The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has determined that the noise exposure map for Oxnard Airport, submitted by the County of Ventura, complies with all necessary legal and regulatory requirements. This decision was made effective on April 29, 2025. The noise exposure map includes data such as current and future noise levels and impacts from aircraft operations. However, the FAA's acceptance of this map does not mean it approves of the data or plans associated with it, nor does it commit to funding any related programs. The local government remains responsible for land use planning and addressing specific property issues within the noise exposure areas.
Simple Explanation
The FAA looked at a map made by the County of Ventura showing where it's loud from planes around Oxnard Airport and said, "This map is fine!" But they are not saying they agree with everything on it or that they will pay for changes; it's up to the local government to figure out what to do about it.
