  • Why did the City of Des Moines rescind its sound code in 2012?

    At their April 26, 2012 meeting, the Des Moines City Council voted to remove any sound reduction requirements from its building code via (Ordinance #1539).

When the search for a second airport failed, they authorized the Port of Seattle to build the Third Runway, with a mandate to develop a noise abatement and mitigation program. In their effort to stop the Third Runway, the ACC argued over every detail of the Port's efforts--including property buyouts and sound insulation.
