About

The purpose of the PDA Noise Compatibility Committee is to create a formal conduit by which complaints concerning noise generated by air traffic activity at the Pease International Tradeport can be addressed. Also a forum is available so that surrounding communities, local interest groups and the media can be kept abreast of noise abatement measures, noise monitoring programs and general airport developments on a regular basis.

Members of the Noise Compatibility Committee consist of the surrounding communities of Dover, Durham, Eliot, Greenland, Kittery, Madbury, New Castle, Newington, North Hampton, Portsmouth, Rye and Stratham; airport users consisting of the Pease Air National Guard, Corporate Representative, Cargo Representative and Pan American Airways; the Regional Planning Commissions of Rockingham and Strafford Counties and Southern Maine; the Sherburne Civic Association, a local interest group; and Pease Tower and Manchester Approach, representing the FAA. Typically six to ten of these groups are represented at the quarterly NCC meetings with approximately fifteen individuals attending each meeting.
