Denver International Airport still owes Adams County, and several cities within the county, $33.5 million for noise violations that impacted nearby neighborhoods, the Colorado Court of Appeals ruled on Thursday.
Noise impacts from DIA have been the subject of numerous legal challenges against the airport. Adams County has argued that Denver agreed to measure and minimize aircraft noise as part of its 1980s annexation of land in the county to build the 53-square-mile facility.
DIA has countered in court that it had already given Adams County and its cities $40 million in excessive noise payments, dating from the airport’s February 1995 opening through 2011. Those payments, DIA said in a filing it submitted to the court in 2019, were based on the airport’s same noise modeling system that was at issue in the latest trial.
Adams County and its cities were fully aware of the system the airport was using during the years they were collecting millions in noise levies, DIA asserted. Airport officials alleged that as aviation technology has advanced and planes have become quieter, the municipalities feared that money would dry up — precipitating the 2018 litigation.
