AB 972 (Calderon) became effective October 13, 2001. This bill changed the Preliminary Endangerment Assessment (PEA) public review and approval process. These changes are not yet reflected on this website. Please contact the SFPD representative assigned to your county, or the DTSC, for more information on the effects of AB 972. This website is being updated to reflect the changes made by AB 972 and AB 1367 (Wiggins). AB 1367 takes effect on January 1, 2002.
The Caltrans Aeronautics Program review is the third and final environmental review your district may need to consider. The California Department of Education (CDE) is required to provide the Caltrans Aeronautics Program with written notice when any proposed school site is located within two miles of any point on an airport runway or potential runway included in an airport master plan. State funds cannot be allocated unless the Caltrans Aeronautics Program finds the site acceptable.
The Caltrans Aeronautics Program evaluates the proposed project for any safety hazard that may result from the school's proximity to an airport. Even when no hazard is found, the agency often recommends design changes to provide desirable protection against potentially disruptive aircraft noise.
