The Study was begun in October 2003 with a review of existing conditions, including aircraft operations, current land uses and land use guidelines adopted by area municipalities. The Part 150 Noise Compatibility Study Update is expected to be completed in 2005. Following adoption by the Wayne County Airport Authority, the Noise Compatibility Program and its underlying assumptions must be reviewed and approved by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in order to make the Noise Compatibility Program elements eligible for federal funds.

- Inventory of Existing Conditions
- Noise Monitoring
- Generate Existing and Future Base Case Noise Contours
- Noise / Land Use Effects / Develop Feasible Alternatives
- Evaluate Feasible Alternatives
- Combine and Narrow Feasible Alternatives
- Recommend Alternatives for Implementation
- Prioritize Recommendations
- Develop Noise Exposure Maps
- Develop Noise Compatibility Study Program
- Public Hearing and Adoption
