The City of Philadelphia, Division of Aviation is in the process of updating the Federal Aviation Regulation Part 150 Noise Compatibility Study for the Philadelphia International Airport (PHL). The current Noise Exposure Maps (NEM) and Noise Compatibility Program (NCP) that are the result of a Part 150 Study were approved by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) on May 20, 2003.

The original study documented, at the time, the existing (2002) and forecast (2006) noise impacts for the communities surrounding PHL. This update will re-evaluate the previous findings and determine if there are any changes or increases in noise impacts. The study will again document the existing level of noise exposure, as well as those forecasted to occur within the next five years.

To obtain more information on this important study, learn more about the update process, and to find out when one of the Community Informational Workshops will be held in your area, please click on the following link to be directed to the project website – PHL Part 150 Noise Compatibility Study Update.
