EPA ANALYSIS OF NOISE PROBLEMS POINTS WAY TO FUTURE LEGISLATION
AT THE END OF 1971 THE U.S. ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY PRESENTED TO CONGRESS A COMPREHENSIVE, MULTIVOLUME REPORT ON NOISE IN THE UNITED STATES AND ABROAD. THE REPORT IS INTENDED TO ASSIST FEDERAL, STATE, AND LOCAL AGENCIES IN PREPARING NOISE CONTROL LEGISLATION AND TO SERVE ENGINEERS AND DESIGNERS OF TRANSPORTATION EQUIPMENT AND OTHER DEVICES POWERED BY INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINES. IN ADDITION TO ANALYZING AND EVALUATING NOISE FROM A LARGE VARIETY OF SOURCES, THE REPORT DISCUSSES THE INCREASE IN POWERED NOISE SOURCES, WHICH IN EVERY CASE OUTSTRIPS THE GROWTH IN POPULATION. THE PRESENT ARTICLE REVIEWING THE REPORT IS DIVIDED INTO THE FOLLOWING TOPICAL SECTIONS: LEGISLATIVE JURISDICTION AND REQUIREMENTS, EXISTING FEDERAL LEGISLATION AND CONTROLS, NOISE CONTROLS AT STATE LEVEL, LOCAL NOISE LEVEL CONTROLS, REDUCTION OF AIRCRAFT NOISE, EFFECTS OF V/STOL AIRCRAFT GROWTH, PROJECTED INCREASES IN GENERAL AIRCRAFT NOISE, CONTROL OF GROUND-VEHICLE NOISE, TRUCK AND BUS NOISE, NOISE FROM RECREATIONAL VEHICLES, CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT NOISE, AND NOISE FROM OTHER SOURCES.
