1965, 1970 AND 1975 NOISE EXPOSURE FORECAST AREAS FOR CHICAGO O'HARE INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT.

Abstract

Noise Exposure Forecast (NEF) areas resulting from takeoff and landing operations at Chicago O'Hare International Airport are shown for 1965, 1970, and 1975. The NEF areas depict areas of differing land-use compatibility with respect to aircraft noise; hence, the NEF areas may be used as a guide to land-use planning or zoning. The NEF areas are based upon aircraft noise described in terms of effective perceived noise levels, plus consideration of the number of operations per daytime and nighttime period. NEF areas B and C show sizable increases between 1965 and 1970, particularly in northeast and southwest directions. Between 1970 and 1975, further moderate increases in NEF areas B and C are forecast.
