Port of Oakland is transferring noise from departing aircraft during the nighttime hours of 2200 to 0600 to Oakland neighborhoods. Aircraft go around Alameda and head for Oakland and San Leandro. They also transfer large passenger and cargo aircraft noise be having them fly over San Leandro neighborhoods and land on the North Field. The North Field supports the South Field arrivals and departures. The Quiet Hours program and the departure programs on the South Field at night transfer noise around Alameda to other Bay Area Cities and areas. This noise transfer is illegal and terribly unfair to the residents of the East Bay. Adding more flights and capacity on the South field moves the noise and pollution to the residents in the immediate area and also transfers the noise and pollution to underserved minorities in Oakland and other East Bay cities. The Quiet Hours program as written by the Port of Oakland, is a noise and pollution transfer. The Instrument departures for the South Field, as adopted by the FAA, is also a noise and pollution transfer to minority and underserved residents in the East Bay.
