Community Workshop: Hawthorne Airport Noise Compatibility Study

In June 2019, the Hawthorne Municipal Airport received a $307,000 grant from the Federal Aviation Administration to study the impact of airport noise on surrounding neighborhoods.

The first community workshop for this study will be held on:

November 14, 2019 from 6-8 PM at the
Hawthorne Memorial Center - Polaris Room - (3901 W. El Segundo Blvd)

The part 150 NEM (Noise Exposure Map) and NCP (Noise Compatibility Program) - is in progress now for Hawthorne Airport. This is a Federal Regulation, airports need to meet, for continued FAA approval and FAA grants to expand business uses and Fleet changes (types of aircraft).

This mandated Community Outreach program is designed to evaluate the existing and future (forecasted) aircraft conditions and prepares a plan to study ways to reduce aircraft noise impacts through the application of noise abatement techniques and to mitigate noise impacts on existing land uses.

The workshop will introduce the public to the study process and provide opportunity for questions and comments.
