A RESOLUTION TO SUPPORT EFFORTS TO MITIGATE THE
NEGATIVE IMPACTS OF AIRCRAFT NOISE GENERATED BY
THE PLANNED EXPANSION OF O'HARE INTERNATIONAL
AIRPORT
WHEREAS, the Federal Aviation Administration has prepared
and circulated a final Environmental Impact Statement on the
proposed Master Development Plan for the Chicago O'Hare
International Airport, Chicago, Illinois; and,
WHEREAS, the Mayor and Board of Trustees find that the
Environmental Impact Statement does not adequately address
potential noise mitigation measures; and,
WHEREAS, aircraft noise from O'Hare Airport does have a
negative impact on the well being of certain Village residents
and could diminish the quality of life in certain residential
neighborhoods in the Village; and,
WHEREAS, the Mayor and Board of Trustees find that it is in
the best interests of the Village to take independent action
to mandate the appropriate Federal or State agencies to
require long-range solutions to the noise problem at O'Hare
Airport.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE MAYOR AND BOARD OF
TRUSTEES OF THE VILLAGE OF MOUNT PROSPECT, COOK COUNTY,
ILLINOIS:
SECTION ONE: It is hereby determined that as a matter of
public policy, the Village of Mount Prospect will support
efforts to mitigate the negative impacts of aircraft noise
generated by the planned expansion of O'Hare International
Airport.
SECTION TWO: The Village will contact the appropriate
Federal or State agencies to request that a new Environmental
Impact Statement be prepared to assess the long-range impacts
of noise on the communities affected by O'Hare traffic and
to investigate potential noise mitigation techniques.
SECTION THREE: The Village will contact Legislative and
Congressional Representatives to request that funds be
allocated for the purpose of conducting such a study.

and effect from and after its passage and approval in the
