State
Senator Quentin Kopp plans to introduce a bill to increase stateregulation
of airport noise. In August 1997, Kopp asked the California Departmentof
Transportation to look into:
Requiring community
notification when flight patterns change. Beefing up enforcement of
existing noise standards. Toughening standards to account for
low-frequency noise from newer airplanes. Giving more weight to night
noise rather than simply measuring cumulative noise.
