Chung Councilmember Hawaii County Council 25 Aupuni Street Hilo, Hawaii 96'720 Dear Councilmember Chung: Subject: Hilo International Airport Noise Compatibility Program In response to your letter of October 7, 1997, the Noise Compatibility Program is a voluntary program which was initiated by the State. Tlhe goal of the program is to disclose the extent of existing incompatible lands and to define the limits of future impacted areas i:n order to establish and maintain compatible land uses within the :noise contours. The State Airports Division's goals are to do this for land areas between 75 and 60 Dnl (day- night average) contours. The program also recommends noise abatement and mitigation measures for devlelopments currently existing within the incompatible use. The implementation of the recommended noise abatement and mitigation measures is at the discretion of the State and is dependent on available funds. The recommendations that the State has implemented are: • Currently engaged in design work for noise attenuation at Keaukaha Elementary School. • Monitors development proposals in the Hilo International Airport Environs and discloses noise exposure maps to the Community when requested. • Discloses Airport Noise Impacts for Real Estate Transfers when requested. r~~. >u0. 558, a ~ P11e Ito.
