The FAR Part 150 Noise Compatibility Studies for both Camarillo and Oxnard Airports have been broken up into two parts: (1) The NEM or Noise Exposure Map, and (2) the NCP or Noise Compatibility Plan. The NEMs for both airports have been submitted and accepted by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the Department of Airports is now working to finalize the NCPs. The completion of the NCPs for both airports includes a public comment component. The comment period for both airports is now open. Comments may be made by utilizing the links listed below, by written communication mailed directly to the Department of Airports, or in person at the upcoming public hearings. (See information below.) Comments will be accepted through August 18th (Camarillo Airport) and August 19th (Oxnard Airport).
