PAI�T 150 UPDATE
�' � Administrator Batchelder stated that Mr. Roy Fuhrmann, of MAC, and Mr. Evan
- Futterman, HNTB, had provided a briefing to MASAC on the process that will be used to
conduct the Part 150 Study update. He stated that the Part 150 Study Update has been
begun by MAC and is expected to take 15 to 18 months before an application can be
made to the Federal Aviation Administration for another Part 150 program. Batchelder
stated that this Part 150 Study Update is considered MASAC's primary goal for 1999.
Batchelder stated that the briefing at MASAC covered the following items:
a. Part 150 Purpose and Description
b. Noise Measurement and Analysis in the Part 150 Study Process
c. History of MSP Part 150 Program (including 1987 and 1992 projects)
d. Scope of the Currently Identified Issues
e. Discussion of Additional Issues/Concerns to be Addressed in Part 150 Update
f. MASAC Approval of Part 150 Work Scope
g. Preliminary Schedule for the Part 150 Study
Batchelder stated that MASAC had requested that each city respond within 30 days
regarding the scope and schedule for the Part 150 Study. Batchelder stated the
Commission should review our goals for Part 150 and respond to MASAC about
additional issues and concerns that are not already included in the scope of the Part 150
Study Update.

Batchelder stated that MASAC's scheduled evaluation of the Mendota Heights/Eagan
corridor will be folded into the Part 150 Study Update process and there will also be an
evaluation of the Runway Use System due to the need to implement procedures for the
new Runway 17-35. Batchelder stated that other operational considerations such as Non-
Simultaneous Departures, Noise Abatement Departure Profiles, and Head-to-Head
operations will be evaluated, as well. He stated a new Part 150 LDN 65 Noise Contour
would be produced for the study update.
Chair Scott Beaty stated he was concerned that MASAC's scheduled evaluation of the
Mendota Heights/Eagan corridor might be "watered down" if it is included in the Part
150 Study Update process. Chair Beaty stated Mendota Heights should be on guard that
the corridor analysis is not lost in the Part 150 Process. Chair Bea±y stated that the Close-
In departures should be included in the scope of the analysis.
Batchelder stated that Mayor Mertensotto had requested that the Cornmission consider
requesting that the night time hours restricted to Stage III aircraft be rolled back from the
current 10:30 p.m. to 6 a.m. time period to 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. The Commission was of a
consensus that this should be part of the Part 150 request.
Chair Beaty stated our guiding principle on air noise was the equitable operations of the
� � airport, that all airport communities share in the benefits of close proximity to MSP and
_. that ail communities should, therefore, share in the burden of air tr�c over their
communities. Beaty stated the Runway Use System should be fully implemented to
include up to twenty percent (20%) departures off of Runway 4/22 to relieve the buxden
on the parallel runways, as called for in the Runway Use System, but never implemented.
Chair Beaty also stated Runway 4/22 should be used to eliminate head-to-head operations
late at night on the parallel runways.
Commissioner John Roszak stated the Part 150 Study should reaffirrn the runway
percentages for the new Runway 17/35 that were used in the MSP 2010 Comprehensive
Plan when the Dual Track decision was made at the Legislature. Roszak stated that these
same runway use percentages were used in the Final Environmental Impact Statement
(FEIS) for the Runway 17/35. The Commission was of a consensus that the Runway Use
System should be updated to maintain and reaffirm the runway use percentages, as
described in the MSP 2010 Comprehensive Plan and the FEIS.
Commissioner Joe Leuman stated that the data generated by the MSP Airport
Noise/Aviation Monitoring System (ANOMS) should be used to generate the new noise
contour.
Chair Beaty stated the existing Runway Use System should be revised to not have the
Mendota Heights/Eagan corridor as the primary, preferred route of departure. The
�• __. � Commission discussed the RUS preference that is based on land use compatibility.
�� ���
, ,,�,.�� �
��
�.
Batchelder stated that in conversations with Mayor Mertensotto they had discussed how
land use compatibility is not equitable when an airport sits in the middle of a fully
developed urban area and that the notion of land use compatibility from the 1980's had
been destroyed by increased operations and capacities at MSP to the point that the
corridor had been overrun and air traffic is now over long established residential areas of
the city.
Commissioner Stein stated the Part 150 Study Update should include the possible
acquisition of severely impacted neighborhoods, as had the original study.
The Commission discussed the use of incentives/disincentives for noisier airplanes after
the implementation of the Stage III requirements on December 31, 1999. The
Commission discussed higher landing fees, or sliding scale fees, for air carriers with true
manufactured Stage III aircraft, as opposed to Stage III hush-kitted aircraft.
The Commission also discussed Noise Abatement Departure profiles, Corridor definition
and compliance issues, and Non-Simultaneous Deparh.ues. The Commission felt that the
Low-Frequency Study being conducted for Richfield should have recomrnendations that
encompass all airport communities.
� Commissioner Greg Fitzer stated the Part 150 Study Update should consider whether
�___ tower orders can be given in specific ground tracks instead of magnetic headings. Fitzer
stated that this would be a benefit of the new Differential Global Positioning Satellites
(DGPS) systems. Fitzer stated this would eliminate wind drift and would have the effect
of keeping air traffic inside the designated corridor. The Commission feit the Study
Update should consider whether the corridor can be nanowed if DGPS allows less than
the currently required fifteen degrees (15 °) separation divergence.
The Commission reviewed the Mendota Heights Airport Plan of Action for inclusion in
possible comments on the scope of the Part 150 Study Update.
The Commission directed staff to respond to MASAC by incorporating their discussion
on the scope of the Part 150 Study Update into a letter.
RUNWAY RECONSTRUCTION
Batchelder stated that the construction scheduled for the South Parallel Runway, Runway
12R/30L was to begin on April 5, 1999 and the primary difference in traffic patterns
would be the increased use of Runway 4/22, the Crosswind Runway, for trafFic that
would normally use the southern parallel.
NORTI�[ERN I)AKOTA COUNTY AIRPORT RELATIONS COALITION

Batchelder stated that the Northern Dakota County Airport Relations Coalition
(NDCARC) would meet on March 23, 1999 at Mendota Heights City Hall. Batchelder
stated this group would begin meeting on bi-monthly basis and that its primary goals are
to continue dialogue between the airport communities in Dakota County, to host an
annual meeting for Airport Relations Commissions and to act jointly on important airport
issues that each community agrees on. Chair Beaty stated NDCARC would be most
efFective if it concentrated on something that it could achieve, as opposed to trying to
react to every airport issue.

AIRPORT RELATIONS COlVIlVIISSION
APRIL 14,1999
The regular meeting of the Mendota. Heights Airport Relations Commission was held on
Wednesday, April 14, 1999, in the Lower Level Conference Room, 1101 Victoria Curve. The
meeting was called to order at 7:25 p.m. The following members were present: Roszak and
Stein. Commissioners Beaty, Des Roches, Fitzer, Leuman and May were absent. A1so present
was City Administrator Batchelder.
.�_.''_�1 .:-- �- 11
The minutes of Mazch 10, 1999 were not approved due to lack of a quorum.
City Administrator Batchelder briefly reported on the following:
Corridor Crossing Report: The Corridor Crossing Report is completed and a procedure�in
place for air tra�fic controllers to practice non-simultaneous departures. The report shows a
significant improvement during nighttirrie operations with fewer corridor crossings. A follow-up
- request will be submitted to.MAC for the City to receive updated reports on a regular basis.
�,�' _�,,� . .
�� Part 150 Update Study: At the May meeting, a report will be presented to the Cornmission
from MAC on the compilation of all requests pertain.ing to the Part 150 Update Study. MAC
plans to complete the study within 15 to 18 months. As Mendota Heights City issues are
incorporated into this study, there is some concern that they will beco�ne obscured, particularly
the evaluation of the Southeast corritc�or. -
Commissioner Roszak noted that the aviation activity forecasts are to be based on dual track
process forecasts and the percentages are not listed. He recommended that a map be attached
showing percentages for each runway, as E�iibit 1 to the document. The document. should also
refer to anticipated changes described in the MSP 2010 Comprehensive Plan.
MAC/City of Minneapolis Agreement: Minneapolis has signed an agreement with MAC.
Staff will compare the Mendota Heights agreement to the one with Minneapolis. Language
change recommendations will be reported to the Commission.
�
New Member: Commissioner Stein asked for an update on the process of finding a new
Commission member. Administrator Batchelder stated that advertisements were placed in the
Sun Current and Southwest Review. The application deadline is the end of April. It is his hope
that the City Council will hold interviews May 4, so that a new appointment can be made prior to
the next Commission meeting.

Subject: Unfinished and New Business for April Meeting
DISCUSSION
Thank you for allowing the regular monthly meeting to be rescheduled from May 12,
1999 until May 19, 1999. Last month, there was not a quorum for the meeting and the March
10, 1999 minutes have been carried over for this month, as well as the April 14, 1999 minutes.
This memo will cover the agenda items for Unfinished and New Business and Updates.
1. Discuss PART 150 U�date - In early April, MAC staff and HNTB hosted an Agency
and City Scoping Meeting to review the draft Scope of Work for the Part 150 Study
Update process. The PART 150 Update has begun and is expected to take 15 to 18
months, with the finished product an application to the FAA for another Part 150
project. This project has been identified as MASAC's primary goal for 1999.
Prior to this meeting, MASAC had requested that each community draft comments on
the "scope" of work that the Part 150 Process should study. With the help of the
Commission, the City of Mendota Heights submitted a letter to MASAC. (Please see
MASAC packet for Apri130, 1999 that includes each communities response.)
The evaluation of the Mendota Heights/Eagan corridor will be folded into the Part 150
Update process and there will also be an evaluation of the Runway Use System due to
the need to implement procedures for the new Runway 17-35. Other operational
considerations such as Non-Simultaneous Departures, Noise Abatement Departure
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 program.
In May, the MASAC Operations Committee was to discuss contour generation for the
Part 150 Siudy Update. (Please see Apri19, 1999 Minutes of MASAC Operations for
discussion on Integrated Noise Modeling and contour generation.) The discussion in
May was intended to focus on the "rounding off" of contours, as suggested during the
1996 MSP/Mayor's Mitigation Study.
2. Crossing in the Corridor - Second Studv - MAC staff presented the second six month
study of the Non-Simultaneous Departure Procedures at MSP. (Each Commissioner
received a bound, colored copy in their April Agenda and they have not been recopied
for this meeting. If an additional copy is needed, please contact myself or Linda
Shipton.) I will be prepared to discuss the findings and compare this study to the �rst
six month study.
��.
1. Resolution on Reliever Air�orts - Enclosed please find a copy of the staff cover memo
and the resolution that was adopted by City Council on May 4, 1999 to address a
legislative issue. Mounds View and Eden Prairie were supporting legislation that
would restrict MSP's ability to move general aviation over to the reliever airports, by
restricting their runway lengths. This contradicts the 1996 Dual Track legislation and
the Metropolitan Council's regional aviation plan. The City Council desired to support
MAC's opposition to this legislation.
2. Air�ort Action Plan - Annually, in June, the Commission begins the work to update
the Airport Plan of Action.

To: Mayor and City Council
From: Kevin Batchelder, City Ad ' or
Subject: Consider Resolution on Reliever Airports
DISCUSSION
On Tuesday, Apri127, 1999, Mr. Jeff Hamiel, Executive Director of MAC, reported to
the Metropolitan Aircraft Sound Abatement Council (MASAC) that current legislation is being
supported by communities surrounding the region's reliever airports that would impact air
tra�c at MSP International Airport. Apparently, this legislation would prevent general
aviation from being moved off of MSP to the region's reliever airports. This movement of
general aviation from MSP to the reliever airports was part of Dual Track Study conclusions
and was one of the reasons the Legislature voted to keep MSP open in the Dual Track final
decisions made in 1996.
In addition to the Dual Track decisions, the Metropolitan Council's Aviation Guide
Plan directs MAC to develop plans to divert the m�imum feasible number of general aviation
operations from MSP to the reliever airports. The currently proposed legislation would
overrule this mandate, as well.
MAC has asked the MSP communities to consider a resolution opposing this
legislation, as it would severely restrict their ability to move general aviation off of MSP and
meet their plans for the development and operation of MSP, through their 2010 Comprehensive
Plan. MAC has provided a fact sheet on this issue. (Please see attached.)
Due to time restrictions this week, a resolution has not yet been prepared for Council
consideration. However, a resolution will be made available on Monday for your
consideration on Tuesday evening.
Consider the proposed resolution that will be available Monday, and, if the Council so
desires, pass a motion adopting the proposed resolution to forward to our legislative
contingent.

Metropolitan Airports Commission
Reliever Airports Legislation
February 19, 1999
• In concluding the seven-year Dual Track Airport Planning Process, the 1996
Legislature determined that a new airport would not be built and directed the
Metropalitan Airports Commission (MAC) to expand the Minneapolis-St. Paul
International Airport (MSP) at its present site. The Legislature and Governor
determined that an expanded MSP could accommodate the region's demand for air
travel through the year 2010.
• As part of the Dual Track decision, the Legislature also mandated that the MAC
maximize the use of the metropolitan reliever airport system. The Metropolitan
Council's Aviatfon Policy Plan directs MAC to develop plans to divert the
mazimum feasible number of general aviation operations from MSP to the
reliever airports.
Seven airports in the area have been designated by the Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) as reliever airports for MSP. The reliever airports are St. Paul
Downtown, Flying Cloud, Airlake, Lake Elmo, Anoka County-Blaine, Crystal, and
South St. Paul. The FAA designation applies if an airport helps to relieve airport
congestion in a metropolitan area by providing general aviation users with attractive
alternatives to the major scheduled passenger airport and increases access to the
airports for general aviation uses. To adequately fulfill their role within a
metropolitan area, reliever airports must provide facilities and services for general
aviation comparable to general aviation provisions at the commercial airport they
relieve, i.e., MSP.
In 1997, the MAC system of airports accounted for 1.3 million aircraft
operations. Nearly two-thirds of those operations occurred on the retiever
airports. MSP had 491,273 operations and the reliever airport system had
729,024 operations.
• Some reliever airports, including Anoka County-Blaine and Flying Cloud, will need
to be expanded consistent with their designated role in the future to meet the long-
term aviation needs of the region.
• A.ir traffic operations at Flying Cloud Airport are expected to continue to increase as
the community and surrounding areas continue to grow and prosper. The proposed
runway expansion for Flying Cloud Airport will allow MAC to properly divert
business and private aircraft from MSP to increase the efficiency and enhance safety
of the entire airport system. The MAC is presently in the environmental impact study
phase of this expansion project.
• The proposed runway extensions for the Anoka County-Blaine Airport will enhance '
the use of the airport for the types of aircra$ presently using the facility and will �
provide a more equitable use of the north-south and east-west runway system.
Although the St. Paul Downtown Airport has the capacity to accommodate more
takeoffs and landings, it does not have room to accommodate the projected need for
metropolitan-area based aircraft. Presently, MAC is developing 10 additional hangar
sites for corporate aircraft at St. Paul. MAC has four corporations that have already
expressed an interest in these sites. After these sites are filled, St. Paul Downtown
Airport will not be able to accommodate additional hangar development due to its
physical constraints next to the river and downtown.
+ According to a 1999 Metropolitan Council economic impact study, the region's
smaller general aviation airports add $1.4 billion in economic activity each year to the
Twin Cities economy. They also support 4,500 jobs at the airports and in businesses
as a spin oi�from general aviation activity.
Planning and Environmental Review Process Required to Implement Major
Projects at MAC Reliever Airports
Metropolitan Council prepares the Aviation Chapter of the Metropotitan Development
Guide
The chapter defines the functional and operational characteristics of the reliever airports, including
runway length. It also includes guidelines for acceptable ]and uses in specified aircraft noise
contours.
The Aviation Chapter is subject to public review and public hearrng(s) prior to adoption.
2. MAC prepares a Long-Term Comprehensive Plan (LTCP) for each reliever airport.
The plan includes forecasts of future airport activity and needed airport projects consistent with the
functional and operational characteristics in the Aviation Chapter of the Metropolitan Development
Guide. The LTCP must address social, economic and environmental issues and compatibility with
community systems.
The LTCP is subject to public revrew and a public hearing prior to adoption by MAC.
3. The LTCP is submitted to the Metropolitan Council for review and approval.
The LTCP is distributed to affected cities, which are invited to present comments and testimony at
Metropolitan Council committee meetings prior to the Coz{ncil 's determination of consistency with
the Aviation Chapter of the Metropolitan Development Guide.
The Council can suspend the LTCP if found inconsistent and return the LTCP to MAC to be revised
and resubmitted to the Council.
4. MAC prepares an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for major projects (e.g.,
runway extension) in the approved LTCP.
MAC prepares a Scoping document specifying the issues, impacts and alternatives proposed for
analysis in the EIS.
The Scoping document is drstribt�ted for public and agency review and comment, and a public
hearing is held.
MAC responds to comments and adopts the Scoping Decision.
MAC prepares a Draft EIS that discloses the social, economic and environmental impacts of each
alternative, including no action, and measures that could mitigate adverse impacts.
The Draft EIS is distributed for public and agency review and comment, and a public hearing is held.
MAC responds to comments and prepares a Final EIS.
The Final EIS is distribt�ted for public and ngency review nnd comment.
MAC responds to comments and determines that the Final EIS is adequate.
Any person or jurisdiction may appeal MAC 's determination within 30 days in distrrct court.
5. The Metropolitan Council notifies affected cities of changes to the airport and if there
are modifications needed in their comprehensive plans to be consistent with the LTCP.
The cities discuss the proposed rnodifications with the Council, update/revise their comprehensive
plan, and subrnit it to the Council for approval.
6. MAC prepares a Capital Improvement Plan including the LTCP projects and submits
it to the Metropolitan Council for review.
The Council must approve any reliever airport project with costs over $2 million.

STAFF COMMENTS OF THE CITY OF MINNEAPOLIS
ON THE MINNEAPOLIS-ST. PAUL INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT
FEDERA.L AVIATION REGULATIONS (FAR) PART 150 UPDATE
DRAFT SCOPE OF WORK
APRIL,1999
The Staff of the City of Minneapolis is pleased to submit comments and suggestions to
the Metropolitan Airports Commission relating to the scope of the Federal Aviation
Regulations (FAR) Part 150 Update. It is hoped that this update will provide policy
direction and an implementation strategy for meaningful noise reduction around the
Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport in the coming years.
In keeping with the spirit of the Part 150 process which seeks to identify the extent of a
noise problem around an airport and to develop a program to mitigate that noise, the City
of Minneapolis stresses that neighborhood integrity is the bedrock for Minneapolis
to remain a strong City and that all plans must respect, value, and enhance this fact.
1) Ace�ra+tP No:s� �'xpmse�re 1VIa�: A ke;r priority for the Part l�Q update is the
definition of a true and accurate Noise Exposure Map that does not minimize the
extent or intensity of the noise problem. To this end the City of Minneapolis
recommends:
. that all DNL inputs be validated using current data from the ANOMS system. The
City recognizes and supports the MAC's commitment to do so.
�
. . that the credibility of the noise modeling process in the community be enhanced
by making it more apparent, with emphasis placed on highlighting the
� assumptions that go along with the quantitative data in the modeling process.
Communities should be given the opportunity to comment on the subjective
modeling inputs prior to completion of the Noise Exposure Map.
. that the practice of `squaring off blocks -declaring a whole block eligible if a
contour cuts through it- continue. The City commends the Part 150 program's use
of that definition in the past.
that a further refinement in noise contour modeling be approved to include
neighborhood boundaries as a legitimate criteria for squaring off contour lines.
These boundaries follow natural geographic elements and manmade barriers, and
serve as a logical basis for program boundaries that should be factored into Part
150 program implementation.
For example, people in south Minneapolis living between the two peaks of the
DNL lines find it incomprehensible that they are not be eligible for sound
insulation when neighbors a block away on either side of them are having their
homes retrofitted. The same is true for people living one block south of
Minnehaha Creek, which acts as a neighborhood boundary, who have difficulty

Mayor Charles Mertensotta
MASAC Chair
6G�0 28th Avenue South
Minneapolis, ivfl`7 ��4�0
Dear Mayor �Zertensotto:
The City of ivlendota Heights submits its comments on the scope of the MSP's Part 1 �0 Study
Update, pzr the request of the Metropolitan Aircraft Sound t�batement Council (MASAC). The
scope of. the study update should include the following: �
1. Ec�u.ii�� of the ��istina Runwav Use Svstem - The present n�nway use syst�m is
inequitable as it is predicated on the enoneous application of land use coinpati�ilit;%
,E theories. This runway use system ��vill need to be ugdated with the cor�struction oF the
Runwa� 17-3� and this provides an opportu.*uty to eliminaie the c�,2rrent inequitable
operation of the MSP airport. ,
a. The RUS ca11s for the use of the crosswind rur.way, up to 20% of the time durin�
the daytime, to relieve the burden on the paraliel runways. Tfus has not occurred
as prescribed and the result is an over-reliance on the southeast corridor.
b. Head-to-Head Operations requires the divergence of departures over residential_
areas of Mendota Heights, often ciurin� the nijht time quiet hours. This reduces
tne eiiectivcness ui th� recently �slaoiished nai-srir�uiianeous deFar�ure
procedures. Rerouting of inbound traffic or modification of head-to-head
operational procedures should be adopted so that non-simultaneous departures
will keep departing tra�c in the center of the comdor.
c. The priority assigned to the Southeast Corridor in the RUS is inequitable and
should be re-examined. The RUS erroneously relies on "land use compatibility"
as a Quiding principle for primary, heavy use of the So�`:.*,heast Corridor. Due to
the increase in capacity and operations at MSP, greater volumes and heavier
percentages of aircraft traffic now depart and arrive in the corridor. As a result,
the air noise cor�tours and the Metrapolitan Councii noise zanes ha��e expane�ed
'� into residential areas long considered compatible. The south�ast corridor has not
confined aircraft to compatible land use areas, but has given lice:�se to the
1101 `lictoria Cuxve • Meaadota Heights, MN • 55118 �(612) 452-1850 � FAX 452-8940
Metropolitan Airports Commission to send ever increasinQ air traffic over
residential areas of Mendota Heights. The ever increasina amolmt of traffic �
cannot be physically or �perationally confined to ttie corridor and, in fact,
constantly spills over into incompatible land use �u-eas.
d. The review of the RUS should include a re�rmation of projected percentages of
runway use under the 2010 Comprehensive Plan, as presented to the Minnesota
State Lesislature and as contained in the Final Environmental Impact Staternent.
2. Review of Southeast Corridor - The original intent and purpose of the Southeast
Corridor has been overwhelmed by increases in capacity and air traffic at the MSP. The
Part 150 Update should address fhe followinc:
i�t ,�^»'�'.;l;.uT.�.`?�'_-Iiiy irrraft {,tr��r?tiOI1_5 �i':���l,rl �}{, rrt_?intain�r� �nc;M1P 3 Ca�o:c:" :��C�
. . i' -.. .. -- -_.' ..,
southeast corridor based on ANOMS generated contours.
b. Continuously util�e a.l� available technological_ �mprovements includipj
navigational aids, DGPS, and standard instrument departure procedures to narrow
the southeast corridor to iestrict overflights to commerciaUindustrial zoned land
use areas.
c. With the shift in maanetic headings, tower orders need to be reviewed for
compliance with the corridor's original intent. ;''�
d. Subject to narrowin� the corridor as noted above, consider implementation of the
09� ° northern boundary recommended by the Blue Ribbon Task Force.
e. The corridor is inequitably hinged to the north and the Part 150 Update should
consider a more symmetrical corridor confiauratiun consistent with the ever
increasing operational activity at MSP.
f. Alternative departure profiles should be reconsidered. Altitude analysis should be
SttiC�iP.C� tn �IptP*-mirP a, i,r�raft p�qXi.iTi71y t0 �r'J�?T1L� �"Ve?s st increment�l_ c3istan�Ps
for varyin� types of' aircraft. Departure procedures should be re-evaluated as part
of tlus vertical departure analysis.
g. Five mile final arrival procedures should be maintained to best utilize the existing
compatible land use areas within and beyond the e:�isting Southeast corridor.
3. Air�ort Operations - Airport operations should be adjusted to provide for increased
noise abatement opportunities including the follotiving:
a. Niahttime restrictions should be imposed that speciry only "manufactured" Stage
III aircraft after 10 p.m. until6 a.m. The use �f incentives/disincentives should be �''
considered including hiaher landin� fees for noisier airplane types after 10 p.m. �
�
b. Through the use of DGPS, around track assicrunents should be used for departing
and arrivin� aircraft instead of headin�s.
A run up enclosure pad should be considered to reduce airport arou,*�d noise.
Other areas of ground noise should be identified and miti�ation/abatement
activities undertaken. Low frequency siudy issues should be applied to all airport
communities, not just those in proximity of Run�vay 17/35.
Noise Measurement - ANOMS data should be used to the greatest eYtent possible for the
generation of the 2005 LDN noise contours.
Land LTse O._.�aortunit��s - The study updates should �:ddress the fc�llo�,7ng:
a.
0
c.
The acquisition of severely impacted neiahborhoods, homes, and other
incompatible land uses should remain in the updated program.
Land use compatibility should not be overemphasized as a primary directive for
departure direction.
Zand use compatibility is ineffective for an inner city airport bounded by fully
developed municipalities.
Boundaries of elijibility for Part 150 Sound Insulation sliould not divide
neighborhoods. More equitable boundaries based on actual noise impacts need to
give way to the subjective assumptions used to gener•ate INM contours.
The City of Mendota Heights thanks the 1�Ietropolitan Airports Commission for this opportunity
to make suggestions and have comments on the scope of the Part 1�0 Study Update. We look
forward to cooperating with the MAC, the FAA, and all the neiahboring communities, durin�
this process. y

On behalf of the Eagan Airport Relations Commission, thank you for the opportunity to provide
comment on the Part 150 Study update being conducted by the Metropolitan Airports
Commission. We strongly support the partnered approach of the communities and the airpon
operators and users in defining a noise program that continues the many successful efforts to
miti�ate adverse noise impacts as MAC looks to grow the Minnesota economy without doing so
at the expense of the airport's neighbors.
The following comments incorporate past positions the City of Eagan has advocated as well as
new requests that we feel should improve the future impacts our community experiences. If
nothing else, our suggestions will improve the informatian we are able to provide our residents.
We hope that MAC, MASAC, and other interested parties understand the significance our
decisions today will have in making Eagan and other airport-impacted communities a better
place to live in the years to come. To that end, we strongiy recommend the following items be
adopted in the Part 150 Stud}% update:
• Extensive noise monitoring must be done in areas of southwest Eagan that will be impacted
during the 1999 reconstruction of Runway 12R/30L. The diversion of departures to Runway
22 during this period will have an enormous impact on areas south of the Minnesota River,
especially in the neighborhoods near the intersection of TH 77 and 13.
The summer of 1999 will be the best opportunity for residents in southwest Eagan to evaluate
how the new noise impact of Runway 17/35 will affect them. Similarly, it will be the onlv
opportunity for MAC and MASAC to utilize actual information specific to the impact area to
extrapolate future noise conditions. If the City reasonably expects to share with its
community what they may expect in the future, this information is vital.
Understandably, these comments are provided only days before the traffic diversion plan is to
be implemented. This recommendation, albeit a short-term issue, has dramatic implications
for the long-term and must be given the utmost priority.

An update to the Part 150 Study needs to include site location analysis for new ANOMS �
remote monitoring towers in southwest Eagan. The future inter-relatedness of the ANOMS �.
system with development of a new noise contour map will rely on the level of detail that
ANOMS is capable of providing. Furthermore, the installation of these towers must be
completed no later than 2002 so that at least one full year's data is collected at the pre-
existing ambient noise levels.
The noise baseline for southwest Eagan must be established because this is a new noise
impact area. Mitigative approaches for the dramatic DNL increase likely to be experienced
as a result of air traffic must be given full consideration. It is not enough to simply use the
60 DNL as a boundary for sound insulation or other noise attenuation programs. The
Metropolitan Airports Commission must consider that an increase of nearly 15 dB (from
ambient levels of roughly 45 DNL to just below 60 DNL) will equate to as much as a tripling
of the noise.
• The Runway Use System must re-affirm the commitment of head-to-head operations in the
Mendata Heights-Eagan corridor during nighttime hours. This is the best available option for
minimizing the impact on residential populations surrounding the airport during normal sleep
hours. Further; the RUS should strictly forbid use ofRunway 17/35 during nighttime hours
unless climatic conditions necessitate its use.
• The Final EIS identified three flight tracks for southerly and easterly departures off Runway
17 that will have a dramatic impact on the residential populations of Eagan. As MAC and
MASAC are well aware, the City of Eagan has zoned our community to minimize airport- {�,,
incompatible land uses. We could not have foreseen at the time that a new runway would
invalidate those efforts.
The Part 150 Study update should include a review of flight track headings that eliminates
the 100° and 160° headings. A flight management system that localizes all departures on the
170° heading should be implemented. Ideally, once departure tr�c has reached the
Minnesota River Valley, FA.A would utilize GPS to position all departures in a corridor that
would over-fly Trunk Highway 77 to a gate located roughly at the intersection of TH77 and
I-35E before allowing turnout: This "Cedar Conidor" would be for operations with ultimate
destinations of 0-180° compass headings.
Such use of a new corridor will minimize the number of residential properties impacted in
the City of Eagan and remains consistent with zoning principles to which our community
attempts to adhere. The technology is available to implement this type of precision flight
management system.
Speaking at the 1999 International Airport Noise Symposium, the program director of the
FAA Office of Airspace Management, John Walker, said that the use of technically advanced
flight management systems will provide one of the best tools to address airport noise issues.
He also said communities should take the initiative in deciding where precision noise
abatement flight tracks should be located rather than wait for the FAA to deterrriine them in
the future as a part of the National Airspace redesign. The benefits will come much sooner to {,

those communities that take the initiative. Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport should
be in the forefront of application of new technologies for noise abatement. -
Finally, an update to the Part 150 Study must revisit the recommendations of the MSP
Community Stabilization Work Group. There are a number of provisions that have the
potential for creating very positive outcomes to a negative catalyst, at least from an impacted
community's perspective. Extending the sound insulation program into the 1-mile buffer
zone surrounding the 60 DNL is one possibility that immediately comes to mind. However,
there are more options than direct mitigation activity by MAC.
Because Eagan is not immediately adjacent to the layout of 17/35 does not mean that the
runway's impacts will not be severe. Recall that in communities far removed from the airport
proper in Denver, complaints regarding new noise from DIA were numerous. By comparison,
the residents of southwest Eagan will be just over 3 miles from the end of the runway and less
than '/4 mile outside the 60 DNL. We have the opportunity to do some good things for those
folks who will experience new noise. Let's do it together.
Thank you for your efforts and commitment to date. We look forward to working with you.
Sincerely,

Mr. Roy Fuhrmann

6040 — 28th Avenue South
Minneapolis, MN 55450
Dear Mr. Fuhrmann:
The City of Richfield appreciates the opportunity to comment on the proposed draft scope
project to update the FAR Part 150 study for the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport
(MSP). Richfield is pleased to submit the following comments at this time, and may provide
additional comments at the meeting scheduled for April 8, 1999.
Gen�tal �ommer.�s
Richfield believes that the Part 150 update must be considerably more open to public inquiry
and comments than the draft scope of work suggests. In particular, Richfield requests that
the detailed information collected during the course of the update be made available for
public inspection as it is accumulated, rather than after it has been analyzed and
summarized by the Metropolitan Airports Commission's (MAC's) consultant. Prompt and
timely access to such detailed information is requested (including specifics of noise modeling
assumptions; historical flight track information; spreadsheets and databases summarizing
runway use, delay and similar operational information; airport activity assumptions and
forecasts; noise monitoring information, etc.) for meaningful public participation in the Part
150 process. Richfield suggests that this information be made available via the Internet, or
at least in documented digital formats upon request.
In addition, Richfield believes that the Part 150 update study should provide a useful forum
for planning to improve the scope and timeliness of MAC's aircraft noise complaint service.
This service should routinely provide information about runway use and air traffic patterns
prior to the time of complaints. Consistent with maintenance of confidentiality of individual
complainants, complaint information should also be made public in a manner that permits
independent statistical analyses of complaint rates, types, spatial densities, times of
complaint, and other aggregate properties of complaints.
Specific Comments
The numbering of the following comments corresponds with that of the draft scope of work.
Please clarify: 1) why MSP believes that expansion of the residential sound
insulation program mandated by the Minnesota legislature "must be addressed in the
Part 150 Update Study" -- this needs to be completed regardless of FAA's approval
and/or money; and 2) the full specifics, all input assumptions, and the INM version to
be used to create the noise model that will be used to predict the DNL 60 noise
contour that defines geographic areas eligible for sound insulation.

Since Richfield is particularly concerned with sideline noise from ground operations
on Runway 17/35, we require assurance that the aircraft noise exposure contours to
be used to identify geographic areas eligible for mitigation �eflect the best available
technology at the time that the noise insulation program is undertaken, not a
prediction of an obsolete earlier release of INM.
2. Please clarify 1) whether the analysis of low frequency noise effects to be undertaken
for the Part 150 Update encompasses any effort other than that specified in the
�agreement between Richfield and. MAC; and 2) MAC's understanding of whether
adverse interior vibration levels" (as opposed to secondary acoustic emissions
induced by airborne low frequency noise energy) are a pre-requisite for mitigation.
5. The scope of the effort to develop noise abatement departure procedures for Runway
17 (as further described in item 11) should be expanded to include minimizing noise
exposure created in Richfield, and to developing noise abatement procedures for
ground operations on the same runway, including minimal use of thrust reversers and
limiting departure queue lengths. .
8. The scope of this effort should be expanded to include routine, multi-site monitoring
of low frequency aircraft noise levels in the one-third octave bands between 25 and
80 Hz, inclusive, as by the use of Larson-Davis Model 875 (in addition to or in place
ofl Model 870 noise monitors. The scope of this effort should also be expanded to i; �
indicate the analyses to be undertaken, the uses to be made of the information
collected by the new noise monitors, and the manner in which this information will be
made accessible to the public in near-real time.
9. Runway use information must not only be monitored, but also made available to the
public in a manner. that permits independent.audit and verification.
Task 1.2
Clarification is requested of the parties to be interviewed and those with whom interviews will
be conducted, and of the form in which the information collected in these interviews will be
documented and made public.
Task 1.2.2
The technical memorandum generated in this task should not be reviewed, revised, and
agreed upon solely by "MAC Environmental Department and FAA ATCT", but also by airport
vicinity communities. Richfield requests early distribution of the detailed flight track
information assembled in this task, in documented computer-compatible file formats, so that
the information can be independently analyzed as part of the public participation process.
Task 1.2.3
Richfield requests that MACs consultant meet with Don Brauer, Richfield's Planning
Consultant, to gain a detailed understanding of Richfield's runway sideline noise-related
redevelopment plans.
__ {
Mr. Roy Fuhrmann
Aprii 6, 1999

Task 2.2
The assumed "open house" and "station" formats for public meetings may prove to be
difficult when conveying the large amounts of detailed information required for independent
verification and analysis of information collected in the course of the Part 150 process. As
noted in Richfield's general comments, use of the Internet or other forms of public access to
digital files of information is essential to informed public participation in the Part 150 process.
Task 2.3
The notification and camment periods for public review of draft documents produced under
the Pa�t 150 process are insufficient unless the detailed information on which the documents
have been based had been made available for public review and independent analysis
during the course of their preparation.
Task 3.2.1
Richfield requests clarification of the phrase "as appropriate" with respect to review of land
use compatibility criteria. In what manner will federal guidelines be adjusted to reflect local
decisions about land use compatibility; what "other factors" will be reviewed; how will
"compatibility criteria" reflect airport activities that are compatible with existing and planned
community development?
Element 4. Forecasts
Richfield reiterates its prior comments on the necessity for prompt and timely public access
` to aviation demand forecasting information, in a notable amount of time prior to summary
presentation of such information in draft documents prepared as part of the Part 150
process. •
Task 4.1
The scope of this task must explicitly include conduct of a worst case (maximum airport
capacity) analysis regardless of the timing and economic plausibility of the scenario. This
worst case analysis should include alternatives based on foreseeable capacity enhancement
measures, such as improvements in en �oute air traffic management, improved navigational
aids, land and hold short procedures, etc. Experience with prior unreliable projections of
future aviation demand and analyses of departure delays indicate that uncertainty about such
matters cannot be credibly treated merely by case study and argument. A maximum
capacity scenario reveals the only credible upper limit on aircraft noise impacts in
communities surrounding MSP.
Element 7. Recommendations
Task 7.2.2
Specific analysis of redevelopment plans (and other land use compatibility concerns)
developed in response to anticipated runway sideline noise in eastern Richfield is requested.
Task 7.3
Meaningful participation in the preparation of the draft Noise Compatibility Program working
papers requires early and continuous distribution of preliminary drafts, and briefings to an
�` audience that also includes community representatives.

Element 10. Summary and Informational Materials
Richfield believes that brochures and presentations prepared to provide "MAC with material
for NCP publicity" purposes should not be included in the federally funded Part 150 process.
Material of this sort, prepared for admitted post hoc public relations purposes after critical
information has been collected, assumptions have been made, analyses designed and
conducted, and technical reports prepared, does not further participation in meaningful
decision making under Part 150.
Thank you for your attention to these comments. Richfield appreciates your cooperation in
acting upon our requests.

Dear Chairman Mertensotto:
Thank you for the opportunity to express any additional comments
regarding MSP's Part 150 Study Update. I aligned my following
comments with the handouts provided by Mr_ Fuhrman:
• Page 5(Land Use) I have a concern about the intent of this
sect��!� �n� ins+e��+ ef c�rr:�a+�b1e la^� ;.as� ��6�g e: Qc���, th�
airport continues to expand as it encroaches more toward the
residential. Case in point: removal of the gold course "buffer zone"
and instead of building compatible land uses, installing a new
runway. We need to begin establishing a stronger buffer zone of
commercial, light industry and office around the airport.
• Is there a way we can limit the number of planes per hour, seeing
as this is a significant complaint in addition to the loudness of the
planes. I think we are moving toward controlling the loudness; we
need to start addressing the next level of complaints.
• Strongly favor the nighttime ban on commercial flights. The way 1
see it, a new runway was approved to handle some increase.
Repairs and runway extensions were approved to additionally
handle increased traffic. We should not have to give up our needed
nighttime relaxation also to handle any projected trafiFc increase in
the next decade ... even though they are stage III compliant! We
owe that the to the neighboring residents around the airport.
• If there is to be a nighttime restricted hours, I think a 10 PM to 7 AM
(11 PM to 8 am on weekends) would make more sense: children,
school age and younger typically are in bed 9-10 PM getting the
needed rest for school. Senior cifizens and hardworking adults also
begin to "wind down" about this time too.

• Why the need for nighttime run up policy? Can't there be a
nighttime curtew for this activity? If the answer is no, then I highly
recommend the latest technological shields and orientation of the
shields to promote the maximum quiet benefits to the
neighborhoods.
• Frankly, I have never been in favor of Soundproofing homes as I
see this as bandaging the problem. It also makes the residents a
prisoner of their homes because as soon as they step outdoors for �
a bbq, exterior maintenance or any outdoor activity, then the
problem is still there. I have always seen two options: relocate the
airport in an area AWAY from the residents (proposal killed) or

and maintain a strong buffer zone in its place. However, I do
support this program IF ifi is acceptable to the current residents.
However, I do think this is bad policy on the planning dept.'s part
because they responding to a group of individuals instead of taking
the lead in "planning " a community and all of its residents, both
commercial and residential. ;'��
s Investigate additional uses for the remote noise monitors after the
demise of the Stage II aircraft use on December 31, 1999. So
what if we have 5 more additional monitors. Aren't the use of
Sfiage III aircraft supposed to quiet it down sufficiently? And if the
monitors indicate confinuous violations then what enforcement will
be taken?
Thank you very much for the opportunity to express my thoughts and
concerns.

RE: Parr 15�J Stu�y Update
The Bloomington City Council has reviewed the proposed scope of the Part 150 Study Update
as presented to MASAG by HNTB. In ;eneral, we see the followina items in the scope, or list
of additional issues, as exceptionally important parts of a successful Part 150 study.
s Noise exposure maps which objectively present the problem.
• Develop noise abatement departure procedures for runway 17-35.
• Expand the sound insulation pzogram to residences within the 2005 DNL 60-65 contour.
`' • Develop methods for further reduction in aircraft noise levels, including accelerated
�' --'' phase-out of Stage 3 hush-kitted aircraft.
• Modify night hours to 10:30 p.m. - 6:00 a.m. and limit activity during these hours to Stage
3 aircraft. [The City Council recommends this measure be further limited to newer
Stage 3 aircraft, not including hush-kitted Stage 2 aircraft.]
• Analyze low frequency noise effects on residential uses.
• Limit run-up operations by time and direction.
• Reconsider preferentzal nznway use programs.
The Bloomington City Council feels strongly that the following two items must be included in
the Part 150 study scope:
• Develop a GPS-augmented departure procedure for runway 17-35.
• Propose a mitigation solution for 75 Bloomington homes where noise insulation was
deferred pending outcome of the 4-22 RUS.
The question of land use and zoning rules for state safety zones A and B is not an item for
FA.A approval. However, resolution of this issue for runway 17-35 should be accomplished in
the early part of the Part 150 study process.
The Bloomington City Council recognizes that the outcome of the Part 150 study will be
essential in mitigating negative impacts from aircraft operations. The Metropolitan Airports

Dear Charles,
March 21, 1999
Thanks for the invitation of suggestions and considerations
for the MSP Part 150 update. -
I believe it would be advisable to review Part 150 approvals
published on the FAA website to develop a background
inventory of items that have, or not have, been approved at
various airports. Also, Boeing Corporation has a mitigation
inventory available on it's web site. Reviewing and.
summarizing those information sources could be a time
consuming, but informative effort. Perhaps we could discuss
enlisting Roy Furhmann's staff for assistance with this.
For the MSP Part 150 update, I'd like to have considered:
I. Use of Community Noise Equivalency Level (CNEL), rather
than Ldn as the metric on whieh noise measurement and
mitigation are based. CNEL is currently used in California.
II. MSP should establish a local "two minute" rule under the
Part 150 Runway Use System. For departures, no less than
�` two minut.es between consecutive departure brake release on
each MSP runway. For arrivals, a two minute separation
between consecutive arrivals should be maintained as a
minimum separation. �
III. A discussion of the feasibility of preferred runway use
for Hush-Kit aircraft departures, or other appropriate
shifting of noisier aircraft to runways most remote from
residential areas would be appropriate.
IV. Discussion of limiting flights on the parallels as 17/35
enhances airport capacity and runway use options wauld be
appropriate. In particular, adoption of individual runway
"quiet hours", when runways may be closed to traffic would
be worth examining.
V. Examination of financial penalties for ANOM's measured
no�e event overages should be considered.
These are a few ideas from "off the top of my head". I'm
sure you'l1 receive many more from other community MASAC
representatives. Also, thank you for accepting the position
of MASAC chairman.

MASAC Chairman
6040 28th Avenue South
Minneapolis, MN 55450
Dear ��aini�an Merter�s�tto:
Thank you for the opportunity to express our community's goals for the upcoming Part
150 review. Participating early in this process gives us hope that substantive results
may be achieved, thus fulfilling the MASAC's often stated charter and purpose: aircraft
noise abatement.
The presentation by Kim Hughes and Evan Futterman of HNTB served to crystallize
our understanding of the wide-ranging scope of the Part 150 program and its
underlying legislative mandates. While we are primarily focused on the future Noise
Compatibility Program, the historic review of the 1987 and 1991 programs brought our
attention back to proposed measures tivhich have not been adopted as well as those that
have been implemented. Inver Grove Heights asks MASAC to review these measures
with the added perspective of today's MSP traffic volume, airspace restrictions and
comrnunity demographics, to deterrnine if the road not taken now offers previously
unseen benefits. Conversely, we further ask if some of the measures adopted have
generated intractable unintended consequences.
Under the heading "Purpose and Description" (page 3) the program requires a
thorough evaluation of options which are safe, practical, nenetieiai, not unduly
burdensome to any party and legally defensible. This comprehensive list of
requirements places a formidable screening ahead of the review. We ask that any noise
abatement proposal brought forward be evaluated, even if it may not meet alI the above
mentioned requirements. It should be the duty of MASAC to research and write a ,
review for each proposal stating which participant claimed it did not achieve or meet
specific criteria.
Our community raises objections to measures being called "noise abatement" that by
their very nature create "winners" and "losers". If no noise is reduced by a measure,
then it should be Iabeled a noise redistribution program, thus forcing the implementing
body to acknowledge what it is doing and to prevent hiding behind a pseudo scientific

or bureaucratic screen. The "corridor" decision is a perfect example of this. For every
decibel deposited efficiently upon the selected noise absorptive area, another, albeit �
somewhat lessened decibel is dropped on residents aligned with but beyond it's 3-mile
stated end. Over time, this has created an unduly burc.�.ensome consequence for "losers"
to benefit "winners" who enjoy a"no fly zone" overhead airspace. This review must
take the responsibility to define the parameters even if to do so opens the c�oor to other
forums of redress.
We see the need for adjustments to the calculation methodology generating data for
Noise Exposure Maps to consider excessive overflight disturbances, even if each of the
events ir�dividually do not pass the thxeshold trigger. Additionally, weighting should
be added for the number of hours of overflight exposure, once again even if each
overflight is only an ambient plus 10 db event.
For our community, reassigning land use is not a viable option. Inver Grove Heights is
topo� aphically high and rolling, dotted with lakes and wetlanc�s, and therefore not
conducive to industrial park development. The existing transportation anc�
sewer/water infrastructure have not been developed for these same geographical
reasons. �The long established development pattern has been low density residential
now numbering 28,000 in population.
Careful review of the current FAR Part 150 program at NISP shows no noise abatement 1''
of any kind with the exception of the Federally mandated Stage 3 requirements. The �`�
assignment at hand is Noise Abatement: to diminish noise, not merely the
redistribution of noise. This requires operational changes which will not be popular
with the airlines or the airport operator, however we firmly believe and will insist that
if noise is to be redistributed in any way in which the entire airspace is not equally
utilized, a Iegal argument can be made to force operational noise mitigation without
regard to cost of operation and or restrictions in total allowable operations. These
adjustments in operational procedures need to be "thoroughly evaluated": Maximizing
climb rates, varying route selections, variance from the air safety separation standard
default of a minimum 15 degree heading ciifference, equitable sharing through the
Runway Use System by volume and length of daily usage, requiring use of factory
Stage 3 aircraft during peak operating hours and night times, adopting a noise budget
that stops flights over any geographic point once a cumulative preset noise level is
reached, and limiting airline operations to a prescribed level based on total noise .
generated. Other policy and fee structure options such as a transit tax on hub
operations and eliminating stage operations during night time hours should be
considered.
As MSP strives to abide by the requirements of the 1979 Aviatio� Safety and Noise
Abatement Act, Inver Grove Heights, as one of several communities excluded from
previous considerations by formulas showing "no impact", we seek consideration and {' �
equity in the distribution of noise and real progress on abatement of noise. By
supporting the current location, favored close-in communities have an obligation to
open up their airspace and accept their fair share of the noise they have avoided for
decades. To do so otherwise is unacceptably hypocritical. If a collective decision to
maintain the current no fly zones and noise dumping areas results, then that decision
must be stated as such and thereby a11ow recourse for damages through the courts.
Noise metric calculations shoulcl be supplemented by another metric for average sound
level when operations are occurring. To average quiet times in with noise periods
distorts the disturbances. The Dnl should be weighted for frequency of disturbances
(low level) which have been slzown to be major source of irritation in studies. Four
hundred or mor� da�ly asnL-iEr�t pius iC d� t�c%e�ts sha�«u ir�creasz t�e calc�alate� val�ie
of each by at least as much as a few ambient plus 40 db event. Perhaps every event
occurring in an hour with more than 15 minutes duration (a one minute disturbance out
of every four minute time period) from noise events should be weighted by 10 db and
surcharged increasingly as time of disturbance increases. This is ?n keepina �nTit?� the
Minnesota Statute mandating ear protection in environments where plus 60 db noise
occurs for more than 10 minutes per hour.
As MASAC undertakes this review, the scope must be sufficiently broad to satisfy the
criticisms left over from the previous attempts. This will set the pattern and procedures
�� in use through 2010 so the importance of completeness can not be over emphasized.
We in Inver Grove Heights know first hand the frustration of previously ascribed poor
assumptions and unprojected changes in volume over tune. MASAC should explicitly
state in the final repori t11at it's goal is the equitable distribution of aircraft overflight
noise and leave the door open for periodic review.

5. MSP Construction Briefin� - Garv Warren
Roy Fuhrmann, Technical Advisor, introduced Gary Warren, MAC's Director of Airside
Development and explained what Mr. Warren would be speaking about.
The following is a summary of Mr. Warren's presenta.tion.
➢ Mr. Warren manages airfield construction.
➢ Since the MN Legislature endorsed the MSP 2010 Plan, construction at the airport has
dramatically increased.
➢ In 1998, 90 projects were bid at a cost of $250 million for both airside and landside
construction. In 1999, the cost will reach approtcimately $350 million.
➢ The MSP 2010 Plan is expected to cost approximately $2 billion, with most of the
construction taking place over the next 4-5 years.
Summarv of the 1998 Airfield Construction Projects
➢ Reconstruction of the west end of the south parallel runway and the associated taxiways
(ALPHA and Whiskey)
➢ Construction of the first deicing pad
➢ Construction of a deicing operations facility
➢ Construction of a new MAC Trades building (Landside)
➢ Temporary upgrade of the regional ternunal (Landside) {
➢ The 17/35 runway sewer construction was delayed until March 1999 due to permitting
issues.
Summary of the 1999 Airfield Construction Proiects
➢ Reconstruction of the east end of the south parallel runway ($21.5 million)
➢ Pavement of the aprons for the expansion of the Green Concourse
➢ Pavement of the regional airlines apron
➢ Annual apron pavement reconstruction will begin fall 1999
➢ Runway 17/35 site preparation (3-4 more projects) to begin in July
➢ Infield apron construction for FedEx and UPS
➢ Storm sewer system for runway 17/35
➢ Temporary (1,000 feet) extension of runway 12R30L (May need to re-bid the project
depending on the Environmental Assessment process. The work will most likely be
completed by 2001.)
Additional Construction Pr�ects included in the 2010 Plan
➢ A number of construction projects associated with runway 4/22 will also need to be
completed, including an eactension to the northeast, a rebuilding of the intersection with
runway 17/35 and an underground roadway.
➢ Additional deicing pads will be constructed.
➢ Runway 17/35, planned to be completed by December 2003.
,-,, South Parallel Runway Reconstruction Proiect
�
�. ._ :;
➢ Taxiway ALPHA will be moved closer to the runway.
➢ The southeastern 3,400 feet of the runway will be reconstructed.
➢ Completion of taxiway Whiskey.
➢ The contractor is working nights to shorten the runway, move the lights, and repaint the
thresholds in order to have the runway ready for the contractor on Apri15�'.
➢ T'he project is scheduled to be completed by Labor Day, 1999.
➢ The contractor has 105 working days to complete the project. Every day is counted,
except Sundays and holidays. Good weather will be helpful.
Roy Fuhrmann, Technical Advisor, then briefed the council on how the runways at MSP will
be used during the south para.11el runway reconstruction project. Mr. Fuhrmann...
➢ Explained how aircraft will queue onto the runways during a northwest or southeast flow.
➢ Showed how the summer traffic for 1997 compared to the actual summer traffic during
1998.
➢ Noted that the typical 1997 numbers of operations off each end of the runways was about
even, with approximately 10 operations to the south off runway 4/22.
➢ Displayed the actual number of operations during the 1998 summer reconstruction
period. (See attachment.)
➢ Showed that in 1999, based on SIMMOD modeling, the nurnber and co�guration of
operations should be similar to 19981evels. (See atta.chment.)
➢ Displayed the typical major flight paths departing runway 4/22.
� `;
➢ Displayed flight tracks for both a northwesterly and southeasterly flow from December 1-
5, 1998 and July 1-S, 1998 to show the difference in where aircraft flew during (
construction and non-construction timeframes. (See attachment.) `�,,
Mr. Warren then continued his briefing. He noted:
➢ 1999 is the last year for the south parallel reconstruction project.
➢ The center area of the runway is just as old as the ends, but in order to reconstruct this
area., the entire runway would have to be taken out of service.
➢ Maintenance of the existing runway surfaces is ongoing.
➢ In 1991 the center 80 feet of the south parallel runway was milled.
➢ Once the reconstruction is complete, the south parallel runway will be mainta.ined until
runway 17/35 is operational. At that time, the center portion may be reconstructed.
➢ Tunnels for rnaintenance and the public will be constructed.
➢ The Glycol Operations Center will be relocated to the infield area.
➢ A reconfiguration of the 66`� Street interchange will be completed.
Mr. Warren then took questions.
Dea.n Lindberg, Minneapolis, asked why the FAA has delayed approval of the Crosswind
Runway extension. Mr. Warren said the Environmental Assessment that was done for this
project treated the project as an independent element. He said the FAA is now concerned
about how the eactension correlates with the Runway Use System (RUS). He said he was not
sure how the extension would affect the RUS since the number of flights will not change due
to the extension.
Mr. Lindberg noted that the Record of Decision (ROD) for the 2010 plan required MAC to ��Ii
work with MNDot on the light rail transit and Hiawatha interchange plans and asked if MAC
has begun that process. Mr. Warren said MAC has shared the airspace profile for the
intersection with MNDot and staff has seen some concept plans for the interchange.
Kristal Stokes, Richfield, said she represented the area adjacent to the 66`h Street interchange
and asked what plans had been made for construction traffic and what the hours of operation
will be. Mr. Warren said southbound construction traffic would be using that intersection and
that northbound traffic will be using the 63`a Street ramp. He said MAC has met with the
City of Richfield regarding the improvements to the interchange, which won't be completed
until 2001. Mr. Warren said that although the current interchange configura,tion is sufficient
for the south parallel reconstruction and the development of the north/south runway, it is not
sufficient for the full development plans for the west side of the airport. He said the timing of
these improvements have not been worked out so the current configuration will be used in the
interim. Mr. Warren said the runway reconstruction is a 24-hour project but did not expect
that there would be a lot of nighttime work. He said he would keep Roy Fuhrmann, Technical
Advisor, updated on the reconstruction progress.
Rolf Middleton, St. Paul Chamber of Cornmerce, asked how the Green Concourse expansion
plans affect the Post Office, rental car companies and the regional airlines. Mr. Warren said
the rental cars and the post office will ultimately be located to the east of the parking ramps.
He said the regional airlines will simply shift to the east along with the expansion.
Kevin Batchelder, Mendota. Heights, asked where the Light Ra.il transit station would be
located. Mr. Warren said the plans call for the station to be located approximately 70 feet {�
underground just east of the parking ramps. He said the station will also be convenient to the
Green/Gold connector.
Charles VanGuilder, Burnsville, asked how the area south of 494 will be affected by the
north/south runway construction. Mr. Warren explained which buildings would have to be
moved due to the Runway Protection Zone (RPZ). He said the appraisals of the buildings are
now being completed and demolition of the buildings would have to be completed by early
2003. Mr. Wanen also noted that the MAC had purchased Metro Office Building complex in
order to accommodate the businesses in the RPZ.
Manny Camilon, St. Louis Pazk, asked what the RPZ is used for. Mr. Warren said in the true
sense of a runway protection zone, it is used for the possibility of an aircraft landing short.
Jill Smith, Mendota Heights, asked if the land within the RPZ could be used for anything
else. Mr. Wanen said permitted uses are very limited. He said some surface parking rnay be
allowed, but no structures are allowed.
Glenn Strand, Minneapolis, asked how the Humphrey Terminal construction fit in with the
overall construction plan. Mr. Wanen displayed concept plans for the new Humphrey
Terminal.
Mr. Strand also asked if the North Parallel runway's mid-section was in the same condition as
the South Paral]el runway and how long it would last. Mr. Warren said it was in sirnilar
condition and that the airport plans to overhaul the center sections of both these runways with
milling and overlaying. _
.' �E Mr. Strand also asked if the existing tunnel would remain open during the reconstruction.
Mr. Wanen said it would rernain open.
Will Eginton, Inver Grove Heights, asked if the North Parallel Runway would be
reconstructed. Mr. Warren said the ends of that runway were reconstructed in the 1980's and
that only the bituminous in the middle section would have to be maintained.
Sandra Colvin Roy, Minneapolis, asked how long it would talce to extend runway 4/22. Mr.
Wanen said the agreement with the City of Minneapolis was for it to take only one year.
John Nelson, Bloomington, asked Mr. Wanen to describe the existing condition of the south
para.11el runway and what the reconstruction of the runway will entail. Mr. Warren said the
existing runway has 8-10" of concrete on top of the existing soil overlaid with 18-24" of
bituminous pavement. He said after excavating down approximately 6 to 15 feet, depending
on the soil conditions, 3 feet of crushed granular material, one foot of crushed limestone, and
20 inches of concrete will be laid down at a width of 200 feet. He said staff doesn't expect to
have to reconstruct these areas again.
Neil Clark, Minneapolis, asked how long the north/south runway is expected to last. Mr.
Warren said the new runway will allow 25% more capacity at the airport and should last
anywhere from 20-50 years, depending on the loading and how it will be used.
Dick Saunders, Minneapolis, asked if there were any specifications for the new Glycol
Collection Facility ponds. Mr. Warren said plans are only preliminary.
} � �
Chairman Mertensotto thanked Mr. Warren for the thorough briefing and asked him to visit
MASAC again. �.
6. March 12, 1999 Operations Committee Report
Because Mark Satmen was not present at either the March 12, 1999 MASAC Operations
Committee meeting or the MASAC meeting, Bob Johnson, MBAA, briefed the members on the
meeting.
Mr. Johnson reported that:
➢ The Ground Run Up Enclosure (GRE) discussion was forwarded to the ne�ct meeting.
➢ The Test Cell Monitoring planned project was discussed, with the actual testing taking place
following the meeting.
➢ The discussion of Nighttime Hours took the bulk of the meeting. This subject will continue to
be discussed within the structure of the Part 150 Study Update and at the Operations
Committee meetings.
Roy Fuhrmann, Technical Advisor, reported the preliminary results of the:.test cell monitoring
project. He said the project had been coordinated with Jamie Verbrugge, Eagan and was
conducted on March 16`�'. Mr. Fuhrrnann then displayed a map of the monitoring locations. Mr.
Fuhrmann explained that each site was manned and that staff coordinated their efForts with the
personnel at the test cell facility. He also noted that the Eagan Airport Relations Committee had
been briefed on the results.
Mr. Fuhrmann said sta.ff and a resident of Eagan had not been able to detect any change in the
noise levels when the test cell was running. (
Glenn Strand, Minneapolis, asked when the monitoring took place. Mr. Fuhrmann said the
monitoring was done between 1:00 and 2:00 in the afternoon. Mr. Strand asked if the results
would have been different had the monitoring taken place during the nighttime hours. Mr.
Fuhrcnann said, even with a lower ambient noise level, there would not have been a noticeable
difference. Chad Leqve, MAC Advisor, sa,id the people performing the monitoring also noted
when the ambient noise levets were lowest and were instructed to listen closely during these
times. Mr. Strand said it would have made more sense to monitor during the nighttime hours
because that is the time the test cell would most likely be an annoyance.
Jamie Verbrugge, Eagan, said he thought the conditions during the testing were favorable and
came close to approximating the conditions that would occur at night. Mr. Fuhrmann said the
winds were light and favorable for monitoring at the identified receptors, the sky was relatively
clear and the temperature was in the 40's. Mr: Strand said without actual nighttime
measurements, he thought the question of whether or not the test cell could be heard had not been
answered. Mr. Verbrugge said he believed the monitoring project proved that the test cell is not a
signi�cant contributor to ground noise at the airport but that ground noise is still a major concern
for the residents of Eagan.
Glenn Strand, Minneapolis, asked why the monitoring had been done during the daytime hours
rather than in the evening. Roy Fuhrmann, Technical Advisor, said, through Mr. Verbrugge, the
residents were asked if there would be a benefit to monitoring during the evening hours, or if it
would be appropriate to perform the monitoring during the daytime hours. Mr. Verbrugge
indicated that this time of day would be acceptable. Mr. Fuhrmann said a representative of the {
Minnesota Pollution Control Agency was also present and probably wouldn't have been available
during the evening hours.
Chairman Mertensotto asked Mr. Fuhrmann to document the monitoring project in a report. Mr.
Fuhrmann said a report would be brought to the Operations Committee and to the full MASAC
body.
John Nelson, Bloomington, summarized how the request originated and the process that was
followed to fulfill its intentions. He saic� he felt the monitoring project fulfilled the request and
suggested that the matter be put to rest.
Lance Staricha, Eagan, said he felt that if the test cell was a significant source of noise the
monitored data would have reflected that. He also thanked the staff for their willingness to
conduct the monitoring and said it was a good example of how the government process should
work.
7. Low Frequency Noise Policv Committee (LFNPC) - MASAC Representation
Chairman Mertensotto introduced the item and noted that the MAC Commission and the Low
Frequency Noise Policy Committee (LFNPC) had agreed to allow MASAC to become a technical
advisor to the committee. He said the representative would be responsible for attending the
meetings and reporting to MASAC.
Bob Johnson, MBAA, clarified that the representative would be on the technicai panel of the
LFNPC and thought whoever was appointed should have some technical background.
� �M Chairman Mertensotto then called for nominations for a representative to the LFNPC.
Dean Lindberg, Minneapolis, nominated Dick Saunders, Minneapolis.
Jennifer Sayre, Northwest Airlines, nominated Bob Johnson, MBAA.
Chairman Mertensotto then called for nominations for an alternate to the LFNPC.
Bob Johnson, MBAA, nominated Mark Salmen, Northwest Airlines.
A ballot vote was taken and Dick Saunders, Minneapolis, was selected as MASAC's advisory
representative to the LFNPC and Mark Salmen, Northwest Airlines, was selected as the alternate
representative.
Technical Advisor's Runway.Svstem Utilization Report and Complaint Summarv
Chad Leqve, MAC Advisor, introduced, explained and summarized the Executive Summary of
the Technical Advisor's Report.
Jamie Verbrugge, Eagan, thanked the staff for producing the new report and said it will be helpful
to him in presenting the information to residents.
John Nelson, Bloomington, reminded members that the Operations Comrnittee would be
discussing the issue of how information is presented to the members and encouraged members to
� bring concerns or suggestions to the Operations Committee before that discussion takes place.
Mr. Nelson also noted that the detailed minutes of the Operations Committee's March 12, 1999
meeting will be forwarded to the Part 150 Study Upda.te consultants for their review and for �
possible implementation into the Part 150 Update.
9. Report of the MAC Commission Meeting
Chairman Mertensotto reported on the March 1999 MAC Commission meeting. Chairman
Mertensotto said the Commission reported on their continuing discussions with Sun Country
Airlines and Nigel Finney, Deputy Executive Director of Planning and Environment, reported on
the various construction projects, including changes in the inbound/outbound roadway lanes.
10. Persons Wishing to Address the Council
John Larson spoke to the issue of the test cell monitoring project. He said the issue was brought
up at a previous MASAC meeting in the context of nighttirne noise issues and should be
considered within this context. He said the question is still unanswered as to whether or not the
test cell is a significant source of nighttime noise.
Jill Smith, Mendota. Heights, suggested thafi MASAC's mission statement be displayed on poster
board at the meetings. Melissa Scovronski, MASAC Secretary, volunteered to do so.
Roy Fuhrmann, Technical Advisor, noted that future MASAC meetings will be held either off site
or in a double-wide trailer in the parking lot until the renovation of the MAC's General Offices is
completed. He asked members to pay attention to possible changes in meeting locations.
1 l. Other Items Not on the Agenda �'��
There were no additional items.
12. Adjournment
Chairman Mertensotto adjourned the meeting at 9:40 p.m.
Respectfully submitted.

AGENDA
Dick Saunders, Minneapolis, asked that two items be added to the agenda. He asked if sta.ff could
update the corrunittee on the outcome of the bids for the RMT insta.11ations and explain the purpose
behind the proposal to hire an additional noise consultant. Chairman Saimen said, given the meeting's
full agenda, the items would be taken up at the end of the meeting iftime allowed.
The minutes of the March 12, 1999 Operations Committee were then approved as distributed.
,
t
_ 3
Cha.irman Satmen noted that the New Business items would be addressed in reverse order and suggested
that Old Business be addressed at the May 14, 1999 meeting from 8:30 to 10:00 a.m. �'�
DICK SAUNDERS,IVIINNEAPOLIS, MOVED AND JOHN NELSON, BLOOMINGTON,
MOVED TO DISCUSS THE OLD BUSINESS AGENDA ITEMS AT TFIE MAY 14, 1999
OPERATION5 COMMITTEE MEETING FROM 8:30 TO 10:00 A.M. THE VOTE WAS
UNAIVIMOUS. MOTION CARRIED.
Chairman Salmen noted, then, that the May 14, 1g99 meeting would begin at 8:30 with the Old
Business items on this meeting's agenda.
Chairman Salmen also noted that a special meeting has been scheduled for March 30, 1999 at 10:00
am. for a discussion of Ground Run Up Enclosures (GREs), at which Ted Woosley of Landrum and
Brown would speak about GRE installations at airports throughout the U.S. and internationally.
NON-SIMULTANEDZTS CORRIDOR DEPARTUREANALYSIS
Chad Leqve, MAC Advisor, briefed the members on the "Crossing in the Corridor" analysis. The
following is a summary of this briefing:
➢ At the time of the last analysis, the FAA said it would attempt to improve its use of the "crossing"
procedure.
➢ Staffhas provided FAA with data updates on the use of the procedure.
➢ The months of September 1998 through February 1999 were used for the data. sample.
➢ The second report was conducted in the same maYuier as the first, aside from a comparison section
� a
in the Summary of Findings.
➢ There was a 21% increase in crossing operations during the 2300 to 0600 timeframe compared with
the previous analysis (from 36.1%to 57.1%).
➢ T'here was a 10% increase in crossing operations during the weekend timeframe of Saturday at
1500 to Sunday at 1300 compared with the previous analysis (from 17.2% to 27.2%).
➢ There was a 14.4°/a increase in crossing operations during the weekend timeframe when one local
controller was on duty (from 29.3% to 43.7%).
➢ The single largest impediment to perfornung the crossing procedure during the weekend hours was
the large number of operations taking place within the 0 to 2 minute and the 2 to 4 minute
separation time frame.
➢ It was noted that the impact of the head-to-head procedure on the use of the crossing procedure was
not analyzed in either analysis because of the difficulty in quantifying its use.
Kevin Batchelder, Mendota Heights, said he was encouraged by the increase in use of the crossing
procedure and would share the results with his Airport Commission. He said the results spoke well of
the FAA's and staffs efforts in this regard.
Dick Saunders, Minneapolis, asked if the number of operations taking place within the 0 to 2-minute
separation time was significant. Chad Leqve, MAC Advisor, and Cindy Greene, FAA, said many
operations take place within this timeframe, especially when more than one runway is considered.
�r .

John Nelson, Bloomington, asked for clarification of how staff deternuned when an aircraft performed
` the crossing procedure. Chad Leqve, MAC Advisor, said it is based on whether or not an aircraft took
the desired track off either runway.
Mr. Nelson asked Mr. Batchelder if he considered the results of the second analysis beneficial to his
community. Mr. Batchelder said he was pleased with the increase in the use of the crossing procedure.
Will Eginton, Inver Grove Heights, asked Cindy Greene, FAA, if it was possible to initiate turns at three
miles if the Downtown St. Paul Airport is shut down. Ms. Greene said St. Paul airport traffic does not
necessarily go away when the tower is not in operation and that MSP ACTC controls St. Paul's traffic
at that time. She said, however, that there is less activity during the nighttime hours and the odds are
better for a 3-mile turn. Mr. Eginton said he was concerned about his community being hit with aircraft
noise after the 3-mile corridor and would like to see aircraft turning as soon as possible. Ms. Greene
said the air traffic controllers do issue turn orders as soon as possible after three miles, but that it takes
a while for an aircraft (depending on a number of variables) to make the full 180° turn. Ms. Greene
also assured Mr. Eginton that air traffic controllers will always turn an aircraft as soon as possible to
reach its ultimate destination heading. Mr. Eginton emphasized that the sooner aircraft are turned,
either to the north or to the south, the better it is for his community.
JOHN NELSON, BLOOMINGTON, MOVED AND DICK 5AUNDERS, MINNEAPOLIS,
SECONDED TO ACCEPT THE APRIL 9, 1999 "CROSSING IN THE CORRIDOR: AN
OPERATIONAL FOLLOW UP ANALYSIS" REPORT, AND THAT THE STAFF SEND A
LETTER TO THE AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL TOWER PERSONNEL THANKING THEM
FOR THEIR PARTICIPATION AND COOPERATION IN INCREA5ING THE USE OF THE
CORRIDOR "CROSSING" PROCEDURE AND ENCOURAGING THEM TO CONTINUE
THEIR EFFORTS IN THIS REGARD. THE VOTE WAS UNANIMOUS. MOTION
: : : i�1179
Kevin Batchelder, Mendota Heights, and John Nelson, Bloomington, commented that these results
illustrated (1) a significant MASAC accomplishment and (2) that working at the "margins" of noise
abatement procedures can have a positive effect.
Carl Rydeen, FAA, said he had expected a larger increase in compliance and felt his controllers could
perform at an even higher level.
Cindy Greene, FAA, asked staff if they would perform a similar, but less in depth, analysis for the FAA
in order for Mr. Rydeen to be abie to track the controllers' performance in regards to this procedure.
Roy Fuhrmann, Technical Advisor, said staff would be happy to do so.
PART I50 PROGRESS REVIEW
Roy Fuhrmann, Technical �dvisor,�briefed the�members on the progress of the Part 150 Study Update.
The following is a summary of this briefing:
➢ Staff met with city and state agency representatives on Thursday, April 8, 1999 conceming the
scope of work. He said comments taken at the rneeting and in written form will be incorporated into
,
_. 5
1
the scope of work as an addendum.
The project's time frame has been shortened by about 3 months.
Approximately 6-7 written comments have been received.
Work will move forward with the generation of a base case contour following the contour
generation discussion.
Reconstruction of the south parallel runway began on Apri15, 1999. Updates on the reconstruction
are available on the Noise Complaint and Information Hotline at 612-'726-9411 and on the
department's website at www.macavsat.orq.
Chairman Salmen said a good number of Northwest's aircraft were precluded from using the south
paratlel runway on Monda.y April 5�' and Tuesday, April 6`i', but that it will not represent a normal
occurrence during reconstruction.
PART ISO CONTOUR GENERATIONDISCUSSION
Roy Fuhrmann, Technical Advisor, introduced Ms. Kim Hughes of HNTB. The following is a
sumrnary of the discussion.
�
➢ In 1980, FICON established DNL as the prefened metric for considering land use impacts.
➢ In 1981, the FAA adopted DNL as their single system for assessing impacts from aircraft noise.
➢ DNL is the day-night average noise level. It represents a 24-hour annual average metric.
➢ DNL penalizes nighttime operations by IOdB. (Graph)
➢ DNL 65 is the contour the FAA uses to assess compatibility.
➢ The Integrated Nase Model (INM) does not consider ambient noise levels. It only considers
individual aircraft noise events and then averages them.
➢ (Input to INM diagram) �; �
9 There is no standa.rd tolerance for INM. The INM is dependent upon the quality of the inputs.
➢ The most important input is the average number of daily flights.
➢ The second most important input is the correct engine types.
➢ The third most important input is the correct number of hushkitted engines.
➢ The fourth most important input is to be sure the ground tracks are correct.
➢ The fifth most important input is the stage links to be sure the correct take-off weights are used.
➢ Further down on the list are inputs such as the average temperature at the airport. ..
Aviation Activi and Operations
➢ The project will use a combination of the operational levels from ANOMS data and the number of
operations the FAA generates on an annual basis at the airport. Ms. Hughes said it wil] probably
combine FAA's numbers with ANOMS' fleet mix information.
➢ The base year will be 1998-1999 and begin in April 1998. The inputs will need to be normalized by
taking into consideration the impact of the Northwest pilot's strike and the reconstruction of the
south parallel runway. .Roy.. Fuhrmann, .Technical Adv.isor,: said it .is . important to use up to da:te
information in the base case contour generation, and since there will be airfield construction from
1998 to 2003, there is no way to choose a year that does not have some disruptions. He said there
simply is not a perfect 12-month year to choose from. Neil Clark, Minneapolis, asked why a three
or six-month period couldn't be used. Cindy Greene, FAA, said there are` significant seasonal
;
6
changes in operations that it wouldn't be representative of a full year. Chairman Salmen said there
were other airline scheduling factors that needed to be accounted for, as well.
A ANOMS data will be used to determine the fleet mix, including the number of hushkitted aircraft
operating at MSP.
➢ The base case contour will be a yea.r 2000 contour because the FAA requires that the contour be for
the year during which it is submitted. Ms. Hughes said that although the base case contour will
initially be predicated on the year April 1998 through April 1999, it will need to be changed at some
point during the year 2000 to reflect the Stage II aircraft phase out. She said typically the FAA
would require a sensitivity analysis if the base case contour was submitted during the year after it
was generated to be sure there were no significant differences. But, in the case of the 2000 contour,
there will be significant changes in the fleet mix.
➢ Currently, INM version 5.2 is being used. Yet, within the year, version 6.0 is expected to be
available. Although initially version 5.2 will be used, when version 6.0 becomes available, the same
inputs for version 5.2 will be input into version 6.0 so that the communities have all the benefits of
the rnost recent version. Ms. Hughes said she wanted to be sure rnembers Irnew that there could be
slight changes between the 5.2 contour and the 6.0 contour. Roy Fuhrmann, Technical Advisor,
said MAC feels there is an obligation to use the most current model for contour generation.
➢ The Integrated Noise Model (INM) is a computer model that attempts to simulate the average daily
annual noise level experienced at an airport. In order to do this, it uses the annual average number
of daily operations and the average fleet mix to calculate the noise contours.
➢ The 1NM uses standard profiles for both arrivals and departures, as well as standard noise levels for
each engine type.
➢ The INM incorporates G.A. and Milita.ry aircraft, along with commercial.
➢ The INM computer soflware is available to the public for $250 from the FAA and can be used on
more than one computer. The FAA's design review group, made up of INM's larger users, meets
' annually to review proposed enhancements to the model.
➢ Obtaining up-to-date information from ea.ch airline operating at MSP will be very important.
➢ ANOMS data will be used to develop the "day-night split" because it has the most accurate
information for this airport.
Aircraft Performance
➢ Maxirrium take-off weights are derived from arrival and destination information, which can be
obta.ined through ANOMS data.
➢ Average temperature information is obtained through the National Oceanic Atmospheric
Association (NOAA).
Pilot Technique
➢ The thrust level aircraft use for ta.keoffs at MSP needs to be deternuned. This information will be
obtained through the air carriers.
Airport Factors
➢ Information contained in the FEIS will be used to deternune future use of the North/South runway.
➢ John Nelson, Bloomington, asked Ms. Hughes to examine the information frorn the March 12, 1999
7
MASAC Operations Committee meeting regarding nighttime operations and the differences in
schedu]ed versus actual operations. Ms. Hughes said, typically, the OAG schedule is used; with �'�
modifications being made based on ANOMS da.ta. Roy Fuhrmann, Technical Advisor, said all
available information will be used, including, to the greatest extent possible, information on the
number of unscheduled flights arrive at MSP due to weather conditions.
Chairman Salmen clarified that hushkitted aircraft are Stage III aircraft and meet Stage III aircraft
guidelines. Neil Clark, Minnea.polis, asked Chairrnan Salmen where he could obtain information on
huskitted aircraft noise levels. Chairman Salmen said that information is available in the FAA's Part 36
document. He said Part 36 established guidelines for aircraft to meet Stage III noise level requirements
and that the hushkit manufacturers designed them to meet these guidelines or limits. He said "Stage III"
is a noise level output certification established by the FAA through Part 36. Roy Fulumann, Technical
Advisor, told Mr. Clark that the Part 36 document could be found at www.faa.clov.
Jan DelCalzo said a frustration with the previous Part 150 update was that there was a significant
change in Northwest's fleet mix one year after the contour was generated, which made the 1996 contour
suspect from that point on. She asked if the FAA would approve a change in an approved contour given
these types of significant changes without having to repeat the update process. Ms. Hughes said an
NEM Update could be undertaken, but would still require FAA approval. Ms. -Hughes said if a
significant change occurs withir► the NEM and additional homes are included in the contour a new Noise
Cornpatibility Program (NCP) would have to be undertalcen.
Jamie Verbrugge, Eagan, asked how the high farecast for the year 2005 of 5'75,000 operations would be
used. Ms. Hughes said the high forecast operational level of 575,000 operations will be used for the
2005 contour but the fleet mix used for the FEIS will be modified based on current information. -
;,,
Dick Saunders, Minneapolis, asked if GPS capabilities will be incorporated into the Part 150 Update.
Ms. Hughes said within Part 150 there is consideration for amval and departure procedures using GPS.
She said the FAA, however, is more accepting of land-based navigational aids for setting up standard
departures and arrivals.
Ms. Hughes explained that the Part 150 document will contain three contours: a year 2000 base case
contour, a 2005 contour and a 2005 abated contour, which will include all the recommendations or
improvements made as part of the document. This last contour would then be used for determining
eligibility for the sound insulation program.
Demand Capacitv
➢ Information from the FEIS regarding the use of the North/South nuiway will be used, unless the
environment changes significantly. The FAA controllers are bound to using the north/south runway
in a rnanner consistent with the FEIS. At this point, local air traf�'ic and center air traffic are
working out the best.way for this to happen operationa.11y.
John Nelson, Bloomington, noted that the City of Bloomington has consistently opposed the turn that
takes aircraft back over the city. He said the city's support of the new runway was contingent on
aircraft being taken away from the heavily populated areas of central and east Bloomington. He noted,
0
however, that the FEIS did not take into account the city's objections. He said the residents of
Bloomington have been told that departures from the new runway will be concentrated to the east of
Cedar Avenue and that the City will do everything possible to ma.ke sure this happens.
Aircraft Operations
➢ Runway Utilization: ANOMS data. will be used for determining the base case conditions. Runway
utilization is determining how the runways at an airport operate on an annual average basis.
Nighttime and daytime conditions, as well as air camer and general aviation operations, are broken
down, which illustrates how different types of aircraft use the runways at an airport.
➢ Flight Tracks: ANOMS data will be used.
➢ Profiles: ANOMS data will be used to determine the standard profiles of the most heavily used
aircraft operating at MSP.
➢ Run Ups: Run ups have not been included in the DNL calculation in the past but will be included in
the present update.
Possible Special Studies
➢ The INM accounts for some hushkitted aircraft, but not all. Because the communities sunounding
the airport are concerned about the differences in Stage III hushkitted noise levels versus
manufactured Stage III levels, the Part 150 Study Update will attempt to incorporate a study on
noise levels at certain positions to confirm hushkitted engine data..
➢ Verification of departure profiles for the major aircraft operating at the airport.
➢ Use noise monitoring data to establish ambient annual levels to validate the INM contours.
� �OTHER
The two items mentioned at the beginning of the meeting were added to the agenda.
Roy Fuhnnann, Technical Advisor, reported that Morcon Construction was the successful bidder for the
RMT insta.11ation project with a bid of $183,086. The Full Commission is expected to approve the item
this month. Installation of the RMTs will occur as soon as possible after the awarding of the contract.
A definite schedule will be drawn up and distributed to the communities once staff is able to meet with
the contractor.
Dick Saunders, Minneapolis, asked sta.ff if they were satisfied with the altitude of the RMT at Kenny
field. Roy Fuhrmann, Technical Advisor, said the altitude is satisfactory for both staff and the
manufacturer.
John Nelson, Bloomington, asked if the Inver Grove Heights location had been settled. Chad Leqve,
MAC Advisor, said the RMT will be placed on Arkansas Avenue, just south of the original location
identified. The IGH Noise.Abatement Council has indicated .the-location is satisfactory. Mr. Leqve
said it will be located in a residential area.
A Continuing Noise Consultant is being sought, on an as needed basis, to provide staff with expertise
and additional analysis capabilities for the future. This consultant will be used for projects outside the
�]
Part 150 Study Update. Request for Qualifications (RFQ) have been sent to over 50 companies.
Chairman Salmen encouraged the members to review the information on the GRE's in preparation for `
the March 30, 1999 meeting. Jamie Verbrugge, Eagan, asked if it would be possible to discuss the
results of the test cell monitoring project at that time due to the fact he would be unable to attend the
May meeting. Chairman Salmen said the item could be included on the agenda if there is time and the
committee agrees to continue the meeting.
Mr. Verbrugge also reported that the Eagan Airports Council wishes to review a year's worth of logs for
each of the three test cells to be certain of the types of aircraft engines being tested in each of them.
Chairman Salmen asked Mr. Verbrugge to forward a written request to him.
John Nelson, Bloomington, asked if any other city anticipates asking for furkher testing of the test cell
facility. Dick Saunders, Minneapolis, said a Minneapolis delegate has raised the possibility. Chairman
Salmen said from Northwest's perspective they do not anticipate any further testing to be done and
believes the testing that has already taken place is applicable to the area around the entire airport. Mr.
Nelson said he does not believe the test cell is a significant source of noise compared with the other
sources of noise and that the matter should be put to rest once the City of Eagan's request is fulfilled.
There was a disagreement between Neil Clark, Minneapolis, and John Nelson, Bloomington, regarding
the validity of the testing methods. Mr. Nelson said he believes concentrating on reducing run up noise
through the possible installation of a GRE is more important.
The meeting was adjourned at 12:15 p.m.

• INM standard input will be defined.
• Use of ANOMS data to develop flight �acks, determine runway/ track use and day/ night
operational splits, analyze and determine arrival and departure profiles, and to verify INM
standard noise curve values will be described.
• Per community request, noise monitoring results will be used to establish ambient noise
levels.
INM Future Conditions Contour Development
• An updated fleet mnr will be developed using the Dual Tlrack High Scenario operations level
for We future (2005) Noise Exposure Map DNL contours.

SUBJECT: Crossing in the Comdor Analysis
DATE: March 31, 1999
MASAC
Since its conception, the crossing in the corridor procedure was anticipated to consolidate as many
operations as possible in the center of the Eagan - Mendota Heights I3eparture Corridor. In an efiFort to
ensure the procedure was being utilized to the fullest potential, the MASAC Operations Committee
underwent an operational analysis to first assess the current state of the procedure usage and then
assess any changes which may occur following the first analysis.
At the October 9, 1998 Operations Committee meeting the first Crossing in the Corridor Analysis was
presented. The analysis data sample period spanned October 1997 to Mazch 1998. In an effort to assess
'�' the operational results of the first analysis, a follow on analysis was prepared. The second analysis data
sample spans September 1998 to February 1999 and is identical to the first analysis in scope, resources
used and applied analytical methods facilitating the direct comparison of the most recent analysis to
the previous one for the purpose of procedural use assessment.
The second Crossing in the Corridor Analysis will be presented as part of the April 9, 1999 MASAC
Operations Committee meeting agenda.
If you have any questions or comments please contact me at 725-6328.

INFORMATION DISSEMINATION OPTIONS DISCUSSION
. . �
At the March 12, 1999 MASAC Operations Committee meeting, the members decided to forward this
item to the April meeting due to the lateness of the hour. It was suggested that members should bring
written suggestions for improving the information dissemination process to the next meeting. A copy
of the slides from the last MASAC Operations Committee are included for your reference.
Additionally, it was suggested that Wendy Burt, MAC's Public Information Officer should also be
brought into the discussion to provide guidanee and insight into other MAC publications and airport
information dissemination methods proposed for the neighboring communities. ,
Additional discussion about this topic will be entertained at the April 9, 1999 meeting. Please bring
your ideas for a stimulating discussion.
If you have any questions, please contact me at 725-6326. „
UPDATE ON THE NWA TEST CELL MOIVITOIRNG
On March 16, 1999, MAC staff, coordinated monitoring for the Northwest Airlines Engine Test Cell
Facility with representatives from NWA, the City of Eagan, and a local resident. MAC Staff, along
with the MPCA Noise Program Administrator conducted monitoring at four locations while a Pratt
and Whitney JT9D-7J engine was runup to full power. All locations were manned and in contact with
the individual located at the test cell facility.
During the engine run-up, only the individuai located closest to the test cell was able to audibly discern
the engine run-up noise versus the ambient levels. The resident located within the city of Eagan was
present at the time of testing and was also unable to discern the engine run-up from the ambient levels.
Staff will present a map of the four monitoring locations, associated noise level data and/or graphs and
a summary of the NWA Engine Run-up Test Cell monitoring at the April 9, 1999 meeting.
If you have any questions, please contact me at 725-6326.

increase in Southeast traffic flow from February of 1999. The use of the crosswind runway was virtually
unchanged with a sma11 increase in runway 22 arrivals and departures from February 1999 to March 1999. Parallel
runway operations represented a predominate Southeast traffic flow with 24.5% more operations departing off
12L&R compared to 30L&R and 19.6% more operations arriving on 12L&R compared to 30L&R.
Carrier jet operations showed over all corridor usage remained virtually the same from February 1999 to March
1999 with 12L&R departure operations increasing by 9.6% and 30L&R arrival operations decreasing by 10.5%.
Parallel runway use favored Southeast traffic flows with 19.9% more arrivals on 12L&R compared to 30L&R and
25.2% more depariures on 12L&R compared to 30L&R. The crosswind runway usage remained virtually
unchanged from February 1999 to March 1999.
March 1999 Nighttime Runwav Use Summarv All Operalions and Carrier .Tet Operations
The nighttime hours (2230 - 0600) during March 1999 represents a period of extensive corridor usage. The all
operations runway use assessment depicts 58.0% of the arrival operations occurred in the corridor and 67.5% of
the departure operations occurred in the corridor. The over all operations over Minneapolis in March 1999 showed
a slight reduction from February 19991evels. There were 15.1% fewer departures and a 7.8% increase in arrivals
over Minneapolis from February 1999 to March 1999, which represents a decrease in over all operations over
Minneapolis of 7.3%. The use vf the crosswind runwaywas -increased from ��ebruary 1999 to March 1999 with
departure operations on runway 22 representing the largest increase from 3.3°Io in February 1999 to 9.0% in
March 1999.
Nighttime carrier jet operatians were consistent with the all operations trends. Corridor operations were
comprised of 55.9% of tota.l arrivals and 69.0°Io of total departures in March 1999 representing an increase in
departures in the corridor of 8.6% from February 1999 to March 1999. There were 32.8% of the total arrival
;' perations and 18.9% of the total departure operations over Minneapolis in March 1999 representing an increase
'' -.�ri arrivals of 8.4% and a decrease in departures of 18.4°Io over Minneapolis from February 1999 to March 1999.
The use of the crosswind runway increased from February 1999 to March 1999 with departure operations on
runway 22 representing the largest increase from 2.3% in February 1999 to 11.9% in March 1999.

March 1999 RMT DNL Level Summarv
The above monthly DNL assessment per RMT site is consistent with the actual runway use for the month of
March 1999. The higher DNL levels are for the most part concentrated off the ends of the parallel runways due to
�the frequency of parallel runway usage. The St. Paul RMT sites represent some of the lowest DNL values in the
report.

The top ten noise events and the event ranges at each RMT for March 1999 are very similar to the information
collected in February 1999. The top noise events at each RMT were comprised of 88.3% departure operations
and the predominate aircraft was the Boeing 727-2Q0 with the exception of sites located in St. Paul due to the
number and nature of operations over St. Paul.

SUB�jECT: February 1999 Technical Advisor's Report Revisions
DATE: April 19, 1999
r��y
As you will recall, the beginning of Februazy 1999 marked the installation of ANOMS version 6.3 at
Minneapolis/St. Paul International Airport. The acquisition of the new version represents a myriad of
increased analytical capability as well as the need for up front system integration and program
customization.
T'he February 1999 Technical Advisor's Report was compiled utilizing the new version of ANOMS.
Shortly foilowing the March 30, 1999 MASAC rneeting it was discovered that a critical post-
processing function within the new ANOMS was preforming inadequately. The system was
i performing improper post-processing functions while at the same time these errors were not being
noted in the system log files which are used to ensure the program is functioning properly. MAC staff
discovered and diagnosed the problem via an in-depth program and database intenogation traditionally
not necessary for such an issue.
The result of the malfunction was inaccurate carrier jet counts in the February 1999 Technical
Advisor's Report. Attached are corrected copies of the various sections out of the February
1999 Technical Advisor's Report that were affected. We apologize for any inconvenience this
may have caused.
T'he above ANOMS system issue has been addressed and corrected. We look forward to a
whole new level of analytical capabilities resulting from the new version of ANOMS at MSP.
If you have any questions or comments please contact me at 725-6328.

Since the last RMT update the RMT construction contract was awarded to Morcon Contractors at the
Apri128, 1999 MAC Commission meeting and a per-consiruction meeting took place on May 5, 1999.
The meeting focused on remaining issues to be addressed prior to project commencement.
All parties are awaiting a notice to proceed, which is pending on the completion of the review of
insurance requirements on behalf of Morcon. In addition to the notice to proceed it was indicated that
Larson Davis had expressed a six week manufacturing period to provide the RMT poles. After fi.�rther
discussion the Larson Davis representative felt the company could provided the needed materials in a
more expedient manner and was going to follow up on the issue. Although the poles may not be
available initially the infrastructure preparation will begin. It was indicated that the consiruction of the
concrete bases and access runs for utilities could begin the week of May 17-21, 1999. The construction
commencement dates are subject to the final notice to proceed.
The submission af building permits to the respective communities will be conductecl following the
notice to proceed, in addition Minneapolis Facilities has responded authorizing the RMT locations at
both Ericsson Elementary School and Anthony Middle School. At the May 14, 1999 MASAC
Operations Committee meeting an RMT Update will be briefed.

Brown would speak about GRE installations at airports throughout the U.S. and internationally.
NON-SIMULTANEOUS CORRIDOR DEPARTURE ANALYSIS
Chad Leqve, MAC Advisor, briefed the members on the "Crossing in the Comdor" analysis. The
following is a summary of this briefing:
➢ At the time of the last analysis, the FAA said it would attempt to improve its use of the "crossing"
procedure.
➢ Staff has provided FAA with data updates on the use of the procedure.
➢ The months of September 1998 through February 1999 were used for the data sample.
➢ The second report was conducted in the same manner as the first, aside from a comparison section
in the Summary of Findings.
➢ There was a 21% increase in crossing operations during the 2300 to 0600 timeframe compared with
the previous analysis (from 36.1%to 5�.1%).
➢ There was a 10% increase in crossing operations during the weekend timeframe of Saturday at
1500 to Sunda.y at 1300 compared with the previous analysis (from 17.2% to 27.2%).
➢ There was a 14.4% increase in crossing operations during the weekend timeframe when one local
controller was on duty (from 29.3 % to 43.7%).
➢ The single largest impediment to performing the crossing procedure during the weekend hours was
the large number of operations taking place within the 0 to 2 minute and the 2 to 4 minute
separaxion time frame.
A It was noted that the impact of the head-to-head procedure on the use of the crossing procedure was
not analyzed in either analysis because of the difficulty in quantifying its use.
Kevin Batchelder, Mendota Heights, said he was encouraged by the increase in use of the crossing
procedure and would share the results with his Airport Commission. He said the results spoke well of
the FAA's and staffs efforts in this regard.
Dick Saunders, Minneapolis, asked if the number of operations taking place within the 0 to 2-minute
separation time was significant. Chad Leqve, MAC. Advisor, and Cindy Greene, FAA, said many
operations take place within this timeframe, especially when more than one runway is considered.
�
John Nelson, Bloomington, asked for clarification of how staff determined when an aircraft performed
the crossing procedure. Chad Leqve, MAC Advisor, said it is based on whether or not an aircraft took
the desired track off either runway.
Mr. Nelson asked Mr. Batchelder if he considered the results of the second analysis beneficial to his
community. Mr. Batchelder said he was pleased with the increase in the use of the crossing procedure.
Will Eginton, Inver Grove Heights, asked Cindy Greene, FAA, if it was possible to initiate turns at three
miles if the Downtown St. Paul Airport is shut down. Ms. Greene said St. Paul airport traffic does not
necessarily go away when the tower is not in operation and that MSP ACTC controls St. Paul's traffic
at that time. She said, however, that there is less activity during the nighttime hours and the odds are
better for a 3-mile turn. Mr. Eginton said he was concerned about his community being hit with aircraft
noise ai�er the 3-mile corridor and would like to see aircraft turning as soon as possible. Ms. Greene
said the air traffic controllers do issue tum orders as soon as possible after three miles, but that it takes
a while for an aircraft (depending on a number of variables) to make the full 180° turn. Ms. Greene
also assured 1VIr. Eginton that air traffic controllers will always turn an aircraft as soon as possible to
reach its ultimate destination heading. Mr. Eginton emphasized that the sooner aircraft are turned,
either to the north or to the south, the better it is for his community.
JOHN NELSON, BLOOMINGTON, MOVED AND DICK SAUNDERS, MINNEAPOLIS,
SECONDED TO ACCEPT THE APRIL 9, 1999 "CROSSING IN THE CORRIDOR: AN
OPERATIONAL FOLLOW UP ANALYSIS" REPORT, AND THAT THE STAFF SEND A
LETTER TO THE AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL TOWER PERSONNEL THANKING THEM
FOR THEIR PARTICIPATION AND COOPERATION IN INCREASING THE USE OF THE
CORRIDOR "CROSSING" PROCEDURE AND ENCOURAGING `THEM TO CONTINUE
THEIR EFFORTS IN THIS REGARD. THE VOTE WAS UNANIMOUS. MOTION
CARRIED.
Kevin Batchelder, Mendota. Heights, and John Nelson, Bloomington, commented that these results
illustrated (1) a significant MASAC accomplishment and (2) that working at the "margins" of noise
abatement procedures can have a positive effect.
Carl Rydeen, FAA, said he had expected a larger increase in compliance and felt his controllers could
perform at an even higher level.
Cindy Greene, FAA, asked staff if they would perform a similar, but less in depth, analysis for the FAA
in order for Mr. Rydeen to be able to track the controllers' performance in regards to this procedure.
Roy Fuhrmann, Technical Advisor, said staffwould be happy to do so.
PART 150 PROGRESS REVIEW
Roy Fuhrmann, Technical Advisor, briefed the mernbers on the progress of the Part 150 Study Update.
The following is a summary of this briefing:
➢ Staf� met with city and state agency representatives on Thursday, April 8, 1999 concerning the '
scope of work. He said comments taken at the meeting and in written form will be incorporated into __ �
3
�
the scope of work as an addendum.
The project's time frame has been shortened by about 3 months.
Approximately 6-7 written comments have been received.
Work will move forward with the generation of a base case contour following the contour
generation discussion.
Reconstruction of the south parallel runway began on April 5, 1999.
are available on the Noise Complaint and Infortnation Hotline
department's website at www.maCavsat.orq.
Updates on the reconstruction
at 612-'726-9411 and on the
Chairman Salmen said a good number of Northwest's aircraft were precluded from using the south
parallel runway on Monday April 5�' and Tuesday, Apnl 6"', but that it will not represent a normal
occunence during reconstruction.
PART I50 CONTOUR GENERATIONDISCUSSION
Roy Fuhrmann, Technical Advisor, introduced Ms. Kim Hughes of HNTB. The following is a
summary of the discussion.
➢ In 1980, FICON established DNL as the preferred metric for considering land use impacts.
➢ In 1981, the FAA adopted DNL as their single system for assessing impacts from aircraft noise.
➢ DNL is the day-night average noise level. It represents a 24-hour annual average metric.
➢ DNL penalizes nighttime operations by IOdB. (Graph)
➢ DNL 65 is the contour the FAA uses to assess compatibility.
➢ The Integrated Noise Model (INM) does not consider ambient noise levels. It only considers
individual aircraft noise events and then averages them.
➢ (Input to I��tM diagram)
➢ There is no standard tolerance for INM. The INM is dependent upon the quality of the inputs.
➢ The most important input is the average number of daily flights.
➢ The second most impartant input is the conect engine types.
➢ The third most important input is the correct number of hushkitted engines.
➢'The fourth most important input is to be sure the ground tracks are conect.
➢ The fifth most important input is the stage links to be sure the conect take-off weights are used.
➢ Further down on the list are inputs such as the average temperature at the airport.
Aviation Activi and Operations
➢ The project will use a combination of the operational levels from ANOMS data and the number of
operations the FAA generates on an aiuival basis at the airport. Ms. Hughes said it will probably
combine FAA's numbers with ANOMS' fleet mix information.
➢ The base year will be 1998-1999 and begin in April 1998. The inputs will need to be normalized by
taking into consideration the impact of the Northwest pilot's strike and the reconstruction of the
south parallel runway. Roy Fuhrmann, Technical Advisor, said it is important to use up to date
information in the base case contour generation, and since there will be airfield construction from
1998 to 2003, there is no way to choose a year that does not have some disruptions. He said there
simply is not a perfect 12-month year to choose from. Neil Clark, Minneapolis, asked why a three
or six-month period couldn't be used. Cindy Greene, FAA, said there are significant seasonal
4
C
changes in operations that it wouldn't be representative of a full year. Chairman Salmen said there
were other airline scheduling factors that needed to be accounted for, as well.
➢ ANOMS data. will be used to determine the fleet mix, including the number of hushkitted aircraft
operating at MSP.
➢ The base case contour will be a year 2000 contour because the FAA requires that the contour be for
the year during which it is submitted. Ms. Hughes said that although the base case contour will
initially be predicated on the year April 1998 through April 1999, it will need to be changed at some
point during the year 2000 to reflect the Stage II aircraft phase out. She said typically the FAA
would require a sensitivity analysis if the base case contour was submitted during the year after it
was generated to be sure there were no significant differences. But, in the case of the 2000 contour,
there will be significant changes in the fleet mix.
➢ Cunently, 1NM version 5.2 is being used. Yet, within the year, version 6.0 is expected to be
available. Although initially version 5.2 will be used, when version 6.0 becomes available, the same
inputs for version 5.2 will be input into version 6.0 so that the communities have all the benefits of
the most recent version. Ms. Hughes said she wanted to be sure members Irnew that there could be
slight changes between the 5.2 contour and the 6.0 contour. Roy Fuhrmann, Technical Advisor,
said MAC feels there is an obligation to use the most cunent model for contour generation.
➢ The Integrated Noise Model (INM) is a computer model that attempts to simulate the average daily
annual noise level experienced at an airport. In order to do this, it uses the annual average number
of daily operations and the average fleet mix to calculate the noise contours.
➢ The INM uses standard profiles for both arrivals and departures, as well as standard noise levels for
each engine type.
➢ The INM incorporates G:A. and Milita.ry aircraft, along with commercial.
➢ The INM computer software is available to the public for $250 from the FAA and can be used on
more than one computer. The FAA's design review group, rnade up of INM's larger users, meets
annually to review proposed enhancements to the model.
➢ Obtaining up-to-date information from each airline operating at MSP will be very important.
➢ ANOMS data will be used to develop the "day-night split" because it has the most accurate
information for this airport.
Aircraft Performance
➢ Maximum take-off weights are derived from arrival and destination information, which can be
obta.ined through ANOMS data..
➢ Average temperature information is obtained through the National Oceanic Atmospheric
Association (NOAA).
Pilot Technique
➢ The thrust level aircraft use for takeoffs at MSP needs to be deternuned. 'This information will be
obtained through the air camers.
Air�port Factors
➢ Iriformation contained in the FEIS will be used to deternune future use of the North/South runway. i
➢ John Nelson, Bloomington, asked Ms. Hughes to examine the information from the March 12, 1999 i

MASAC Operations Committee meeting regarding nighttime opera.tions and the difFerences in
scheduled versus actual opera.tions. Ms. Hughes said, typically, the OAG schedule is used, with
modifications being made based on ANOMS data. Roy Fuhrmann, Technical Advisor, said all
available information will be used, including, to the greatest e�ctent possibte, information on the
number of unscheduled flights arrive at MSP due to weather conditions.
Chairman Salmen clarified that�hushkitted aircraft are Stage III aircraft and meet Stage III aircraft
guidelines. Neil Clark, Minneapolis, asked Chairman Salmen where he could obta.in information on
huskitted aircraft noise levels. Chairman Salmen said that information is available in the FAA's Part 36
document. He said Part 36 established guidelines for aircraft to meet Stage III noise level requirements
and that the hushkit manufacturers designed them to meet these guidelines or limits. He said "Stage III"
is a noise level output certification established by the FAA through Part 36. Roy Fuhrmann, Technical
Advisor, told Mr. Clark that the Part 36 document could be found at www.faa.qov.
Jan DelCalzo said a frustration with the previous Part 150 update was that there was a significant
change in Northwest's fleet mix one year after the contour was generated, which made the 1996 contour
suspect from that point on. She asked if the FAA would approve a change in an approved contour given
these types of significant changes without having to repeat the update process. Ms. Hughes said an
NEM Update could be undertaken, but would still require FAA approval. Ms. Hughes said if a
significant change occurs within the NEM and additional homes are included in the contour a new Noise
Compatibility Program (NCP) would have to be undertaken.
Jamie Verbrugge, Eagan, asked how the high forecast for the year 2005 of 575,000 operations would be
used. Ms. Hughes said the high forecast operational level of 575,000 operations wil] be used for the
2005 contour but the fleet mix used for the FEIS will be modified based on current information.
�,
Dick Saunders, Minneapolis, asked if GPS capabilities will be incorporated into the Part 150 Update.
Ms. Hughes said within Part 150 there is consideration for arrival and departure procedures using GPS.
She said the FAA, however, is more accepting of land-based navigational aids for setting up standard
departures and arrivals.
Ms. Hughes explained that the Part 150 document will conta.in three contours: a year 2000 base case
contour, a 2005 contour and a 2005 abated contour, which will include all the recommendations or
improvements made as part of the document. This last contour would then be used far deternuning
eligibility for the sound insulation program.
Demand Capacitv
➢ Information from the FEIS regarding the use of the North/South runway will be used, unless the
environment changes significantly. The FAA controllers are bound to using the north/south runway
in a manner consistent with the FEIS. At this point, local air traffic and center air traffic are
working out the best way for this to happen operationally.
John Nelson, Bloomington, noted that the City of Bloomington has consistently opposed the turn that
takes aircraft back over the city. He said the city's support of the new runway was contingent on
aircraft being taken away from the heavily populated areas of central and east Bloomington. He noted, �
6 `
however, that the FEIS did not take into account the city's objections. He said the residents of
� Bloomington have been told that depariures from the new runway will be concentrated to the east of
Cedar Avenue and that the City will do everything possible to malce sure this happens.
Aircraft Operations
➢ Runway Utilizaxion: ANOMS da.ta will be used for deterniining the base case conditions. Runway
utilization is deternuning how the runways at an airport operate on an annual average basis.
Nighttime and daytime conditions, as well as air carrier and general aviation operations, are broken
down, which illustrates how different types of aircraft use the runways at an airport.
➢ Flight Tracks: ANOMS data will be used.
➢ Profiles: ANOMS data will be used to deternune the standard profiles of the most heavily used
aircraft operating at MSP.
➢ Run Ups: Run ups have not been included in the DNL calculation in the past but will be included in
the present update.
Possible Special Studies
➢ The INM accounts for some hushkitted aircraft,. but not all. Because the communities surrounding
the airport are concerned about the differences in Stage III hushkitted noise levels versus
manufactured Stage III levels, the Part 1S0 Study Update will attempt to incorporate a study on
noise levels at certain positions to confirm hushkitted engine data..
➢ Verification of departure profiles for the major aircraft operating at the airport.
➢ Use noise monitoring data to establish ambient annual levels to validate the INM contours.

The two items mentioned at the beginning of the meeting were added to the agenda.
Roy Fuhrmann, Technical Advisor, reported that Morcon Construction was the successful bidder for the
RMT installation project with a bid of $183,086. The Full Commission is expected to approve the item
this month. Installation of the RMTs will occur as soon as possible after the awarding of the contract.
A definite schedule will be drawn up and distributed to the communities once staf� is able to rneet with
the contractor.
Dick Saunders, Minneapolis, asked staff if they were satisfied with the altitude of the RMT at Kenny
field. Roy Fuhrmann, Technical Advisor, said the altitude is satisfactory for both staff and the
manufacturer.
John Nelson, Bloomington, asked if the Inver Grove Heights location had been settled. Chad Leqve,
MAC Advisor, said the RMT will be placed on Arkansas Avenue, just south of the original location
identified. The IGH Noise Abatement Council has indicated the location is satisfactory. Mr. Leqve
said it will be located in a residential area.
A Continuing Noise Consultant is being sought, on an as needed basis, to provide staff with expertise
and additional analysis capabilities for the future. This consultant will be used for projects outside the
�
Part 150 Study Update. Request for Qualifications (RFQ) have been sent to over 50 companies.
Chairman Salmen encouraged the members to review the information on the GRE's in preparation for
the March 30, 1999 meeting. Jamie Verbrugge, Eagan, asked if it would be possible to discuss the
results of the test cell monitoring project at that time due to the fact he would be unable to attend the
May meeting. Chairman Salmen said the item could be included on the agenda if there is time and the
committee agrees to continue the meeting.
Mr. Verbrugge also reported that the Eagan Airports Council wishes to review a year's worth of logs for
ea.ch of the three test cells to be certain of the types of aircraft engines being tested in each of them.
Chairman Salmen asked Mr. Verbrugge to forward a written request to him.
John Nelson, Bloomington, asked if any other city anticipates asking for furkher testing of the test cell
facility. Dick Saunders, Minneapolis, said a Minneapolis delegate has raised the possibility: Chairman
Salmen said from Northwest's perspective they do not anticipate any further testing to be done and
believes the testing that has already taken place is applicable to the area around the entire airport. Mr.
Nelson said he does not believe the test cell is a significant source of noise compared with the other
sources of noise and that the matter should be put to rest once the City of Eagan's request is fulfilled.
There was a disagreement between Neil Clark, Minneapolis, and John Nelson, Bloomington, regarding
the validity of the testing methods. Mr. Nelson said he believes concentrating on reducing run up noise
through the possible insta.11ation of a GRE is more important.

Subject: MSP Part 150 Study
Dear Mr. Fuhrmann:
.�e...�.�d,.u�.rs.ym:,�,�, �;��„���
1 am writing in connection with MSP's stated intention to include residential sound insulation
to the 60 DNL contour as an element of its Noise Compatibility Program (NCP) in the cuRent
MSP Part 150 Study. As Dawn Weitzei discussed at the April 8 meeting conceming the Part
150 Study, Richfield's understanding is that FAA policy conceming federal funding of sound
insulation projects is based on 65 DNL and that the FAA has never approved sound
insulation to the 60 DNL contour in any Pa�t 150 Study. Under the circumstances� we
question the necessity and advisability of including in the NCP an element that the FAA will
almost certainiy rejecf.
Our concern about including sound insulation to the 60 DN� contour in the NCP is
heightened by assertions that, due to the prohibition against diversion of airport revenue,
FAA disapp�oval of that element of the NCP would preclude MAC from using its own funds
for that purpose. It is our understanding that even though the FAA would not designate
federal money for mitigation out to a 60 DNL, the N1AC would be funding the expansion of the
�Qun� ir�sul�#��� pr��ram �,�it�in �ts o�ran op�ratirg budg�t. N9AC ie�enu�s ca� �rE used to
soundproof Momes within the 60 DNL contour because the intent is to mitigate environmental
impacts associated with operation of MSP. The FAA's 65 DNL standard is a reflection of
federal funding constraints, among other things, but is expressly not intended to preclude
state and local govemments from establishing their own threshold of significant impacts. An
exampte of this is reflected in the Minnesota legislature's requirement that, before
constructing the North-South Runway, MAC "shall develop a prog�am to mitigate noise in
those parts of the metropolitan area that are located outside the 1996 65 Ldn contour but will
be located within the 65 �dn contour as established after the new runway is in ope�ation."
Minn. Stat. 473.661, subd. 4(d). Mo�eover, the legislature has required MAC to fund the
necessary mitigation: "[T]he commission shall reserve in its annual budget, until noise
mitigation measures are completed, an amount of money necessary to implement this noise
mitigation program in the newly impacted areas." Id.

Piease advise if MAC disagrees with any aspect of our understanding of the airpart's
obiigation to mitigate noise impacts from the new runway to the 60 DNL contour. the lack of
any �eed for FAA approval to praceed with that mitigation, and the fact that disapprovai of
any such sound insulation element in an NCP by the FAA would not affect MAC's legal ability
and responsibility to compiete such mitigation. Assuming that we share the same
understanding of these issues, if MAC insists on retaining residential soundproofing to the 60
DNL contour as an element of the NCP, we urge that element to state that such
soundproofing wouid be implemented by MAC with or without federai funds. Then if, as
expected, the FAA declines to make thafi element eligibie for federai funding, its denial
should not state or impiy that MAC funding of that mitigation is precluded.
Thank you for your consideration of Richfield's concems.
Sincerely,
