Congresswoman Meng Pushes for EPA Action on Airplane Noise

June 10, 2015

Congresswoman Grace Meng has reached out to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to push for an increase in the agency's efforts to control noise pollution from airplanes and helicopters.

Residents from Bayside, Flushing and surrounding neighborhoods have reported daily disruption from roaring, low-flying planes since the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) approved a route change in December 2012 that affected departing LaGuardia Airport traffic.
