The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), with the cooperation of the National Park Service (NPS) and assistance of the U.S. Department of Transportation, John A. Volpe National Transportation Systems Center (Volpe Center) is developing Air Tour Management Plans (ATMP) and Voluntary Agreements (VA) for all national parks with commercial air tours, with the exception of the Grand Canyon National Park (GCNP), tribal lands within or abutting the GCNP, air tour operations flying over or near the Lake Mead National Recreation Area solely as a transportation route to conduct an air tour over GCNP, Rocky Mountain National Park, and national park units located in Alaska. An important area of technical support is the determination of representative baseline ambient sound levels for the study parks. The FAA, with the assistance of the Volpe Center’s Environmental Measurement and Modeling Division, and the NPS conducted baseline ambient sound level measurements during May 2003 in Kalaupapa National Historical Park. Approximately one week of acoustical and meteorological data were measured at three sites throughout the park. This document summarizes the results of the noise measurement study.
