This Noise Compatibility Program Update assessed new noise
abatement procedures prior to the opening of the third parallel runway
as well as the increased operations levels during the past 10 years. These
new noise abatement procedures include departure turns for both turboprop
and turbojet aircraft, a side-step arrival procedure for the new parallel
runway, and use of new technology (Differential Global Positioning Systems,
Area Navigation, and on-board Flight Management Systems) to better define
existing and new noise abatement procedures. Several noise abatement recommendations
from the original Part 150 Study prepared by Coffman Associates were also
recommended to be continued. Land use recommendations included expansion
of the sound insulation program, dwelling exchange program, general plan
amendments, building code amendments, and implementation of overlay zoning.
