Ten Reasons not to Expand Mather
Questions for the Sac County BOS
Protect your property values! Stop the increasing noise!
You may not have noticed a lot of low flying aircraft over your homes lately, but if Sacramento County gets its way, you will.
Dozens of aircraft will be cruising over your community, day and night, making as much noise as a vacuum cleaner right next to your bed!
Sacramento County wants to expand Mather into an international cargo hub – and they’ve already drafted plans to start the upgrades. It’s not too late to stop the expansion, protect your property values and preserve the quality of life we all enjoy.
Affected areas include the Sacramento communities of:
Noise is bad for everyone. It interferes with sleep, it aggravates high-blood pressure, it causes irritability and loss of productivity, and it is implicated in mental-health problems. Jet noise makes it hard to carry on normal conversations in some of our most heavily impacted areas such as those areas beneath the approach path for Mather. Noise is harmful to children. People who live and work under aircraft noise are being hurt by it, especially children. Jet plane noise has been proven to cause permanent high blood pressure in kids. Classroom noise, especially from jet planes, has been proven over and over to cause severe learning problems. Cornell University, in particular, has been studying this problem for years. March 4, 1998, (find out more). The results are quite clear. Noise is bad for kids – at home, in the yard, at the park and at school. Study of German children living near airports shows jet aircraft noise impairs long-term memory and reading ability. Oct. 7, 2002 (find out more)El Dorado and Sacramento County residents care about noise. They want peace and quiet in their homes, gardens, parks, schools, businesses, hospitals and religious buildings. El Dorado and Sacramento County residents have consistently rejected claims by the SCAS: Sacramento County Airport System that noise only adversely affects those neighborhoods within a mile or two of the airport. Substantial noise problems exist as far away as Georgetown with inbound flights beginning as early as 3:00 am and coming in low and loud over the communities of Rescue, Shingle Springs, Cameron Park, El Dorado Hills and Folsom.Communities for a Responsible Mather Airport (CRMA) has been formed to support the City of Folsom, Sacramento County Supervisor Roberta MacGlashan, and the residents of all affected communities to put a halt to this half-baked scheme.
We invite you to tour this web site and add your name to our support list. You may not have signed on to live under the flight path of an international cargo hub, but you can sign on to fight it!
