Title: A Balanced Approach - A Lawyer's Viewpoint
text: Laws controlling noise and the role of various local, state and federal agencies must be balanced against their respective interests, limitations of technology and environmental goals. Past attempts to control noise sustain the need for a balanced approach. The interest of obtaining realistic, uniform standards which are enforced by realistic, uniform procedures will advance the cause of noise control. Inconsistent standards and enforcement procedures will only impede effective noise control.
