Abstract:

The United States Postal Service (USPS) is finishing a two-year demonstration project

examining the feasibility of mail delivery via hovercraft to remote Alaskan villages. Prior to this

demonstration project, and in support of the Environmental Assessment (EA) for the project1, the

Volpe Center Acoustics Facility (VCAF) conducted a “Noise Characterization Study”2 of the

AP.1-88, the proposed hovercraft for the project. This study took place in Anchorage, Alaska.

Early in the demonstration project, the Hovercraft Resolution Committee (HRC), a task force

made up of representatives from the villages neighboring Bethel, Alaska, as well as local and

federal resource agencies, was made aware of public concern regarding hovercraft noise in the

remote villages. As a result, sound level monitoring was undertaken during September 1997 in

order to: (1) study hovercraft noise in the village environment to confirm the applicability of the

data in the Noise Characterization Study; (2) study village ambient sound levels to determine the

reasonableness of the 40 dB value assumed in the EA; and (3) compare in-situ hovercraft sound

levels with those of other village noise sources. The results of this monitoring program are

presented in Reference 3.3
