Applicable Projects/Programs
Airport's Noise Insulation Program (NIP)
Over the past several decades, the Airport has made significant efforts and commitments to its surrounding communities to minimize the impact of aircraft noise through the NIP. To comply with commitments made to the San Francisco and San Mateo Counties, SFO must maintain the NIP by monitoring the noise impact area for potential shifts, identify additional properties eligible for noise insulation, and acquire perpetual avigation easements in exchange and on a continuous basis.
Currently, the NIP consists of three initiatives: Repair or Replacement Initiative (RRI), Second Chance Initiative (SCI), and Expanded Eligibility Initiative (EEI). These Initiatives provide improvements to eligible homes in the surrounding communities by installing sound treatments, such as wall and attic insulation, windows and door replacements, energy recovery ventilators, and other sound mitigation measures aimed to reduce noise levels within the residence.
Airport Substation Transformer Upgrade Project
The Project will install and upgrade the 12kV duct bank and cabling to Substation BA, including field verification and assessment of electrical infrastructure and equipment downstream of Substation BA, consistent with the Electrical Capacity Upgrade program.
