Welcome to ORD-REST.  If you are viewing our site for the first time, we invite you to register with us so that you will be able to receive informational updates through periodic eblasts and also participate in our discussion forums.  (Please see our “LOG IN and REGISTER" at left.)  We want you to know there is much we CAN do as an organization to gain relief from the onslaught of increased air traffic over our heads.  Our mission is two-fold:

(1) Raise awareness within the communities affected by ongoing expansion at O’Hare.

(2) Advocate for meaningful policy change related to airport expansion and development.

For additional information, you’ll want to review our “Mission Update Statement” found on this Home Page and also our “About Us” tab – above.  The reality of what we are facing is complex, but can be distilled down to some simple facts.   The FAA has determined that, upon completion of O’Hare Modernization (OMP) in 2013,  roughly 64% of all daily flight operations (a day/night combination) will overfly the communities of Park Ridge, Edison Park, parts of Des Plaines, Niles and other far northwestern Chicago communities.  Right now, in 2009, roughly 27% of flights overfly this same area.  This means that flights will increase from approximately 900 flights per day to over 2000 flights per day.  Any increase over long established, residential communities is unacceptable and unconscionable.  

And flights over these areas will be lower and louder than ever before due to the positioning of the new runways - 9L-27R on the northern most edge of O'Hare, referred to by the FAA as the Belle Plaine runway, and the last runway that will be built at completion of the OMP in 2013, 9C-27C, referred to by the FAA as the Granville runway.  Both Belle Plaine and Granville are residential streets in Park Ridge - not runways.  The residents living within what will become three major landing paths - with the Kennedy Expressway on the south, Granville next, and Belle Plaine at the northern most edge, will be sandwiched in among three lanes of constant traffic and constant noise. 

So what can be done about this?  It’s important to note that we are pursuing reasonable, actionable changes in legislation governing airport growth and development.  We are all about fusing business with community sensitivities and environmental concerns. It’s also important that you understand that relief is possible.  Toward that end, we are focused on COURSE CORRECTION FOR O’HARE EXPANSION that includes the following:

1.       Establishment of new flight paths utilizing all available runways, in 2013, not just the east/west runways that fly up residential streets.

2.       Requing that no angle runways be decommissioned.  Certain angle runways that currently land and take off over industrial areas will be removed in 2013.

3.       Reduction in use of the new northern runway, (or any of the new proposed runways that overfly entirely residential communities) - 9L-27R, and 22R, to 9 am to  6 pm daily and establishment of the entire flight path (referred to by the FAA as the “Belle Plaine” corridor) as NOISE SENSITIVE.  It is possible for the FAA's flight specialists to "thread the needle" in designing flight paths.  And new technologies and operational procedures are being phased in that will support this type of precision flight.  (For a look at one type of process, called RNP, Required Navigational Procedure, view this link that follows:  http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-5284773282371819535

4.       A change in the monitoring standards for airport communities from DNL to SENEL.  Applying SENEL (single event noise monitoring exposure level) to 65 dB (decidbels) or less is a more accurate measurement of the reality of the noise as opposed to using today's standard of DNL (day/night averaging) of 65 dB – a standard noise measurement that AVERAGES exposure to daily noise across a 24 hour period.  The use of existing DNL methodology does not accurately reflect the reality of the exposure we are all experiencing - nor does it completely address the associated health risks.

5.       Advocating  for passage of HB322, a bill pending in the House Environmental Health Committee of the Illinois General Assembly that would sponsor a new Environmental Impact Study (EIS) for O’Hare.  You can read more about this in the articles that follow.  Did you know that jet aircraft emissions are not studied in the EIS for O’Hare?  The reason?  The EPA does not require that jet aircraft, or emissions from ground transportation vehicles, be included in the impact statement for any airport development.  This is unconscionalbe and MUST change.  We must fully understand the risks to our health and our environment.  We must engage a new standard that addresses that reality.  The EIS that supports O'Hare was conducted based on predictive modeling only with no accounting for real data.  In fact, any real data are not required until after the completion of the OMP in 2013.  A new EIS is not only scientifically critical - it's morally essential.

6.      Attending regular meetings with elected government officials including Town Hall style meetings within specific communities and monthly meetings with the FAA and ONCC leadership.

The next public meeting of the O'Hare Noise Compatibility Commission (ONCC) meeting is at 8:00 am, Friday, September 11th,2009 at Rosewood Banquets, 9421 West Higgins Road, Rosemont, IL.  This is YOUR chance to express your concerns, openly, publicly.  

The ONCC is comprised of elected officials from the communities surrounding the airport.  Its membership also includes the superintendents of most of the public schools in these same communities, the FAA and the Chicago Department of Aviation.  It is CRITICALLY important that your voice is heard.  Please plan on attending this meeting.  And please craft a question that you believe is most important to you.  When you enter the meeting, you’ll be asked to fill out a form with that question.  Fill it out!  Make your voice heard.

One other key way you can make your voice heard is to call the ONCC hotline number EACH time the noise from jet aircraft bothers you.  Just dial 1-800-435-9569 or 311 if you live in Chicago.  Please remember that the people taking your call are merely logging your complaint.  Be patient.  Your call counts.  And for a commission such as the ONCC, charged with MITIGATING concerns from the public, increasing calls from citizens remind theim of their responsibility to serve the needs of the people.  And for the FAA and city of Chicago Department of Aviation - increasing calls put them in an uncomfortable position.  Think about it.  This is a commission that is supposed to be working to meet the concerns of airport communities.  Increasing calls would suggest they're not succeeding in their jobs - certainly not where the public is concerned.  If you stop calling, they're going to assume all is well.  Don't let that happen.  Keep calling!  Your voice, like vote, counts!  Use it!

And of course, we’d like to hear from you!  Please let us know your questions, concerns or comments.  Just send us an email at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

April 1, 2009—ORD-REST, O’Hare Residents for Environmental Safety & Trust, is an all volunteer group pursuing a new path to better environmental standards and quality of life in the communities surrounding Chicago O’Hare International Airport.  Formed as the result of effects from O’Hare expansion, we are committed to serving as an information forum for community concerns and as a conduit for creating reasonable, actionable changes in current environmental and legislative standards governing air traffic growth and development.  Over 1 million people live in the long established communities bordering or in close relative proximity to O’Hare and are directly affected by its expansion. 

We have concluded that the Environmental Impact Study (EIS) conducted from 1999 – 2002 for O’Hare expansion is flawed and incomplete.  It did not require study and presentation of actual noise and emissions data, relying on predictive modeling to support its case.  It also did not study or require inclusion of jet aircraft emissions, because the EPA, as director of study content, does not regulate jet aircraft emissions.  While the EPA does regulate automobile engines, it did not require airport ground transportation vehicles be included in this EIS.  Because the Chicagoland region is classified by the EPA as a non-attainment area, the region is exempt from having to achieve federally mandated acceptability levels for emissions.  This must change.  Aircraft emissions, combined with general emissions levels in the region, must be fully understood and regulated.  Anything less is morally unacceptable. 

There is no noise abatement procedure in place for O’Hare.  Noise abatement procedures exist at hundreds of airports across the country to reduce the amount of noise pollution in the surrounding residential areas. O’Hare must adopt a similar policy, suitable to community needs and the airport. 

Fusing aviation growth and development with responsibility to environmental and community sensitivities is core to our mission and has yet to be accomplished for the O’Hare region.  We believe that environmental instability dooms economic stability.  What is unknown and what goes unaddressed will wreak havoc in the future.  This one issue is that big.

Continued expansion at O’Hare includes new runways and the demolishing of existing runways.  This is designed to increase air traffic flow and capacity in the sky over our heads.  Upon completion, there will be six east/west runways; three used primarily for landing and three used for takeoffs, allowing operations at intervals of 30 seconds at times, at all hours of the day and night.  In the increasingly complex world of aviation, new technologies are emerging that will allow for even greater levels of air traffic flow, by creating many flight paths merging into each available runway. We must insist on a full accounting of these new technologies and we must develop better standards for implementation into airports where communities have long existed and where there is no land for expansion – only sky.

The prevailing notion of airport growth as a main economic driver for a region is flawed when that growth encroaches on long existing communities and results in economic and health sacrifices from the people on the ground.  The sacrifices these communities are being required to make are more than anyone should have to endure.  We believe that the increasing air traffic resulting from additional runways at O’Hare is in fact encroaching on our established communities in a way that may require financial consideration for the loss incurred by the people residing in areas surrounding the airport.

Politically neutral, we welcome involvement from all of our elected officials and are thankful to those who have stepped up and supported our efforts to date.

State Representative Rosemary Mulligan (R-Des Plaines), has sponsored HB322, a bill seeking funding for a new Environmental Impact Study (EIS).  We are proponents of this bill and have testified twice, in March 2009, before the House Environmental Health Committee of the Illinois General Assembly. We believe that by funding the study, Illinois will lead the nation to a new, better definition of standards applied to responsible airport growth and development.  The bill is currently in subcommittee status and a public hearing has been scheduled for Friday, April 17th, Park Ridge City Hall, 12 noon to 3 pm.

State Senator Dan Kotowski (D-Park Ridge), has secured three air quality monitors to be installed by the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency to monitor the air quality near O’Hare, providing an opportunity to further assess air quality issues associated with the expansion of the airport.  He is organizing a meeting, to occur sometime in the next several weeks, with Congresswoman Jan Schakowsky (D-IL), the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the Illinois Environmental Protection Administration (EPA), and the City of Chicago Department of Aviation.

Thank you for your ongoing support.  Please be sure to register and join in our online discussion forums.  And please don’t forget:  Call the O’Hare Noise Compatibility Commission (ONCC) hotline at 1.800.435.9569 any time of the day or night, to register a complaint about air traffic noise.  Make your voice heard over the roar!   Thank you from all of us at ORD-REST.

An Update on HB322 – Environmental Health Study for O’Hare PDF Print E-mail
Written by Administrator   
Monday, 16 March 2009 12:48

ORD-REST thanks you for your support of HB322 and our efforts to move it out of the Environmental Health Committee and onto the floor of the Illinois General Assembly.  The bill has been sent into sub-committee status and the next step is the Public Hearing, now scheduled for Friday, April 17th at the Park Ridge City Hall from 12 noon until 3 pm.   We will need everyone’s participation in this meeting – and are looking forward to being able to present even more compelling evidence at that time. 

ORD-REST also thanks you for all of your efforts in communicating with legislators in Springfield and elsewhere.  Your emails were noticed.  Also, for those of you who took on canvassing or who signed petitions, we want you to know that those petitions were hand-delivered to the committee and entered into the record of the proceedings.  Thank you for your passionate commitment to regaining our quality of life and holding government accountable to its actions.

Here is the second of our presentations, given before the Environmental Health Committee in Springfield, IL, by Christine Kutt Zolt of ORD-REST, on Thursday, March 12, 2009.

“Good afternoon Members of the House Environmental Health Committee.   Thank you for the opportunity to address you again.   Submitted here, are answers to your concerns regarding funding and the necessity for a new environmental impact study.  We are providing you with a simple outline of our concerns, related to the EIS used to justify O’Hare expansion.

ORD-REST again respectfully requests the committee vote “YES” to HB322.  Please move this important bill out of committee and on to the floor of the General Assembly to set a groundbreaking new standard for inclusion of true facts of science applied to projects in the public domain. 

There’s a prevailing notion in the country today that a big airport development project, like O’Hare, will single-handedly solve all of our financial woes and fix our air traffic problems at the same time.  O’Hare is vital and it is important - but it’s not the ultimate redeemer of all things economic or operational that many would have us believe.  The economics cannot be more important than the people.

Instead, what’s really needed for Illinois and the rest of the nation is a commitment to the creation of a new standard of business development, one that fuses business with environmental and community sensitivity.  It’s time to abandon past assumptions that environmental issues only slow down business growth when just the opposite is true.  Careful inclusion of environmental issues directs a higher and better level of business growth, reducing wasteful spending.

The EIS process that supported modernization for Chicago O’Hare International Airport, is flawed and antiquated.  Environmental conclusions were based on predictive modeling, not on actual data on emissions and pollutants.  In our opinion, it is critically lacking in contemporary application of science. 

We must fully account for the realities of the risk.  Consider this.  According to NASA, nitrogen oxide and carbon dioxide have the most significant impact on the environment when present in the combustion of aircraft fuel.  Carbon dioxide impacts global air quality by contributing to ozone loss.  And yet the EIS for O’Hare didn’t study carbon dioxide emissions from jet aircraft because jet aircraft emissions are not regulated by the EPA.  And the EPA directs EIS study content only on what it regulates.  While the EPA regulates automobile emissions, it doesn’t require inclusion of these regulations in a study of airport emissions.

So, one of the most deadly known carcinogens, abundantly present in the primary and secondary functions of an urban airport, is not accounted for in the study that is supposed to protect the health of millions of people.

Who will pay for the health costs long term?  Who will be healthy enough to work in this environment?  Responsible business should not sacrifice workers and citizens.   This only escalates costs and negates benefits.  Where is the good business in all of this? 

New, actual decibel readings, just released for the O’Hare noise contour, are four times higher than predicted in the EIS. These facts further negate the validity of the study itself.  What other modeled evaluations will also be proven DEFICIENT – and costly in the turnaround?

The FAA has long-range plans, 20 years out, to significantly expand multiple existing airports across the country.  Under standards applied to O’Hare expansion, the future looks bleak for our fellow Americans.

By funding this environmental study, Illinois will lead the nation to a new, better definition of standards applied to responsible airport growth and development - standards based on a true fusion of business, environmental and community sensitivities. 

What is the cost of conducting a new Environmental Impact Study?  What is the cost if we don’t?  Environmental instability dooms economic stability.  This one issue is that big.

The question becomes:  Can business be more important than the people?

We would like to also ask the City of Chicago and the FAA to support this bill and the study it will fund, as it will realign with the new realities of our environment and allow the City to maintain and grow their green initiatives.

With contemporary application of science, comes contemporary application of law.  And that is what is now in your hands to create. 

A new environmental study will define our responsibility, and yours is an awesome responsibility at this moment in time!  And please, make this an awe-inspiring moment in Illinois history to create a vital economy and stable environment for the future.

Please vote YES to HB322. 

Thank you.”

ORD-REST Supports Funding of Independent EIS Study for Illinois PDF Print E-mail
Written by Administrator   
Friday, 27 February 2009 19:30

We are posting in its entirety below, a presentation made on February 26, 2009 by Christine Kutt Zolt, to the House Environmental Health Committee of the Illinois General Assembly in support of HB322, sponsored by Representative Rosemary Mulligan.  The bill requests funding for an independent Environmental Impact Study to be conducted in the regions of Illinois affected by airport growth and development.  You can read a summary of the bill and obtain more information by clicking on the link that follows:  http://www.ilga.gov/legislation/BillStatus.asp?DocNum=322&GAID=10&DocTypeID=HB&LegId=40483&SessionID=76&GA=96 

There are 14 Environmental Health Committee members; 12 voted yesterday.  The vote was split, 6/6, and the bill remains in committee.   While it did not move out of committee yesterday, it did not die. And here’s where you can help.  You can let all of your elected officials – city, state and federal – know that you want an independent environmental analysis conducted on the effects of noise and aircraft pollution in the communities surrounding airports.  Make your voice heard over the roar! 

We want to thank Representative Mulligan and the City of Park Ridge for supporting us in the presentation that follows:

 

 

 “Good afternoon to representatives from across this great State and members of the Environmental Health Committee.  I thank you for this opportunity to speak to you regarding the negative impact of air pollution, noise pollution and emission of gases and fluids from aircraft that are impacting the communities surrounding our airports.   My name is Christine Kutt.  I have lived my entire life in Illinois, Cook County, Chicago, Arlington Heights, and Park Ridge.  I am currently speaking on behalf of a grass roots organization – ORD-REST, O’Hare Residents for Environmental Safety and Trust.   Hundreds of residents from communities around O’Hare have banded together, in ORD-REST, to understand how the O’Hare Modernization Program will affect our lives now and in years to come.

Since the opening of Runway 9L/27R on November 20th, 2008, the environmental effects of air traffic have become top of mind for hundreds of thousands of citizens who are more than just concerned – we are frightened -  by the environmental impact that OMP has had and will have in the future. As a spokesperson for these citizens I am here to persuade you to move H.B. 0322 through committee and onto the floor of the General Assembly in urgent fashion.  I would like to use the word – DEMAND.  The citizens of your state DEMAND that our government move immediately to understand our regional environment – so you as our public servants can do your job to protect us. 

We are threatened.  Our health is threatened and our natural environmental is threatened.  Scores of communities near airports – O’Hare AND Midway – and the hundreds of thousands of residents living in these towns, villages and cities – UNDER THE ROAR - need to understand the true facts involving air, noise and water quality that are attacking our health.

Certainly your thoughts must be drifting to the Environmental Impact Study prepared by the FAA in advance of the approval of the OMP.  The EIS is a huge report.  It is a 20,000 plus page document that resides on 37 discs. The cure for cancer could be present in this report and we would be unable to uncover it. 

More than any potentially positive information that may be hidden in these 20,000 pages, the report has already proven itself to be flawed.  At the meeting of the Technical Committee of the O’Hare Noise Compatibility Commission this past Tuesday, February 24th, the City of Chicago and the Department of Aviation reported significant discrepancies contrary to predicted noise levels and placement of the O’Hare noise contour as outlined in the EIS.  The levels modeled and predicted by the EIS are already being blown out of the water as noise levels are exceeding an AVERAGE of 85 db on HUNDREDS and hundreds of flights DAILY.  The current data completely invalidate the modeling used by the FAA in preparing the EIS. 

Our group of educated, professional people has collected scores of reports from around the country and we have been lead to understand the important nature of the impact of the environment being imposed on citizens everywhere who are living near expanding airports.   Most residents living near airports in the state of Illinois have learned to live with the noise.    But in a culture where protecting the environment and Americans are encouraged to proactively lead healthier lives, airport growth and the pollution created by this growth seems out of sync with the demands of the citizens.

 The next environmental study is not scheduled until after the OMP is completed – in 2014 or at some point in the distant future.  The impact of the new runways, north, south and center – is already our reality – every day.  Day after day.   Hundreds and hundreds of times each day. 

Points of interest to the adults and children I speak on behalf of include: 

In Park Ridge ALONE, current flight paths cross directly over five elementary schools and are pointed at a top-ranked high school hundreds and hundreds of times daily.From a report conducted by the Seattle Tacoma Regional Coalition on Airport Affairs it was proven that, and I quote:  “Standardized test scores in the Highline school district had fallen from among the highest in the state to the third from the bottom.” 

We need to know:

”How does the on-going noise and air pollution affect the learning ability of children in any school near an airport in the State of Illinois? Jet aircraft emit carbon dioxide which can last in the atmosphere up to 100 years. 

 At top-ranked Maine South High School in Park Ridge, aircraft are flying above the athletic fields at roughly 1,000 feet.

We need to know:

How will the students on these fields be affected by this noise and air pollution?How will this decline in our children’s potential affect them and the community where they live? 

We breathe 1,000 times per hour:

According to NASA, nitrogen oxide and carbon dioxide have the most significant impact on the environment when present in the combustion of aircraft fuel.Carbon dioxide impacts global air quality by contributing to ozone loss.

We need to know:

How much nitrogen oxide and carbon dioxide are released when aircraft are descending or taking off?  At what levels do these chemicals dissipate into the air?What residual effects do these chemical have on people in the path of these pollutants?

I’d like to quote a citizen who attended a recent meeting of the O’Hare Noise Compatibility Commission: 

“It’s like getting jolted with electricity 300 times a day.”

Again, from the RCAA study at Seattle Tacoma, it has been proven that “airport communities have higher rates of alcoholism and admission to psychiatric hospitals.Excessive noise has been associated with development of hypertension, high cholesterol and high blood sugar – and puts them in greater risk of heart disease.Airport noise causes difficulty in sleeping leading to lethargy, impaired reaction time, fatigue, decreased efficiency and a desire to be left alone.People do NOT adjust to airport noise.  Even five years after exposure, physical responses such as high blood pressure and stress levels continue.”And the list goes on… 

We need to know:

What are the effects of Illinois airports on our health?

How will ill health affect the insurability of our citizens? 

As far as the environment is concerned, we must remember that northeast Illinois sits on roughly 1/5th of the world’s fresh water supply. 

Let’s take a moment to allow that to sink in:  20% of the entire world’s fresh water supply.I don’t have time to touch on the numbers of species of flora and fauna that are also affected by these pollutants.  We’ll just leave you to contemplate our responsibility to human beings. 

We need to know:

What effect do airport pollutants have on the entire world?

What responsibility do we as citizens of the State of Illinois have to protect the fresh water supply for our residents, neighbors, and fellow human beings? 

To these facts and questions we must implore you to move this bill through to allow us to gain the answers to important health and environmental questions.  It would be unconscionable to choose NOT to take this crucial step now, as these pollutants compromise the fundamental rights as Americans to pursue our lives, our liberty and happiness.   Representative Mulligan, I thank you for your introduction of this bill to this esteemed committee, your noble effort to protect your constituents and for the opportunity to present these thoughts to all of you today. 

I thank you in advance for your support.”

Why a New Environmental Impact Study is Needed for O'Hare PDF Print E-mail
Written by Administrator   
Tuesday, 17 March 2009 20:48

The following brief outline was presented to the Environmental Health Committee of the Illinois General Assembly on March 12, 2009, along with the presentation given by Christine Kutt Zolt of ORD-REST.  We are posting this to our website to encourage discussion in advance of the Public Hearing to be held on behalf of HB322, in Park Ridge at City Hall on Friday, April 17, 2009, from 12 noon until 3 pm.  For more information, see the Event tab on this website.

 

The current EIS relied on predictive modeling for noise and emissions.

The current study doesn’t require evaluation of actual levels of noise and emissions data.

Inaccurate conclusions were reached based on predictive models.

Actual noise levels are well above 85 decibels on hundreds and hundreds of flights each day. (From the February 24, 2009 Technical Meeting of the O’Hare Noise Compatibility Commission.)  Current noise readings are not even close to predicted models. Day/night averaging (DNL) does not accurately reflect the true impact on the community.Predictive models were used on air quality.  Actual air quality is unknown at this time. 

Noise Contour data are inaccurate.

EIS modeling failed to predict the reality of current noise data levels.  Actual noise decibel levels are 4 times or greater than predicted.The Noise Contour won’t be updated until 2013.The EPA requires regulation when levels are too high.  The actual spread of the contour needs to be applied.  Five years is too long to wait due to the associated health risk.

Modeling used in the current EIS supports only the finalized, completed O’Hare Modernization Plan (OMP).

Actual levels of noise and emissions not accurately reflected today, during construction.Even at completion in 2014, data will still only reflect predicted levels. 

Severe health risks from known carcinogens need to be studied and are not included in the current EIS.

Carbon dioxide emissions from jet aircraft are not studied in the EIS because these are not regulated by the EPA.The EPA requires study content only on what it regulates.Carbon dioxide emissions from airport ground transportation are not included in the EIS because the EIS didn’t require inclusion.Carbon dioxide emissions are known carcinogens, and spread out into areas at great distances from the airport.An emissions contour needs to be established for carbon dioxide emissions.

An Environmental Impact Study is supposed to assess the true impact of expansion on the surrounding community.

Current known noise level readings invalidate the predictive modeling that was used.The region is at high risk for health as a result.The EPA mandates regulation when metrics show severe risk to health.True, actual data need to be applied to evaluate risk to health.Conclusions reached on airport impact and risk to the community were wrong, which invalidates the EIS.Actual measured air quality needs to be studied and reported. 

West end operations were not studied in the EIS.

Takeoffs over the industrial corridor to the west, from 9L-27R, were not measured.Noise and emissions were not studied, leaving all of Du Page County out of the analysis.

The current EIS report is old and contains conclusions that are now inaccurate.

Begun 10 years ago in 1999, it was completed 7 years ago.There is no permanent and comprehensive monitoring system for air toxins around O’Hare and in impacted communities.
