FE$RUARY 10, '1999
The regular meeting of the Mendota Heights Airpor't Relations Commission was held on
Wednesday, February 10, 1999 in the City Hall Large Conference Room, 1101 Victoria
Curve. The me�ting was called to order at 7:00 p.m. The foilowing members were
present: Beaty, Leuman, Des Roches, Stein and Roszak. Commissioners May and
Fitzer were excused. Also present were City Administrator Kevin Batchelder,
Administrative Assistant Patricic Hollister and Senior Secretary Kim Blaeser.
PRESENTATION:
Mr. Roy Fuhrmann
Mr. Roy Fuhrmann, Manager ofi MAC's Aviation Noisz Program was present to
discuss the development of specifcations for investigating the usz of Global
Positioning Satellites (GPS) and how the use ofi GPS may enhance the use of
the Southeast Corridor for the benefi�t of the Mendota Heights community.
Fuhrmann was also present to discuss other areas of interest including Non-
Simultaneous Departure compliance and the evaluation ofi the Southeast
Corridor.
Mr. Fuhrmann introduced the following individuals present to discuss the above
issues. Mr. Shane Vandervoort, ANOMs Technician Aviation Noisz and Satellite
Programs; Mr. Nathan Reis, T1N/GIS Systems Technician Aviation Nois� and
Satellite Programs; and Mr. Chad Leqve, ANOMS Coordinator Aviation Noise
and Satellite Proarams.
Ntr. Fuhrmann explaine� that Differential Global Positioning Satellites (DGPS)
provides precise positional capabilities, previously only available.with land based
navaids. Fuhrmann explained that the FAA is currently writing specifications for
how GPS augmented systems �vill be used in the future. He informed the
Commission that other airpors as well as MSP communities will have a one time
opportunity to contribute to the implementation of this new technology. He
st�ted thGt the FAA is pursuing an Gcrive paricipation in Girspac� design rdther
than proposing posi implementation modiT�cations.
In respons� to a ques�ion from Commissioner P,oszak, N1r. Fuhrmann stated that
public input will be allotived until the end of the yeGr (1999). Chair Beaty stated
that one interest th�t the Airpor� P.e!ations Commission has is to narro��v ihe
EagGn/Mendota Heights Corridor. Ne state� that we cannot help to think that
with the GPS system, the corridor will be narrowed and that most air traffic will
occur over the industrial area. Mr. Fuhrmann briefly explained how the land �'
base navigational aids work. Fuhrmann explaine� that GPS will help aircraft �
navigate to a specific location not only using longitude and latitude positioning
but also altitude positioning. He stated that GPS is base� on specific points in
space and that the localizer (used now) will be uscd as a bacl�up.
Chair Beaty inquire� when GPS wiil be implemented. Fuhrmann responde� that
he is unsure but that within the next three to five years, major air carriers will be
converting their aircraft to GPS. Fuhrmann siated that new aircrafts are fitted
with the GPS system but that the on board avionics are not developed.
Commissioner Roszak inquired about the southern boundary and how the .
northwest beacon will dictate the southern boundary. Fuhrmann explained that
this beacon helps define the southern boundary and that ihe aircraft still follow
the tower's direction. Roszak stated that with implementation of the GPS, the
whole corridor could move further south. Chair Beaty stated that the FAA should
agree to shrinking the corridor. He stated thai airplanes can be move� further
south ofi the Mendota He�ghts water iower and stiil implement safe flying
conditions. Fuhrmann state� that this may be an uphill battle. He stated this
may be possible and that the FAA will need to look ai PRM (air borne
infiormation). He stated that the FAA ne�ds to look at the different ways an
airplane can look at their own latefal spacing.
�.
Administrator Batchelder discussed the operation of the runways and how ihe
control tower develops a pattern of departing aircraft. He inquired ifi GPS is fully
implemented, will a 15 degree separation still be required. Mr. Fuhrmann
responded that he is unsure and that is why the study is necessary. Chair Be�ty
informed Mr. Fuhrmann that the City would like to see the FAA shrink the
Mendota Heights/Eagan corridor. He stated that the Ciiy is particularly affected
by departures and that by shrinking the corridor, the departures will be directed
more over industrial/commercial areas.
The Commission discussed their concern with the GPS and the possibility that it
will allow aircraft to be directed over more residential areas. They stated that
most arriving aircraft is coming straight in and that it is paramount that the FAA
keep the final approach the way it is now. Mr. Fuhrmann responded thai aircraft
should be kept over compatible areus and that is the purpos2 of GPS.
Mr. Fuhrmann stated that the FFY1 wants to he�r from N1SP communities and
thGt it is their hope that thesc communities provide them tivith their specific "wish
list" on how GPS will be implemenzed.
P,dministrator Baichelder inquired if there will be a soecific corridor, similar to that �
of the Nlendota Heights/EGgGn Corridor, with the construction of the norh/south
runway. Mr. Fuhrmann responded that nothing has been finalized but that the
thought might be down the Cedar Avenue area where there is
industrial/commerciai development. He staied that this new runway wili benefit
Mendota Heights and wiii relieve the tra�c off of the two paralle! runways.
Fuhrmann stated that there is a poientia! of developing a specific flight trac� with
the new runway and that it is being revie�Ne� at this time.
The Commission inquired when the MASAC will be reviewing the implementation
of GPS ai MSP. Fuhrmann responded this spring.
Mr. Chad Leqve presented an Analysis on Crossing in the Corridor.
Mr. Leqve discussed ihe scape of the analysis:
Data Sample Time Periods
Six month sample period - October 1997 to March 1998
Daily hours of conceniration - 2300 to 2600
Weekend hours of consideration - Sat. 1500 to Sun 1300
When Did Crossing Occur
Determine when carrier jei operaiions crossed when departing 12L and
12R during the above time period.
Ops. Feasibility Variables
Nighttime one local controller assumption
Assess the existence of one local controller during the above weekend
period.
Time between departures (2 min. scpGration feasibility).
FAA input
Weather
(vir. Leqve reviewed the major findings of zhe perormed analysis:
During the six month period from 2300 to 0600 there were 990 carrier jet
departures from runwGy 12L and 12R.
There were 357 (30.1 %) carrier jet deparure operGiions which perormed the
crossing procedure when deparing runwGys 12L �nd 12R during the six month
period be�tween 2300 �nd 0600.
During tne six month period from 2300 to C600 the times be�,vesn depGr�ure
operGtions �vere prevalen� in the 0 to 2 min. rGnge ��iith an overall perc�nt oT
12.5%, in the 10 min. to 30 min. range with an overail percent of 18.9% and in
the 1 hr. to 7 hrs. range with an overall percent of 19.6% �
During the six month period on weekends from Saturday at 1500 to Sunday at
1300 there were 3734 carrier jet departures from runway 121 and 12R.
There were 643 (17.2%) carrier jei departure operations which performed the
crossing procedure when departing runways �2L and 12R during the six month
period on we�kends from Saturday at 1500 to Sunday at 1300.
During the 572 hours of analyzed weekend time one local controiler was on duty
for 416.4 (72.8%) hours.
During the 416.4 hours of one local controlier during the mentioned we�kend
periods there were 1432 carrier jet de�arture operations.
There were 419 (29.3%) carrier jet departure operations which performed the
crossing procedure when one local controller was on duty during the mentioned
weekend periods.
During the mentioned we�kend periods the times beiweAn departure operations
were prevale�t in the 0 to 2 min. range with an overall percent ofi 57.4% and in
the 2 min. to 4 min. range with an overall percent ofi 22.2%. �
One of the single biggest impediments to the procedure during the analyzed
weekend periods was the time separation beiweAn departure operations.
The weaiher for the period wGs variable with thunderstorms prevailing during
October 1997 and late in March 1998 with snowstorms, and freszing rain present
in January 1998.
Regarding the required two minute szparation of aircraft, the Commission
discussed how the FAA was willing to educate its controi tower personnel on
how this process works and that there has be�n a big direrence.
Chair Beaty inquired if with the new north/sauth runway, if the crossing
procedure will be used mor�. Mr. FuhrmGnn responded that the new runway will
be use� for depaRures Gnd there may be G possibility.
The Commission discusscd he: d to head operations and the usz of P.unway
�/22. Mr. Fuhrmann stGted that there is a possibility that Runv+iay d/22 could be
us�d for arrivals.
Nlr. Leqve reviewed the ne:� s'teps Gi�er the analysis findings: (�;
FAA Initiatives
As a resuit of the study findings, the FAA is making adjustments to
improve the use of procedure.
FAA and MAC Communication
FAA requested MAC staff to ke�p them informed with regard to the status
ofi procedural use.
Foilow-Up Analysis
The analysis will be replicated using data from the six montlis spanning
September 1998 to February 1999 to assess the improvement.
Regarding the above, Mr. Fuhrmann stated thai with the results of the above
analysis, the Tower Chief personally briefed each traffic controller about the FAA
procedures and that there has a be�n a loi of improvement. Chair Beaty stated
that he gives the FAA a lot of credit with coming up wiih specific criteria. He
stated that four years ago, this would not have happened and that the
environment szems more friendly now.
CommissionEr Roszak stated that the Airport Relations Commission wants to
see equitable distribution and that all factors be researched.
Mr. Fuhrmann briefly reviewed the runway reconstruction taking place this
summer.
Jill Smith, ad-hoc member of the Airport Relations Commission, arrived at 8:28
p.m.
The Commission discussed the use of Runway 4/22 during the construction
process. Mr. Fuhrmann noted that there will be more usable runway length
available. He explained that sequencing will be an issue this year.
Mr. Fuhrmann briefly re��ie�Ned the cost of the reconstruction proc�ss. He
explained that this reconstruction process is �� million dollars more than last
year because there is a sink hole in the runway and that it will ne�d to be built
back up again. Fuhrmann explained tha� the construciion proc�ss will be in late
Ntarch and run through Labor Day we�kEnd (105 working dGys).
The Commission discusscd how aircraf't will be dis�ributed during the
construction process. FuhrmGnn responded that it will depend upon the size of
the aircr�ft.
The Commission thanlced Mr. Fuhrmann for attending their meeting.

UPD�4TE DISCUSSION
Administrator Batchelder stated that in October, MASAC discussed the Ground
Noise Study conducted by MAC staff, and it was suggested that Northwest
Airiines' test cell site was possibly contributing to the noise environment and
might be the source of unidentified ground noise that residents were complaining
about. He informed the Commission that fhis complaint was addressed at both
the December 11 and January 15 MASAC Operations Committee meeting. He
informed the Commission that the bottom line to this discussion is that the test
cell site is located inside a building. It was mentioned that maybe the ground
noise is coming from airplanes running their engines during taxi operations.

Election of Ma�or Mertensotto as
Chair of MASAC
Administrator Batchelder informed the Commission that Mayor Merkensotto was
elected as Chair of MASAC, for a two year term, beginning in February 1999.
He explained that Mayor Mertensotto will Chair all MASAC meetings and appoint
the members of the MASAC Operations Committee and the MASAC Executive
Committee. Batchelder explained that this action came about primariiy because
there was a sirong desire by the community representatives on MASAC to have
a community repcesentative as the Chair. He further stated that this is also
indicative of the respect for the Mayor's knowledge and exper�ise on the airport
issues, �s well as, his �bility to lead a group.
Chair Beaty stated that with the Mayor's apoointment as ChGir of the NIASAC,
fihe Commission is getting closer to their Actio� Plan Goal in getting a community
representative to MAC.
The Commission was of the consensus thai a congratulations letter be sent to
the Mayor with Chair BeGty's sign�ture.

DISCUSSION
This memo will cover the aaenda items for Unfinished and New Business and Updates.
l. Discuss PART 150 Undate - At the February 23, 1999 NIASAC Meeting, Mr. Roy
Fuhrmann, MAC, and NIr. Evan Futterman, HNTB, provided a briefin� on the process
that will be used to conduct the PART 150 Update. The PART 1�0 Update has begun
and is expected to take at least 18 months, with the finished product an application to
the FAA for another Part 1�0 project. This project has been identified as NIASAC's
primary goal for 1999.
The briefinQ at MASAC included the followinQ items:
a. Part 1�0 Purpose and Description
b. Noise Ivleasurement and Analysis in the Part 1�0 Study Process
c. History of NISP Part 1�0 Proaram (includina 1987 and 1992 projects)
d. Scope of the Currently Identified Issues
e. Discussion of Additional Issues/Concerns to be Addressed in Part 1�0 Update
f. MASAC Approval of Part 1�0 Work Scope
a. Preliminary Schedule for the Part 1�0 Study
It is hoped that the overheads uszd during the above described briefinQ will be available
for our next meeting. NIASAC requested that each cit�� respond within 30 days to Item
d. and Item e. that are in the above list. The Commission should discuss the Part 1�0
Update Process with staff and revie�v our Qoals for Parc 1�0. The Commission should
then respond to NIASAC about additional issuzs and concerns that they feel the Pan
1�0 Process should address.
The evaluation of the i�lendota Heiahts�EaQan corridor �vill be folded into the Part 1�0
Update process and there tivill also be an evaluation oi the Run�vay Use System due to
the need to implement procedu:es for the ne«� �untiva�� 17-3�. Other operational
considerations such as Non-Sirlultaneous Depar�ures, voise Abatement Deparrure
Profiles, and Head-to-Head operations will be evaluated, as well. The Commission
should also be concerned with the development of new Noise Contours, for the sound
insulation proaram.
Please brinQ your Action Plans for reference to our aoals as we discuss this item. The
Commission will need to direct staff on preparing our response to NIASAC.
2. Runwav Reconstruction - Enclosed is a copy of the graphics used by Roy Fuhrmann,
NIAC, during his presentation at last month's meetinQ. Construction beQins on April 5,
1999 and is supposed to be finished by August 31, 1999.

Q-
Glenn Strand, Minneapolis, asked for an explanation of "all air carrier jets." Chad Leqve, h1AC
Advisor, said the Air Carrier Jet count is predicated on aircraft type or class. He said business
jets would not be included, but a 727 flow�n by Federal E�press would be included. Mr. Leqve
also said that military operations are e�ccluded from all the counts. Roy Fuhrmann, Technical
Advisor, clarified that that the "All Operations" designation includes camer jets, props and all
other types of operations, except certain military aircraft. The same parameters are used in the
"All Operations - Nighttime" designation, as well.
Mr. Strand also asked if the definition of nighttime hours «�as from 10:30 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. Mr.

7i11 Smith, Mendota Heights, citing the approximate 10% increase in operations from November
1997 to November 1998, asked what the overa.11 percentage of increase in operations u�as for the �;
airport in 1998 and how it comparerl with the projected number of operations. Roy Fuhrmann, '��,
Te�hnical Advisor, said sta.ff would be able to report on the percentaQe of increase using ANOMS
data, but noted that the airport o�icially reports the total number of operations at the beginning of
each year for the previous year. h1r. Fuhrmann said the percentaQe increase in operations for the
past couple of years has been consistent with the high forecast numbers.
Ooerations Committee Work Plan Presentation
Roy Fuhrmaiui, Technical Advisor, briefed the council on the Operations Committee's Work plan
for 1999. He also included in his briefin� an update ofthe Part 1�0 Update Study.
Mr. Fuhrmann displayed an overhead of the proposed work plan. He noted that the topic for the
February 23, 1999 meeiing had been changed to a Part 1�0 Update Study discussion session.
N1r. Fuhrmann said because many of the items the Operations Committee had planned to address
in 1999 would be included in the Part 1�0 Update Study, the Operations Committee, alon� �vith
MASAC, will act as an advisory body to the Part 1�0 consultant team.
Mr. Fuhrmann also noted that because NiASAC's input into the Part 1�0 Update Study is vital,
the MASAC Operations Committee schedule would ne�d to stay flexible as the study progresses.
Mr. Fuhrmann said once the w�ork pIan is approved, he will brief the P&E Committee on
MASAC's 1998 Year in Revie��� and the 1999 workplan.
Mr. Fuhrmann said the Part 1�0 Update process «�11 be eYplained at the February 23, 1999 ���
meeting. He asked members to come to that meeting wzth ideas and su�estions regarding the
Part 150 Update Stud��. He said he anticipated that bv the end of the meeting MASAC should be
prepared to provide concurrence on the scope of «•ork briefed by HNTB and staff.
Chairman Johnson also mentioned that the Aviation Noise and Satellitz Programs stafiwould be
heavily involved in the stud�•, as ���ell. I�ir. Fuhrmann said staffwould also be participating in the
Low Frequency Noise Polic�� Committee that u•as established as part of NLAC's agreement with
the cit�� of Richfield. He said the Operations Committee has also, through a letter to Chairman
Grieve, asked for membership on the Polic�• Committee.
Mr. Fuhrmann encouraged memocrs to suoport an in-depth review of Part 1�0 items rather than
hurn�ng through them.

10. Reoort of the NiAC Commission Meetins -lanuarv 2�_ 1999
Chairman Johnson reported the following:
The Commission discussed Sun Countr}�'s decision to be�in daily scheduled service from
MSP.
The Airport Director reviewed some of the weather complications that had occurred durin�
January. He reported that a number of flights had been diverted to MSP during the winter
storms and that the airport was concerned about gridlock at MSP due to these diversions. He
said the airport is woricing with air tra�c control (ATC) to work out contingency plans if it
should happen again.
The Director of Public Safety reviewed the 1998 secnrity incidenis both at MSP and
throughout the industry. He reported that there very few security incidents at MSP during the
vear.
1 l. Persons WishinQ to Address the Council
Lance Staricha, E�an, asked «�hether the diverted fliahts mentioned above would be included in
the January Technical Advisor's Report. Roy Fuhrmann, Technical Advisor, said they would be
included. �.
Will Eginton, Inver Grove Heights, commented on the comdor gate penetration ana.lysis. He
noted that there had been no earl�� turnouu (before three miles) in the comdor. He said Inver
Grove Heights concern �cas that aircraft �ti•ere not turning immediatelv after the 3-mile mark and
were proceeding to fly over Inver Grove Heights. He noted that the to«�er order said that aircraft
should be turned out as soon as possible after three miles and that he «�anted to find out w•hy they
���eren't. Rov Fuhrmann, Technical .Advisor, said staff had reviewed various destination studies
for h1SP. He said the reason all aircraft are not turned out immediatel�• after three miles is
because a majorit�� of the flights lca�•ing 1�iSP are headed either east, south or southeast and
therefore have no reason to turn out. The�• are simpl}� en-route to their destination.
l�tr. Eginton said Inver Grove Heiehts is concerned that am• fliahts that can be diverted as soon as
possible after the 3-mile mark are indced bcing turne�.
Dick Saunders, Minneapolis, sus�ested sinee the pe:centaoe of Sta2e II aireraft was steadilv
decreasing and «�o�ld eventuall�• be at 0°o that the Tecnnical .advisor's Report begin to report the
percenta�e of hushkitted aircraft operations compared [o manufactured StaVe III aircraft
ooerations. Ro`� Fuhrmann. Tecnnica) Ad��isor, said the Ope �tions Committee planned to
investigate in Julv ho`�� information is disseminated throueh thz Technical Advisor's Re�ort a.nd
that Mr. Saunder's su�esiion could be considered at that time.
Mark Salmen, NtiVA, noted that the Carrier Jet Operadons o�� Tvpe pa?e in the Technical
Advisor's Reoort already included this infornation. Hz said placing hushlcitted operations ir.to a
separate cateoory oi Stage III aircraft «�ould be contran� to ti��hat federal law has alreadv �,
established and would be improper. Glenn Strand, Niisuieapolis, disagreed. He said MASAC did
not have to follow federal la�r• in its o��m reporting and that this change in presentation of the
information would be beneficial to hiASAC members. Mr. Salmen noted that the information
was already provided in ihe report.
Steve Minn, Minneapolis, said he supported Nir. Saunder's sug�estion because it w-ould further
clarifv the informaiion for the public.
Glenn Strand, Minneapolis, said although he supported reviewing the Technical Advisor's Report
as a��hole, if it would help the members understand the information be�te:, a small change such
as this should be implemented as soon as possible. Roy Fuhrmann, Te: hnical Advisor, said staf�
would be able to make that change if the council felt it would be beneficial. Dick Keinz, I�iAC,
pointed out that the information could be simply derived by adding up the percentages. Nir:
Strand reiterated that it wouid be even more helpful for the information to be further delineated.
Mr. Fuhrmann said he would make the change for the January 1999 Technical Advisor's Report.

AGENDA
Chairman Salmen introduced Da���n Schmidt. Assistant ?o���er i�ianaQer, and asked the members
to introduce themselves.
Chairman Salmen made the foilo���inn changc to � age � of the January 1�, 1999 minutes:
"Mark Salmen, N1�''�_ aske� ho«• the �;�orking ayreemenu
between the various F.�.� Air Traffic Facilities «•ould be
affected."
GRntTND R� UP ENCLD.SL�RE - Cn:'�'TI:`'L-7NG DI.SCL'SSION
Ro�• Fuhrmann, Technical rldvisor, r�poned that s�.:t; had been in contact with the staff at
Chicaoo-0`Hare Airport {ORD) reg�r�ing their Ground Run L`p Enclosure (GRE) Request for
Proposal (RFP) but had not rec�ived i; �..,� vet. He said it :hould amve shorlv.
Nir. Fuhrmann then distributed three handouts, including a map with the location of the 0' Hare
run up enclosure and : the noise monitoring sites at ORD, an e�cpanded GRE memo,, and a
su.mmary of ORD's GRE Acoustical Acceptance Tests. !�
Mr. Fuhrmann said in the absence of OR.D's RFP he felt it would be beneficial to eYplore further
the seven criteria identified at the last me�ting.
l. 24-de�ibel rerluction at 2 miles.
Mr. Fuhrmann summarized how Blast Deflectors Ine. (BDI) performed the acoustical
acceptance tests. (See BDI's GRE Acoustical Accepta.nce Tests Summary.) He said MSP r��ll
need to further clarifv the criteria for a reduction in noise levels associated with installin� a
GRE. He said ORD's RFP �4�ould be helpful in identifying specific criteria for noise level
reductions.
There was a brief discussion regarding the heading used within the GRE at ORD. Mr.
Fuhrmann noted that although only one heading can be used, various wind directions are
usually not a problem. He said the GRE's design helps redirect wind so that only one heading
can be used. �
I�ir. Fuhrmann said it was important to be sure the final configuration of a GRE at IviSP
would not interfeze �vith the airlines' ability utilize it. Ms. Fuhrmann said he would find out if
the size of the GRE at ORD is related to its ability to create wind. He said the run up pad at
MSP is larger (wider) than ihe GRE at ORD.
2. Decrease the number of peflple impacted (yet to be defined) by run-ups. - -
Rov Fuhrmann, Technical Advisor, said he thought it would be best to use contour modeling �
programs, as well as performing field monitoring to determine contours and the number of
people impacted by run up activities. He said field monitoring would require tight
coordination with the airlines.
Kevin Batchelder, Mendota Heiohts, asked «•ho would establish the baseline contours- Nit�C
staff or the vendor. Ro�• Fuhrmann, Technical Advisor, said he thought it would be best for
staff to determine a baseline first, but that the vendor ��,•ould most likelv «,•ant to establish a
baseline in order for them to periorm acoustical acceptance testing post-installation.
h1r. Fuhrmann also displa}�ed a map of the airport shouing concentric circles, at one-mile
intervals, around the run up pad. Using the run up contours generated for the Ground Noise
Monitoring Study, he sho�ti•ed that thc largest Stase III run up contour (DG10) reached out to
appro�imately the �-mile mark to thc south and southeast. N1r. Fuhrmann noted that the
contours �enerated for ORD «��re in Leq and that the contours generated for Minneapolis
«•ere in Lmax. Ivir. Fuhr,nann also notcd that the contours for MSP were generated using a
modeling �ro2�-am that-used cornmercial aircraft e-�aines.
3. A GRE must not deter airlines from using the enclosure.
i�4r. Fuhrmann said the QO%� us��e of the run up oa.�i ti�,�ould need to be maintained. He said
staff�i�ould need to ti�•ork closel�� �ti�ith the airlines to maV.imize the usage of a GRE.
4. The GRE must accommodate the current and planned fleet miz at NiSP.
5taff wzll need to obtain the airlines' projected fle�t mix numbers for the ne�ct 2 to 10 years.
5. The GRE orientation must be mazimized to reriuce noise while respecting 11�ISP wind
patterns.
Mr. Fuhrmann said staff would need to study the wind rose at l�iSP. He said the run up pad is
currently oriented on a 360 degree heading rather than the preferred 300-degree heading as
stated in the field rule.
John Nelson, Bloomington, asked wheiher or not the Aircraft Engine Run-up Field rule had
been finalized. Roy Fuhrmann, Technical Advisar, sai� it �z�as in iis final revision. He said
the airlines, the Airport Director, and operations personnel have reviewed it and, for safet��
reasons, modified the approved heaciings associated with the DC8, DC10, 747, MD11, L1011
aircraft. The following sentence �vas also inserte�: "The h1SP designated run up pad is the
primary location for aircraft mounted engine run ups."
Mr. Fuhnnann said the field rule designates as the prefened heading for run ups 300 degrees
when winds are Iess than 8 knou. When winds are more than 8 knots but less than 1� knots,
aircraft should use a heading clock�i�ise from 270 degrees to 090 degrees. When wznds are
higher than 1� knots, aireraft should use a heading according to the manufacturer's
recommendations.
I�1r. Fuhrmann also noted that since the modifications (elevated walls) to the blast fences have
been in place, the airlines have had problems with inconsistent airflo�r• �vithin the run up pad.
He said staff was working �;•ith the airlines to make sure even�thing is being done to ensure
'_ � the run up pad can be used in all conditions. He said there had been a couple of compressor
stalls since the higher «•alls ���ere installed.
6. Utilize the existing blast fences if possible.
7. Continue surveillance capabilities.
8. Nlonitor operations in the maintenance rvn up area.
9. Monitor areas adjacent to the airport in the nesresi residential area to the run up pad,
while monitoring the same aircratt activities on the airport.
N1r. Fuhrmann said although thc monitoring noted in both 8 and 9«�as similar to the
monitoring that took p(ace last ��ear for the Ground i�oise i�iunitorirg Stud��, he felt separate
monitoring by staff �cas in ordc�. He said it �ti•ould invol��e isolating run uo events, ��•hich
would require ���orking closcl�• ���ith thc airlines. He said monitoring «�ould be done at both a
one-mile and two-mile location in a residentia] area.

LETTER FROI�f EAGAN REOUESTING ADDITION.4L INFORMAT70N REG,4RDING
NWA'S ENGINE TEST CELL
(.
Rov Fuhrmann, Technical Advisor, said he received a lerer, which was a.ddressed to Jeff Hamiel, `� .
from the citv of Eagan regarding NWA's engine test cell facility and requesting additional
monitoring be performed.
Jamie Verbru�e, Eagan, said the city's Airport Relatians Commission (ARC) is not fully
convinced that the inforn�ation presented at the last MASAC Operations Committee represents an
adequate explanation of the noise being generated at the faciiiry. He said the commission is
concerned that the noise monitoring performed at the �cility w�a.s at ground level ra.ther than at a
level equal to where the noise is being discharged. He said ihe commission wants monitoring to
be done at a point one mile ati;�ay and at 2�0 feet above ground level. He said they are convinced
that the noise associated with the test cell is distinct enough to be distinguished from the other
noise being generated on the airfield.
Mark Salmen, NWA, said he was currently involved in determining how the noise monitoring
was performed at the test cell facilin�. He said the individual who was involved with the testing is
no longer available but the firm that performed the monitoring and NWA's environmental
depamnent are workin� on locating additional information.
Mr. Verbru�e said the commission has also e�ctended an invitation to Chairman Salmen and Roy
Fuhrmann to make a presentation regarding the test cell faciIity to the commission at one of their
upcoming meetings.
Roy Fuhrmann, Technical Advisor, summarized the ARC's rec�uest. He said the ARC has asked
that MAC staf� proceed with additional monitoring if no other information was available.
Chairman Salmen said he w•ould coordinate effor[s with staff in order to accomplish that
monitonng.
There was discussion regarding ho«• best to correlate information frorn the test cell facility logs,
the times of day residents are experiencing this type of noise and the monitored data. Chairrr��
Salmen suQaested that the residents keep logs of «•hen this specific type of noise is being heard
and that this information be compared ��ith information from the test ce31 facility logs and the
monitorine data. Jamie Verbrugge said the residents had offered to do so.
Rov Fuhrmann, Technical Advisor, asked if the residents were hearing the noise at any particular
time of day. Jamie VerbruQoe, Eagan, said the residents, as a«•hole, could not identify a specific
time of dav.
John Nelson, Bloomin�ton, said he ����nts to be sure the monitoring and its associated report is
completed quickly and that he is not canvineed the test cell is gen.erating any detectable noise in
the residential areas. He said bet��•e�n other airport activity and highwav noise, he doesn't thinl:
the test cell will Qenerate detectable noise levels.
Dick Saunders, Minneapolis, asked if atmospheric conditions could a-irect how the noise from the
test cell is directed. Rov Fuhrmann. Technical Advisor, said atrnosphe:-ic conditions could have
an effect but that same effect u•ould «�ork on all the other trpes of noise generated at the airport,
as «�ell.
Mr. Fuhrn�ann asked the committes to think about what type of action might be taken, if any, if in
fact a detectable noise level was detected from the test cell. John Nelson, Bloomington, su�ested
that if the noise ievels are less than 6� decibels in the community that it not be mitigated.
Nir. Fuhrmann also said that sta� would plan on performing manned monitoring similar to the
monitoring that was done for the Ground Noise Monitoring Study.
JOHN NELSIDN, BLOONIINGTON, MOV�D AND JANiIE VERBRUGGE, EAGAN,

THE CITY OF EAGAN AND NORTHWEST AIRLINES. THE VOTE WAS
UNANIMOUS. MOTION CARRIEA
Roy Fuhr-mann, Technical Advisor, said he would inform Jeff Hamiel of what the Operations
Committee decided to do regardin� Eagan's request. �
R'l!T INSTALLATION UPDATE .
Chad Leqve, MAC Advisor, updated the committee on the installation of the additional 5 RMTs
(see attachments).
Mr. Leqve reviewed each of the site maps. I�ir. Leqve made ihe following points:
� The maps are preliminary. More specific maps are being generated.
• The RMT sites w•ere chosen based on ��•here there would be the least likelihood of additional
ambient noise.
• A majority of the sites are located c3ose to the center of the identified area.
• Staff has visited each of the sites.
There w�as also e�ctensive discussion regarding the Eriesson Elementary School location. John
Neison, Bloomington, said he .��as vcr�• concerned about liabilit�� and construction issues (roof
penetration) in regards to this sitc:. Ro�� Fuhrmann and Chad Leqve noted the following regarding
the Ericsson Elementan� School sitc:
• This will be the most complicated installation of the four identified sites.
• The playground is located on the other side of the schaol.
• The city of hiinneapolis w�anL it located on the school campus and there is no better place on
the ground to do so.
• Staff vvill use a ladder from the ground to reach t,'�e maintenance building roof and a
permanent wall-mounted ladde; ti��ill be placed ben�,•een the mainte:�nce building and the
gymnasium in orde; to reac5 the R�iT. In addition, pavers wzll be place� on both roofs.
• The City of Niinneapolis Facilities Deoartment has endorsed the plan.
• Miller Dunwiddie is the architectural consultant who has worked extensively with the City of
Minneapolis Facilities department on the Part 150 School Insulation Program.
;
John Nelson, Bloomington, asked staff to revisit this site with the city o�cials to be sure it is the �
best site possible.
John Nelson, Bloomington, asked what the status was for the city of Richfield's new RMT site.
Roy Fuhnnann, Technical Advisor, said Richfield has not yet chosen a site, but that they have all
the necessary information regarding the Operations Committee's recommendation for the site. He
said he has spoken with Dawn Weitzel recentty to find out the status of the site selection. She
informed him that the city had been preoccupied with othez airport noise related issues but that
the City Council would be meeting soon. Mark Hinds, Richfield, said there had not been any
decision made at this time.,
Mr. Fuhrmann said installation of the other RMTs wili move fonvard regardless. He said the bid
specifications will include some preliminary information about the Richfield site. Kevin
Batchelder, Mendota Heights, asked if there would be an increase in cost associated with not
knowing the site for the Richfield R1�iT. Mi'• Fuhrmann said any cost increase would be due to
the ambiguity of the specifications. Chad Leqve, MAC Advisor, said the specifications include
some general site parameter information about the Richfieid site that will help eliminate some of
the ambiguity. �
Charles Mertensotto, Mendota Heights, asked if the full MASAC body would be given tfiis
briefing. Roy Fuhrmann, Technical Advisor, said a short briefing could be given at the February
23, 1999 meeting.
John Nelson, Bloomington, asked if ANOMS «•ill be handle the additional RMT sites. Chad
Leqve, MAC Advisor, said with the ne�;• version of Ai�JOMS there would be no problem adding
the RMTs. Roy Fuhrmann, Technical Advisor, said, depending on the vendor, the RMT
hardware or software may need to be upgraded bzfore it is compatible with ANOMS, but that the
vendor would be responsible for ensuring compatibilin�.
UPnA TE nN ANnMS VERSI nN 6. 3 UPC;R4 DE
Cha.d Leqve, N1AC Advisor, briefed the committee on the ANOi�4S Version 6.3 upgrade process.
(See attachments.) He said representativcs from Harris, hiiller, Miller and Hanson (HMi�
were in Nfinneapolis the �;�hole prcvious �ti•eek to complete the upgrade process.
Y2K Issues
ANOMS Version 4.2 is not Y2h compliant. Vcrsion 6.3 is compliant.
The Remote Monitoring To«•crs (RI�1Ts) «'cre not compliant. The firmware has been
updated in each of the to���crs.
The Optical Disk Reader (ODR) at the FAA to�ti•e. is not�Y2K compliant, but the software
will be updated via modem in mid-'�iarch 1999. A confirmation letter has be�n received
from the vendor.
,
�
Rroduct Selection
• Because the Larson Davis RMTs and the ODR are campatible with the different types of
! ANOMS-like software prograrns, staffhad more flexibility when selecting a soflware vendor.
• Staff considered the following products: Tracor's Airport hianagement Inforniation Systems
(TAMIS), F�iH's Airport Noise and Operations Monitoring System (ANOMS), B&K's
Airport Noise Monitoring and Flight Tracking System and Lochard's Global Environment
Management System (GEMS).
• The reasons for selecting Fil�iMH's ANOMS Version 6.3 were:
➢ It is a Y2K compliant system and operates on a Y2K Opera.ting System.
➢ It res�uires minimal system integration.
➢ It facilitates conversion of historical data.
➢ It encompasses leading edge functionality and analytical capabilities.
Pre-Installation Preparation

• Increased accuracy. (Geo referenced b�se map and structure development based on latitude
and longitude.)
p Base map enhancement.
• Enhanced report capabilities. (Complete database access via report gene:ator and customized
reports.)
Dick Saunders, Minneapolis, asked how much the upgrade cost. Chad Leqve, MAC Advisor,
said the total cost (for hardware, soffivare and installation) was approximately $11�,000 to
$120,000, which is lower than the installafion costs at other airports.
Charles Mertensotto, Mendota Heights, asked how the information was stored and whether or not
there is off-site storage. Roy Fuhrmann, Technical Advisor, said the tapes c.an be azchived at the
general office's vault and that Nit Leqve stores the tapes in a cement-lined filing cabinet in his
office.
Roy Fuhrmaiui, Technical Advisor, said sta.ff is ninning both versions of ANOMS at this time.
He said the January Technical Advisor's Report will be based on the old system_
7ohn Nelson, Bloomingtoq said he felt the ANOMS system is central to the MASAC
organiza.tion and urged staff to keep the Operations Committee updated on any new capabiIities
or features. He said he thought the ANOMS systern would be an integral part of the Part 1�0
Update.

� coustical acceotance testinQ «'as conducte:i to demonstrate compliance ��-ith the acoustic performance specified
in the request for proposals �and in the subsequent addendum.
The testing �;�as canducted in ��=o phases during the �i°eek of I�iarch lst; 1997. The first phase of the testing ��as
. performed adjacent to the GRE and at Sites 2& 3. Sound leti•el measuements �i•ere made during operation of
� aircraft both inside and autside of the GRE to demonstrate compliance «-ith the requirement for achie�•ina a 20

S t Site �, durin� operation of a 72�-200 aercraft �zith both ��es opei-atina at full po«�er, a reduction of 23 dBA
�z•as recorded.
r�t Site 2, the noise le�lels during operaiion of the aircraft out�ide the GRE n-ere not enouah above ambient levels _
'�`'� to demonstrate a 20 dBA reduction. Aireraft operating outside the GRE, produced levels of � dBA above the -
�.,..,:��.. ambient. To demonstrate a 20 dB� reduction at Site 3, measurements «•ere made both �izthi.n and outside the
(� � GRE at a distance of �00 feet from the aircraft. The measare:r,ents «-e:e made at a location with an orientatzon

LANDRL,TNI & BROWN ��ILL B� STRICTUIOi�O
PART 161 STUDY OF STAGE 3 F�E
The acoustical consultina firm Landrum fi. Brown of Cincinnati, OH, moves into
uncharted territory as it becomes the first contractor in the country selected to
con�uct a federal Part 161 study of restrictions on Sta�e 3 aircraft �vhich �vill be
done at Burbank-Glendale-Pasadena Airport•
Since the Federal Aviation Administration issued iu Part 161 reaulations on
Notice and Approval of Airport Noise and Access Restrictions in 1991, the aQency
has provided little guidance on how airporrs can me�t the requirements of its rules.
In order for Burbank airport to Qain FtiA approval to impose restrictions on
StaQe 3 aircraft, Landrum & Brown's Part 161 analysis will have to demonstrate
that the restrictions satisfy six conditions set forth in the Airport Noise and
Capacity Act of 1990: they are (1) reasonabie, nonarbitrary, and nondiscrimina-
tory. (2) would not create an undue burden on interstate or foreiQn commerce, (3)
would maintain safe and efficient use of naviQable airspace, (�) would not conflict
with any existinQ federal stan�te or regulation, (�) chat the airport has provided
adequate opponuni�y for public comment. and (6) that the proposed restrictions do
not create "an undue burden on the nationai aviation system" — a new and unde-
fined term.
The FAA �vill only approve new restrictions on Stase 3 aireraft if the benefits of

Rich�rd Simon. counsel to the Burbank airpon authority,
said the cos[/bzne'r�� analysis �vill be the most important part
ot� [he Part l61 stud�. "This will be the first Part 161 study
in the country to se�k restrictions on the quietest Staee 3
aireraft," Simon said. "To date no airport has succeedzd a�
imposin� noise and access restrictions under Part 161 on the
noisier StaRe 2 aircraft. Our study will be much more
complex, and demonstratinQ that the benefits of Stage �
caps or curfews outweiQh the costs of reduced commerce
will be a key to obcaininQ approval from the [Fr1A]."
SH&E Added to Team
On Feb. �, the Burbank, Glendale, Pasadena Airport
Commission voted �-0 (with the City of Burbank's three
commissioners abscainins and the commission president
absent) to hire Landrum & Brown which was seIected over
Chica�o-based Ricondo & Associates. URS Greiner Corp.
was asked by [he airport to submit a proposal for the study
but declined.
The commission said they chose Landrum & Brown
because the firm was mutually aQreeable in t997 to both the
airport authority and the City of Burbank to provide noise
consul[inQ durinQ their mediation talks over a project to add
a netiv passenQer terminal. They also cited the fact that Simat
Hellieson & Eichner, Inc. (SH&E), of CambridQe, h1A, will
be patt of the Landrum & Brown team and �vill conduct [he
cosdbenefit analysis of the proposed noise control measures,
which could include caps of fliQht operations, curieti��s, and
a possible ban of the noisier business jets. SH�.E did cosd
benefit analvses for Part ] 6( studies at San Francisco and
San Josz International airports and Pease International
Tradeport in Ne�.v Hampshire.
"I personally felt comfortable wi�h the selection of
Landrum cX. Brown after they added SH&E," said Airpor
Commission Vice President Carl 2vleseck. "Their role in the
San Francisco s�ud`� should play �vell in Buroank, tivhich has
pointed to tha� studv as an example to follo�v.
Airpor� auchorit�• officials said they were hopeful tha< <he

study has been irreoarably dama17ed" because the City of
Burbank �vas not a panner in the selection oF the contracror
t'or the study. kirsch told ANR. He said the representn[ives
of the City of Buroank �n the airport commission �+�er� only
allowed to ask three questions to t«�o candidates durin�* the
selection process. The Part 161 re«ulations do not detine
any process for contractor selection.
Kirsch said that the airport bypassed the normal process of
issuin�* a request forpmposals ro find a contracror and
instead invited only the three it was interes[ed in to submit
proposals. Harris Nlille: �Iiller & Hanson, Inc. (H�Ii�1H),
the consultinQ firm that has conducted the only Part 1 b 1
studies done to date (at San Francisco International and San
Jose International airports and Pease Tradeport} and has the
most experience with the process, was not even considered,
he said. SH&:E �vorked �vith Hi�1i�iH on those projects.
The airport authority has offered to let the City of Burbank
be a full partner in the Part 161 study if the city woold aaree
to abide bv the Federal Aviation Administration's eventual
decision to either anprove or reject the study. Burbank
refused to aQree to that condition.
In its announcement reQardinQ the selection of Landrum &
Brown, Airport Commission Vice President Carl ltilesec!:
appeared to try to assuage Burbank's fear that the airport
will only go throu� tt;e motions of conductins the study
and does not want to impose any further noise restrictions.
"This wiil be a very credible and fair study, IVTeseck said.
"Our consuitanu nave indicated that the vast majority af the
scopinQ will be done with the stal:eholders in mind. There
wil] be ample opportunity for the involvement of the City of
Bucbank: '
Exemption under ANCA
In a related issue, the airpon authority wrote FAA
Administrator Jane Garvey Feb. 2 asl:ins her to end a debate
between the airport authority and the City of Burbank o��er
whether the airport can imposz a mandatory curfew and
fliQht cap without goin� throuQh the Part 161 process.
"There is the perception on the part of the City of Burbank
and some citizens that the Authority would have that power
by '�randfatherins' our existinQ voluntary curfew under the
[Par lblj rules," �,irport Authoritv President Joyce Streator
wrote. "I� is very imoonant that we receive direction from
[he F.�A before we spend 51� millio� on a Part 161 scud��,"
she told Gar�: e��.
But the Ciry oi Buroank quickl}� wrote the FAA s�yin�
that the aimor authorin• had misrepresented its position anil
asLed the F��1 the �vron� question. `'Burbank does not

Another similar study ol' chil�lren exposed tc� nuisz at

blood pressure in noisy or ��en� noisv znvironments com-
pare� to quiet em•ironrnents. But a�ain. the trio ot'research-
ers noted "it is difficult to tell �vhether social class mi�*ht
h�ve cunfounded the associstion of noise exposure tu blood
pressure."
But the trio of reeie�vers also noted a study by Gary
Evans, Profess�r of Desi«n and Environmental Analysis at
Cornell Universin�, which e�amined children exposed to
noise from Munich International Airport before and after it
was moved. Indices of chronic stress were found ro be
"si�niticantly hiRher' in noise-exposed children. The results
seem to imply that aircraf[ noise incre:ises psycho physio-
Iosical stress amon� children..
"These studies increase the evidence for slisht elevations
of blood pressure in children ... near major noise sources,"
the revie�v team concluded. "Althoush the desree of blood
pressure increase is small from a clinica] perspective, these
increases ne�d to be tracked into adulthood. The accompa-
nyin� elevations in ... markers of stress ... Qive further
credence to the idea of stress beinQ a potential intermediate
step between noise and increased blood pressure. A further
refinement in these studies would be to concentrate on
sub�roups of children with a family history of hypenension
or lo�v binh weiaht, both of which are associated wi[h
higher risk of developin� hypertension_ All studies would
profit from repeated blood pressure measurements."
Effects on Adult Health
Similarly, a number of studies on noise effects on adult
health have provided tantalizinQ hints of a connection
bet�veen noise exposure and health but fell short of bein�
definitive. Studies of both chronic and acute cardiovascular
effects in adults �•ielded mixed results. In most instances
��here noise appe�red to be associated with elevated blood
pressure, other variables might have int7uenced outcomes.
Similarly, studies oF the impact of noise on stress hormones
have pro�•ed less than conclusive, the team found; tindin«s

P esearch Needs Refined
The team of revie�vers said that in order to refine fu�ure
research efforts, improvements were needed in four genzral
areas. First, they said, advances ne�d to be made in charac-
terization of noise exposure and stud}� desi�n. Needed are
measures to aporooria[ely describe sound and to distin�Tuish
sufticientiv amon� sound environments. Also needed is a
concept of total sound environments based on time-acti��ity
pa[terns. Exposure ran�e in many studies is insufficient or
truncated, the trio concluded, and �roup sizes at various
noise levels are too small to ailow adequate dose-response
analysis. Ambient noise should be taken into account as
well.
Secondly, the trio said, improvements are needed in
procedures for s�lectinn and charac[erizin� study settin���.
"Nlost swdies �vork �vith hidden assumptions that ambient
environments are equal across studies. Ho�vever �vork and
residential environments may differ substantiail}� and need
to be adequatelv described to alfo�v proper in[e:pretation
when eFfect le�•els deviate." In studvina stress in a�,i�'en
settin��, all rele��ant factors need to be considered, such as
density, work schzdules and or�anizntion, famil� stress an�i
social suppor�, they pointed out. Care also ne4ds to bz taken

"Given the present state of l:no�vled�e." reported Bernard
F. Berry, Nicule D. Porter, and Ian H. Flindell, "i� ���oulcl be
un�vise to base future environmental noise standards and
re��ulations on �r•hat are at present hypothesized non-
auditory health effects until future research can tnake the
present confused situatiun clearer." Berry and Porter are on
the staff of the Centre for Iviechanical and Acoustic �Ietrol-
oQy. National Physical Laboratory, �Iiddlesex; Flindell is
tivi[h the Insti[ute of Sound and Vibration Research in
Hampshire.
New standards for measurine all erfects of noise need to
be developed and refined in such a ��,�ay that the public can
become more ativare of their relativ� stren�ths and weak-
nesses, the researchers argued. An increased emphasis on
non-auditory health ef'rects, as opposed to annoyance, could
yielci a more complete accountine of a11 costs of noise
exposure. Howzver, they also noted "there is conside, abl�
doubt ... as ro the masnitude of these eifects due to environ-
mental noise." y
Berry, Porter, and Flindell said further research is required
to ensure that non-auditory health efiects are included in the
development oi iuture standards. Such research, they
arQued, "must be careTull�� desisned, not oniy in terms oE
planninQ and execution, but also in tzrms of settinJ pre-
cisel� deiined and achie�rable objectives." �

However. the concluded, "this aiso means that signiticant

No Dose-Response Relationship
Berry, Porter,, and Flindeil dre�v several conclusions from
their revie�v of the primary research. "Since the evidence in
supporc of potential heaith effects other than annu�ance is
either contradictory or controversial," they reporced, "«'z
cannot at present define any precise exposure-response
relationshins for any effects othec than annoyance. and there
is some uncertainry even for that effect. Tner� are mam�
non-acoustic factors involved in both annoyance and oCher
effects, eacn of �vhich undoubtedly ad�s to the �Tenzral
�•ariabili�v in the data. The scientitic evidence sua�ests
thresholds belo�v which it is possible to infer that there are
no si�nificant health impacts. Equivalent thresholds at the
upper end of the scale above which definite h�alth impacts
are likelv are much more difficult to determine."
Even more problematical, the team said, is the question of
possible links bet«�een observable and mosth� short-tern�
efTects anc lon�er-term impacts on health. "Ho«' m�;,-'h� one
effec� modify another?" they asked. "�`'hat pr:cis� role is

analvsis of noise �xposure �itec[s on chileiren. One. pre-
sented b}' Lorraine E. �lax���zll and Gan� ��'. E��ans ot'
Cornell Universit��. dealt ���ith readin�� readin�ss amon�*
preschoolers tirst in a noisy interior space and [hen. a year
later. in the same space fitted ���i�h sound-absorbent panels.
�la���'eli and E�'ans concludzd that chronie: exposure to
hi��h inizrior noisz le�'els nz«ati�•el�� impacts the lan��ua�*e
and pre-readin« s�ills or preschool children. The study was
uniyue in its focus on interior noise rather than external
noise sources, and the researchers said it sho�vs how interior
acousticat problems are more easily corrected [han problems
resultin�� from sitz loca[ion near airpons, railways, or
hi�hways.
1-io�ve`�er, they pointed out, renovations may not alwnys
solve interior noise problems. They ciced a t7ndin� by thz
Acoustical Society of America to the effect that "many"
architectural consultants "do not acknowledae the impact of
proper acoustics on student learnin� and academic achieve-
ment." The researchers said that dzsiRners ne�d to aive
�reater ar�ention co shape oT rooms, height of ceilinss,
finishes, and other acoustical fzatures.
"Children's use of, and unde:standinQ of, languaQe is
poorer in loud classrooms," they reported. "Additionally,
one of th� earliest and most fundamental of pre-readin4
si:ills, letter and number reco�ni�ion, is adversely affected ...
[T]he critical role of lanaua�e in acquirina readin� skills is
disrup[ed by loud noise." The au[hors assert theirs is the tirst
studv to re��eal evidence of possibte linka�es between
chroni� noise e�posure and pre-readin� sUlls. "Children
��•ho li�'� or a:tend day care in noisy settinss may suffer in
the derelopment of rzadin� s':ills." they concluded.

CLINTON BUDGET PROPOSES
DROP Ii11 AIP FUNDS IN FY 2000
The Clincon rldministration's fiscal 2�00 budvet, unveiled
Feb. 1, �vould incrzase Federal Aviation Administra�ion
spendin� [o �10.13 bil]ion from �9.7� billion but would
reduce fundin� for �he Airport Improvement Program —
throuoh which federal Rrants are ativarded for airpon
expansion and noise mitiQation projects — to 51.6 billion
from S l 9� billion. �
Th� administration would allow airports to raise additional
mone:�, howeve:, by increasinQ Passenaer Faciliry Char�es
(PFCs), �vhich also can be used to fund noise mitisa�ion
projects, from a maximum of �3 per person to S� per
person.
Fundins for research and development proje�ts in the
FAA's Otfice of Environment and Ener�v would increas: to
53.481 rnillion in fiscal 2000, up from 52.891 million bu�
still belo�v the hi�nzst fundin� level of S�.•-'. million in 199�.
Sen.lohn tiicCain (R-AZ), chairman of the Senate
Commerce Commictee, introduced IeQislation Jan. 16 that
��•ould reauthorize th� airport grant proaram at S?.� 1 billion
t'or tiscal 1 ��?9 (thz current authorization expires on i�farcn
� l) and S2.-',7� billion for tiscal 2000.
Thz House Committee on Transportation and Infrastruc-
ture approved a bill on 1an. 7 that tivould extend [he AIP
pro��ram throu`�h t'-:z end if tiscal 1999 at a le�•el oFS1.9:

[[ w•ill be necessan to add or extend t�vo runwavs as Ear

F��r San Fr:incisco Int�rnational �irport to sa�isf}� its �7oals oF
reducin�_ noise impac[ on the surroundin� community.
reducin�* tli�,ht delavs in bad �t•ea�her, and accommodating
the next �_eneration of Ne�v Lar�e Aircraft, scheduled for
introduction around 2U0�, the tinal workin� paper From the
airport's Runway Reconti�uration Feasibility Study
concluded.
The paper. released Jan. 2S, identified and recommended
two feasible runwa� reconfiauration alternatives, which it
said would siQniticandy reduce noise in most cities sur-
roundin� the airpon, and would not increase noise levels or
shiFt noise from one communitv to a�other.
One Runtii�ay� �lternative
However. the state a�ency that arants permits to till the
San Francisco Bay, the Bay Conservation and Development
Commission (BCDC), has told the airport that it tivould like
to see it consider addine only one new runway in the bay,
not two. Currzntly the airpon is not considerins that
alternative. Will Trar•is, executive director of BCDC, told
AiVR.
While adding t�vo new runways would allow the airport to
meet all of its goals, addina just one new runway wou(d
soive the delay problem in bad �veather, would allow some
of the Ne�v Larse Aircraft to be accommodated, and would
solve some of the noise problem, he said.
AddinQ one new run�vay in the bay would rzquire only
400 acres to be filled. Travis said, while addinQ ttivo new
runways ���ould require 1,200 to 1,600 acres to�be filled.
State la��� ailows BCDC to approve fill in [he bay only if
no alternatiti�e location for a project can be found, Travis
explained, and then the law stipulates that only the mini-
mum amount of fill can be approved. The la�v mandates tha�
BCDC must look at the airpon capaciry issue from a broad
re��ional pzrspective and determine whether addinR a
runway at anoth�r airport, such as Oakland or San Jose, or
juint use or conversion uf military bases, or the addi[ion of
hiRh-speed rail could solve the rumvat�s capaci[y ShOft1�*2
problem ��fiile avoidin� the need to fill in the bay.
Travis nnted also that tne residents of South San Francisco
havz expre�s�d concerns that either of the two n��.v run��•av
alternatice� �vill shir� t��keof'r routes and move the noise
problz:n u�•�r their hzads.

Several construction alternatives ��'ere considered in the
feasibilitv studv includin� dredQe and ti11, soii stabilization,
till and surcharse, and pile svpported structure. Thz till and
surchar�+e method of construction �vas recommended by the
consultants nnd can be supplemented by some pile sup-
ported structures for �nvironmental considerations, the
airport said. This method of construction would require
approximately �7 million cubic yards of fill at an estimated
cost of S 1.� billion. Reco�nizing the maQnimde of chis fill,
the airport said its staff and their consultan[s will investi�ate
alternative construction methods durin� the detailed
environmental review process that will besin in the sprin4.
John L. tifartin, director of the airport, expr;ssed enthusi-
asm �vith the findin;s of the final worI:in� paper. "The
airport has an opportunity today i[ never had in the oast. and
will probablv never have in the future. tiVe can drama[ically
reduce delays, ��inually solve the noise problem, and insure
the airport remains a major premier international Qate�•�•ay

"IF we dan't enact this, it will be another vic�ory far

With the impeachment trial oi Presiden[ Clinton ap-
pearing to be corrting to an end, bicCain has be�n seek-
ing to have the legislation scheduled soon for floor ac-
tion. But an aide to Senate GOP Lcader Trent I..ott ix'
Miss.), who attended the mazk-ug session, deciined to
say wh.en tne bill will come co the floor.

said.
Ci�anges in Siot Rulas Approved. while most of che
committee's FAA bill is unchanged from the measure
approved last fall by the Sena.te, the p�nel has reworked
nyany of the grovisions to spur competition, primarily
thase de�i.ing with slots at the nation's four slot-
controiled airpor's•
Wth changes approved during the mark•up session,
the bill now wouid create aimost 50 new slots at V�tash-
ington Reagan National. In all, the bll1 Wot:ld per�rtit 24
new slots---0r Flights-within the ctrrent 1,254-mile pe-
rimecer rule and another 24 new slots beyond the pe-
rimeter.
Second, the bill would require the Transportation
Depariment to pravide 30 slot exemptions at Chicago
O'Hare. Some 18 slots would pravide ssrvice to under-
served communities, and 12 others woutd be available
{or general distnbution.
�Vhile DOT is directed to consider noise and environ•
mental impacts before granting the slots, the bill was
amenderi so that DO? will not have to give prioriry con-
side:ation to air carriers that had stots withdrawn from
them for foreign transpor'tation.
Ti�ird, the bill would provide siot exemptions for
nonstop red onzl jets to fly to and from underserved
communiues and O'Y.are, New York La Guardia, and
i�ievv York Kennedy_ Tne exemptions aiso would have to
be aDoroved by DOT for sErvice berween cne thre� air-
ports and iacilities with iewe* than 2 miliion passenaers
per year.
�ricCain desc:�bed the reworked proLisions as the
best comgromise possible.

FA.A WITH � 11.4 BILLION �L1��I�TG
By Andrew D. Beadle, CQ Staf�Writer
Feb. 12, 1999 - The Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportauon approved
le�islation {S$2) Thursday that would authorize the Federal Aviation t�dministrarion (FAA.) for tha
ne� year and a half.
The bill includes language that would allow more flights at Ronald Reagan Washington National
Airport.
The measure would authorize �1 l.4 billion in FA.A spendin� throuyh the end af f�sca� 2Q00.
Sponsored by cominittee Chauman 7ohn McCair� R-Atiz., the bill is nearly identicat to le�slation the
Senate appraved 92-1 last year.
That bill was not enacted into law, however, because af vast differences between the House and
Senate versions. A six-month authorization was included in the omnibus spendin� bill (PL 105-277}
passed at the end of the session.
The truncated authori2ation grants aizports the authority to use money from the FAA's Aarport
Improvement Program tnist fund only throu�h the end of i�iarch, meanin� a compromise must be
reached between the House and Senate on authorization in short order.
The House passed its own bill (HR99} to authorize the FA4 at �5,6 billion throu�h the e:�d of fiscal
1999 earlier this session.
Tha fate of the airport improvement trus� fiind is an issue that must be cleared up between Mc�ain
and House Transportation and Infrastructure Chairman Bud Shus�er, R-Penn., before lon�-terrn FAA
reauthoriaation becomes reality. Shuster wants to take the trust fund oit-bud�et in the same way ths
highway transportation trust fund was taken off-budget la..�t year. He introduced legislation (H�l 11)
to do so in January.
Slots at Reagan National. McCain offered the amendment to allow 24 additional flig:hts a day at
Rea�an Naiional Airport during Thursday's panel deliberations. Twelve of those flights could exce�d
the so-called "perimeter nile," which prohibits nanstop fliQhts of 1,SOQ miles or more from landing or
originatin� at the airport. The amendment also opsns up slots for 12 additional takeoffs or landin�s at
the busy facility.
The anel ado ted the amendment bv voice vote, thou�h rankin� membe: Ernest F. Hol1i�Q� D-S �'.,
said he would fiaht to r�move the ro�isions on th� S�nate fioor and when t�e biil is.s:.nt to a
Hause-Senate conf�Tenc�.
The committe�, by voice vote, also adopte� a packaye of tec'nnical amendments to the bill. Sen. Slade
Garton, R-Wash., told the committee he had considere� o�erin¢ an amendnent that wovld allaw
airlines to increasz passen�er fe�s used iar airpor� s�sety and se�urity improvernents, but he dec.in�d,
sayin� it may came up at a later point.
I�icCain ur�ed quick Senate actian on #he bill, saying it cantains seti�eral key s2iety measures.

7he follacving ediiorial appeared in ilze
Si. Louis Dispatch and was submitt�d to
NOISE by Cnnrad Bo�c�ers, Nlayorof
Brrdgetan, Mis�uri.
Brid�eion Mayor to FA.A Director:
SeP you in Caurt
In the past few days much has been
said about the future of airport
expansion, with proponents makin�
bald pretiictions about its pro�ress.
However, the fact is that little has
chan�ed and s�ong oppositionwill
continue.
{
In spite of all the recent '
announcements, �we mmaul where we
were months a�o: still waiting for the
issuance of the record of decision.
The most recent development was
the announcement by FAA Director
Jane Garvey that W-1W was a safe
plan and that a real-�me analysis was
not needed. This did not repre�ent a
major milestone. There were no
plaiu for this analysis months ago,
and there s�ill are no plans for one at
ti`�is time.
Kee� in mind that fihe issue of s�e���
��vas rais2d not by the city of
Br�� geton, but by rer resentatives of
tne �irline Pilots Association and tht
� a �onal Air Tra�ic Controllers, t��h��
are F.�A emplo_yees. These are the
;ceople who fly the airplanes an� �'
people who clirect the air traffic\`11 ��
public should be concerned that the�
-professionals are raisina these issues
and that poli�cal pressure is bein�
uszd to resolve them. It will be
interes�.ng to learn how they were
addressed to Garvev's satisfaction.
Mavor Clarence Har-non's call for the
opponents oE W-1W to walkhand-in-
hand with him into the future, now
that the record of decision appears to
be uriminent, rings hollow. He has
chosen not to meet with Brid�eton
elected ofncials or even to return my
calls. It is one thina for officials to
spe�,k of a resonal approach and
another for them to act on it
A siQned record of decision will. be
the b e�n li�ht for the city of
Brid�eton to initiate liti�ation that
will proceed down two dis�rrct
; � -�� ���aths — s��ate and federal.
',. .....
The primary issue before ihe s�ate is
the question of zonin�. Does the city
of St. Louis have such superior
soverei�nty that it can unilaterally
dc-cide to build a runway or make use
of land in another citv that is
conuary to the zoning laws
es�ablished by that other city? We
thin.k not. Fede: al issues w-ill involve
a hos � of environmental concems and
inconsistencies contained in the final
environmental impact s�atement
prepared for the W-1tiV e:cpansion.
Despi�e this L�iaa�on, tive expect St.
Lou?s to con�nue buvin� hornes and
to st� � some pnases of construc�on.
P en. Richard Gephardt stated in a
pres� rele�se that, in his opinion, a
re=�airvrla order to stop cons�-uc�on
�:n�:i all liti�ation is se�led �vould not
�
�-�'be �-=.anted b�' a.r�,, juc?�e. Brd�e�on
offcials w-ill not even request such an
order. The auport has s:ated that S3�
million is available to purchase
homes, enou�h to buy oniv about 10
percent of the es�mated number of
properties necessary for ti1�'-1 W. The
criteria for purchase have �n lef �
unde�: Consx�uently, we expect the
airport to continue purcha.�in� homes
throu�hout the area in �cat�ershot
fashion in an effor� ta demoralize
individuals tivanting io remain in
Brid�eton
Brid�eton officials do not intend to
s�nd in the way of individuaLs in the
path of W-1W who may w-ish to sell
their homes to the airpor'��. tiVe will
$�.ht the real baitle —preventin� the
compleiion of the poorly canceived
tiV 1tiV e.Ypansion of the airport.
We harbor no b�ilt about ��nding in
t��-.e ;vay �f � c?;CY8i4S:O11 L`2�'HllS2 4+i E
know W 24V is bad for the re� on.
The suburban development
surrounding Laml�e*t prerludes
building a world cl�s airpor at u'zis
slte.
A short-tezrri solu�on is ne�ded, l�ut
not at the exorbitant cost
contemplated in W-1W. As a reQion,

exis�ng FAA rules, 4V-14V will not
pro�zde simultaneous operations
durin� inclement weather conditions
as proponents have claimed. Areal-
time analysis would have accurately
identified these capac'rty issues.
Although W-1 W may be a short-terr_
economic boom, in the long run it
will be a financ�. disaster and
operational disappointrnent, The
�2.6 billion price ta� (probably close:
to �3.5 billion) �vill make Lambert

expansionin history. The new
Denver airport, with �2 square miles
was cons�.icted for less than �'_-
billion—yet is 10 tiznes the size of ai
e�cpanded Lambe�.
tiV 1W will deliver and lock the St.

Make no mistake about it. For thc
sake of the rea on, let us hope
Bridgeton and its allies are success ��
in quashing W 1W.

lna°easet� de�iuc�tions prapo�s3:
State Sen. Tom Neuvilte, R-Nortbf'�eld, wants
to cuE income taxes tay inci�easiag the person-
al and dependent �eductions that all ta�cpayers
csn u:e to reduee, taxable income. �
His bill, introduted ihis wee?c, would
increase the basic'deduciion that Minnesoians
claim for themselves and each of their chil-
dren from '$2,7�0 tA $4,000 a year. The bill
would provide 33d.r4 million a year in taY
relief — maney tli�at Neuville said the state
can afford•becau� of projected revenue
growth. � '•
Neuville said Friday that SOpercent of the
����.relief would �o to middle�class pe�ple
P
(, ling b�twcen �20;000 and $108,000 a year,
1�ne relief would partituiariy �low to families
with children.
Neu�ille, who h�s five ehildren, said it is
oniy fair that farriilies receive t� relief
because inflation over the last several decades ••
has :apped the valus o€ the existitig deduction.
But his proposal is expected to fac� stiff
h3s
resistance in the Minne:ota Iiou:e, where
leader� of the Republican majerity have s3id
they want to cut all three state iacome tax
Tates. Gov. Jessa, Ventura advocates another �
•proposal that �onld c�t the lowe:t of the
thr2e tas Tates. . . .
Under Neuville's ptan, a single person e3rn-
ing �44,000 a year would recei9e a tas cut of
Sl�� a year vs. �123 a year under Ventura's
proposal. A family of four with an income af
�io,400 would sa"ve 5600 with Neuville's le�is-
lation vs. ��12 wi� ttte governar's plan.

A biweekly update on litination, regulations, and technological developments
Volume 11, Number 3
Part 1 � D Program
AIRPORTS I�AVE SPENT $2.4 BII.,LION
ON NOISE P�20JECTS FUNDED BY AIl' G3�ANTS
A total of 266 airports have spent over �2.43 billion on noise mitiaation projects
funded throu�h the federal Airport Improvement Proaram since the proQram was
authorized in 1979, according to FAA data on the pro�am.
In past issues, ANR has detailed the AiP funds used to support the pianning of
AIP-supported noise mitisation projecu, but not the amount airports spent to
implement these projecis. But now data are available from the FAA providin� the
total that each airport participatinQ in the Part 1�0 Airport Noise Compatibility
ProQram has spent for both plannin� and implementation of noise miaQation
projects. These data are included in a table beginnin� on p. 18.
They show that Atlanta's Hartsfield Internarional Airport has received more AIl'
fundina than any other aiport —$239.5 million — to support its noise mitiaation
projects. Atlanta is followed by Lambert-St. Louis International Airport (�140.6
million), Seattle-Tacoma International Airpon ($13�.7 miilion),14iempnis Interna-
tional Air�ort ($87.7 million), Los AnQeles International Airport ($85.9 millien),
Boston Losan International Airport (�78.8 million), Vlinneapolis-St Paul Interna-
tional Airport ($73.3 million), Las Vegas NScCarran International Airport (a712
million), Phoenix Sky Hazbor International Airpon (�62.2 million), and Chicaao
O'Hare International Airport (�61.8 million). V
However, AIP funds are not the only source of funding for airport noise mitisa-
tion projects. Increasin�ly airports are turnina to revenue from Passenser Facility
Charses (PFCs) to finance noise mitisation work. PFCs are head taxes imposed by
individual airports on passengers usina their faciliaes. The FAA has aoproved
plans by 62 airports to collect, well into the future, 51.�8 bilIion in Passense:
Facility Charge (PFC) revenue to support additional noise mitiaation proje�ts (see
10 ANR, p. 185).
If both revenue streams (AIP �rants and PFC revenue) are considered, eioht
airports are planning to spend over $100 million on noise mitigation projecu. Los
Anseles International Airport plans to spend over haif a billion dollars (��26.9
miliion) on its noise mitiQation efforts. LAX is follo�ced by Chicaso O'Harz
International (�326.0 million), Seattle-Tacoma Intzrnational (�2�2.2 miilion),
Atlanta Hartsfield International (�239.� million from �IP funds only), Lamben-St.
Louis International (�22�.� million), Iviinneapolis-St. Paul International (� 190.2
million), Los Verras McCarran Internntional (�16�.�' million). and Cleveland
Hopl:ins International Airpon {� 112.� million).
Look.inQ at noise projects funded solely by .�Il' funds. the FA� data shou that
1 1 airpons have received noise srants totalin� ove: S�0 million. 29 airpons nave
received noise arants totalins between �?�-50 million. 13 airports have received
noise srants totalins between $10-?0 milJion, 48 airpans have received noise
Qrants�totalins bet�veen �1-10 million, and 16� airpors have received noise �?rants
totalins less than �1 million.�

In This Issue...
Part 1�0 Program ... This
issue of ANR �for the first
time includes FAA data
showinQ the total amount of
Airport Improvement Pro-
�ram (AIP) grant funds that
have been used by airports to
support their noise mitigation
projects. Past issues of ANR
have included data on the
amount of AIP grants de-
voted to plannin� noise
mitiQation projects, but not
on the total grant funds used
by airports for both planning
and implementin� their noise
miti�ation projects. This
issue includes those data
They show that a total of
226 airports have spent over
$2.48 billion on noise mitiga-
tion projects funded throuah
the AIP program. Atlanta
Hartsfield International
Airport has received the most
�rant funds for noise mitiga-
tion — �?39.5 million.
But if both fundina sources
for airport noise mitiQation
projects (AIP arants and
PassenQer Facility Charaes)
are considered, Los AnRe!es
International Airport leads
the pact, planning to spend
over 5�00 million on noise
mitiaation projects.
