COMMITTEE ON FINANCE
DATE: November 18, 1997 Re: Comm. No. 558.02/Res. No. 179
PLACE: Councilroom
TIME: 11:05 A.M.

Hawaii County Council
Hilo, Hawaii 96720
Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred Resolution No. 179, reports as follows:
Resolution No. 179, transmitted by Finance Committee Chair Aaron Chung, dated October 28,
1997, via Communication No. 558.02, urges the State Department of Transportation Airports
Division to implement recommendations as delineated in the Hilo International Airport Federal
Air Regulation (FAR) Part 150 Noise Compatibility Program (NCP) Report.
The 1992 Hilo International Airport NCP was a voluntary program initiated by the State and
FAA to study noise abatement measures. At the conclusion of the study, a report was prepared
which established a system for the measurement of airport noise and land use planning. The
report also recommended noise abatement and mitigation measures.
According to Communication No. 558.01 transmitted by Kazu Hayashida, State Director of
Transportation, most of the recommendations were not implemented primarily due to cost.
Resolution No. 179 urges the State to implement all the FAA approved recommended noise
abatement and mitigation measures.
Your Committee on Finance is in accord with the purpose and intent of Resolution No. 179 and
recommends its adoption.
