All About the Airport Curfews

Information about the effectiveness of the two East Hampton Airport curfews imposed before last year’s summer season will be presented at Town Hall tomorrow at 10 a.m.

The curfews banned all takeoffs and landings from 11 p.m. to 7 a.m., and from 8 p.m. to 9 a.m. by aircraft deemed “noisy” under Federal Aviation Administration standards.

Len Bernard, the town’s budget officer, will discuss the financial impacts of the curfews; Peter Kirsch, a lawyer representing the town in aviation matters, will review the laws and provide an update on lawsuits by aviation interests; Michael Sendlenski, the town attorney, will discuss the curfew violations that occurred, and Ted Baldwin, a consultant with Harris Miller Miller and Hanson, will present his firm’s analysis of the data compiled on airport operations and curfew compliance.

On Tuesday at the Montauk Firehouse, the Army Corps of Engineers will present its final report and proposals regarding Lake Montauk. According to Town Supervisor Larry Cantwell, the agency is expected to present its recommendations regarding dredging of the Lake Montauk channel and future inlet dredging, the placement of dredge spoils, and the erosion occurring on shores to the west of the channel jetty. The meeting begins at 1 p.m.
