The Highline Times--Wednesday, March 23, l994--Glacier High School can get very noisy, the Port tells Central Washington University. The ldn contour was 70 to 75 at that time.

What is it now? They have since been in and out--even the Big Picture School that used it for a couple of years has moved to another vacant school because "according to federal guidelines that use is not appropriate without some noise attenuation."

The port already has an avigation easement over the property as a result of a 1977 lawsuit that allows it to conduct air navigation over the property, including the resulting "noise, vibrations, fumes, dust, fuel particles and all other effects that may be caused by aircraft operating at the airport."

An athletic group leases the gym---but I guess because they voluntarily go there---like the community center it is an OK use.

I guess the residents of the neighborhood, like the school district, thought that the sound insulation program was going to be adequate for a compatible life with the airport. Think again---is it time for more insulation and will they pay for it?

Highline Times-August 23,1987--A P.S.---Going back a little further---"Quieter-jet plan moves closer to approval." Guess it has taken a little longer then they thought it would! Sorry about that!
