South County Residents Post Petition Against Jet Airplane Noise

For over two years residents of Laguna Beach, Laguna Niguel, Dana Point, San Juan Capistrano and Aliso Viejo have been under siege from low flying aircraft from John Wayne Airport, owned and operated by the County of Orange. These planes are flying a targeted and narrow flight path that has created non-stop noise, a public nuisance and destroyed residents’ quiet enjoyment of their homes. This has created stress, physical and emotional illness, significant pollution and a loss of property values. Since this new flight path was implemented in March 2017 it has worsened significantly.
South Orange County residents appealed to the Orange County Board of Supervisors for relief from the noise. The Board of Supervisors advised us they would address the issue. In November 2016, they joined with Newport Beach to sue the FAA to do an environmental impact study. When we asked for updates we were told the Supervisors couldn’t discuss it until the lawsuit was over. The lawsuit was settled in January 2018. This settlement did NOTHING to address South County residents’ concerns. In fact, this settlement formalized the flight path that has been causing all the noise, pollution and health/safety issues.
