One major feature of this project is the scientific determination of noise effects of jet aircraft operation on land uses in the environs of a major jet airport. This was accomplished by means of an acoustical engineering study. This study resulted in the demarcation of the area affected by sound to a degree that restriction of land uses is required. The methods and techniques used for developing such a pattern can be applied to the distinctive conditions at each airport. The affected area pattern as developed in this study cannot be applied indiscriminately to other airports. The project also provides certain principles that can be used in other situations. The other major feature of this project is the development of a land use plan of compatible land uses in relation to the conditions imposed by jet aircraft operations, and anticipated future aircraft traffic. The formulation of the plan was directly related to (1) the noise contour pattern in the environs of the airport that is expected to prevail in 1980, (2) the amount and character of airport-generated land use and (3) the normal increment of suburban growth anticipated by this date. Such a plan is necessarily long range in scope to provide a compatible land pattern in the vicinity of the airport which will reflect the dynamic character of the the aircraft industry.
