This map combines noise contour dain and “accident potential zones” (APZS) 1o determine land use compatiblity, tnd isan important part of propriate land use planning. APZs are ress where an ccident is ‘most likely to oscurif one were to occur ~ they are not predictors of accidents, but rather a tool {o understand risks and best protect public safety. ‘The Navy recommends that development of certain land uses that eoncenrate lenge numbers of people, suchas dense residential tract and schools, be avoided in the APZS. [As | understand the proposed project, a portion of the new school would be within the [APZ I footpriat andthe entre school complex would experience exposure to irra noise. “This is due tothe specific Might path requited to access existing runways at NOLF Caen, sireraft operations cannot be altered inthis regard.
