§ 5037. Suggested Methodology for Controlling and Reducing Noise Problems.
The methods whereby the impact of airport noise may be controlled and reduced include, but are not limited to, the following:
(a) Encouraging use of the airport by aircraft classes with lower noise level characteristics and discouraging use by higher noise level aircraft classes;
(b) Encouraging approach and departure flight paths and procedures to minimize the noise in residential areas;
(c) Planning runway utilization schedules to take into account adjacent residential areas, noise characteristics of aircraft and noise sensitive time periods;
(d) Reduction of the flight frequency, particularly in the most noise sensitive time periods and by the noisier aircraft;
(e) Employing shielding for advantage, using natural terrain, buildings, and other obstructions to noise; and
(f) Development of compatible land uses within the noise impact boundary through rezoning, acquisition of avigation easements for noise (voluntarily in exchange for acoustical insulation, an agreed fee, or by eminent domain), application of acoustical insulation, or acquisition of property as examples.
Preference shall be given to actions which reduce the impact of airport noise on existing communities. Land use conversion involving existing residential communities shall normally be considered the least desirable action for achieving compliance with these regulations.
