Guidelines For Considering Noise In Land Use Planning And Control Usdot EPA 0002 0001

To all local government officials and others interested in noise/land use concerns: In his Environmental Message to Congress in August, 1979, President Carter an- nounced a new Urban Noise Initiative to reduce urban noise. The Federal Interagency Com- mittee on Urban Noise was thereby established to coordinate various programs, including an interagency program designed “to encourage noise sensitive development, such as housing, to be located away from major noise sources.” As a first step in that program, the Commit- tee is pleased to make available this document which presents a broad consolidation of Federal guidance on the incorporation of noise considerations in local development plan- ning and site review operations. We hope that it will facilitate improved communication on noise compatible land use and that you will find it useful 'ncerns in your cornrnunrty. Douglas Costle Neil Goldschmidt Secretary U .S.
