The Advisory Committee to National Airport’s Noise Compatibility Study
will sponsor three public meetings

The Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority (MWAA), the operator of Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport, initiated an update to the Noise Compatibility Study for the Airport. This study, conducted in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Aviation Regulation Part 150, is designed to project future aircraft noise exposure from aircraft operations at Reagan National and to develop recommended 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 public meetings in April to present the recommended noise abatement alternatives that the Advisory Committee has developed. In addition, a public hearing is being planned for September 2004, after full documentation of the study has been made available for public review.

Public Meeting Format:

Briefing on Study and Recommendations
Q & A Period
Public Comment Period (2 minutes per person)
Work Session
