Young Researchers IN RODUCTION: PROBLEM STUDIED: Vibration is one of the main factors for fatigue in structures. Produced by different sources vibrations propagate from one medium to another. This could cause serious damage in industries producing Micro and Nano scale equipments. Vibrations could also produce error during experiments in high -precision labs equipped with lasers, sensors or microscopes. Surgery could be hazardous in operation -theaters affected of vibrations. Long-term contact to vibrations can causes damages in buildings, minor effects such as cracks, which in critical cases could result in collapse, especially in historical buildings. Perceptible sustained vibration can cause nuisance for occupants of buildings, which could cause diseases such as mild -deafness, memory -loss, and aggressive -behavior. My research was done to: analysis effect of vibration in building, and find efficient way to reduce intensity of vibration propagating in structures. A building at Riverside at 158th Street, New York City, USA, was chosen as the site for investigation. Accelerometer was used to collect the data for theoretical analysis; acceleration of vibrating floor was measured. Computer programs, Matlab"m and Working Mode1T'4, were used to calculate and analysis theoretical results. Analysis was done to reduce intensity of the vibration. OBJECTIVE Objective of this investigation is to: 1. Analyze the effects of micro -vibrations in structures 2. Conduct research on various buildings heavily effected by vibration, especially bridges and tunnels 3. Build a model that demonstrate feasibility of the researched theoretical calculations BACK GROUND RESEARCH Common sources of vibration were investigated (Table 1).

Building wave barriers to isolate from vibration sources by digging trenches around building boundary. Wave barriers are expensive to build and take lots of space for implication thus it is not viable for urban area. 2. Building facility far away from the vibration sources. (i.e. away from railways and roads). Site of location increases transportation cost of human and goods also it makes facility isolated for individuals. RESEARCH APPROACH Primary study was done to measure vibration in building under Riverside in New -York. Objective is to rise building for office, Building seems to have high level of traffic - induced vibration, one possible solution is to use isolated floor. Acceleration of vibrating floor was measured using sensitive accelerometer for theoretical analysis; this data was collected dining medium rush hour. Computer programs, MatlabTM and Working Mode1Tm, were used to calculate and analysis theoretical results. Acceleration data was passed through high-pass filter to remove low frequency static component in Matlab. A high pass filter with cutoff frequency of 1 Hz was used. Acceleration data was integrated using Simpson's Method to obtain velocity and time history. Further analysis was done to obtain One -Third Octave Spectrum from velocity data. This analysis was done to reduce intensity of the vibration. Bridge Figure 2: Building at 158a' Street and Riverside in New paw 09 York with Micro-VibrahPon. (Working Moth".

Further analysis could be done fi-om reported data; as discussed in background research this data was taken dining medimn rush hour(i.e 3pm), the intensity of vibration could change if data is taken during rush-hour(i.e. 5pm). paper 09 7 Seattle, Washington i August 8-12, 2007 4M M, Proceedings of the 2007 Earthquake Engineering Symposium for Young Researchers AQ` 0 ' 10 3(J 4Q 5U SCI 70 8Q 90 Figure 6: Room 1, Velocity vs. Frequency Figure 7: Room 2, Velocity vs. Frequency Above is a One -Third Octave Spechum, graphical demonstration of Fourier Transformation (FFT) of the data obtained through the experiments, where Velocity vs. Frequency is axis.

Gordon Shaw David Williams The OZA Group, Canada SYNOPSIS Construction vibrations may be harmful to adiacent and remote structures, sensitive instruments and De(Mle Construction vibration sources have a wide range of energy, displacement, velocity and acceleration transmitted on the ground. Effects of different dynamic sources and soil conditions on construction vibrations is analyzed. Consequences of construction vibrations are developed in various ways. It is important to assess intolerable vibrations before the beginning of construction activities. Guidelines for preconstruction survey are presented. Pre - construction survey and prediction of anticipated vibrations by IRFP method, monitoring and control of measured vibrations are important steps in preventing intolerable vibration effect. http://www.vulcanhammer.net/svinkin/vibration.php 11/6/2014 I Vibration Environmental Effect of Construction Operations Page 2 of 13 Implementation of construction projects involve various sources of construction vibrations such as pile driving, dynamic compaction, blasting and operating heavy equipment. These sources generate elastic waves in soil which may adversely affect surrounding buildings. Their effects range from serious disturbance of working conditions for sensitive devices and people, to visible structural damage. The effect of construction vibrations on surrounding buildings, sensitive devices and people in the urban environment is a significant consideration in obtaining projects approvals from appropriate agencies and authorities. Disruption of some businesses, possible structural damage and annoying_ people are the problems. The dynamic effect of construction vibrations on adjacent and remote structures depends on soil deposits at a site and susceptibility ratings of structures. It is likely that intolerable structure vibrations may be induced in close proximity of the driven piles, but foundations settlements resulting from soil vibrations in loose soils may occur at various distances from the source. There are two opposite extreme opinions regarding vibration effects on surrounding neighborhood. On the one hand according to human perception and psychology, construction vibrations are the causes of all damage in structures, but on the other hand the vibration effect from construction activities is negligible, Oriard (26). Both opinions are wrong and misleading. Proper evaluation of vibration effect is necessary. It is important to assess the dynamic effect before the beginning of construction activities and at the time of construction. Therefore monitoring construction vibrations have to be started prior to the beginning of construction works at a site and be continued during construction to provide the safety and serviceability of sound and vulnerable structures. Monitoring and control of construction vibrations were studied by a number of researchers e.g. Attewell and Farmer (1), Barkan (2), Crockett (6), Clough and Chameau (4), Dowding (8), Heckman & Ha eg_rty (13). Lacy and Gould (16), Massarsch (21), Mayne (23), Richart et al. (29), Svinkin (37), Wiss (42), Wood and Theissen (43), Woods (44) and others. This paper presents some guidelines for preconstruction surveprediction, measurement, analysis and control of soil and structure vibrations generated by construction activities at a site. CONSTRUCTION VIBRATIONS Vibrating, impacting, rotating, and rolling construction equipment is used for soil excavation, modification and improvement. Machinery with dynamic loads and blasting are sources of construction vibrations. The most prevalent powerful sources of construction vibrations are pile driving, dynamic compaction, and blasting. Blasting energy much larger than energy of other sources of construction vibrations. For example, the energy released by 0.5 kg of TNT is 5400 U Dowding (8). Such energy is 50 to 1000 times the energy transferred to piles duringdriving and 15 to 80 times the energy transferred to the ground during dynamic compaction of soils, Svinkin (37). Vibration Classification Ground vibrations generated by construction sources can be roughly separated into two categories: transient and steady-state vibrations. The first category includes single event or sequence of transient vibrations and each transient pulse of varying duration is dying away before the next impact occurs. Such vibrations are excited by air, diesel or steam impact pile drivers, by dynamic compaction of loose sand and granular fills, and also by highway and guarry blasts. The dominant frequency of propagating waves from impact sources ranges mostly between 3 Hz and 60 Hz, Svinkin (37). The vibration records of ground vibrations close to the pile driver are similar to those from forge and drop hammers, Steffens (31). The vibration effects from impact hammers are alike to those from vibrations generated by forge hammers because of comparable energy released and the dominant frequency range. The second category contains continuous harmonic or some other periodic forms. These forced vibrations are caused by vibratory pile drivers, double acting impact hammers operating at relatively high speeds, and heavy machinery. http://www.vulcanhammer.net/svinkin/vibration.php 11/6/2014 Vibration Environmental Effect of Construction Operations Page 3 of 13 Vibratory_pile driving equipment is wide spread dynamic source of construction vibrations. The most important characteristics of this machines are frequency with the resultant relationships between dynamic force and eccentric moment. Low frequency machines have vibratory frequency between 5-10 Hz and used mainly for piles with big mass and toe resistance such as concrete and large steel pipe piles. Medium frequency machines have the vibratory frequency range of 10-30 Hz and used with light weight piles such as sheet piles and small pipe piles. High frequency machines operate at frequencies of more than 30 Hz. The major advantage of these machines is their lowered transmission of ground excitation to adiacent structures, Warrington (40). Vibration Propagation Sources of construction vibrations generate body (compression and shear) waves and surface waves of which Rayleigh waves are the primary type, Barkan (2) and Richart et al. (29). These waves transmit vibrations through soil medium. Rayleigh waves have the largest practical interest for design engineers because building foundations are placed near the ground surface. In addition, surface waves contain more than 2/3 of the total vibration energy and their peaks particle velocily are maior on the velocity records. Rayleigh waves induce vertical and radial horizontal soil vibrations. In horizontal layering soil medium, a large transverse component of motion could be caused by a second type of surface waves called Love waves rather than other wave types. Waves propagate outward the source in all directions. Spectra of the radial and transverse components of horizontal soil vibrations may have a few maxima and the one corresponding the frequenc, off the source is not always the largest. In general, faster attenuation of high frequency components is the primary cause of changes of soil vibrations with distance from the source. However, some records can not be explained by this mechanism and the effect of soil strata heterogeneity and uncertainties of the geologic profile should be taken into account, Svinkin (34). The waves travel outward from the construction source and attenuate in the results of geometrical spreading and material damping. It is common to calculate displacement amplitude reduction of the Rayleigh wave between two points at distances r- and r2 from the source as (r, /D)0-5 with a factor exp[-a(r--r2)l where a is the coefficient of attenuation, Golitsin (10). However, there are certain difficulties in determination of the coefficient, a, forrg ound vibrations from construction and industrial sources. This coefficient could be inadequate for different distances between points of measurements. On account of wave refraction and reflection from boundaries of diverse soil layers, an arbitrary arrangement of geophones at a site can yield incoherent results of ground vibration measurements because waveforms measured at arbitrary locations at the site might represent different soil lavers, Svinkin (37). Besides, the coefficient, a, depends on the soil resistance to pile penetration. During hard driving, these coefficients tend to be higher than those where hard driving is not encountered. Accordingto o experimental data from Clough and Chameau (4). the coefficients, a, were 1.3-2.5 times greater for hard driving than those for normal driving. A scaled -distance approach, Wiss (42) and Woods (44), uses relationship between energy, W. of source and surface distance, D. where velocity, v, is calculated as (D/W0.51n where the value of 'n' yields a slope in a log-logplot between 1 and 2. The modified scaled -distance approach provides calculation of the peak particle velocity (PPV) of ground vibrations as a function of the source velocity, Svinkin (35). Ma nom) suggested for dynamic compaction a relationship between the impact velocity of a free falling weight and PPV of ground vibrations as PPV= 0.2(2gH)0-5(d/ro)'1.1 where g=gravitational constant, H = falling height, d/rn = distance normalized to the weight radius. Empirical equations employed for assessment of expected soil vibrations from construction and industrial sources usually only allow calculation of a vertical peak amplitude of vibrations and not always with sufficient accuracy. These equations cannot incorporate specific differences of soil conditions at each site because heterogeneity and spatial variation of soil properties strongly affect characteristics of propagated waves in soil from construction and industrial vibration sources. A new Impulse Response Function Prediction method (IRFP) has been originated by Svinkin (34, 36) for determining complete time domain records on existing soils, structures and equipment prior to installation of construction and industrial vibration sources. The IRFP method has significant advantages in comparison with empirical equations and analytical procedures. http://www.vulcanhammer.net/svinkin/vibration.php 11/6/2014 Vibration Environmental Effect of Construction Operations Page 4 of 13 Vibration Damage and Disturbance Criteria A number of attempts have been made to connect vibration parameters (displacement, velocity and acceleration) with observed human annoying, disturbances of sensitive devices, and structural damage, for example, Crandell (5), Medearis (24), Nichols et al. (25), Raush (28), Siskind et al. (30) and others. Richart et al. (29) demonstrated some results of such studies in graphical form for structure and machine vibration limits combined with human perception limits. It was found that structural damage could be well correlated with the peak particle velocity (PPV) of structure vibrations. The same criterion for structural damage of residential buildings was set at 50 mm/s peak particle velocity in the frequency range of 3-100 Hz. Nichols et al. (25). For commercial and engineered structures, Wiss (4 1) suggested to use a conservative limit of 100 mm/s. Building damage occurs in the result of combined influence of structure vibration displacement, velocity, acceleration and frequency. The necessity to take into account the vibration frequency to assess the vibration effect on structures was underlined in a number of publications, for example, Dowding (7, 8), Medearis (24), Siskind et al. (30), Svinkin (32) and others. Intensive studies of residential structural damage in connection with measured displacement and velocity was made by the U.S. Bureau of Mines, Siskind (30). As the results, a set of criteria was developed for the freguency range of l -100 Hz, involving both displacement and velocity, Figure 1. The peak particle velocity is the parameter most commonly used to evaluate the effect of construction vibrations on structure. However, other vibration parameters should be used in assessment of vibration effects as well. So Figure 1 shows the importance of displacement limits to evaluate structural damage. Displacement of 0.1 mm, and acceleration of 2.5 m/s2, not velocity, are vibration limits for computing systems, Boyle (3). There are simple mathematical relationships between peaks of displacement, velocity and acceleration. Displacement calculations from velocity records are correct, but analogous acceleration calculations do not always yield proper results because velocity measurement cannot detect high freguency components of ground vibrations. Accelerometers and geophones have the opposite principles for vibration measurements. If acceleration limits are available for sensitive devices or foundation settlements, acceleration must be measured in parallel to velocity measurements. For example, Clough and Chameau (4) made acceleration and velocity measurements at the same time. One more important point is to use devices with proper calibration curves. Otherwise it is possible to receive misleading results. M t W' - 1 9 . Q7J NI1S� �+ Oft tl ys d OA30w __r_•_RtP_!'»�' Ono rReMIEW.T.

(30) SURVEY OF CASE STUDIES There are numerous publications regarding vibration effects from construction operations. Several references are presented in the introduction section of this paper. In this section, an attempt was made to analyze obtained results and assess contribution of different factors on construction vibrations. Source Effect on Ground Vibrations Pile Tvpe. In general, piles being driven as displacement piles generate the greatest ground vibrations, e.g. Woods (44), Svinkin et al. (38) and others. However, there effects are varied and depend on pile cross-section shape and soil conditions. The more pronounced effects of displacement piles on ground vibrations occurs predominantly at distances less than 10 m from pile driving, A pile shape may affect ground vibrations around the driven pile. Martin (20) found that driving of sheet piles do not generate large horizontal vibrations in perpendicular direction to the line of the sheet piles. http://www.vulcanhammer.net/svinkin/vibration.php 11/6/2014 I Vibration Environmental Effect of Construction Operations Page 5 of 13 Pile impedance is a significant factor in the transfer of dynamic longitudinal force into the pile and from the pile into the surrounding soil. The greater the pile impedance, the greater the pile capacity and the greater the dynamic force that can be transferred to the around. However, pile impedance affects the intensity of ground vibrations in two opposite ways at the same time. On the one hand, increasing;_ pile impedance increases the force transmitted to the pile and surrounding ground, but on the other hand, increasing_ pile impedance decreases the peak particle velocity of pile and ground vibrations. An increase of hammer energy magnifies ground vibrations until the pile impedance allows to increase the force transmitted to the pile and the surrounding soil. The impedance affects in opposite ways the force and the velocity transmitted to the ground and therefore the pile impedance effect on the intensity of ground vibrations is not obvious. Pile impedance cannot be always used as a predictor of intensity of ground vibrations, Svinkin et al. 38 . Soil Resistance and Pile Length. During driving, the various soil resistances to pile penetration are developing as the pile penetration depth is increasing. Pile -soil load transfer is realized by means of both concentrated loads from the pile toe and distributed loads generated along the pile shaft. Generally speaking, dynamic loads transferred from the pile to the ground should be increasing with augmentation of a pile penetration depth. However, this does not always occur. Accumulated experience in pile driving shows that the intensity of ground vibrations is mostly independent of the pile penetration depth and depends on soil properties, for example, Clough and Chamean (4), Holloway et al. (15), Svinkin et al. (38) and others. In soils with a low penetration resistance such as loose fill, peat or silt, a large portion of the hammer energy is used in overcoming soil friction and thereby moving piles down. Therefore less energy is transmitted for generating ground vibrations in comparison with pile driving in soil with a high penetration resistance. The high blow count resulted in increased ground vibrations at the pile penetration depth approximately between 4-8 m below therg ound surface but did not effect ground vibrations at the greater depth. These results were obtained from driving of concrete, steel shell and H piles and also of sheet piles. Dynamic Compaction. For dynamic compaction of loose sands and granular fills, large and heavy steel or concrete blocks weighing typically 49.1-137.3 kN are usually dropped from heightsp to 30 m, Hayward Baker (12). The size of weights could be larger at some construction sites. The maximum falling weight found in publications was 397.3 M Gambin (9). The wide range of impact loads on the ground determines a wide range of ground vibrations. Vibration levels increase as the treated field becomes densified. A maximum level of particle velocity might be achieved after one or two passes of heavy tamping. It is necessary to point out that localized liquefaction may occur around the contact area of impact, Mayne (22). Dynamic loads on the ground induce elastic waves in the soil medium and these waves are transmitted through the soil in all directions. The spectra of soil vibrations excited by impacts show a few maximums with the dominant frequency of the surface wave. Actually, these frequencies are the natural frequencies of the soil lavers and the values obtained do not practically depend on conditions at the contact area where impacts are made directly on the soil. In general, soil profiles are nonlinear systems and the dominant frequency of soil profiles depends on the applied impact. Nevertheless, over a certain range, the system behavior may be linear and if the system is restricted to this range it is possible to safely use the linear approach. However if sizes of falling weights are considerably different, such impacts on the same contact area might generate surface waves with different dominant frequencies, Svinkin (33,34). Blasting. Blasting energies are much larger than energies of other sources of construction vibrations. Blast design depends on the large number of factors and is aimed to enhance blasting productivity and diminish generated ground vibrations without increasing the cost. The following describes effects of different factors on ground vibrations, Nicholls et al. (25), Dowding (8) and OZA Inspections (27). Explosive type and weight, delay -timing variations, size and number of holes, distance between holes and rows, method and direction of blast initiation, geology and overburden are the most important causes which effect ground vibrations. The explosive types affect ground motion through detonation velocities of explosives and a square root of the charge weight. Microsecond -delayed blasts are used for reduction of APV of ground vibrations which are connected with the maximum charge weight detonated per delay. A choice of the proper delay is not a simple http://www.vulcanhammer.net/svinkin/vibration.php 11/6/2014 Vibration Environmental Effect of Construction Operations Page 6 of 13 problem. Wave propagation might differ with direction if there is geologic complexity. The effect of overburden manifests itself in attenuation of high -frequency comgonents of ground motion. Energy of Dynamic Sources. The energy of construction sources is important source property which effects intensity of surface waves, e..e. Attewell and Farmer (1), Mayne (23), Wiss (42), Woods (44)*and others. In general, ground vibration level increases if the source energy increase. However the energy of source is not always the dominant factor in determination of the intensity of ground vibrations. The following case studies shows that influence of other factors should be considered. The effect of energy level of dynamic compaction on PPV of ground vibrations at different distances from the source was studied by Mayne (23). It was reveal(A that the exponent term for energy of the source, W, decreases with distance away from the point of impact. At distances of 6.1, 15.25, and 30.5 m, the observed effect of energy level was (W)0.6, (W)o.s, and (W)0.4, respectively, as determined from linear regression analysis of obtained data. Martin (20) reported similarity of PPV of vertical ground vibrations observed for displacement piling on peat and corresponding PPV observed for sheet piling on silt and clay. Although the impact energy of the hammer used for driving of close -ended steel pipes was in ten times the energy of the hammer used for sheet piling, the intensit roof vertical ground vibrations was similar at the compared construction sites. The minor reason of these results was explained by differences in theeg ometry of the piles. The displacement pile had a circular section and the energy transmitted from this pile to the ground was shared between vertical and two horizontal components of ground vibrations. The sheet pile had a'U' shaped section and driving of this pile produced predominantly vertical ground vibrations. The major reason for the comparatively low level of vertical vibrations from displacement piling operation was the low penetration resistance of the peat. A large portion of the energy transferred to the pile was absorbed in moving the pile throughpeat. Dowding (8) made comparison of ground vibrations induced by pile driving with a diesel hammer and by Franki pile driving and revealed that the latter developed two times more energy but induced smaller ground vibrations at the same distances from the sources. Perhaps the cause of this phenomenon was a higher attenuation of surface waves in the loose soil deposits where Franki piles were driven. This observation underlines the significance of soil contribution to the formation of ground vibrations. Soil Effect on Vibrations Propagation Distance from Sources. Waves travel in all directions from the source of vibrations forming a series of fairly harmonic waves with the dominant frequency equal or close to the frequency of the source. Higher frequencies being attenuated faster than lower frequencies with distance from the source. However, the soil medium does not consistently plM the role of a low-pass filter and ground vibrations with higherquencies and amplitudes maw after certain vibration attenuation. The inherent spacial variations of soil properties are not always readily identifiable by routine boring sampling testing. For instance, Hammond (11) reported a case history of the influence of heterogeneity in soil strata on soil and building vibrations at the site where a foundation was installed for a forge hammer with a falling weight of 75.8 kN. The dominant frequency of propagated waves was 22.0 Hz to the west of the hammer foundation, while, at the same time, in opposite direction to the east of the source, the dominant frequency was 10.0 Hz. In another interesting case, Svinkin (34), forge hammer foundation vibrations with a frequency of 14.0 Hz excited soil vibrations with a similar dominant frequency except at one location where the dominant frequency was 25.0 Hz with enhanced amplitudes. Soft and SO Soils. Attenuation of surface waves with distance from the source is important for reduction of ground vibrations. Clough and Chameau (4), Wiss (42) and Wood and Theissen (43) made intensive measurements of ground vibrations from construction sources and revealed that values of geometric and material damping are higher in soft soils than those in denser, firmer soils. Moreover, PPVs of ground vibrations tend to increase as soil materials become more dense with the number of blows, Mayne (22). Nevertheless, there is an opposite point of view. Taniguchi and Okada (38) described a case where soft ground was improved to depth of 12 m by means of the lime pile method. As a result, the acceleration at the ground surface decreased to 10-60 % in the frequency range less than 10 Hz. Indeed, various soil conditions require different solutions to diminish ground vibrations. http://www.vulcanhammer.net/svinkin/vibration.php 11/6/2014 Vibration Environmental Effect of Construction Operations Page 7 of 13 Martin (20) reported results of measured ground vibrations which had been induced by Love waves. A closed -ended pipe pile was being driven by a drop hammer into the soft clay to the depth of about 8 m and then into the gravel laver. When the pile reached the gravel level, PPV of transverse ground vibrations increased two times but PPV of vertical and radial motion were almost the same. The large transverse vibrations were a Love surface wave. Similar large transverse ground motion was recorded by Clough and Chameau (4) during drivingsheet heet piles through the rubble laver by an ICE Model vibratory hammer at an operated fixed frequency of 1,100 rpm. CONSEOUENCES OF CONSTRUCTION VIBRATIONS Vibrations transmitted through the ground during construction operations may annoy people and detrimentally effect structures and sensitive devices. Construction vibrations effect structures in two major ways. Those vibrations may produce direct damage to structures and make damage due to vibration -induced settlement. Structure Vibrations. Structure vibrations depend on soil -structure interaction which determines a structure response to the ground excitations. Structure vibrations measured from construction operations vary in a wide range of frequency content and intensity. Case studies made by Wood and Theissen (43) included ten projects with vibration levels measured in buried structures and buildings supported on piles at soft soil sites and on spread footings at firm soil sites. It was concluded that vibratory hammers of about 23 kg -m eccentric moment or impact hammers of about 94 kJ rated energy with a weight of striking parts of 43.3 kN operating immediately adjacent to unreinforced brick or reinforced concrete structures in poor conditions may be in some degree dangerous for building. Similar construction sources operating immediately adiacent to reinforced concrete structures in good conditions will probably do not produce dangerous structure stresses. Results obtained by Mallard and Bastow (19) and Martin (20) showed that vibrations of light floors are larger and concrete floors are smaller than ground vibrations. The proximity of the freguency of soil vibrations to one of the structures natural frequencies maygenerate the condition of resonance in the building. Continuous forced vibrations produced by vibratory hammers have potential to set up resonant vibrations in certain building structures. Moreover transient vibrations might trigger resonant vibrations as well. Levin (17) found that 3-4 cycles of ground vibrations could generate the condition of resonance in the building. Rausch (28) described a case history where intolerable vibrations occurred in an administrative building located 200 m from the foundation of a forge hammer with a falling weight of 14.7 W. This weight was considerably less than that in the described above case, Wood and Theissen (43), but obviously the condition of resonance played the major role. The damage criteria in Figure I are used as a threshold level, but it does not mean that exceeding this level immediately entail some structural damage. For example, ground vibrations measured nearby the school building located at distance of 24.4 m from a construction blast are shown in Figure 2, OZA Inspections (27). It can be seen that PPV of vertical, radial and transverse ground vibrations were higher of the threshold levels for the wide frequency range. Such vibrations did not result damage of one story brick school building supported on concrete foundations. http://www.vulcanhammer.net/svinkin/vibration.php 11/6/2014 Vibration Environmental Effect of Construction Operations Law�il,ii`wsl ir.ws„rry Vnl2H� is IN F.egmg .9,i is lei Page 8 of 13 fi.7o.o�y �rs�,ra�ey Figure 2 Velocity spectra of ground vibrations measured nearby the school buildini located at distance of 24.4m from a construction blast, after OZA Inspections (27) One more important comment. The damage criteria displayed in Figure 1 do not make distinction of type, age and conditions of structures and foundations. Probably more objective and informative damage criteria are a subiect for future research. Crockett (6) and Dowding(ggested to take into account the accumulated effect of repeated dynamic loads, for example from production pile driving This approach is especially important for historical and old buildings. On the basis of probabilistic analvsis of a numerous published data, Siskind et al. (30) made a damage description for Uniform Classification. The three damage categories included the following. Threshold: loosening of paint, small plaster cracks at Joints between construction elements. Minor: lengthening of old cracks, loosening and falling of plaster, cracks in masonry around openin sg near partitions, hairline to 3 mm cracks, fall of loose mortal. Maior: cracks of several millimeters in walls, rupture of opening vaults, structural weakening, fall of masonry, load support ability affected. This classification can be useful in assessment of structural damage from construction vibrations. Settlements Induced by Vibrations. Vibrations may change properties of loose sands saturated with water. This physical phenomenon produces settlement of the ground around the pile and building foundations. Lacy and Gould (16) collected 19 reported cases with different settlements of sands caused by pile driving, described a few approaches to calculate around settlement. and underlined problems in calculation of settlement of loose sand during pile driving. It is not clear what vibration parameter and its value should be considered as a trigger of a liquefaction phenomenon of sand. Lacy and Gould (16) consider PPV of ground vibrations of 2.5 mm/sec as a threshold of possible significant settlements at vulnerable sites. Clough and Chameau (4) and Lukas and Gill (18) used an acceleration for assessment of ground and foundation settlement. Barkan (2) reported an important role of the static pressure on the soil for dvnamic settlement of a foundation. Therefore different criteria should be taken into consideration in assessment of otential liquefaction problem. Human Responses. Human perception of vibrations is subjective and human response to arisen vibrations may have false reasoning. Therefore contractor have to provide proper public relations to inform residents regarding possible negative effects of construction vibrations. MITIGATION OF VIBRATION PROBLEMS A ore -construction survev is the first sten in the control of construction vibrations to ensure safetv and serviceabilit of adjacent structures and/or distant structures with sensitive equipment like hospital facilities and offices with precision instruments. Accordingpile driving practice, construction vibrations may cause direct damage to structures at a distance about of one pile length from the driven pile. However, there is no single opinion regarding the maximum radius of a preconstruction survey area with buildings surrounding a construction site. Dowding (8) suggested a radius of 120 m of a construction activities, or out to a distance at which vibrations of 2 mm/s occur. http://www.vulcanhammer.net/svinkin/vibration.php 11/6/2014 Vibration Environmental Effect of Construction Operations Page 9 of 13 Woods (44) considered distances of as much as 400 m to be surveyed to identify settlement damage hazards. Obviously, a radius of the area of preconstruction survey is various and depends on building condition and utilization. The preconstruction survey includes a few steps of site investigations. • Inspect present conditions of surrounding buildings. • Perform damage susceptibili , study to establish vibration control limits. • Measure vibration background at the area under investigation. • Assess problems such as cracking of building or foundation failure. First of all a preliminary desk study of a layout of the area for a preconstruction inspection and a site walk -over observation should be made. Existing cracks found in buildings have to be marked. It is necessary to distinguish cosmetic and structural cracks. Most attention should be paid to cracks in the structures themselves. The width of cracks should be measured with a proper ruler. Determining the cause of crackingis s important to predict lengthening and dilatation of old cracks under the vibration effect of pile driving_ For assessment of the dynamic effect on surrounding structures it is necessary to take into account the thresholds of damage, cracking and perception. Buildings inspected under the contract requirements are commonly classified depending on structure susceptibility to cracking and proximity of structures to pile driving operations. Structure susceptibility is usually related to the threshold of cosmetic cracking, Dowding (7), and depends on a degree of degradation of the building structural and nonstructural systems. Apparently this terminology should be used in the broad sense as susceptibility of the building -soil system depending on degradation of building systems, utilization of buildings and soil conditions. It is important for certain cases. For example, a building, located in the proximity of the driven piles, identified as having low susceptibility and built on liquefiable soils might have substantially lgger deformations than a building identified as having high susceptibility but erected on non - liquefiable soils at long distance from the driven piles. Certainly, for some sites only the threshold of cosmetic cracking could be sufficient. Measurement of a vibration background at soil and buildings with sensitive equipment and/or computerized technology should be a part of the preconstruction survey. The vibration measurement might reveal microvibrations and vibrations induced by industrial machinery located nearby. A waveform recorder has to be used for these measurements. Assessment of the dynamic effect of construction operations on surrounding structures can be made on the basis of prediction, monitoring and control of soil and structures vibrations from pile driving. CONCLUSIONS • Construction operations involve various sources of vibrations such as pile driving, dynamic compaction, blasting and operating heavy equipment. Construction work often creates problems of disruption of some businesses, annoying, people and possible structural damage. • Dynamic loads transmitted to the ground change in a wide range of frequency content and intensity and generate elastic waves in soil medium. • Empirical equations provide only calculation of a vertical amplitude of ground vibrations and not always with sufficient accuracy. • The impulse response function prediction method (IRFP) has obvious advantages in predicting time domain ground and structure vibrations prior to the beginning of construction activities. • Parameters of dynamic sources and soil conditions effect soil and structure vibrations. Various factors such as pile type and length, soil resistance, specific peculiarities of dynamic compaction and blasting should be considered in analysis of vibration effects. • The preconstruction survey should be made to ensure safety and serviceability of adjacent structures and/or remote structures with sensitive equipment like hospital facilities and offices with precision instruments. • It is important to assess the dynamic effect before the beginning of construction activities and at the time of construction. Therefore monitoring construction vibrations have to be started prior to the beginning of http://www.vulcanhammer.net/svinkin/vibration.php 11/6/2014 Vibration Environmental Effect of Construction Operations Page 10 of 13 construction work at a site and be continued during construction to provide the safety and serviceability of sound and vulnerable structures.

I Search _. rihilnes 0" News Cusmri Vibrations Can Cause Structural Damage On the Scene E -Newsletter, Edition 139, June 8, 2011 Most people are familiar with natural causes attributed t0 foundation cracking such as earthquakes, wind, poor soil conditions, freezing and thawing cycles, tree roots, and moisture in the soil. Although vibrations caused by natural causes endanger structures, vibrations caused by man- made efforts may be troublesome as well. Common construction activities such as large equipment traffic, drilling, blasting and soil compaction produce ground vibrations which conceivably damage nearby buildings or homes. Demolition and new foundation work are common sources of vibrations that can cause an area effect. The tools and methods used in demolition and construction, such as pile drivers, jack hammers, wrecking balls, pavement breakers and rock blasting produce vibrations that may be transmitted to and can result In claims involving: • exterior cracking of fagades • Interior cracking of walls • roof collapse / structural failure • pavement It foundation cracking The underlying issues are often: • differences In materials where they join • insufficient or defective materials • inadequate water management techniques used for drainage or rainwater • settling of soil • voids existing within grading of soil • fasteners may become loose with excessive vibration • Inadequate maintenance • insect invasion What can be done to verify how the damage occurred? First, an engineer will examine and evaluate damages to the structure and second, they will evaluate the construction activities. This Is accomplished by determining the following: • if any vibration imparted to the soils, violate the "Peak Particle Velocity" guidelines • seismograph readings (often taken during time of work/construction) . whether adjoining structures were evaluated or photographed to measure potential shifts, cracks, settling or uplifting to them • was the water table evaluated in cases where dewatering would be a necessary construction technique • evaluate and/or analyze the following: • type of construction or equipment being utilized • proximity of damage to location of work being completed • was blasting close and how large were the explosives • see/ask if items fell off shelves • documentation provided by those undertaking the construction • what are weights of the machinery and vehicles traversing the site • age of the cracks • sharpness of the crack edges • growth of the cracks • older paint present • other witness marks • look for other potential causes of the cracking such as a water leak, blunt force, etc. As you can see by the above list, evaluating structural damage is not a simple process. CED engineers' training and experience allows them to uncover the extent and cause of structural damages whether the cause turns out to be nearby construction, storms, or defective materials or techniques.

The problem becomes more serious in places, where the propagation speed of Rayleigh surface waves is low due to the low elasticity of the soil. To overcome the problem it has been proposed different vibration isolation barrier constructions, which may be composed of sheet piles, artificial gravel layers and air cushion walls to modify the waves traveling along the ground. Because the barrier lines may be relatively long it has been developed an automatic sheet piling system to make the installation fast and economical. Keywords: railway foundations, wave barrier, ground vibrations, sheet piling 1. INTRODUCTION Ground vibrations excited by moving vehicles like cars and trains are disturbances, which reduce the quality of life and working conditions in buildings close to heavily loaded roads and tracks [4]. Architectural damages are also long term consequences of vibrations especially in case of historically valuable buildings. In order to avoid extreme vibration levels, sometimes the maximum train speeds must be limited dramatically in such areas. The problem has been understood to be so serious that new international standards are under preparation work in European Communities for stating limits to acceptable vibration levels. This is an important element leading towards environmentally friendly surface traffic especially in the neighborhood of highly populated urban towns. On the other hand, demands to increase the performance of ground transportation are forcing the expedition and railway companies to use heavy wagons with increasing speeds. It has been observed that higher speeds lead to higher structural and ground responses especially in case of soft soil [3]. Because this development is in conflict with both building protection and environmental requirements it has been initialized research work to find out technical ways to reduce ground vibrations close to railroads. There are two leading strategies in vibration reduction: a) to modify the vibration excitation mechanism b) to modify the vibration response before the waves reach the object to be protected. The design problem is also different when 1) building a completely new railroad or 2) when upgrading an existing one to higher speed class. Because the combinations al and a2 are related to the railway foundation design this paper is concentrated to combinations b 1 and b2 e.g. to the question of how to damp the wave motion before the object building in case of new or existing railroad. The main elements of this vibratory system are shown in the topology drawing in figure 1. Figure 1. Main elements in train -induced structural vibration problem. It has been introduced and used both stiff (concrete [I], [21 ) and soft (air cushion [7]) ground vibration isolator barriers as well as medium -hard (barrier walls [3]) between the vibration source and object According to the field tests the methods mentioned have been shown to be relatively effective in their primary function and, therefore, it has opened the discussion on how these structural elements could be installed also in a cost-effective way. Costs include in this case all costs related to materials, machinery, brakes in traffic flow, energy consumption and recycling. Because the complete track line length to be isolated may be several kilometers the most economical solution is worth of deep investigation. During this work it has been found a very promising work method, namely excavator -based sheet piling (figure 2, [5]). This method utilizes automatic control to repeat the correct drive line when constructing complete sheet pile walls (figure 3, [6]). Excavator boom \ Vibnt unit Sheet pile Doable gripper sheet Pile Figure 2. Excavator -mountable sheet-piler with side - gripper [5]. Figure 3. Excavator -based sheet-piler with automatic drive line steering system [6]. In this particular application the potential to use automatic sheet -piling method is exceptionally good for the following reasons: 1. Vibratory sheet piling can be used in soft clay soils only, in which the problem of high wave response also exists. 2. The rail track can be used as a mechanical guiding element to keep the wall -track distance constant. 3. The walls can be temporary or permanent and may be combined flexibly with other foundation materials or elements. 4. The installation method must be fast to minimize the disturbances of traffic flow. The purpose of this paper is to develop an intelligent work method based on automatic sheet piling to produce different barrier constructions for damping the train -induced waves. The complete work may be divided in to three different subtasks: 1. The development of the barrier construction. 2. The development of the automatic work process. 3. The development of the machine system. 2. BARRIER DEVELOPMENT Barrier construction may be developed under the condition that the whole work cycle should be carried out with excavator and sheet piler only. This is a limitation in the development but, on the other hand, a good starting point, because similar process has already shown its feasibility in foundation works of buildings [5]. Possible combinations, where sheet pile walls and air cushion layers work together, are shown in figure 4. /�i• •.e. i• • '� 44 , y ; • 4t si.. .ice � _s. : • . The sheet pile wall is hit in to the soil at a desired angle a (see figure 5) defining the unit vectors for normal n and tangential t directions of the interface. ❑ D Similarly, the motion components u and v of sheet pile wall in axial and bending directions are governed by wide beam differential equations Figure 4. Barrier walls based on different combinations of sheet pile walls and air cushions. The effectiveness of the barrier may be measured in its ability to modify or damp the surface waves induced by the train motion. In Rayleigh surface waves the particle motion has both horizontal and vertical components [1],[2]. Because the sheet pile wall as a metallic object is very stiff axially, but not in the bending direction, it may cause the following boundary conditions at soil -pile interfaces: Sliding condition in tangential direction and locking condition in normal direction. Let us consider, for simplicity, the situation as a plane problem of elastic half space of soil material. The field equation may be written with respect to soil displacement vector s p9 = L(s) (1) where L is the differential operator of elastic forces in soil continuum. Figure 5. Elements in the dynamic interaction problem between soil, sheet pile wall and isolation layer. pAu = Ll(u) (2) pAv = L20) (3) The sliding boundary condition is frictional so that shear stresses winning the adhesion or friction capacity cQ of the interface may lead to sliding condition instead of sticking. If we use notation crfor the stress tensor, this may be written in form n & = sgn(tT s — tt)ca (4) for sliding but for sticking condition t s = u (5) The locking boundary condition connects the motion of soil particles to the motion of the sheet pile in normal direction n s = v (6) If an air cushion bed will be used, it should be installed against the sheet pile wall at the building side, because installing to track side may possibly lead to track settlements later. Boundary condition between the sheet piles and back side soil field is in this case simply an elastic layer condition in momentum form n an = k„ (nTs — v) (7) t Qn = k' (t7 -s — u) (8) Under these conditions the angular orientation of the sheet pile wall is a very interesting parameter, because the wave profile will be modified significantly. Analysis of the barrier performance may be carried out using finite elements [3]. In FE computations it is possible to model the whole topology and dynamic loads including the track excitation, slopes, barriers, building and the soil field for analyzing how the wave will travel from the source to the foundation of the building. 3. WORK PROCESS DEVELOPMENT Sheet piling by side -grip is a work process, in which the working cycle typically consists of phases (see figure 6): 1. Off-loading the piles from the lorry. 2. Lifting and transporting the piles to the driving place. 3. Giving to the piles a desired orientation. 4. Hitting the piles in to the ground. position and 7. Using the automatic slope digging mode remove the soil material away to make a space for the air cushion element. Use the excavated soil to fill the previous dig place. 8. Using the bucket lift and install the air cushion element in parallel contact with the sheet pile wall. 9. Replace the bucket by the sheet-piler. 10. If using temporary sheet pile walls drive the pile out from the ground and continue from step 2. 11. If using permanent sheet pile walls start from step 1. Figure 6. Work phases in side -grip piling method. Conventionally there has been a need of an excavator, a crane and a piler and a number of 3...4 workers to do the job. In contrast to that in Movax side -grip piling method only one operator and one excavator -mounted piler can do the whole work process. This advantage is based on the integration of vibratory and gripper units in one compact device, which can do flexibly all the materials handling, manipulation, positioning, automatic steering and driving tasks required. Adaptation of side -grip piling method to railway construction applications is relatively straightforward. The work process could include phases: 1. Using the gripper take the pile from the wagon. 2. Using the positioning system move the pile in desired position and orientation. 3. Using the steering system drive the pile in to the ground 4. Drive the wagon (or excavator) along the track a distance corresponding to the pile width. 5. Repeat phases I ...4 to reach total distance of one air cushion element. 6. Using the quick hitch adapter system replace the piler by the bucket. Figure 7. Barrier installation by automatic sheet - piling system. This kind of work process can be understood as a window traveling slowly along the track. The steps are illustrated as side views in figures 7 and 8.. The process can be continued flexibly so far as the terrain and soil material are suitable for sheet piling. Figure 8. Finishing works in barrier installation. Work costs in this method are proportional to the earth volumes excavated. This volume may be computed approximately by formula V='haLb1 (9) 6 Figure 9. Volume of excavated soil. As the barrier performance in damping the wave motion is depending on the vertical depth d=bsina (10) one has to compromise between the work costs and barrier effectiveness. 4. SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT Movax piler has been originally developed for an optionally accessory to an hydraulic excavator. The device can be mounted also to other booms, which have the standard bucket interface. On the other hand, there is available track wheels for excavators also so that the along track mobility of the boom can be solved easily (see figure I Oa). Main advantages of the use of excavator are of course the best suitability for digging and piling works but a wagon is still needed for transporting the piles to the place where the current working window is. Another problem is to find a platform, where to keep the bucket or piler when the other tool is in usage and the other one has to be temporarily stored to wait for the next working step. Railway companies have also mobile maintenance wagons with their own power source for driving purposes. Another Diesel driven hydraulic power unit could be added to the wagon and its power supply could be used for the boom and pile driving. This machine lay -out is drawn in figure 10b. a) where L is the total wall length and b is the depth Figure 10. a) An excavator moving on railway track dimension of the isolation layer in pile direction (see figure 9). and b) wagon -based digging and sheet piling system. The main elements in the automation system are the upper level supervising system, the boom steering system, pile driving system and the vehicle driving system. The upper level supervising system communicates with the human operator for reporting the system state and asking permissions to continue with the next phase. One important element in this task is a monitoring system that makes diagnosis of disturbances observed in individual work phases in the complete work cycle. The boom -controlling system fully utilizes the earlier development work, in which the bucket pin of the boom tracks a desired trajectory in a desired inclination angle. In this particular case the system has to steer the pile to follow straight line in a given orientation angle. Boom motion is controlled by means of inverse kinematic algorithm based on boom position measuring by gravitational angular sensors. Initial positioning can be done semi -automatically so that the drive line and piler orientation will be found automatically but the axial positioning will be done manually. To guarantee that the relative position of the gripper and the pile will remain constant pile after pile the grip has to be taken from a known reference place before the steering. After each pile the excavator or the wagon has to be moved along the track a displacement same as the pile width. Boom controller can be used also in the digging work so that the bucket motion follows the surface of the building side of the sheet pile wall. This makes a significant time saving in digging. During the pile driving the upper level controller unit has to monitor the penetration speed giving also a diagnosis of possibly found hard obstacles that prevent the pile to penetrate. Existence of large stones is of course a weakness in the whole method. Based on earlier experiences of the piler steering in foundation works, the possibilities to fully robotize the complete work process are relatively poor, because the work object and the work space are not so precisely known as in industrial applications. So, a realistic step of the development of this barrier wall installation system could be a human -assisted system that better fits to this partly unstructured work environment. Human operator could control the changes between the work phases and also fine adjust the local positioning tasks while within each task the lower level controller could work automatically. 5. CONCLUSIONS The problem to find out a low-cost method to install barrier walls against train -induced ground vibrations has been under investigation. The purpose is to isolate buildings from the traveling Rayleigh surface waves. This usually happens when the soil consists of soft layers of clay. Such places are locating very often in coastal places, where the soil originates from the sea bottom sediments or erosion sludge conveyed by rivers. One promising work method is sheet -piling, in which case the barrier has to be composed of sheet -pile wall with soft isolation layer at its building side. The purpose of the wall is to reduce the amount of soil masses to be removed and also to support the isolation layer. Isolation material could be air cushion or granular material like artificial gravel. The installation work can be carried out by computer controlled boom system, which allows drive the pile wall in prescribed inclination angle. The boom is equipped with an integrated gripper -driver unit and may belong to an excavator with track wheels or it may be mounted on a customized wagon. By changing cyclically the bucket and sheet piler, the work process can run in piling -digging -layering -filling phases semi- automatically, where the operator assists changes from one internally automatic task to a next one.

As seniors many of us have health issues that often require emergency visits to the hospital. In many cases, time is of the essence when a 911 call is placed. Since our hospital and, often, the emergency vehicles, are on the East side of the tracks, the residents of our beautiful city will have their lives put in danger if an ambulance is stopped by a train. With 31 trains passing through our city cvcr yday, the ccrgcncy vchicic could be hcld up in both dircctions. That could be catastrophic for anyone of us. Yes, we have freight trains going through our city now but the frequency is far less than 31 times a day. The railroad company who is pushing All Aboard Florida is thinking only of their financial gain and has no regard for the safety of the residents of this area. As a case in point, I am widowed, live alone west of the RR tracks and have afib. Without going into great detail, in April I got pretty sick and was having difficulty breathing so 911 was called. The response time was very quick; the paramedics put me in the ambulance and started an IV then transported me to the hospital. While I was in the ambulance on the way to the hospital I stopped breathing. I was told the siren was turned on and the ambulance sped to the hospital with the paramedic giving me CPR. If that ambulance had been stopped by a train either responding or transporting, I might not be standing before you today. I am only one example of the many seniors in our area whose life stands in the balance if 31 additional trains are allowed to pass through our city holding up traffic each and everyday. Please tell me what benefits there could possibly be to Indian River County to have high speed trains racing through our city causing disruption to our way of life but more importantly our safety. ana SIEBAST" CITY OF SEBASTIAN AAF SURVEY — response to DEIS �` HOME OF PEUCAN iSMD Name: / fes' i�`� Date: < < 15--�-11(4 Address DIP. a L -s 1eNJ 1.

I p fnn run 4lr-rn AAF has stated it plans to run freight trains on the tracks they are building for the lighter shorter passenger cars. This practice has caused widespread devastation in other parts of the country. One example, in Maryland, a machine shop successfully operating near the freight trains tracks had to close down when the freight train started to run on the new for "passenger use only" tracks. The vibrations were sufficiently greater and the shop could no longer keep its machines properly lined up. The building and the surrounding area is now deserted. Since All Aboard Florida has said it plans to use these tracks for freight trains, is it going to upgrade the railroad beds to current industry standards for vibration absorption for freight trains before it lays down the new tracks? ave, 46, aiyOF SEBAS�TLA�N CITY OF SEBASTIAN AAF SURVEY — response to DEIS Name: Date: HOME OF PELICAN ISLAND � � � �� '^ � Address &Z2 Fee ,S �G 1.

Positively Negatively No or minimal impact Open Comment: Bite The Bullet Train 1.6 Billion Fed. Loan, Monitoring by Whom? Interest Rate? Payback time? Collateral? Lining Whose pockets? Crossing upgrades, %2 Million each, not included in this cost, Why not? Who actually will own this? Is there any stock available? How many Commuters are there to support 32 trains? Vacationers to Disney with children don't go to Miami night spots and vise versa? Don"t know schedule. Will it even run at night? How much for tickets? Profit margin for 3 year pay back of 1.6 Billion? If there was a $25 profit per rider it would take 64 million Passengers. 80 per car, 5 cars, 400 per train X 32 = 12800 per day into 64 million = 5000 days or 13.6 years. Without interest! Where is parking located at each end? How much ( 3000 To 6000 cars)? Alternate transportation accessability for 400 people every 20 minutes? Traffic jams near terminals! Are there hidden property purchases involved? Who presently owns? Top Speed is suggested at 130 MPH What is actual average speed due to bridges, Turns side tracks, etc.? What actual speed are they going to guarantee? What is total time from entry of station to exit at other station? Any time savings from existing bus running at 70 MPH on 95? Any cost saving LOL What is total Cost including parking or secondary transportation? Has anybody tried to do 130 MPH on this run? Does anybody want to? People get killed at 70 what happens when you almost double it? Second track impact on existing businesses. Freight traffic will probably double at night. Get used to gate closings every 20 minutes. We all live on the wrong side of the tracks. AND don't forget Noise. Energy pollution? Don't even suggest local jobs. ana CITY OF SE¢ASTIAN AAF SURVEY - response to DEIS ,� o a n IV, H g W w E'...-.

A representative of AAF told the St. Lucie County Commission that two more train tracks ( not one) are planned to run through our towns. So we can multiply the number of track closings that will cut off our people from their emergency room and doctors. Just as upsetting is the fact that more freight trains will be running through our towns. A few nights ago a late night show cited the number of train wrecks throughout the US and Canada. These wrecks not only blocked rail crossings for hours, but killed town residents when freight trains carrying oil, gas and other dangerous cargo exploded sending walls of fire blocks wide. Also cited was the fact that freight trains are pulling 100 cars at a time. AAF has misrepresented their financial plans to the public. A now proven fact. So what about their stated plan to run high-speed passenger trains? Passenger trains are unprofitable. This explains no passenger train stops. But freight trains make money. The expanded Miami Port is bringing in more large cargo ships that need transport of their cargo Put these facts together and AAF plans are clear. They plan freight trains picking up ship cargo in Miami to move it north. Very bad news for all Treasure Coast towns where train tracks run right through high population neighborhoods. I hope our city council will take a firm stand, on the record, against AAF. Tell them to go to ----- I95. Ruth Sullivan, Sebastian business and home owner z Bite The Bullet Train 1.6 Billion Fed. Loan, Monitoring by Whom? Interest Rate? Payback time? Collateral? Lining Whose pockets? Crossing upgrades, Y2 Million each, not included in this cost, Why not? Who actually will own this? Is there any stock available? How many Commuters are there to support 32 trains? Vacationers to Disney with children don't go to Miami night spots and vise versa? Don"t know schedule. Will it even run at night? How much for tickets? Profit margin for 3 year pay back of 1.6 Billion? If there was a $25 profit per rider it would take 64 million Passengers. 80 per car, 5 cars, 400 per train X 32 = 12800 per day into 64 million = 5000 days or 13.6 years. Without interest! Where is parking located at each end? How much ( 3000 To 6000 cars)? Alternate transportation accessability for 400 people every 20 minutes? Traffic jams near terminals! Are there hidden property purchases involved? Who presently owns? Top Speed is suggested at 130 MPH What is actual average speed due to bridges, Turns side tracks, etc.? What actual speed are they going to guarantee? What is total time from entry of station to exit at other station? Any time savings from existing bus running at 70 MPH on 95? Any cost saving LOL What is total Cost including parking or secondary transportation? Has anybody tried to do 130 MPH on this run? Does anybody want to? People get killed at 70 what happens when you almost double it? Second track impact on existing businesses. Freight traffic will probably double at night. Get used to gate closings every 20 minutes. We all live on the wrong side of the tracks. AND don't forget Noise. Energy pollution? Don't even suggest local jobs. A "k, NEILL, GRIFFIN, TIERNEY, NEILL & MARQUIS RICHARD V. NEILL° J.

CSX presently furnishes passenger rail service between Miami and Orlando via Amtrak. If high-speed rail is such a great opportunity, I wonder why CSX has not jumped at the chance to provide that service. In fact, no railroad company is planning to provide the high- speed rail service. The current proposal is by a Mall Street hedge fund, Fortress Investment Group (FIG). Fortress bought the FEC in 2007 and has set up All Aboard Florida as a subsidiary. At Mondayls�".*6tting with the Board of County -Commissioners, the All Aboard Florida representative acknowledged that the msoney being borrowed by All Aboard. Florida would be used to builda second.and'third set of tracks that would be used by the FEC in. its freight operations. That's only half of the story. The first, second and third set of tracks and the roadbed will be owned by the FEC and will not be subject to the lien of the mortgage given by All Aboard Florida to secure its debt. If All Aboard Florida should fail, then the FEC has the improved roadbed and the second and third set of tracks free and clear of any lien. /3 V /,F/c 1100; ?

By Crag Rubadoux and Tim Walters Posted June 23, 2014 Dave Berman and w'avne T. Price, FLORIDA TODAY 6:45 p.m EDTJune 23, 1014 The deal, in the works for a year, was (mown as 'Project Pelican.' (Phob: FLORIDA TODAY FILE) Port Canaveral's new cargo era is underway. The port and a unit of a United Arab Emirates -based company signed a 35 -year deal Monday for the company to operate a cargo terminal at the port. Port officials say the deal with privately owned Gulftainer and its new U.S. unit, GT USA, would create 2,000 direct and spinoff jobs when fully operational, including 500 at the port itself. They said Gulftainer plans to make a $100 million investment locally in infrastructure, equipment and staff. "Gulftainer has an incredible history of success, expansion and growth, and will be invaluable partners," Canaveral Port Authority Chairman Tom Weinberg said. 'They are a great partner for the future. This is an incredible new chapter here at Port Canaveral. This is a true game -changer that will strengthen our cargo operations." Port Canaveral Chief Executive Officer John Walsh said Monday's signing ceremony at the port's Cruise Terminal is the celebration of "a new beginning here'— one in which cargo begins to emerge from the shadows of the port's huge cruise business. Walsh said Monday was the culmination of a two-year effort to bring Gulftainer to Brevard County, dating back to initial contacts with the company by Walsh's predecessor, Stan Payne. Walsh renewed discussions with Gulftainer when he became CEO a year ago. What helped seal the deal with the company, Walsh said, was the port's acquisition of two massive cargo cranes and its plans for rail connections to the port. Badr Jafar, chairman of the executive board of the Gulftainer Group, said he expects his company eventually would handle 700,000 containers a year from Port Canaveral. http://www.flof datoday.comistorylmoneyleompaniesl2Ol4/06/231gulftainer-port-canaveral-cargo-uae/... 10/16/2014 ,"Florida East Coast Railway: Fastest Trade Route - PortMiami - Miami -Dade County Page 2 of 3 Customer Care About The Port The PortMiami-Florida East Coast (FEC) Railway connection offers the fastest access to Soudwadem'U.S. consumer markets.
