§284g Cooperation of government agencies

Summary

The Secretary must work with other federal, state, and local agencies, including the FAA, to protect the park from too much noise, air pollution, and damage to its appearance. The Secretary will watch noise along the Dulles road corridor (including the airport access and toll roads). After talking with the FAA Administrator, if the Secretary finds the noise is above the standards set elsewhere in the law, the Secretary must tell the FAA, the Commonwealth of Virginia, and the proper congressional committees. The FAA Administrator then has 60 days to take steps to bring the noise down to those standards. If Virginia violates the easement tied to those standards, the Secretary or the Foundation may go to the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia to stop the violation.
