Welcome to the Charlotte Douglas International Airport Part 150 Study Update Website

The City of Charlotte is currently updating the Part 150 Noise Compatibility Study for the Charlotte Douglas International Airport (CLT). The Part 150 Study process uses a balanced approach to identify noise incompatibilities surrounding an airport, and to recommend measures to both correct existing incompatibilities and to prevent future incompatibilities. For Part 150 Study purposes, noise incompatibilities are defined as residences or public use noise-sensitive facilities (libraries, churches, schools, nursing homes, and hospitals) within the 65 Day-Night Average Sound Level (DNL) noise contour.

The purpose for conducting a Part 150 Study Update is to develop a balanced and cost-effective plan for reducing current noise impacts from the Airport’s operations, where practical, and to limit additional impacts in the future.

Among the general goals and objectives addressed by a Part 150 Study are the following:

  • To reduce, where feasible, existing and forecasted noise levels over existing noise-sensitive land uses
  • To reduce new noise-sensitive developments near the Airport
  • To mitigate, where feasible, adverse impacts in accordance with Federal guidelines
  • To provide mitigation measures that are sensitive to the needs of the community and its stability
  • To be consistent, where feasible, with local land use planning and development policies
