ANNEX IV

MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS FOR STRATEGIC NOISE MAPPING

referred to in Article 7

1.

A strategic noise map is the presentation of data on one of the following aspects:

— 
an existing, a previous or a predicted noise situation in terms of a noise indicator,
— 
the exceeding of a limit value,
— 
the estimated number of dwellings, schools and hospitals in a certain area that are exposed to specific values of a noise indicator,
— 
the estimated number of people located in an area exposed to noise.

2.

Strategic noise maps may be presented to the public as:

— 
graphical plots,
— 
numerical data in tables,
— 
numerical data in electronic form.

3.

Strategic noise maps for agglomerations shall put a special emphasis on the noise emitted by:

— 
road traffic,
— 
rail traffic,
— 
airports,
— 
industrial activity sites, including ports.

4.

Strategic noise mapping will be used for the following purposes:

— 
the provision of the data to be sent to the Commission in accordance with Article 10(2) and Annex VI,
— 
a source of information for citizens in accordance with Article 9,
— 
a basis for action plans in accordance with Article 8.

Each of those applications requires a different type of strategic noise map.

5.

Minimum requirements for the strategic noise maps concerning the data to be sent to the Commission are set out in paragraphs 1.5, 1.6, 2.5, 2.6 and 2.7 of Annex VI.

6.

For the purposes of informing the citizen in accordance with Article 9 and the development of action plans in accordance with Article 8, additional and more detailed information must be given, such as:

— 
a graphical presentation,
— 
maps disclosing the exceeding of a limit value,
— 
difference maps, in which the existing situation is compared with various possible future situations,
— 
maps showing the value of a noise indicator at a height other than 4 m where appropriate.

The Member States may lay down rules on the types and formats of these noise maps.

7.

Strategic noise maps for local or national application must be made for an assessment height of 4 m and the 5 dB ranges of Lden and Lnight as defined in Annex VI.

8.

For agglomerations separate strategic noise maps must be made for road-traffic noise, rail-traffic noise, aircraft noise and industrial noise. Maps for other sources may be added.

9.

The Commission may develop guidelines providing further guidance on noise maps, noise mapping and mapping softwares in accordance with Article 13(2).
