Public Meeting on National Airport’s Noise Compatibility Study

About Us

COG is the one place in metropolitan Washington that regularly brings leaders together to develop solutions to the region's major challenges. COG prepares plans enabling the region to receive federal funding, provides members with research and data to inform decision-making, and offers a wide range of programs, including commuter services, cooperative purchasing, technical assistance and grants, and public outreach campaigns.

The Advisory Committee to National Airport's Noise Compatibility Study will sponsor two public meetings in June.

The Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority (MWAA), the operator of Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport, has initiated a major update of the Noise Compatibility Study for the Airport. This study, conducted in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Aviation Administration's process, is designed to forecast future noise contours at Reagan National and to propose abatement and mitigation actions to reduce community noise impacts.

Because of the importance of this issue to the community, the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments' (MWCOG) Committee on Noise Abatement and Aviation at National and Dulles Airports (CONAANDA) is partnering with MWAA throughout the process. A Community Advisory Committee (Advisory Committee) has been established to assist and advise the Airports Authority in this study. The Advisory Committee is sponsoring two public meetings in June to advise the broader community on the scope of the study and to elicit citizen concerns regarding noise impacts from Reagan National. Additional public meetings will be held as the study progresses.
