2000 Oregon Aviation Plan
Oregon's system of airports provides a crucial component of the state's transportation network. Public-use airports play a key role in ensuring economic growth and livability throughout the state. Airline passengers, overnight mail, air cargo, air ambulance, forest fire suppression, crop spraying, military use and aviation-related businesses all depend on an adequate network of airports. The 2000 Oregon Aviation Plan applies general policies from the state's multimodal Oregon Transportation Plan to the state's public-use aviation system - calling for an aviation system marked by efficiency, accessibility, environmental responsibility, connectivity among places, connectivity among places, connectivity among modes of transportation, safety, security and financial stability.

Aurora State Airport Noise Mitigation Program
In May 2002, an independent national noise consulting firm completed a critical noise mitigation study for Aurora State Airport. Working closely with the consultants was a local public advisory board who named themselves "DECIBEL." The resulting report represents the culmination of months of on-site noise monitoring, a survey of all based aircraft owners to ascertain the types of aircraft that regularly utilize the airport, and hours of examination and discussion by DECIBEL. Ultimately, all data was synthesized into the FAA Integrated Noise Model to calculate the unique noise contours being generated at the airport - and unique suggestions formulated to minimize noise issues in this historic Oregon colony.

Model Aviation Land Use Ordinances
The Department has undertaken the task of creating Model Aviation Land Use Ordinances to facilitate application of Oregon's unique land use laws with a focus on actively preserving the health and viability of the state's airport system. Our Model Ordinances serve to ease efforts by city and county governments to create zoning ordinances that conform with state land use laws while protecting airports from the threats of population density and escalating rates of development.
