Are the airport administrators held accountable in any way? Not necessarily the administrators, but the airlines (and sometimes individual pilots) can be held responsible and fined if the noise complaint is due to a pilot not following th

Which is the point of an environmental assessment: to look at the benefits and cost to the environment and document the net result. This isn’t about declaring the project a hazard to the environment, this is skipping the process to determ
