Program Information

• This program installs noise mitigation measures, such as specially designed noise reducing windows and doors, in homes near the airport affected by the highest levels of aircraft noise, those in noise contours 75 to 65 CNEL (Community Noise Equivalent Level) Federal Aviation Regulation (FAR) Part 150 – Airport Noise Compatibility Planning (pdf format )

• Homes in the Highest contours (70-75 CNEL) are treated first; homes in the lower contours will be treated in the descending order of noise level.

• Home Owners are contacted by Airport representatives, based upon this priority. Homeowners execute Avigation Easements in return for the installation of noise reducing improvements to their homes.

• The Program is funded 95% by Federal Government grants awarded by the FAA; Measure C or the Airport matches 5%

• At the present funding levels, the program may require 15-20 years to treat all 2,500 homes in the eligible area. Fresno Yosemite International Airport's goal is to complete this program as quickly as federal grants permit.

• This Program is only one way Fresno Yosemite International Airport is working to reduce aircraft noise. Flight paths and aircraft procedures are periodically reviewed and modified to reduce the impact of aircraft noise from commercial, cargo and military aircraft.

Objective

• Our objective is to operate as a good corporate neighbor. As such, Fresno Yosemite International makes a significant contribution to the economy of Fresno and the Central Valley.
