Existing Protections Noise Ordinances Commercial Air Carrier Noise Ordinance In effect since the 1960s (pre -dates ANCA) GANO (General Aviation Noise Ordinance) In effect since 1986 (also pre -dates ANCA) Establish times within which aircraft are prohibited from operating unless they satisfy noise thresholds at every monitoring station. Thresholds are based on single event (SENEL) noise limits. Generally prohibit noisy aircraft from: Departing between 10:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. (8:00 a.m. on Sundays); and Arriving between 1 1 :00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. (8:00 a.m. on Sundays). About ANCA Airport Noise and Capacity Act (ANCA): Passed in 1990. Required phase -out of Stage 2 aircraft by 12 - 3 1 -1 999. Requires FAA "review and approval" of proposed noise or access restrictions on Stage 3 (in 1990, the quietest commercial carrier) aircraft." "Part 161 " Study required for Stage 3 restrictions. No Stage 3 restrictions approved by FAA to date. FAA review and approval is not required of: • Noise ordinances that pre -date ANCA (such as OC's), • Existing intergovernmental agreements (such as the 1985 Settlement Agreement); or Amendments to existing agreements that do not affect airport safety or airport capacity. City's Aviation Policy (A -1 7) Developed cooperatively with City Council, Aviation Committee, AWG, SPON, and AirFair. Key provisions included in NB General Plan. "Impacts related to JWA are ... the most significant threat to the quality of life of NB" As a result of community activism, JWA is one of the most "community- friendly" airports in the nation. 'JWA Settlement Agreement is the single most important vehicle for controlling adverse airport impacts." Council should pursue future Settlement Agreement amendments only "if the terms and conditions of the amendments: Don't facilitate JWA expansion; Don't modify the curfew; Don't adversely impact quality of life; and Are in the best long -term interests of Newport Beach residents most adversely impacted by airport operations." The Settlement Agreement Goal for 2010 and beyond: Seek to preserve and continue the Settlement Agreement while addressing the local, regional, federal and business forces that affect the control and operation of JWA, and within legal constraints imposed by federal law and the County's ownership of .JWA. 2nd District Supervisor Moorlach says "2011 is the year" (to discuss the Agreement).
