Part 150: Noise Compatibility StudyThe new runway at Piedmont Triad International Airport is under construction and the Piedmont Triad Airport Authority is conducting an Airport Noise Compatibility Study, also called a Part 150 Study. The Part 150 Study seeks to reduce the impacts of airport operations on neighborhoods surrounding the airport. This website will help address questions Triad residents have about airport noise, the Noise Compatibility Study and community involvement in the process. Here is the latest:Authority to Hear Study Recommendations Jan. 16The next step in the Part 150 Study process will be for Project Manager Andy Harris to present the Final Draft Part 150 Study Report to the Airport Authority at its January 16 meeting. Authority members received the Final Draft Report for review during the first week of January.The Final Draft Report is posted under the Documents button on this website. A hard copy is available for public review at the Piedmont Triad Airport Authority office.Harris and other consultants prepared responses to comments from a public hearing that was held November 16 at the Airport Marriott. Nearly 100 area residents attended the public hearing, with nearly 30 people offering comments and questions about the proposed Noise Compatibility Program (NCP) that has been developed for PTIA. The NCP in the Final Draft Report includes responses to comments and questions.The public hearing was a forum for citizens to air their views about recommendations created by airport consultants and three study committees over the past two and a half years. People could make official comments publicly during the meeting, privately to a stenographer, or submit comments in writing. The hearing was facilitated by Andy Harris, Part 150 Study project manager, who offered an overview of PTIA’s Part 150 Study process. He said that all comments would be reviewed and the final version of the NCP would address the questions and concerns expressed by meeting attendees.
