The Louisville Regional Airport Authority (LRAA) has developed a draft update to its Noise Exposure Maps for the Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport (SDF) in accordance with Federal Aviation Administration guidelines, known as Part 150. Part 150 is a voluntary federal program administered by the FAA that sets guidelines for aircraft noise exposure, and in establishing programs to minimize incompatibilities with surrounding land uses.
The Draft Noise Exposure Maps and accompanying documentation are being made available for public review beginning October 24, 2024. For the 30-day public review period, the draft document and appendices can be accessed online at this site by clicking the yellow button below and hard copies may be viewed at the LRAA Maintenance Facility (4320 Old Park Blvd, Louisville, KY 40209) and Louisville Free Public Library – Main Branch (301 York Street, Louisville, KY 40203).
In addition, the LRAA is inviting the public to an open house on Thursday, November 7, 2024 between 5:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. at Fourth Presbyterian Church (3016 Preston Highway). Those in attendance may review the draft Noise Exposure Map update, draft aircraft noise exposure contours, the resulting assessed land use compatibility and the data that supported the development of the draft noise exposure contours. They will also be able to ask questions of the technical staff that prepared the updated Noise Exposure Map. A short presentation summarizing the process and results will take place at 5:30 p.m. The public will have the opportunity to provide written comments at the workshop or to record oral comments.
In addition, the LRAA is accepting written comments during the 30-day review period. Written comments can be submitted to Bob Slattery at Engineering@FlyLouisville.com or at the following address by November 22, 2024:
