These documents relate to airport noise insulation programs and community advocacy efforts. The first section describes San Francisco International Airport's Replacement and Second Chance Noise Insulation Initiative, which offers free acoustical improvements—such as window replacement and ventilation installation—to eligible homeowners within the 65-decibel noise contour. The accompanying letter, written by a member of the League of Quiet Skies Voters, calls for gathering comparative data on noise mitigation programs from major airports across the country, with the goal of holding the Port of Seattle accountable by benchmarking its practices against peer airports.Open full document
Notes
San Francisco International Airport’s (SFO) Replacement and Second Chance Noise Insulation Initiative provides acoustical improvements to qualifying residential properties at no cost to eligible owners. The initiative has two components: a Second Chance Initiative for owners who did not participate in previous Noise Insulation Program phases, and a Replacement Initiative for properties where previously installed improvements have failed. An accompanying letter from JC to Larry Cripe requests that the League of Quiet Skies Voters gather comparative data on noise mitigation programs from airports across the United States.
