E-NEW YORK - Sekuyiminyaka, amajezi endiza esuka eNewark Liberty International Airport enze isenzo somusa njengoba ebhonga eningizimu.
Imizuzwana ngemva kokusuka phansi, izindiza zihambile, zaphuma phezu kwesifunda sechweba lezimboni, futhi kude nemigwaqo yokuhlala yase-Elizabeth, NJ, idolobha labasebenzi elihlezi liqondane nesikhumulo sezindiza esimatasa.
Ukuqondisa izinto okufana nalokhu kuyindlela evamile yokugwema izakhamuzi emsindweni onyakazayo wendiza edlula phezulu.
Kepha manje imikhuba enjalo iyayehliswa kwezinye izindawo eNyakatho-mpumalanga njengengxenye yohlelo lwenhlangano yokunciphisa ukubambezeleka kwendiza okurekhodiwe. Kanti ezinye izindawo ezingomakhelwane ezisaba ukuthi zizobangwa omunye umsindo ziphindisela enkantolo.
NgoDisemba 19, i-Federal Aviation Administration yaqala ukulungisa kabusha emashumini eminyaka emizila yejethi enqamula indawo yezindiza egcwele kakhulu yezwe - indawo engu-31,000-square-miles ezungeze i-New York ne-Philadelphia.
Lo mhubhe sekuneminyaka ugxekwa njengenye yezindawo eziyinkinga kakhulu ohlelweni lwezindiza ezweni lonke. Izindlela eziningi zahlelwa ngawo-1960. Ezinye zisukela ezinsukwini zokuqala zokuhamba ngendiza, futhi izindiza bezikhononda iminyaka ngokuthi ziphelelwe yisikhathi ngendlela esabekayo.
Eminyakeni emihlanu ezayo, i-FAA izokhipha imizila emisha ekholelwa ukuthi inganciphisa ukubambezeleka kwendiza ngamaphesenti angama-20. Abanye ongoti bezokundiza bathi ukuthuthukiswa kubalulekile; cishe izingxenye ezintathu kwezine zakho konke ukubambezeleka kwendiza kuzwelonke kubangelwa amakhophi asenqolobaneni e-New York nase-Philadelphia.
Kodwa ukubhekisisa imizila yezindiza elungisiwe kukhombisa ukuthi izinguquko zizoholela emsindweni owengeziwe emashumini ezinkulungwane zabantu, abaningi babo asebebhekene nokuduma kwezinjini zamajethi ngenxa yokuba seduze kwazo nezikhumulo zezindiza.
E-Elizabeth, NJ, izinguquko zizosho ukuthi ezinye izindiza zizondiza ziqonde enkabeni yedolobha.
"Uhlelo lwe-FAA luzokwenza umonakalo omkhulu edolobheni lase-Elizabeth kunanoma yisiphi isigameko samaphekula," kusho iMeya uChris Bollwage.
“Sihlala eduze kwesikhumulo sezindiza, ngakho kufanele sibambe umsindo,” kusho yena. Kodwa uhlelo lwe-FAA, wengeza, lwelula ubuqotho. "Kunezindawo edolobheni lapho ungathinta khona amathayi."
Okungenani amacala ayi-12 asefakwe kuze kube manje ngomzamo wokumisa lolu hlelo. ICongress yayala iHhovisi Lokuphendula LikaHulumeni ukuthi lihlole indlela ye-FAA yokukhetha imizila emisha. Abenzi bomthetho abaphezulu abavela ezifundazweni ezimbalwa bafuna izinguquko. USenni Robert Menendez, DN.J., usabise ngokuvimba ukuqinisekiswa kweSenethi kwebamba likamlawuli we-FAA uRobert Sturgell uma i-ejensi ingakumisi ukusebenza.
Kuze kube manje, izikhalazo azikayimisi i-FAA. Ngenyanga edlule, i-ejensi yaqala ukufaka amaphethini amasha wethrafikhi ezikhumulweni zezindiza zaseNewark nasePhiladelphia ezivumela izindiza ezisukayo ukuthi ziphume ngezindlela eziningi lapho zikhuphuka, kunokuba zibambelele endleleni eyodwa.
Ngokombono, lolu shintsho luzovumela ukuhamba okwengeziwe ngehora, kodwa ngaphandle kwase-Philadelphia kuzophinde kusho izindiza eziningi phezu kweqoqo lamadolobha angaphansi kweDelaware County, entshonalanga nje yesikhumulo sezindiza.
Kusukela okokuqala kwaqala ukusebenza e-Philadelphia ngoDisemba 19, isikhumulo sezindiza sithe besithola izikhalazo ezintathu ngosuku mayelana nomsindo, uma kuqhathaniswa nesisodwa njalo ezinsukwini ezimbili ezinyangeni ezintathu ezedlule.
Izikhulu ze-FAA zithi ukwakhiwa kabusha kwendawo yomoya empeleni kuzoholela ekwehleni komsindo kubantu abaningi, ikakhulukazi ngoba izinguquko zizovumela izindiza ukuthi zindize ezindaweni eziphakeme.
Kodwa idatha yokufanisa umsindo ekhishwe yi-ejensi iveza ukuthi izinzuzo nokulahlekelwa ngeke kusatshalaliswe ngokulinganayo. Izindawo ezihlala ezinomsindo zizoba phezulu kakhulu, kanti ukuthuthukiswa okukhulu kuzoba ezindaweni ezingenawo umsindo ongaka kwasekuqaleni.
Ngokusho kwe-FAA, abantu abengeziwe abangama-30,600 bazozithola behlala ezindaweni lapho izinga lomsindo wendiza yansuku zonke lingama-decibel angama-60 kuye kwangama-65 - okubhekwa njengomkhawulo ophezulu wokubekezelelwa endaweni yokuhlala.
Umsindo kulelo zinga ukude nokuqhekeka izindlebe; ongoti bathi kuncane kunalokho okungase kubonwe abahlali uma bebehlala eduze komgwaqo ophithizelayo. Kodwa kunomsindo kangangokuthi abantu kufanele baphakamise amazwi abo njengoba indiza idlula phezulu.
Inani labantu abahlala ezindaweni lapho isilinganiso se-decibel siphakathi kuka-55 no-60 sizokhuphuka ngo-79,813 XNUMX.
Abalahlekelwe kakhulu kuzoba imiphakathi embalwa eduzane naseNewark naseFiladelphia esivele izwa okuningi kokuhamba kwezindiza ngenxa yokuba seduze kwayo nezikhumulo zezindiza. Kuzophinde kube nokwenyuka okuncane kuya kokumaphakathi komsindo ezingxenyeni zezifunda zaseMorris naseSussex enyakatho neNew Jersey.
Abaphumelele kakhulu ngabantu abahlala kude kancane, futhi manje abezwa umsindo ophakathi nendawo.
Ngo-2011, i-FAA ilinganisela ukuthi kuzoba nabantu abambalwa abacishe babe ngu-728,650 abahlala ezindaweni lapho izinga lomsindo wansuku zonke liphakathi kwama-decibel angu-45 no-55 - elinomsindo omkhulu kunokukhala kwesiqandisi, kodwa kuthule kunabantu ababili abakhuluma ekamelweni.
Abaningi balabo bantu basephaseji eligijima eningizimu-ntshonalanga ukusuka eNew Brunswick, NJ Kuzophinde kube nezinzuzo zomsindo emaphaketheni e-Essex County, NJ enabantu abaningi, ehlanganisa i-Newark, kanye nezingxenye ezisenyakatho-mpumalanga ye-Pennsylvania.
Ukuphikiswa akuveli nje ezindaweni okungenzeka kubonakale izinguquko ezinkulu.
Omasipala abayishumi nane entshonalanga ye-Connecticut bebelokhu bezama ukuthi uhlelo luvinjwe, ikakhulukazi ngoba luzoshintsha indlela yokufika ye-LaGuardia Airport yaseNew York iye empumalanga, nokudala lokho i-FAA ekushoyo kuzoba umsindo owengeziwe kwamanye amadolobha ase-Connecticut.
"Kuyinkinga yekhwalithi yempilo," kusho uRudy Marconi, umkhulumeli we-Alliance for Sensible Airspace Planning kanye nomuntu okhethiwe e-Ridgefield, Conn., Amakhilomitha angu-40 enyakatho-mpumalanga yeLaGuardia. “Ngizojwayela? Mhlawumbe. Kodwa kufanele ngijwayele?"
