MicroBNOISE: A User's Manual

Abstract

The Army has developed the Installation Compatible Use Zone(ICUZ) program to safeguard the operational capability of Army installations from encroachment by off-post, noise-sensitive land uses such as housing. ICUZ, which is based on the Integrated Noise Contour System developed by the U.S. Army Construction Engineering Research Laboratory(USA-CERL), requires noise contours to be developed around military installations to assist in effective land-use planning and to prevent community encroachment on high-noise training areas. By identifying heavily noise-impacted areas, the public, local governments, and the installation can work together to minimize noise-sensitive development. The ICUZ program uses the Blast Noise Prediction(BNOISE 3.2) computer program to generate noise contour maps that characterize an installation's noise footprint.
