Plain-language change summary

The recent amendments to SB 636 involve updates to the definitions within the Permanent Noise Monitoring Act. Notably, the definitions of "Airport" and "Airport sponsor" have been clarified to specify the requirements for each. By establishing clear terms, these changes are designed to enhance understanding of noise regulations and improve monitoring efforts near busy airports. This is important because effective noise management can significantly impact community quality of life and health.

provided, that SB0636 Enrolled - 2 - LRB099 03346 RJF 23354 b no certificate of approval shall be required for an airport or restricted landing area which was in existence and approved by the Illinois Aeronautics Commission, whether or not being operated, on or before July 1, 1945, or for the O'Hare Modernization Program as defined in Section 10 of the O'Hare Modernization Act;
8-6-03.)
8-6-03.) Section 10.
The Permanent Noise Monitoring Act is amended by changing Sections 5 and 15 as follows:
SB0636 Enrolled - 3 - LRB099 03346 RJF 23354 b (620 ILCS 35/5) (from Ch.
15 1/2, par.
755) Sec.
5.
Definitions.
As used in this Act:
(a) "Airport" means an airport, as defined in Section 6 of the Illinois Aeronautics Act, that has more than 500,000 aircraft operations (take-offs and landings) per year.
(a-1) "Airport sponsor" means any municipality, as defined in Section 20 of the Illinois Aeronautics Act, that can own and operate an airport.
(a-3) "Annual community noise equivalent level" or "annual CNEL" means the average sound level (on an energy basis), in decibels, of the daily community noise equivalent level over a 12-month period.
The annual CNEL is calculated by the following:
Annual CNEL = 10 log10(1/365) SIGMA antilog (CNEL(i)/10)] Where:
(1) CNEL(i) = the daily CNEL for each day in a continuous 12-month period;
and (2) SIGMA means summation.
When the annual CNEL is approximated by measurements on a statistical basis, the number 365 is replaced by the number of days for which measurements are obtained.
(a-5) "Daily community noise equivalent level" or "CNEL" means the 24-hour day average sound level, in decibels, SB0636 Enrolled - 4 - LRB099 03346 RJF 23354 b adjusted to an equivalent level to account for the lower tolerance of people to noise during evening and night time periods relative to the daytime period.
The daily community noise equivalent level is calculated from the hourly noise levels by the following:
CNEL = 10 log (1/24) [SIGMA antilog (HNLD/10) + 3 SIGMA antilog (HNLE/10) + 10 SIGMA antilog (HNLN/10)] Where:
(1) HNLD means the hourly noise levels for the period 7:00 a.m.
through 6:59 p.m.;
(2) HNLE means the hourly noise levels for the period 7:00 p.m.
through 9:59 p.m.;
(3) HNLN means the hourly noise levels for the period 10:00 p.m.
through 6:59 a.m.;
and (4) SIGMA means summation.
(a-8) "Noise exposure level" means the level, in decibels, of the time-integrated A-weighted squared sound pressure for a stated time interval or event, based on the reference pressure of 20 micronewtons per square meter and reference duration of one second.
(a-9) "Noise level" means the sound level measure, in decibels, of an A-weighted sound pressure level as measured using the slow dynamic characteristic for sound level meters specified in American National Standard Specification for SB0636 Enrolled - 5 - LRB099 03346 RJF 23354 b Sound Level Meters (ANSI S1.4-1983 as revised by ANSI S1.4A-1985), which is hereby incorporated by reference.
The A-weighting characteristic modifies the frequency response of the measuring instrument to account approximately for the frequency characteristics of the human ear.
The reference pressure is 20 micronewtons/square meter (2 x 10 -4microbar).
(b) "Permanent noise monitoring system" or "system" means a system that includes at least:
(1) automated noise monitors capable of recording noise levels 24 hours per day 365 days per year;
and (2) computer equipment sufficient to process the data from each noise monitor so that permanent noise monitoring reports in accordance with Section 15 of this Act can be generated.
(c) "Division" means the Division of Aeronautics of the Illinois Department of Transportation.
(d) (Blank).
"Ldn" means day-night average sound level.
"Day-night average sound level" has the meaning ascribed to it in Section 150.7 of Part 150 of Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations.

(3) week of the year;
(4) type of aircraft;
and (5) the single highest noise event recorded at each monitor.
(c) Noise contour maps showing the 65 annual CNEL Ldn, 70 annual CNEL Ldn and 75 annual CNEL Ldn zones around the airport.
SB0636 Enrolled - 7 - LRB099 03346 RJF 23354 b (d) Noise contour maps showing the 65 decibel (dBA), 70 dBA, and 75 dBA zones around the airport for:
(1) 7:00 a.m.
through 6:59 to 10:00 p.m.;
(1.5) 7:00 p.m.
through 9:59 p.m.;
(2) 10:00 p.m.
through 6:59 to 7:00 a.m.;
and (3) types of aircraft.
(e) The noise contour maps produced under subsections (c) and (d) shall also indicate:
(1) residential areas (single and multi-family);
(2) schools;
(3) hospitals and nursing homes;
(4) recreational areas, including but not limited to parks and forest preserves;

(9) the number of residents within each contour;
(10) the number of schools within each contour;
and (11) the number of school students within each contour.
(f) Through 2008, a certification by the Division that the system was in proper working order during the period or, if it was not, a specific description of any and all problems with the System during the period.
(g) Beginning in 2009, a certification by the airport SB0636 Enrolled - 8 - LRB099 03346 RJF 23354 b sponsor that the system was in proper working order during the period or, if it was not, a specific description of any and all problems with the system during the period.
