SPECIFIC EXPLANATION:
After conducting an evaluation of the surrounding noise environment, the Houston Airport System (HAS) submitted the proposed George Bush Intercontinental Airport Residential Insulation Program (IAH RSIP) to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). The IAH RSIP identified significant changes in noise levels east of Runway 9/27 (primarily in the North Hollow Subdivision area) and recommended a noise mitigation program for residents within affected area.
The FAA reviewed and approved the IAH RSIP, and the primary responsibility for implementation of the IAH RSIP resides with HAS.
HAS conducted a Pilot Phase of 11 homes, and the sound insulation treatments consisted of replacement of windows and doors, HVAC treatments, insulation, and upgrades to electrical systems.
It is now requested that City Council approve the implementation of the Residential Sound Insulation Program Phase 1, for reduction of aircraft noise in 27 single family homes located in the North Hollow Subdivision east of HWY 59.
Phase 1 will consist of, but is not limited to, the following sound insulation treatments on the 27 qualifying homes: Replacement of windows and doors, providing HVAC treatments, providing insulation, and completing upgrades to electrical systems.
