Sensitive Receptors
The proposed receiver site would extend from north of Ocean Street, on the north, to just south of
Pine Street. Sensitive noise receptors include single and multi-family residences that are adjacent to
the beach. Some of these homes have rip-rap protection, others do not. The east sides of these
homes face Ocean Street. The Army and Navy Academy, a preparatory school, is also adjacent to
the beach, south of Pacific Street.
