Lambert Noise Compatibility Study

Introduction Study Process Relates to Lambert's Role

The Noise Compatibility Study will produce a balanced and cost-effective plan to address the existing airport noise exposure on surrounding communities and to reduce the potential noise exposure in the future. It will do this by analyzing the existing and projected future noise exposure, existing and proposed land uses, and compatible community-development objectives. The Study will examine current aircraft noise levels and project what those may be five years into the future. The existing and projected future noise conditions for the Airport will be depicted on Noise Exposure Maps.

The Study also will review the measures the Airport has taken through the implementation of its successful Noise Compatibility Program to mitigate the impact of noise on surrounding areas. The Noise Compatibility Study will follow a defined process and will produce final documents that will be submitted to the Federal Aviation Administration for their review and acceptance.

A great deal has occurred both locally and nationally since the most recent Noise Compatibility Study was completed in the mid-1990s. The current planning process provides the opportunity to consider changing conditions in the St. Louis area, and aviation-industry challenges and opportunities nationwide, keeping in mind the Airport's role in the region. Aviation's consistent long-term growth and short-term fluctuations will be assessed as part of the studies.
