Council OKs Part 150 airport study
ThisWeek Worthington, December 10, 2009
Seven years ago, a crowd of residents filled Worthington City Council chambers to ask for help in halting the expansion of Don Scott Field. Noise generated by planes and small jets was shaking houses and awakening people from their sleep, and an extension of the north runway would only make matters worse, they said. On Monday, many of the same people were back to add their input as council signed off on a list of 21 recommendations designed to mitigate noise near the airport, especially over Worthington.

Deadline Extended For Those Opposing Airport Expansion
10 TV News (CBS), December 2, 2009
Residents living near The Ohio State University's Don Scott Airport on Case Road said proposed expansion plans will make noise problems worse. "This morning for instance, we had a loud jet, at 6:03 actually. It's disturbing, Sometimes there are many of them four, five in a row," said Tony Pello. Some residents fear the expansion could lead to more corporate jets - if Ohio State moves forward with plans to add new hangers and extend the northern runway.

Letter: Comments on OSU airport noise study don't have merit
ThisWeek Worthington, December 2, 2009
The Ohio State University Airport would like to thank those who participated in the noise study that began in 2007. Expert noise consultants spent two years analyzing operations at the Airport, following standards set by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to ensure safety and provide consistent measures with similar airports. The study team provided numerous opportunities for input, and considered every idea submitted by the public. Each idea, whether it could or could not work at our airport, was examined and discussed completely and thoroughly at public meetings. In a letter to ThisWeek on Nov. 9, Worthington residents John O'Keeffe and Jane Weislogel offered several questions and comments about the study, none of which have merit.

Letter: Study leaves many questions about airport unanswered
The Worthington News, December 2, 2009
We suggest residents, business owners and historic groups review the most recently released noise exposure maps available in Chapter 9 in the Document section of OSU Airport's Part 150 Web site at osuairportpart150.com to understand current and future noise impacts of the OSU Airport. The maps, prepared by OSU consultants, show single event level (SEL) noise contours to 80dB and 85dB. These maps clearly show those noise contours include most of Worthington, Riverlea and large sections of Sharon Township. It is single event noise that people find problematic.
