1. I occasionally hear aircraft noise in my neighborhood, does the Town noise ordinance apply to this noise?

Federal laws govern the flight patterns and noise levels of aircraft. The Town’s noise ordinance does not apply and does not have any authority over aircraft noise, as only federal law applies to this issue. Whether the aircraft is associated with Centennial Airport in Arapahoe County or Denver International Airport, only federal laws apply to aircraft noise.

2. What can be done to reduce the noise from aircraft flying over Castle Rock?

The Centennial Airport Community Noise Roundtable was created in 2009 with the intent to reduce and mitigate noise impacts from users of Centennial Airport. This group includes representatives from the Colorado Department of Transportation, the Federal Aviation Administration and local municipalities, including Castle Rock. This group provides a means to ensure cooperation between the airport and local communities in achieving noise reductions wherever possible (such as suggesting different flight patterns for consideration by airport authorities). Additional information is available on the Centennial Airport Community Noise Roundtable website.
