Since 1997, PDK has offered voluntary relocation assistance
to almost 200 residents that live in areas that experience high levels of noise
from PDK operations. These homes were identified in a noise compatibility study
that the airport completed in 1996. The study was conducted with a spirit of
cooperation with the neighborhoods surrounding PDK and attempts to remedy current
and future noise impacts affecting our citizens.
The airport purchases these homes with grants provided by the
Federal Aviation Administration. The airport must contribute 10% of the total
grant amount. No DeKalb County tax dollars are used to acquire these properties.
After purchasing all of the eligible homes that choose to
participate, PDK is charged by the FAA to insure that this land does not become
residential again. What happens to the land will be decided by the DeKalb County
Board of Commissioners and the City of Chamblee; however, none of this
land will be used to expand PDK runways or taxiways.
| PDK Land Acquisition for Safety Purposes |
|
Based on the 1993 Airport Master Plan, land has been
acquired and converted to compatible use in the Runway Protection Zone
(or RPZ) located north of the Chamblee-Tucker Road on the departure
paths of Runways 2L and 2R. The FAA has encouraged this conversion of
residential and commercial land uses and has participated in the project
with 90% matching funds.
In 1997, with the approval of the noise compatibility
study, many of the homes that were being purchased for safety reasons
were also designated as noise impacted homes and were eligible for
relocation under PDK's Noise Relocation Program.
Since that time, the FAA has not funded any buyout of
homes with "Safety" grants, and has only provided the airport
with "Noise" grants.
