What about airports that have had federal assistance in their noise mitigation efforts?

Those efforts are mainly for airports with residences that lie within an area of very high noise levels as delineated by the airport's noise contours. Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport does not have a significant number of residences (if any) in this area, and the projected noise contours for the airport over the next 20 years show a decrease in noise contour lines due to quieter aircraft being produced. Airports that experience a classification change may also have their noise contours modified. Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport is, and always has been, a "reliever” for Denver International Airport, and the master plan does not include changes to this status.
