SUB,jECT: Part 150 Update, 2005 Forecast
DATE: August 4, 1999
NIASAC
The Part 150 Study Update activities are now concentrated on development of the 2005 Unmitigated
DNL 60 Noise Contour and the supporting information. An outline of the topics for discussion and
associated issues to be presented are provided below:
� A description of the forecasted 2005 fleet mix will be provided. Additionally, a
detailed description of the past Dual Track High Scenario fleet mix will be
described so that fleet mix changes are clearly identified.
*#- The INM unmitigated 2005 input data will be described with details provided �
on the following items: Dual Track assumptions for Runway 17-35; airport run-
way use, and anticipated track use at a minimum.
�- An illustration of the unmitigated 2005 DNL contour depicted over existing
land uses will be provided.
�- A listin� of recommended noise mitigation measures to be carried forward in
the Part 150 alternatives analysis will be provided and briefly described. The
list of ineasures will include land use and noise abatement measures and will
seek the committee's concurrence for presenting these measures to the public at
the ne:ct series of public meetings.
The contour development will utilize actual aircraft tracking information obtained from the Airport Noise
and Operations Monitoring System to develop the INM tracks. HNTB and MAC staff are using aircraft
arrival and departure paths and elevations from all operations to �enerate a the basis for the forecasted
contour that will most accurately represent the future conditions.
Staff anticipates bein� able to present to the MASAC Operations Committee, the above mentioned
information for review at the re�ularly scheduled November 12, 1999 meeting. Additionally, we are
scheduling three workshop meetin�s for November 30, December 1 and 2, to disseminate this information
to the general public. At these mee[ings, the public will be able to review the above listed data, the 1999
validation contour, the purpose and need for the Part 150 Study Update and the Part 150 process.
MAC staff will provide an update on any other issues rela[ed to the proaress of the Part 150 Study Update (l�
at the November 12, 1999 re�ularly scheduled MASAC Operations Committee meetin�. `.

Mr. Neil Clark .

Minneapolis, MN 55419
Dear Mr. Clark, �
Thank you for attending a meeting at the Bloomington City Hall on October 20, 1999 concerning the utilization of
daily DNL data provided in the MASAC Technical Advisors Report. - '
Joining us in the meeting were Mr. Duane Hudson of the Bloomin�on Environmental Health Division and Mr.
Schane Rudlang of the Bloomington Engineering Division. Nir. Glenn Strand, a MASAC member from
Minneapolis, was also present.
When attempting to apply statistical tools to the daily DNL ANOMS data, Bloomington staff inembers urje full
consideration of the following points of information:
David Moore and George McCabe, in their textbook titled Introduction to the Practice of Statistics, Second Edition,
' � observe that: "CorreIation and regression are powerful tools for measuring the association between two variables
and for e�pressing the dependence of one variable on the other. These tools must be used with an awareness of their
limitations." (Pg. 1'71)
The variable of time used in the ANOMS regression has a very weak link to the loudness of sounds recorded at the
RMT's. Correlation coefficient analysis of the time/DNL variables has generated numbers that are unsatisfactory in
establishing that good correlation exists between the x andy (time/DNL) variables . The substitution of experimental
theoretical values for x, related to aircraft overflights, has been more successful in generating much stronger
correlation coefficients.' One could find the observation that overflights are linked strongly with noise recorded at
the RMTS is overly simplistic, however, this comparison stands up to the accuracy/confidence challen�e test of
conelation given in the formula provided below:
r=
(n)(� �7') — (� x)(�Y)
�n) � (x — r) z � (.v — .v)'
Notes:
1. Where "n" is the number of data pairs in the scatter diagram.
2. If the value derived from the equation is between 1 and 0.90, or, -1 and -0.90, the re�ession line is more
meanin�ful than if the equatiori yields values beriveen O.S9 and —0.39. For a complete discussion of the formula
� In this experiment, equivalent values for x were given as follows: 40 DNL = 10 overfliphts, 45 DNL = l i overflights, 50 DNL = 20
overflights, 55 DNL = 25 overflights, 60 DNL = 40 overflights, 6� DNL = 50 overflights, 70 DNL = 55 overfli�hts, and 75 DNL = 60
overflights. These values were selected based upon a limited number of ANOMS data sets for a RI�IT in Bloomington; they tivere used for
experimental purposes only. If one �vere to estabiish more e:cact equivalencies, more research and testin� of the overfli�ht numbers �vould be
� needed. At present, ihe daily count of aircraft over an RMT which actually influenced the daily DNL is not reported. It is unlcnown whether
-' ANOIviS can report the aircraft count contemplated here. In addition, greater specificity regarding the day/nieht splits, arrival/departure splits,
and aircraft type splits �vould be needed for summary and forecast reporting purposes.
An Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunities Empioyer
�
and related matters, see Understandable Statistics, Third Edition, Chapter 10, "Regression and Correlation", by
Charles and Corrine Brase. .
3. Moore and McCabe state that "even a stron� correlation does not imply a cause and effect relationship." (Pg.
173)
An alternate analysis, which mi�ht hold promise is the production of a cumulative histo�am for the DNL data
collected at any given RMT. Such analysis could be e:cpressed in comparative tables and would yield the following
type of narrative: "Durin� March at this RMT, there tivere x number of DNL's between 75 and 80 decibels, x �'
number of DNL's between 70 and 74 decibels, and so on: ' This type of histogram would allow for monthly and
annual comparisons, and possibly could be employed to make informed statements about the sound levels recorded
at any RMT.
Regression lines are best suited to modelin� missing data within a data set. In this case, all.the data is available, no
regression is necessary. Fur[her, the re�ression line mi�ht lend to incorrect e,c�apolation of a non-exister.t."trend"
for unknown conditions ouuide the data set. For example, six months of downward trending from January to June
does not mean that 7uly will be quieter yet at any given RMT. On this point McCabe and Moore write, "Remember
the danger of e.ctrapolation, the use of a regression line to predicty at values ofx removed from the range ofx=.
values used to fit the line. Most relationships remain linear only over a restricted range of x, so estrapolation can
yield silly results." (P?. 174)
One could observe that the linear rejression line obscures more meanin?ful data, such as the line �aph of DNL's
over a certain time period, without the re�ression line applied to the data set.
In closin�, consider the Brases' comments about regression lines on widely scattered data sets, data sets that are �„
strikingly similar to the ANOMS DNL data sets under review. "In some sense there is another problem which
precedes that of finding the `best fitting line'. That is the problem of determining how well the points of the scatter
diagram are suited for the fittin� of arry line. Certainly if the points are a very poor fit for arry line, there is little use
in tryin� to fmd the `best fit' line." (Pg. 385)
In plain terms, the re�ression line shown on the ANOMS data set, does not represent the widely scattered data
reported for some of the RIviT sites, due to the distance of many data points to the line itself. It is this point that the
Brases' are emphasizin� in the quote given above.
'Thank you for you consideration of these points. I appreciate all of the work you have done in this area and look
forward to continuin� our mutual efforts to make sense of the ANOMS data.

AGENDA
Part 150 Runway 17/35 Noise Abatement Departure Procedures (see information packet "Noise
Abatement Options for Runtivay 17/35)
�
Kim Hughes, HN'I`B, introduced the meeting's agenda.
Assicnzptions Used in Dual Track EIS
• Runway 17/35 is a primary departure runway to the south.
• Approximately 37% of all departures at MSP wili use this runway to the south.
• Approximately 17% of all arrivals will use this runway from the south.
• Departures to the north were modeled for less than 0.05% of annual operations.
• Runway 17/35 will not be used to or from the north as per an agreement with the City of
Minneapolis. ATC will only use this nmway to or from the north due to an ovemding safety issue,
weather conditions that merit it's use and temporary runway closures due to snow removal,
construction or other activities at the airport.
• Flight tracks have been developed for runway 17/35 in cooperation with FAA ATC to reflect
controller separation and destination requirements.
• Percentage use of tracks was deternzined from destination and airfield capacity requirements.
Ra�nway I7 Track Development �
Course Dzvergence
• Successive aircraft departing from the same runway must be separated to ensure flight safety. Flight
. safety is ATC's main concern.
• Course divergence of 15° decreases the time between successive departures, thus increasing runway
capacity while maintaining safe separation.
• There must be a minimum separation of one mile and the aircraft must be airbome bettiveen
successive departures with course divergence of 15° or more. When aircraft travel divergent
courses, the separation between them quickly increases, even if aircraft speeds vary. �
• Course divergence can only be used in a radar environment. Radar helps ensure that minimum
separations are maintained.
• Withaut radar, course divergence cannot be used and a minimum of three miles is needed between
successive departures. This dramatically reduces runway capacity.
• Using course divergence at MSP, ATC will clear an aircraft for departure when the preceding
aircraft is at least 6,000 feet down the runway, has taken off and the landing gear is retracted.
Ms. Hughes then displayed a diagram of runway 17/35's EIS determined flight tracks. The following
headings are included in the diab am along with the. EIS determined percentage of departures for each
track using that runway, both commercial and general aviation:
• 100°
• 165°
• 175°
• 190°
. ?ps�
• 250°
• 290°
IVIs. Hughes cautioned, however, that there would be dispersion along and between the tracks sho�vn on
the diagram.

Ricnway 17NA.DP
Close-in versars Distant NADP Review
• Close-in procedures were developed to reduce aircraft departure noise in areas close to the airport.
• Distant procedures were developed to reduce aircraft departure noise in areas further away from the
airport.
Currently, the close-in departure procedure is used off runways 30L and 30R, �vhile the distant
departure procedure is used off the remaining runways.
Close-in NADP
Ms. Hu�hes briefly explained the general procedures followed by the pilot when performisig a close-in
departure procedure. Ms. Hughes noted that when an aircraft's flaps and slats are not retracted, the
aircraft makes a louder sound. The maximum allowable speed for an aircraft below 10,000 feet is 250
knots.
In a close-in depariure procedure an aircraft reduces thrust sooner and maintains takeoff flaps longer
than in a distant departure procedure, which results in a quick climb and allows the aircraft to "pop"
up over communities close to the airport. After reaching 3000 feet, however, the aircraft must
substantially reduce its rate of climb and accelerate to a sufficient airspeed to retract flaps and slats.
For distant communities, this means the aircraft is at a lower altitude than it would be if the aircraft
were performing a distant departure procedure.
Distant NADP
-- i�Is. Hughes briefly explained the general procedures followed by the pilot when perfornling a distant
� � deparhzre procedure. The distant procedure is standard at most airports in the country. During this
procedure the aircraft accelerates quickly and uses this airspeed to gain altitude.
Takeoff Profiles
Ms. Hughes then displayed several takeoff profiles for both hushkitted and manufactured Stage 3 aircraft
with graphs for both the distance and altitude and the distance and single event sound level for each
aircraft.
The "Distant NADP" depicted on the graph is the standard profile used in the InteQrated Noise Model
(INM). The "Distant RT NADP" is a distant procedure using reduced thrust and is more typical of the
procedures flo�vn at MSP. �
Ms. Hughes noted that, compared to a hushkitted DC9, the noise level associated with an A320 is
dramatically lo�ver. In other �vords, �vith the newer generation aircraft the noise levels associated with
each depariure profile becomes less perceptible than hushkitted aircraft noise levels.
Single Event Level (SEL) Contoatrs
i�Is. Huahes then displayed SEL contours for each flight track off runway 17 at an 80 dBA level. An 80
dBA sound le�-el is similar tq the sound a motorcycle makes. The SEL noise metric is equal to the sound
exposure of a single noise event compressed into one second. SEL �vas chosen for this analysis because
it considers the duration of the sound event.

Ms. Hughes noted that a departure profile for nuiway 17/35 would need to be deternuned in order to �
___ ____produce_. both the 2005 unmitigated contour and the 2005 mitigated contour. The preceding and ''
following information has been provided for that purpose.
• Close-in and distant departure profile contours are depicted for both a DC9 hushed and an A320
aircraft at the 80 dBA sound level.
• For each flight track, the A320 contour was substantially smaller than the DC9 hushed.
• The contours show that the close-in procedure benefits communities closer in to the airport and the
distant procedure benefits those farther out from the airport.
Kevin Batchelder, l�Iendota Heights, asked why an SEL contour was used rather than a DNL. Ms.
FIughes said the SEL contours help to deternzine NADP impacts, but that a DNL contour will be
considered with the recommendations.
Will Eginton, Inver Grove Heights, noting that the new runway would not be operational until at least
2003, asked if fleet' mix information was available for the future. He said given the dramatic difference
between the hushed and manufactured Stage 3 aircraft contours, that information would be helpful. i1�Ts.
Hughes said that information was being gathered and would be available at the next MA:SAC Operations
Committee meeting in early November. She said the fleet would be distributed along each track
accordingly.
John Nelson, Bloomington, noted that at a short distance from the end of the runway a densely populated
area of Blooming-ton is included in almost every one of the flight track contours. And, areas closer to the
end of the runway e:cperience higher noise levels for a longer period of time than areas farther away from �
the airport. �.
Ms. Hughes noted that for the arrival track (straight in) contour, the A320 is actually louder than the
DC9 hushkitted aircraft. She said newer generation aircraft are louder on arrival than the older
generation aircraft because thrust levels are higher on arrival and thus louder.
11�Is. Hughes then introduced a possible "river track" that could be used during times of lo�v traffic levels
to avoid residential areas. The river track, then, could be used as a nighttime procedure. The
approximate heading for the river track is 245°. According to the population data, the river track affects
fewer people than the 250° track. Ms. Hughes said this was only a cursory attempt to define a river track
and that a lot more work would have to be completed in order to develop one that could be used. She
said a river track proposal could be one of the noise abatement options for nighttime operations.
Popa�lation Coa�nts �
Ms. Hughes also displayed information on the gross population counts included for each contour. The
population data was derived from the 1999 Hennepin and Dakota county dwelling unit estimates and a
county-based average persons-per-household multiplier developed from the Metropolitan Council
demographic information dated April 1998.
The population analysis indicated that for the two most prominent aircraft at MSP (DC9 hushed and
A320) the distant NADP effects the least amount of people and that ne�v technology aircraft sho�v less
difference beriveen the NADPs.
Ms. �Iughes then displayed the population data for each flight track's 80 SEL contour for both the DC9
and the A320. She noted a;ain the difference in popularion affected by the 250° track versus the "river
track."
John Nelson, Bloomington, asked if the population counts could be provided to the members. Ms.
Hughes said the information could be provided.
Nighttime Options
Ms. Hughes outlined some of the possible options for nighttime operations off runway 17, including:
� Consider a preferred nighttime departure track including a possible river track.
• Consider limitations on the use of hushkitted aircraft with either the implementation of a preferred
runway or a curfew.
• Consider limited track dispersion (fewer tracks being used).
� Consider a limitation on the use of thri.ist reversers for arriving aircraft. �
Ms. Hughes noted that these are only possibilities and that the communities would be asked to make
recommendations on what nighttime options should be included in the final document.
Runway 17/35 NADP Discussion
Chairman Salmen noted the following:
The close-in and distant procedures were based on single event contours.
The contours are based on full thrust procedures.
The contours that will be produced for making a final decision on the NADP will be based on a
miYture of full and reduced thrust takeoffs, which could change the shapes of the contours.
Larry Lee, Bloominb on, asked why the river departure couldn't be used as one of the standard options.
Ms. Hughes said the river track requires more accuracy and would be difficult to fly without GPS. Roy
Fuhrmann, Technical Advisor, noted that there will be some dispersion along each of the tracks and
aircraft could fly very close to a river procedure. Cindy Greene, FAA, also said the ATC needs to
provide pilots �vith a specific heading in order to maintain positive aircraft separation. With a
navigational or cockpit procedure, such as the river departure, there is no positive ATC instruction to
keep aircraft away from each other.
Glenn Strand, I�Iinneapolis, noted that the difference in noise reduction between the close-in and distant
procedures is very small and wondered whether the committee was spending too much time on the
subject given this small difference. Cindy Greene, FAA, stated that even if it is true that the differences
are relatively small, there is a difference and that the FAA still requires airports to desi�ate a departure
procedure for each runway. She said the airport and the communities cannot simply i�ore making a
decision because the differences seem sznall:
Chairman Salmen said that over the past several years MASAC has had to work with small, incremental
improvements in the noise environrnent because the more significant improvements had already been
accomplished in the early years. He said this is one of those incremental irnprovements that can be
5
made.
John Nelson, Bloominb on, asked staff what type of decision was needed from the committee at this
meeting. Roy Fuhrmann, Technical Advisor, said staff needed to lrnow which departure procedure
should be used for the generation of the 2005 unmitigated contour, which would be presented at the ne:ct
meeting. He said since runway 17/35 was not operational at this point, an assurnption needs to be made
regarding the specific departure procedure for inclusion in the contour model. �Ie said the final
recommendation may be different than the procedure decided upon for the unmitigated contour.
As a point of clarification, Kim Hughes, HNTB, noted that the unmitigated contour is the starting point
at which the corrunittee can begin to make recommendations for the Part 150 update to improve the
environment. The 2005 mitigated contour will be the contour that is presented to the public prior to
submission to the FAA and will be based on the recommendations made by the Committee and
comments from the public.
Ms. Hughes also pointed out that regardless of the procedure used for the unmitigated contour, a
comparison will need to be made between the two procedures using a DIVL contour analysis.
A discussion then ensued regarding the benefits and differences between each NADP.
Kevin Batchelder, Mendota I�eights, encouraged the committee to consider treating those with the worst
noise impacts first.

THE UNDERSTANDING THAT THE MOTION DOES NOT RESPRESENT A�.�T
ENDORSEII�IENT OF THAT PROCEDURE AS A FINAL DECISION. THE VOTE WAS
ITNAIVI�i IOUS. 1VIOTTON CA,I2RZEA
John Nelson, Bloomin�on, referring to the 290° track, said he supported the elimination of that track if
feasible. Kim Hughes, I3N'TB, asked if he would consider a reduction in the percentage of use for that
track rather than a complete elimination.
Mr. Nelson then asked Cindy Greene, FA.A, whether or not the capacity of the runway could be
maintained if the 290° track was eliminated. Ms. Greene said two issues were involved in changing the
use of that track. One is the runway's capacity and the other is the fact that the track is included as part
of the Dual Track EIS. She said if the track was eliminated or the percentage use were changed,
regardless of whether or not it affected runway capacity, an environmental assessment or study may have
to be completed. She said operationally, ATC does not need the full 190° of divergence off the runway,
but that since the tracks were included in the Dual Track EIS, an environmental study may be necessary.
She said operationally, ATC needs only 60° off the end of a runway to place four tracks 15° apart and
eventually, with advanced navigational capabilities, a 10° divergence may even be considered.

Kim Hughes, HN'I'I3, said the ne:ct MASAC Operations meeting would entail taldng a closer look at all
of the operational and land use mitigation options, including those presented at this meeting. The
decisions made at this next meeting will be presented to the public at the November/December
workshops. She encouraged members to come to the zneeting prepared to discuss various options for
mitigation based on input from their constituents.
Cindy Greene, FA.A, asked Ms. Hughes how possible environmental studies might effect the timing of
the Part 150 Study Update submittal. Ms. Hughes said she felt that if environmental work were
necessary it wouldn't significantly change the contour and that the core portion of the contour could
continue being mitigated while the environmental work is being accomplished. She said it will need to
be made clear to the public in February which mitigation measures being submitted require
environmental assessments before they can be implemented.
There was a discussion regarding the length and breadth of the next Operations Committee meeting and
it was decided that the meeting should begin at 9:00 a.m., that lunch would be provided and that the
comrnittee members would detezmine the length of the meeting.
- Fzcture Teclz�tolo� �
( ) Ms. Hughes noted some possible recommendations that could be considered in the use of future
technology, for instance:
Developing a GPS augmented depariure procedure.
Developing a GPS augmented amval procedure.
Stage 4 noise specifications.
E�cvironmental Corzsiderations
FAA Order 1050.1D states that:
Netiv or revised ATC procedures which rozctinely roa�te air tr-affic over noise sensitive areas at less tha�z
3, 000 feet AGL are sacbject to EA or EIS docatrnentatzon.
Controversy over a proposed action may reqacire developrnent of czrz environmental docz�merzt.
Also, the Record of Decision for the Dual Track EIS requires that a departure procedure for runway 17
be considered to avoid residential areas in Bloomington. Furthermore, moving the modeled tracks or
revising track use will likely require environmental documentation and Part 150 recommendations could
include completion of environmental documentation to revise the track use or tracic location for the
current 290°s heading from runway 17/35.

Communications and Technical Advisor's Report Revisions
Since the majority of the communications received were in regards to the Technical Advisor's Report
revisions, they were discussed in tandem.
Neil Clark, l�Iinneapolis, was asked to explain his Relative Residential Noise (I2RN) and the Daily Ldn
metric.
Mr. Clark noted that MASAC takes thousands of ineasurements every year and said he questioned
whether or not these measurements were useful. He said it was important to him that MASAC lrnow
whether or not the noise environment around the airport has improved over time. He said he was also
concerned about fairness within the communities and that the RRN would illustrate which communities
were bearing the brunt of the noise.
Mr. Clark said his RRN metric would help MASAC learn more about whom is being impacted most by
aircraft noise levels at the airport through counting residences. �Ie recommended that the RRN metric be
added to the monthly reports.
A discussion of Mr. Clark's RRN and Daily Ldn metrics followed.
Will Eginton, Inver Grove Heights, said he rejected the RItN metric as valid partly because he feels the
use of the runways is a political decision and because it doesn't help change the noise environment.
Dick Saunders, IVlinneapolis, said if the RRN metric were to be adopted it should include the city of St. �
Paul and any other cities that may be brought into the noise contours in the future. �Ie also asked how
often the information would be published since he felt the results wouldn't change considerably from one
month to the ne:ct.
Roy Fuhrmann, Technical Advisor, said since the RRN metric is highly dependent on population counts
and that populafiion counts do not change significantly over time, there wouldn't be much change in the
results.
Bob Johnson, MBAA, said he was concerned with the proliferation of information already being
provided and on that basis could not support having RRN added to the monthly reports.
John Nelson, Bloominb on, asked l�Ir. Clark to give a more in depth explanation of ho�v his Daily Ldn is
calculated. He said in order for the staff to reproduce the metric and its results, they would need to know
the methodolo�y that was used, including whether or not it waS a linear or logarithmic metric. He also
noted that the Daily Ldn metric is dependent on the length of time that is being analyzed.
iVlr. Clark said his metric is linear and not logarithmic.
IVIr. Nelson also noted that the RRN metric illustrates what is already lrnown (i.e. that l�Iinneapolis'
population is the most dense and Mendota Heights' population is least dense).
Wil1 Eginton; Inver Grove Heights, reiterated his opposition to having the RRN published. saying he had
concerns about the term "relative" since annoyance is not relative on an individual basis. He said the
(.
t
0
term "cumulative residential noise" would be more accurate. He said he is concerned about the metric
being used as a political tool to decide where aircraft noise should be distributed.
Glenn Strand, Minneapolis, reiterated his concem over becoming too concerned with details and missing
the larger picture.
Roy Fuhrmann, Technical Advisor, presented staffs recommendations for continuing on with the
revisions to the Technical Advisor's Reports (TAR.). (See attachment)
Mr. Fuhrmann noted the following regarding the purpose and back�ound of the TAR revisions:
d� There was a request from MASAC to reduce the amount of unnecessary information provided in the
reports.
� Review of the TAR was added to MA.SAC's 1999 work schedule.
� The MASAC Operations Comrnittee reviewed the TAR during its May, July and August 1999
meetings. � �
di° The MASAC Opezations Committee approved the changes and sent it to the full MASAC body for
comment.
� The full MA.SAC body sent the TAR. back to the Operations Committee for further review.
Mr. Fuhrmann said as MASAC's technical advisor he has a responsibility and a desire to provide
MASAC members with the information they find most useful, whether it is in the form of a monthly
report, an annual summary or an individual request. �
I3e also noted that the MAC publishes information that may be useful to MASAC members including a
yearly operations report.
Mr. Fuhrmann then noted and recommended the following:
�° The TAR is a result of eight years of community informational requests.
� Many communities depend on the historical tracldng of data for local reports and trends.
d� No historically significant data should be removed from the report without the approval of the
MASAC Operations Committee.
�' New requests �or data must be approved by the Operations Comrriittee.
� The MASAC Operations Committee and the full body of MASAC should limit their discussion to
only the value of the data and not the display or presentation format.
� Display and presentation format will be coordinated with NIAC staff and graphic display experts.
,� The next eight months are critical for the Part 150 Study Update process and MA.SAC's efforts
should focus on these pressing issues.
,� The reporting format for the TAR can continue with all old TAR data and the newly included
information until a time at �vhich the Operations Committee is able to take it up once again.

SECOND.
�7
Glenn Strand, Minneapolis, confirmed with Roy Fuhrmann, Technical Advisor, that technical questions �
could still be asked of staff on an individual basis through the Monitoring and Information Request
Form.
John Nelson, Bloominb on, said he would like to discuss a work plan for 2000 before a�eeing to take
the matter up once the Part 150 process is complete. He said that although the Part 150 process is
important, he feels the Operations Committee needs to establish a work plan for 2000 soon. He
suggested that two issues be included in the work plan, including how to improve or modify the
Technical Advisor's Report and how to augment the information with summary trend reports. He also
reiterated his feelings about keeping the Technical Advisor's Report at the same technical level or higher
rather than for general public consumption.
JOHN NELSON, BLOOiVIIl�tGTON, MOVED AIVD DICK SAUNDERS, NIQVNEAPOLIS,

ANALYSES ON A QUARTERLY OR AlvNiJAL BASIS. THE VOTE WAS TTiVANTiV10US.
1Y10TION CA�RRIED.
Dick Saunders, Minneapolis, asked about the timeframe for deciding upon a work plan for 2000. Roy
Fuhrmann, Technical Advisor, noted that the Operations Committee was originally set to work on the
work plan at the November 1999 meeting.
�,
Chairman Salmen asked the members of the committee to come to the November 1999 Operations
meeting with a written list of recommendations for possible inclusion into the 2000 work pIan and
indicated that those recommendations would be taken up at the December meeting. He said he would
like to have at least the first quarter of 2000 accounted for by then and thought at least the first half of the
year would be taken up with the Part 150 process.
John Nelson, Bloomin�on, said he would like to have the work plan in place by the January 2000
MASAC meeting. As part of the Part 150 process, an additional meetin; was set for January 21, 2000
along with the November 12, December 10 and January 7 meetings.
The meeting �vas adjourned at 1:00 p.m. The next MASA.0 Operations Comiriittee meeting will be held
on November 12, 1999 at 9:00 a.m. From 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. there will be a presentation. Lunch
will be served at 12:00. The meeting will adjourn at the members'discretion.

Summary
Comprehensiveness has a trade-off: A large number of ineasures
have been proposed and included in previous Part 150's, piacing a
significant delay in obtaining approval.
Measures which require restriction of operations have only been
approved on a voluntary basis.
Multiple alternatives will require time to study: GIS will ailow analysis of
potential measures in a more efficient manner.

NIINNEAPOLIS - ST. PAUL INTERNATIONAL AIR1'ORT 2
FJEDER.AL AVIATION REGULATIONS (FAR) PART 150 UPDATE
• Part 1 SO Soacnd Insaclation Program �EYTStIIt� NC�' l�ieaszcre). This measure
proposes to alleviate the impact of aircraft noise by providing indoor environments
where normal activities can be enjoyed without interruption. The progrann funds the
soundproofing of existing private homes andlor public use facilities to achieve an
interior noise level reduction.
• Dedication of Avigation Easements (Proposed l►�teastcre). This measure would
require the dedication of avigation easements perrnitting aircraft overflights to the
MAC as a condition of buildin� permits for specified noise-sensitive land uses in
noise impacted areas.
• Fair Property Dzsclosure Policy (Proposed Measure). This measure incorporates of
aircraft noise information in sales documents for existing and new residential
development. This technique would require the disclosure of aircrafi noise levels by
property owners and their agents.
• Transfer Of Development Rights (Proposed Il�Ieasure). This measure involves the
purchase of an interest in privately-owned land wh.ich permits the MA.0 to prohibit —
any and all uses of the land which could be adversely impacted by aircraft noise.
Development potential would be transferred from properties within aircraft noise
zones to designated receiving areas outside of the noise zones.
o Creation Of Sozcnd Bi�ers/Bczrrzers (Proposed �Yleasure). This measure consists of
the combined use of sound barrier walls and/or berms and natural landscaping to
reduce noise from aircraft-related noise for the communities surrounding NISP.
• Land Banking (Proposed Mettsacre). This measure involves the fee-simple purchase
of privately-owned, vacant land by a local public agency to prevent non-compatible
land use development and to hold such property for later public use not necessarily
related to aviation.
NIINNEAPOLIS - ST. PAU� INTERI"�tAT�ONAL AIRPORT 1
FEDERAL AVIATION REGULATIOiV S(FAR) PART 150 UPDATE
�
The items below represent the proposed land use measures recommended for
consideration in the Part 1�0 Update.
• Amend Local Land Use Plans To Bring Them Into Conformartce With NletropolitarY
Coaincil's Noise Compatibility Guidelines (Existing Noise Compatibility Program
(NCP) 1bleasure). This measure involves the coordination of the NLqC, the
Metropolitan Council (MC), and the local communities to revise land use plans and
policies to be consistent with the noise compatibility guidelines set forth in the
Aviation Chapter of the Metropolitan Development Guide.
s Zotae For Cornpatible Development (Existing NCP .1t�Ieasrcre). This measure involves
the coordination of MAC, MC, and the local communities to review the eYisting
zoning policies in the Airport Noise Zones and to rezone, if necessary, to ensure
consistency with the Aviation Chapter of the Metropolitan Development Guide.
• Apply Zoning Performance Stanc�ards (Existin� NCP 1�Ieasicre). This measure
involves.requests by the MAC and the MC for affected local jurisdictions to adopt
ordinances based on the Model Ordinance for Aircraft Noise Attenuation. —
s Establish A Public Information Prob am/System (Existin� NCP Measure). This �
measure proposes to develop and distribute information conceming aircraft noise and
Noise Compatibility Program elements in a variety of digital and non-digital formats.
• Revise Bacilding Code (Existzrag NCP 1t�Ieasacre). This measure supports the effort to
modify the state and local Building Codes to require specified interior noise level
reduction for construction in the aircraft noise zones at MSP.
• Acqziire Developed Property In Noncompatible Use (Existittg NCP 11�Ieaszcre). This
measure proposes that at the initiative of the jurisdiction in which the noncompatible
land uses lie, the MAC �vould acquire property developed in noncompatible use, then
clear and either keep the land vacant as a buffer, sell it for redevelopment in a
specified compatible use, or use it for airport purposes.
• Property Pairchase Guc�rantee (Exzstirzg NCP 1tileasure). This measure is
implemented after the property o�vner has made a bona fide effort to sell the property
at fair market value: The acquired property would converted to compatible use or
insulated and returned to use to residential use with appropriate easements.

MSP Part 150
2005 Unmitigated Contour
INM Methodology
The methodology used to develop the 2005 unmitigated contour is similar to the
methodology used to develop the 1999 validation contour. The two primary changes are
to fleet mix and runway use.
Fleet Mix
The annual operations are projected to increase from 1395 daily operations in 1999 to
1575 daily operations in 2005. The new 2005 fleet mix is significantly different from the
fleet mix used in the development of the 2005 FEIS contour. Although the new fleet mix
contains the same number of operations, it also contains more DC-9 hushkit operations,
more 737-200 hushkit operations, and substantially increased regional jet operations.
There are a total of 316 additional jet operations in the new fleet mix, including an
additional 14.7 jet night operations. Considering the night penalty, this yields an
additional 448 jet operations.
Runway Use
Projected runway use for the MSP with the addition of Runway 17-35 was developed in
the FEIS through coordination with the FAA and ATC. The annual runway use
incorporates the different flows and procedures projected to be in use at the Airport with _
the addition of the new runway in 2005.
;' � The FEIS runway use was divided proportionally among the operational categories used
in the 1999 validation contour, and the proportion of aircraft in each operational category
in the new 2005 fleet mix. This ensures that INM incorporates the runway and track use
trends in use by cargo, passenger, and general aviation aircraft at day and night. It also
ensures that the overall runway use in the model matches that developed in the FEIS.
Net Changes in Contour
The 2005 unmitigated contour is larger than the 2005 FEIS contour. This is for several
reasons, including:
o The new fleet mix is "noisier" than the FEIS fleet mix. It contains more hushkit
aircraft. It also contains substantially more regional jet operations, which are
generally noisier than then turboprop aircraft they replaced.
• The latest versions of INM allow for more accurate modeling of takeoff profiles. This
includes close and distant noise abatement departure procedures, as well as
reduced thrust takeoffs.
o The data gathered by ANO�1S greatly improves the accuracy of the takeoff profiles,
fleet mix, and runway and track use trends modeled in INM. This data is used
extensively in the Part 150 Update, but was not available for the FEIS.
Future Actions
The runway and track use data used in the 2005 unmitigated contour was developed
using 1999 ANOMS data. At the end of this year, when operational data for the entire
year is available, the 2000 baseline contour will be developed. Data from the summer
1997 months will also be used to supplement the non-construction runway and track use

Novernber 9, 1999
I am responding to your inquiry relative to a request from Kevin Batchelder. T'he Metropolitan Au-ports
CVA 11�LlSuIVP (i�-iAC) :��ould like to asswre y�os cf o:u� cer.tin�.:ous effert� to be seas�t�ve t� Lhe feelin.�s of
those who live in close proximity to the Minneapolis/St. Paul International Airport (MSP). �
There is no doubt the airport imposes an impact to its neighboring communities. As a resuit, the MAC is
continuing to explore ways of minimizina the impact on surrounding communities, as well as, working
toward an equitable disiribution of the resultant impacts from MSP.
MSP is a large hub airport servicing iravelers from a large region including parts of North and South
Dakota, Iowa, Wisconsin and all of Minnesota providing a gateway to destinations around the world. An
airport of this maQnitude provides a place of operation for multiple unique aviation services including
charter, airline, carQo, corporate and commuter aviation. The role of MSP in the National Airport System
coupled with the national and international increasing demands for fast, convenient and safe air travel
necessitates continued capital improvements and increased operations to and from MSP.
The issue of nijhttime operations at MSP is and continues to be a topic of community and MAC concern.
The MAC is adamant about providin� as much ni;httime impact relief as possible to the communities
surroundinQ 1�1SP. In pursuit of that goal the MAC developed a voluntary nighttime noise pro�ram. This
pro�ram advocates no aircraft operation from 2230 to 0600 local time. If an operation is deemed an
operational necessity between 2230 to 0600 local time, the program solicits the use of a stage III aircraft
(quite enaine technolo�y). This pro�am has proved to be successful over the past seven years. The
procurement of such programs is a hi�h priority to the MAC, and will continue to be pursued.
MSP is a public use facility, which uses millions of federally funded dollars to procure capital
improvements on a reaular basis. Because IVSAC uses Federal dollars to �develop and maintain the facility
the federal government (FAA) reserves the right of refusal relative to proposed operationally restrictive
policies, if those policies conflict with determined FAA Cuidelines. The mentioned FAA �uidelines center
around the capricious and discriminatory operation of an airport and the impact it posses on the smooth
and orderly flow of interstate commerce. Due to the location of i�ISP and the large region which relies on
services from the facility, MAC has very little if any flexibility with respect to operational restrictions.
vlore specificallv, I followed up on your inquiry about operations occurrina over your residence on
October 26, 1999 between 2210 and 2240. After discussion with the Federal Aviation Adminisrration I
discovered no extenuation circumstances other than a predominate southeast follow of traffic due to
prevailina winds.
Enclosed is information relative to the operations you observed on October 26, 1999 bztwz�n 2? 10 and
22�0. There w•e; e rt 1 departure operations off runways 12L and 12R durin� the time period you speciFed

Roy Fuhrmann, Manager, Aviation Noise and Satellite Programs
Part 150 Update Progress Review
November 22, 1999
The Part 150 Study Update activities are now concentrated on evaluation of the 2005 Unmiti�ated DNL 60
Noise Contour and associated noise abatement techniques. Today's public meetings focused on the
following topics and associated issues:
�
�
�
A description of the forecasted 2005 fleet mix. A detailed description of the past
Dual Track High Scenario fleet mix.
The INM unmitigated 2005 input data, dual track assumptions for Runway 17-
35; airport runway use, and anticipated track use.
An illustration of the unmitigated 2005 DNL contour depicted over e}cisting
land uses.
�- Recommended noise mitigation measures to be carried forward in the Part 150
alternatives analysis. The list of ineasures include land use and noise abatement
measures and seek the publics comments on these as well as new measures.
The contour development used actual aircraft tracking information obtained from the Airport Noise and
Operations Monitoring System to develop the INM tracks. HNTB and MAC staff used aircraft arrival and
departure paths and elevations from all operations to generate a the basis for the forecasted contour that
will most accurately represent the future conditions.
MAC staff will provide an update on any other issues rela[ed to the progress of the Part 150 Study Update
at the November 30, 1999 regularly scheduled MASAC meeting.
If you have any questions, please contact me at 725-6326.

2. Approval of Minutes
_. �
The minutes of the September 28, 1999 MASAC meeting were approved as distributed.
Introduction of Invited Guests
There were no invited guests.
Receipt of Communications
A letter from Manny Camilon, St. Louis Park alternate, was received. Mr. Camilon wrote that he
was resianinQ from MASAC due to increased responsibilities at the city and that Steven Wolfe
would be his replacement.
4. Review of Summer Operations Activitv and Onaoina Construction Pro'et cts
Roy Fuhrmann, Technical Advisor, gave a presentation on the 1999 Summer Operations Activity
and Ongoing Construction Projects at the airport.
o Information on the runway use for Summer 1997, 1998 and 1999 was explained.
♦ During the summer of 1998 construction season, 43.8% of the carrier jet departures were off
runway 22.
s Durina the summer of 1999 construction season, only 34.6% of the carrier jet departures were
off runway 22. The difference between 1998 and 1999 levels is due to the loQistical
challen�es ATC faced using runway 4/22 in conjunction with runway 12R/30L.
♦ Overall, the north parallel runway experienced heavier use in 1999 than what is typical. ��
o Narrow-body aircraft were placed on the south parallel runway more often for arrivals during ...
the 1999 construction season.
♦ Wide-body aircraft were placed on either the north parallel or 4/22 runway during the 1999
construction season.
♦ Carrier jet a1-rivals on 4/22 durin� the 1998 and 1999 construction seasons didn't change
much from 1997 levels, but the departz�res off runway 22 did.
Chairman Nlertensotto asked when the center section of the south parallel runway would be
reconstructed. Mr. Fuhrmann said that project will not be considered until after the north/south
runw�ati• is built and operational. He said since the center section is not impacted as much as the
ends are during arrivals, reconstruction of the center section can be put off until then. He said it
is a possibility in the future, given the advancements in paving materials and equipment, that the
rumr�ay wouldn't have to be closed do«�n compietely to repave the center section. Mark Salmen,
NWA, said there are also plans to mill and overlay the center section next summer but that it
would be completed during the ni��httime hours.
Dick Saunders, Minneapolis, asked whether the eYtension of runway 4/22 to the north would take
place during the 2000 construction season. Roy Fuhrmann, Technical Advisor, said plans called
for the �vork to take place in 2001, not 2000. He also noted that the plans to extend the runtivay
are still not concrete given the fact that an EA is in process and that there is still land acquisition
that must be completed.
Chairman Mertensotto mentioned that MAC Commissioner Alton Gasper su�aested MASAC �%
invite Richard Anderson of Northwest Airlines to one of its meetings. Chairman Mertensotto �
said he would look into that possibility for the February or March meeting. �
Will Eginton, Inver Grove Heights, asked if the extension of runway 4/22 would affect how the
� runways are used at MSP. Roy Fuhrmann, Technical Advisor, said'the extension is beina
planned primarily to accommodate long haul, heavy aircraft.
Mr. Fuhrmann then reviewed the immediate past, current and future construction plans at MSP,
includina:
♦ The south parallel runway reconstruction project (1998-1999)
o Construction and e:ctension of Taxiway Whiskey (1999)
o Installation of an EnQineered Materials Arresting System (EMAS) (1999)
e Blast fence installation along Post Road (1999)
♦ Construction of a new 9-story parkin� structure (1999)
♦ Construction of a new airport Post O�ce
o Construction of additional inbound and outbound roadways (1999-2000)
s Construction of a new return-to-terminal loop (1999)
♦ Construction of a new revenue control building (1999)
♦ New Hubert H. Humphrey Terminal
♦ Extension of the Green concourse and re�ional ramp (1999-?000)
o Construction of a Green-Gold Connector (1999-2000)
o Construction of a deicing pads (1998-99)
♦ Construction of a materials storage facility (1999)
o Construction of the North/South runway (1999-2002)
{ � 5. Executive Committee A�pointments
Chairman Mertensotto noted that the Chairman of MASAC, per the bylaws, shall appoint an
Executive Committee, a non-policy, administrative body of MASAC.
JOI-�N NELSON, BLOOi�1INGTON, MOVED AND DICK SAUNDERS, MINNEAPOLIS,
SECONDED THE APPOINTMENT OF THE FOLLOWING MEMBERS TO THE
NIASAC EXECUTIVE COMNIITTEE:
DICK KEINZ, NIAC
BARRETT LANE, NIINNEAPOLIS
JENNIFER SAYRE, N�VA
LANCE STARICHA, EAGAN
THE VOTE WAS UNANIi�IOUS. f1IOTlON CARRIED.
October 8. 1999 Operations Committee Report - Mark Salmen
Mark Salmen, NWA, briefed the members on the October 8, 1999 Operations Committee. He
noted that the bulk of the meetin� was taken up �vith a Part 150 Update presentation and
discussion reQarding Noise Abatement Departure Profiles (NADP) for runway 17/35.
Mr. Salmen also reported that the Operations Committee had discussed continued revisions of the
Technical Advisor's report. Due to time constraints with the Part 150 Update Study, a motion
�' , was made throush the Committee to place this topic on its year 2000 work plan after the Part 150
. Update Study was complete, tentatively in June. The next meeting is scheduled for Friday,
November 12, 1999 at 9:00 a.m. Chairman Mertensotto encouraged members to attend the
meeting if they are able.
�
Chairman Mertensotto called for a motion to approve the present format of the Technical
Advisor's Report and to give the staff direction to continue producing the report in its present
format.
John Nelson, Bioomin�ton, said it is very important that the Part 150 Study Update process be
given precedence at MASAC.
There was a lengthy discussion regarding whether or not the Technical Advisor's report could be
chan�ed between now and when the Operations Committee takes the issue up in 2000. Chairman
Mertensotto said that if the full body voted to make a change that the change would certainly be
made with a majority vote, but that for now staff needs direction to continue producin� the
reports in the September 1999 formats.
Dean Lindberg, Minneapolis, said he would be willing to, on his own time, redesign the reports
for consideration by the Operations Committee at a later time.
Glenn Strand, Minneapolis, suggested that a small, informal committee be appointed to review
the information and layout of the Technical Advisor's report rather than havin� fo wait for the
Operations Committee to be able to address the issue. Chairman Mertensotto said the Executive
Committee would discuss this possibility at its next meeting.
Mark Salmen, NWA, objected to having another committee work on the Technical Advisor's
reports.
�/ .��:
Mr. Strand also noted that if inembers have information needs not met by the reports, they can
still fill out a noise monitoring and information request form. �`"
JOHN NELSON, BLOOMINGTON, MOVED AND MARK SALMEN, NWA, SECONDED
TO HAVE STAFF CONTINUE TO PRODUCE THE TECHNICAL ADVISOR'S
REPORT IN ITS PRESENT FORMAT, THAT THE OPERATIONS COMMITTEE WILL
TAKE UP THE ISSUE AS PART OF THEIR 2000 WORK PLAN, AND THAT THE
CONINIITTEE WILL DISCUSS INCLUDING TREND ANALYSES AT THAT TIME.
THE 1�IOTION PASSED BY MAJORITY VOTE.
7. Report of the Low Frequencv Noise Policv Committee MeetinQ - Dick Saunders
Dick Saunders, Minneapolis, reported that there had been no meetings since the last report. The
next meeting of the Low Frequency Noise Policy Committee is scheduled for November 10, 1999
at 3:00 p.m. in the Commission chamb�rs.
Report of the Communications Advisorv Board MeetinQ — Roy Fuhrmann
Roy Fuhrmann, MAC, reported on the October 7, 1999 Communications Advisory Board
meetinQ. He said the committee prioritized their work plan for 2000. Based on a budget of
$50,000, work items for 2000 include:
• A direct mail piece that will be combined with a Part 150 Public Hearing mailing
• A MASAC newsletter - published quarterly, first one to be distributed January 2000 t
o Publicity - news releases, media advisories, etc. �
o Ongoing information pieces sent to neiahborhood and city newsletters and weekly
ne�vspapers
• Continue to update and enhance the website
Bob Johnson, MBAA, asked that the full MASAC body have the chance to approve the content of
the newsletter before it is mailed out. Dick Saunders, Minneapolis, said the committee tivould do
its best, but that deadlines may not allow for lenathy review.
9. Report of the MAC Commission Meetina
Chairman Mertensotto reported on the October 1999 Commission meetin�. He noted the
followin�:
• The Commission approved the purchase of a new jetway for the Hubert H. Humphrey
Terminal. He explained that with Sun Country having two of the three gates, an additional
jetway is needed to handle the increase in charter travel over the winter.
10. Technical Advisor's Report
Chad Leqve, MAC Advisor, asked the members if there were any questions re�ardinQ the
September 1999 Technical Advisor's report.
Jill Smith, Mendota HeiQhts, noted that many of the top 10 noise events are being senerated by
hushkitted 727's and asked whether or not each aircraft is tested for Stage 3 compliance.
Mark Salmen, NWA, said individual hushkitted aircraft are not tested, but that each hushkit for
. �' � each aircraft and enaine type is tested to be sure it meets the Sta�.te 3 specifications.
Ms. Smith noted that the Operations Committee had generated a contour using the hushkitted 727
and asked what noise levels were used to generate that contour. Roy Fuhrmann, Technical
Advisor, said the FAA's Part 36 noise levels are used in the Integrated Noise Model (INM),
�vhich �ives noise levels for each aircraft and enaine type. He noted that the INM process was
validated usina actual RNIT noise level data. y
Mark Salmen, NWA, also noted that because there are proportionately more hushkitted aircraft
now than StaQe 2, more and more hushkitted aircraft will be�in to show up in the top ten noise
events. Yet,ythe hushkitted aircraft are still relatively quieter than the Stage 2 aircraft that
previousl�� showed up on the lists. Ne said eventually only hushkitted aircraft �vill show up in the
top ten lists because there ma�� no lon��er be Stage 2 aircraft.
Glenn Strand, Ivlinneapolis, said the concern is not hotiv mmzy hushkitted aircraft show up on the
top ten lists, but the noise level differences between Stage 2 aircraft and hushkitted aircraft. It was
noted that the hushkitted aircraft, ��•hen compared to their Sta�e 2 counterparts, are expected to
brina a� to � decibel reduction in noise levels. Roy Fuhrmann, Technieal Advisor, noted that a
hushkitted aircraft will never be as quiet as a comparable Sta�e 3 aircraft.
Sandra Col��in Roy, Minneapolis, asked if it is reasonable for a hushed 727 to aenerate noise
levels of 107 dBA. Mr. Furhmann said it is reasonable if the aircraft is fully loaded.
Cind�• Greene, FAA, noted that charter aircraft, like Champion Air, show up frequently in the top
ten lists because their flights are usually fully loaded and lona-haul.
Will Eginton, Inver Grove Heights, noted the large difference in operations from September 1998
and September 1999. Chad Leqve, MAC Advisor, said the difference is due to the NWA strike in
September 1998. (
1 l. Persons Wishina to Address the Council
There were no persons wishin� to address the council.
12. Items Not on the Aaenda
Roy Fuhrmann, Technical Advisor, reminded members that the next MASAC meetin� would take
place in conjunction with the public open house on November 30`h at the Nokomis Community
Center in Minneapolis.
13. Adiournment
Chairman Mertensotto adjourned the meeting at 10:00 p.m.

Summary
Comprehensiveness has a trade-off: A large number of ineasures
have been proposed and included in previous Part 150's, placing a
significant delay in obtaining approval.
Measures which require restriction of operations have only been
approved on a voluntary basis.
Multiple altematives will require time to study: GIS wiii allow analysis of
potential measures in a more efficient manner.

MINNEAPOLIS - ST. PAUL INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT
FEDERAL AVI�TIOiV REGULATIONS (FAR) PART 1�0 UPDAT]E
The items below represent the proposed land use measures recommended for
consideration in the Part 150 Update.
� Amend Local Land Use Pla�ts To Brzng Them Into Confof-r�tatice With Metropolita�t
Coacnczl's Noise Compatibility Gaiidelines �EXISt112a NOZS2 Compatibility Progra�n
(NCP) Measure). This measure involves the coordination of the MAC, the
Metropolitan Council (MC), and the local communities to revise land use plans and
policies to be consistent with the noise compatibility guidelines set forth in the
Aviation Chapter of the l�Setropolitan Development Guide.
• Zone For Compatible Development (Existing NCP lbfeastcre). This measure involves
the coordination of MAC, MC, and the local communities to review the existinj
zoning policies in the Airport Noise Zones and to rezone, if necessary, to ensure
consistency with the Aviation Chapter of the Metropolitan Development Guide.
• Apply Zoning Performance Standards (Existing NCP Measure). This measure
invoives requests by the MAC and the MC for affected local jurisdictions to adopt `
ordinances based on the Model Ordinance for Aircraft Noise Attenuation.
• Establish A Public Information Program/System (Existing NCP 1bleasure). This
�, __ � measure proposes to develop and distribute information concerning aircraft noise and
Noise Coznpatibility Prosram elements in a v�-iety of digital and non-di�ital formats.
• Revise Bacilding Code (Existin� NCP 1bleaszcre). This measure supports the effort to
modify the state and local Building Codes to require specified interior noise level
reduction for construction in the aircraft noise zones at MSP.
• Acquire Developed Properry In Noncompatible Use (Existin� NCP 1t�Ieasure). This
measure proposes that at the initiative of the jurisdiction in which the noncompatible
land uses lie, the MAC would acquire property developed in noncompatible use, then
clear and either keep the land vacant as a buffer, sell it for redevelopment in a
specified compatible use, or use it for airport purposes.
• Pr-opert,t-� Pur•clzase Guar-antee (E.r-istin,; NCP lt�leasure). This measure is
implemented after the property o�vner has made a bona fide effort to sell the property
at fair market value. The acquired property would converted to compatible use or
insulated and returned to use to residential use �vith appropriate easements.
IYIINNEAPOLIS - ST. PAUL INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT 2
FEDERAL AVIATION REGULATIONS (FAR) PART 150 UPDATE
• Part 1 SD Sound Insulation Program (Existing NCP 1�Ieasure). This measure
proposes to alleviate the impact of aircraft noise by providina indoor environments
where normal activities can be enjoyed without intemaption. The program funds the
soundproofing of existing private homes andlor public use facilities to achieve an
interior noise level reduction.
• Dedication of Avigation Easenients (Proposed Measure). This measure would
require the dedication of avi�ation easements permittin� aircraft overflights to the
MAC as a condition of buildin� permits for specified noise-sensitive land uses in
noise impacted areas.
s Fair Property Disclosure Policy (Proposed Il�reascrre). This measure incorporates of
aircraft noise information in sales documents for existing and new residential
development. This technique would require the disclosure of aircraft noise levels by
property owners and their agents.
s Transfer Of Development Rights (Proposed 1bleasure). This measure involves the
purchase of an interest in privately-owned land which permits the MAC to prohibit "
any and all uses of the land which could be adversely impacted by aircraft noise.
Development potential would be transferred from properties within aircraft noise �-�`� �
zones to desi�ated receiving areas outside of the noise zones. ._.
• Creation Of Sound Buffers/Barriers (Proposed �Lleasure). This measure consists of
the combined use of sound barrier walls and/or berms and natural landscaping to
reduce noise from aircraft-related noise for the communities surroundin� MSP.
• Land Bartkzng (Proposed Measure). This measure involves the fee-simple purchase
of privately-owned, vacant land by a local public agency to prevent non-compatible
land use development and to hold such property for later public use not necessarily
related to aviation.

October 1999 Top Ten Summary: 'The top ten noise events and the event ranges at each RMT for
Octabc:r 1999 were comprised of 86.2�7� departure operations. The predominant top ten aircraft type was
the Be�eing 727 with 6�.5�/0 of the highest Lmax evencs. Due to the nature of operations on the crosswind
runway, (4/2?) RMT's 9, 10, 11 and 12 in St. Paul are an exception. The predominant top ten aircraft type
over St. Paul was the Boeing 747 with 47.5% of the highest Lmax events.
Note: Unknown fields are due to data unavailability in FAA flight track data.

Park Service Policy
P�.RK SERVICE TO DESCRIBE METHODOLOGY
FOR PARK NOISE MEASUREMENT IN IVIANUAL
[The National Park Service (iVPS) is expected early in the new year to publish an
agency manz�al defzning the methodology the agency plans to use in measuring
aircraft overflight noise in national parks. The following paper, written by Wesley
R. Henry and William B. Schmidr of NPS, which was presented at Nov. 3 session of
the meeting of the Acoustical Society of America, traces some of the more signifz-
cant developments in the Par;c Service's efforts to address noise from air tour
operations and discusses current Park Service policy and plans.]
A reason, and perhaps the principal reason, for this joint Acoustical Sociery of
America/Federal Intezagency Committee on Aviation Noise (ASA/FICAI� session
is the fact that the National Park Service (NPS) has been increasin�ly active and
vocal in its efforts to protect the natural soundscapes of our national parks. A
number of recent events have tended to draw attention to this effort but its �enesis
' �es bact; decades. and pro'�abiy can be tr3ced t� ths feunr.iation �f the NPS in

Why is the NPS so concerned about protecun� its soundscapes along with the

connection to the natural world. One of the most important resources of the natural
world is its voice — or na[ural soundscape. In its pure state where no human noise
is present, natural soundscapes are slorious symphonies. However, the combina-
tion of shrinkinQ habitat couoled with an increase of human noise has created
conditions where non-human communication necessary to creature surviva] has

as the f���rest Service and the Bureau of Land Manasemen[.
have n��r — at least not yet? W�ile we are obviously not
presuming to speak for these other asencies, the reason in
the case of'the Park Service is the Ian�uaQe in our foundin�
le�islatic�n, the Park Service's Orsanic Act.
Titic l5 US Code Section i e: seq states that the purpose
c�f the nacional parks is "to conserve the scenery and the
natural and historic objects and the wiidlife therein and to
provicic for the enjoyment of the same in such manner and
hy such means as will leave thern unimpaired for the
enjoym�nt of futvre �enerations ... The authorization of
:lctivitics shail be construed and the protection, manase-
ment, :incl administration of these areas ... shall not be
exercisccl in derogation of the values and purposes for which
thesc v��rious areas have been established..."
'I'he5c words have been the subject of extensive analysis,
debate, and even liti�ation for years and the meanin� has
becomc clear. The first part of the quote imposes an
obligatic�n of the NPS to prevent impairment of park
ncsourccs and values so that they will be sustained for the

natural resourrr (��� ����. �,i���,i��� of this plan."
Airport Noi.se Report
In I987, the ConQress passed Public Law 100-91 thac,
amon� other things, mandated the "substantiai restorarion of
natural quiet" at Grand Canyon. The NPS defined substan-
tial restoration of natural quiet for Grand Canyon National
Park as more than 50 percen[ of the park achievinQ "natural
quit" conditions (i.e., no aircrafr audible) for 7� to 100
percent of the air tour day. In other words, subscantial
restocation of naturai quiet at Grand Canyon Nationai Park
(the only park where this phrase has been defined) wilI
require that there be natural quiet in half or more of the park
for most of the day.
In 1994 the NPS, at the request of Congress, prepared a
comprehensive report on the probiem of noise associated
with aircraft overflishts. As part of that report, the NPS
noted that "These policy statements [from NPS Manase-
ment Policies] make clear the importance of natural quiet as
a resource in many units of the National Park System. This
resource is defined as the natvral ambient sound conditions
found in those units."
Let us summarize some of the key points above:
• The NPS has identified the natural soundscape as a
resource of the parks for many years;
• As a resource, the soundscape falls under the "protect
unimpaired" mandate of the NPS OrQanic Act;
• The term "natural quiet" was a creature of the ConQress;
• Because of the history of tryinQ to control the impact of
aircraft noise at Grand Canyon National Park, the term
"restoration of natural cjuiet" and, to a larQe extent, the term
"natural quiet" iuelf, has become a term of art unique to that
P��� .. . . .
•"The National Park Service is usins the broade: term
"natural soundscape" to describe that condition where there
is no human-caused sound consistent with its historic
position.
Air Tours
RecognizinQ how we �ot to today's posidon on noise,
what additional observations are relevant?
First, as many have noted, the NPS has spent a �reat deal
of attention on the matte: of aircraft noise. Is the �IPS
"opposed" to aircraft? Is aircraft noise the only noise of
concern of the NPS? The answer to both questions is "no."
The NPS is home to both the Wrisht brothers' facilities
and to the site of the first powered fli�eh� at Kitty Hawk and
also uses aircraft as an integral part of iu dailv acavities.
Aircraft of all types are used for emersency operations and
routine administrative activities in a number of parks —
movin� NPS personne] and equipment, providin� surveil-
lance of wildiife and parri facilities, etc. Tney are also used
by taur operators and others to provide people who would
otherwise rot have the opportunity or chance to witness
some of the most masnificent scenery this country has to
ofier. The N�'S is, however, very concerned tna� the use of
aircraft be conducted in a manner that does no� imoair par:
resources. tiVe insist that the parks themselves obse:ve this
requiremen[ and fe�l it only reasonable [ha� o�ners aoide by
Airport Noise Reporc

this standard.
As a comment on this point, the Consress is, at this
moment, considerin� two slishtiv different versions of
lesislation that has been passed by both houses that deals
with the manner that air tours should be conducted over
national parks. The frame�Nork for these provisions did not
come from the F.AA or the Park Service but rather from a
working aroup, endorsed by both agencies, that consisted of
representatives of the air tour operators, environmental
interests, and Native Americans. Despite the diverse
interests of the parties, they were able to hammer out an
aQreed upon approach that all parties feel is equitable.
Aircraft noise is definitely not'the only source of human-
cnused noise of concern to the NPS. To date, the NPS has
produced two editions of a document called "The Nature of
Sound." It is basically an internal educational document
intended for people like park superintendents and interpret-
ers. The document as a whole, and the messaje from the
Director that prefaces the document, are quiet explicit that
minimization of all sources of human noise, includinQ the
noise created by NPS opera[ions, are of concern and need to
be dealt with as quickly and effecuvely as possible.
In addition, the NPS is amendin� its internal policies and
is preparin� another document called "Reference Manual
47" (RM 47) to �uide its future actions. The policy state-
ment with respect to noise and natural resources explicitly
reiterates the points made above. "The National Pa.rk
Service will reserve the natural ambient soundscapes, a
natural resource of the parks, w}uch exist in die absence oi
human-caused sound. The natural ambient soundscape is the
agoreQate of all the natural sounds that occur in parks..."
Noise Nleasurement in Parks
Rl�I 47 contains a Director's Order on the subject of noise
and soundscape manaaement and contains a number of
"how to" sections on such subjects as the development of
noise manasement plans, the development of air tour
manasement plans, how parks can deal constructively with
the military on military air space issues, and how to measure
and monitor noise in the parks.
This latter subject is perhaps also a matter of interest to
FTCAN and the Acoustical Society of America. The NPS
has been measurina soundscaoe levels in the parks for
decades but has nbt emnioyed a consistent methodoloQy in
its work. Some of the measurements were lons term,
unattended measurements. some were short term monitorinQ
oF inrrusions. Almost all were done in terms of A-weishted
decibel levels. Some were done in conjunction wi[h dose-
response surveys. Seve; al years aao the F.4A and its
contractor prepared a manuai entitled "Draft Guidelines for
the i�leasurement and Assessment of Low-Level Ambient
Noise" to show us how they thousht such measurements
ouoh� to be done. �
Over the past few �ears we have be�n tryin� to son out the
various pieces to determine which [echniques and proce-
dures make sense for the iv�'S Qiven our mission and needs.
145
A basic issue for the NPS has to do with the appropriate
metrics for describinQ the natural ambient sound levels.
Pviuch of the work done by the acoustic community has been
directed at relatively (or very) noisy urban environments.
For example, the DNL metric commonly used for aircraft
noise studies, is, to us, clearly an inappropriate mecric for
park environmeau, both because of the inherent bias of the
metric in terms of quiet times and because of the potential
for confusion with the FAA's community based standards.
Our current thinkins is that a statistical metric such as the
L90, the level of sound exceeded 90 percent of the time, is a
more relevant metric for determinins the natural ambient
conditions, particularly when applied appropriately to
diurnal variations to sound levels measured over lon�
periods of time. For "quiet" pares of quiet parks, experience
has shown the L90,�L50, and 1-second Leq values generally
lie within a few dB of each other. For noisier park environ-
ments the L90 still represents a usefui reference value for
park manaaement purposes and its use in this context is
analogous to the "back�round noise level" used in a number
of noise resulations.
Another issue has to do with the measurement methodol-
osy. After careful consideration of the FAA's proposed
methodology we have concIuded that it is not suitable for
national parks. Among other thinQs, it relies on short (three
hour) observer-.based measurements that provide no sense of
the overall diurnal cycle being measured, inappropriately
combines acoustic and audibility logs, is very expensive,
and uItimately fails to provide the information needed by
park managers. The mini-manual contained in R1�147, due
out shortly after the first of the year, will reflect the ap-
proach favored by the NPS and will be refined as time
passes.
There are a number of other issues that need resolution.
Modelin�, for example, is a critical problem. The NPS has
an acoustic model that is based on the Army Tank Com-
mand's acoustic model. AlthouQh it has a number of
strenschs, the cost of updating and maintainina the model is
hish. The FAA's Integrated Noise i�Sodel (Ii�i) has not
proved useful in its present form, parucularly where
audibility projections are required. Tne FAA has been
workins with the Park Service to adaot its model to the
unique problems of our parks.
The Fr1.a. and the N�PS have also recently completed the
first field data collection phase of a major model valida�ion
studv at the Grand Canvon NaCional Park. `Ve will be usins
these data to he:D assess the canaoili�ies associated wich the
available mode?s such as the [F�derai :�viation Administra-
tion's] InteQrated Noise Model (I�1,1i, the Naciona] Park
Service Overr"liaht Decision Supoor� System (�tODSS)
[developed earIier for the Park Se:vice by BBN Sys�emsJ,
our NPS model, and the NoisemaD Simulation i�Sodel
(i�t1�lSItii), a variant of a militar�• noi�e model [bein�
evaluated for the Park Service b�� ��'vle Labs�.
All of these issues present a cnaltea,e to the �'PS in
restorins and pro�ecting the natural soundscapes of our
parks.04

ASAIANSI SHOULD DEVELOP
METHODOLOGY, l�IEETING TOLD
The work of developinQ an appropriate methodolo�y for
measurins and assessina low-levei noise, such as in national
parks, should be �iven to a voluntary standards writing
workins �roup of the Acoustical Society of America and the
American National Standards Institute (ASAlANSI), Gre�Q
G. Flemin�, manaser of the Acoustics Facility at the U.S ��
Department of Transportation's Volpe Center in CambridQe,
Iv1A, has recommended.
His proposal was made at the conclusion of his presenta-
tion at a Nov. 3 special session on preservins natural quiet
in national parks, held as part of the 138th meetins of the
Acoustical Society of America in Columbus, OH �
FleminQ's proposal hiQhliehts the fact that the Federal
Aviation Administration and the National Park Service,
which ConQress expects to work cooperatively in resoIvin�
the growing noise problem from air tours over national
parks, are developin� different methodoloaies for assessin�
the impact of air tour noise on park visitors. It also recog-
nizes the fact that the two federal aQencies have vastly
different asendas and constituencies, makinQ it very
difficult for them to asree on a noise measurement method-
olo�y. 4
Under contract to the FAA, FleminQ has developed "Draft
Gu��elir.es f�r the MeasLre:ne^t :,n� Asse.sm�Sl* J: T C.r-
Level Ambient Noise, which were published in Mazch 1998.
However, Wesley Henry of the Park Service announced at
the ASA speciai session that the Park Service has concluded
that the methodolosy developed for the FAA is not suitable
for national parks and that the Park Service will issue a
manual shortly after the new year definins the approach it
favors. �
The eoal of the ASA/ANSI workinQ Qroup, Flemins told
ANR. ` would be the development of an American National
Standard on the subject." The workin� group, he said, could
be made up of inembers of the National Park Service, and
the FAA, but would also include experts from the broader
area of noise measurement and analvsis. "Such a diverse
�roup would eliminate any perceived bias associated with
methodolosies developed individually be either the NPS or
FAA. It wouid also lead to consistent and comparable noise
data measurement and analysis in the national parks,"
Flemina said.
He noted that the FA:� and Park Service have alreadv
established a technical revie�v committee for a project to
validate noise models used in the Grand Canyon Nationai
Park. "That is a�ood startin`� point," FleminQ said, althouQh
h� stressed that the focus of that sroup was on validatinQ �
nuise models and not on estaolishins measurement method-
ologies. �
Flemin�'s recommendation to have a standards writinQ
workin�* aroup develop a noise measuremen[ methodolosy
for low-levei noise is evidence that the field of assessine
noise impact in parks is in iu infancy. Still beins debated is
what is the best metric to use, what is the best noise modei,
and what is the best type of noise mitisation to use in parks.
As one ooserver told AN�R. "You can't soundproof, so what
do you do?"�

Dose-response data being developed on how visitors to
national parks react to aircraf[ noise in different situations
and settinss wiIl help park manasers make decisions about
where to locate fli�ht corridors for air tours and the number
of air tour operations that are compatible with their park.
Efforts to determine how the noise of air tours affects
visitors to national pazks was discussed in a paper presented
by Nicholas P. Miller of Harris Miller Miller & Hanson,
Inc., Burlington, MA, at a special Nov. 3 session of the
semi-annual meetin� of the Acoustical Society of ?�merica.
His paper presented the results of research sponsored by
the Federal Aviation Administration and the National Park
Service, showin� how measurements of the sound of air
tours can be used to estimate the amount of disturbance that
will result for park visitors.
Since 1987, Miller said, the FAA and Park Service has
�een worisin� to find ways to effectir•ely and fairly manaQe
the noise produced by air tours over some national parks.
"The two aQencies have directed research efforts with the
goal of not only understanding the nature and extent of
noise in�usions, but also of providin� objective tools for
mana�ement of park and air space use."
Noise measuremenu and simultaneous surveys of visitors
were made at six different sites in three national parks:
Grand Canyon, Hawaii Volcanoes, and HaleakaIa National
Parks.
"The second-by-second records of sound levels, toQether
with the visitor survey results and continuous loas of the
sound sources heard, permitted development of dose-
response relationships. Tnese relationships reveal w�hat
percent of visitors were disturbed (their response) for
different levels of aircraft sound exposure (the dose),"
Itifiller reported.
"Park and airspace manasement decision-maLe:s can no�v
have an objective understandinQ of the sianificance tha[ air
tour noise has for visitors in situations that are similar to
those from which the dose-response relationshigs �ve;e
developed. By either measurin� or calculatins t'r,e loudness
and the duration oi aircrai� noise, an estimate mav be made
of what ge:cenc of visitors will find the neise anno��inQ or
believe that it interFeres �cith their enjoyment oi the natural
sounds."
"If, for examole, aircraft sound le`els are no rnore than
about 10 to l� decioels hisher �han the natural leve:s. and

are audible ]ess than about 30 percent of the time, fewer
than one-quaner of the visitors are likely to feel annoyed by
the noise. However, the type of location in a park where the
"'ircraft are heard plays a role in how visitors react. The
onditions �iven above apply to a site that is accessed by a
short hike — by walkin� about 1� minutes or more. For an
overlook type location, where only a short walk from the car
is necessary, the aircraft sound levels and durations �iven
above misht annoy about � to 10 percent of the visitors.
"By combininQ the dose-response information with the
type of park location, manaeement decisions may be made
about what fliQht corridor locations and numbers of air tour
operations aze compatible with park mana�ement goals for
visitor experience," I�liller said.� �
Noise Modeling
NEW SIMULATION MODEL
S�30WS TERRAIN EFFECTS
A new noise simulation model beina evaluated for the
National Park Service by Wyle Labs of Arlin�ton, VA, can
depict the movinQ noise path of an airplane second-by-
second and show in various colors on a computer screen
how the intensity of noise hittin� the �r�und varies as an
airplane moves across a landscane.
It also can calculate the percentage of time that an aircraft
movins over moderately complex terrain in low ambient
���ise leve3s wouId.be audible to paik 'visitors on tne �round.
� tI'he Noisema Simulation 1b1odel
p (NMS111� could aiso be
used to assess the noise mitiQation potential of noise
abatement flight paths around airports, to look at the impact
of aircraft noise in rural areas with low backaround noise
levels, or to assist the Federal Aviation Administration in its
task of revisinQ the national airspace, said�Kenneth Plotkin,
chief scientist of `�yle, who discussed the new model at a
special session of a recent meetinQ of the Acousticai Society
of America devoted to park overPlisht noise.
What has impressed people most, Plodcin said, is the color
depiction of the noise shadow of an aircraft that the simula-
tion can produce. "You can see how IonQ the noise lasts and
visualize it better." The video imaQe generated by the
simulation shows the complexity of terrain and how much
noise varies from one spot to another because of the terrain,
Plotkin explained. NtiiSLtii is dynarriic and can show the
complexity of aircraft nois� much better than static meas-
ures such as noise contours, he said.
Ni�1SI�f is inte: active so a user can look in �reat detaii at
any point in the tli�ht path of an aircraft and se� which part
of th� flisht track a par!: �•isitor could hear and when aircraft
noise would be shieldzd b�• terrain. The simulation currently
does not calculate the "de:ectabilitv" of noise — which
depends on both aircraft and ambient noise — but soon w911
be able to, he said.
� )This Szetember, the F.�-� and the Park Service conducted
�' a"�oin� Froject at the Grand Canyon National Park to gather
i47
data needed to validate the new NI�iSIZ�S noise model and to
compare it to two other noise models under consideration by
the Park Service: an earlier model developed by BNN
Systems of Canosa Park, CA, for the Park Service that
handles terrain in a more simple way and a special version
of the FAA's Integrated Noise Model (III�i�f).
In addition to Wyle, the consuItins firm Harris Niiller
Ivliller & Hanson, Inc., which desisned the model validation
project, also participated in the study.
Trained ]isteners were sent to nine rernote areas to record
when aircrafr noise was audible. DiCital recordings of
aircraft noise also were made; the FAA gathered fli�ht
information on the aircraft over the pazk and weather
information; and observers recorded the time and location of
aircraft on ihe routes of interest.
All this information will be studied and the results of this
live testin� compared to the results predicted by the three
noise models. This will give the.Pazk Service and the FAA
an indication of which modei best predicts real-world
conditions.
Maieling noise in national pazks is more difficuIt.than
around airports where the Day-Nijht Average Noise Level
(DNL) is used to predict noise impact and the 6� dB DNL
threshold is the clear line of demarcation for compatible
residential land use. Noise modelin� in parks must cover
large distances with low ambient noise level, and handle
complex terrain and weather effects.
In parks the important issues are what percent of the time
aircraft noise is audible and/or detectable, the lenath of
noise free intervals, and the effect of airplane noise on the
animals and visitors in the park.r�

Sen. John I�ScCain (R-AZ) added an amendment to the

currently tied up in a House-Senate conference — that would
require the FAA to develop clear standards for what
constitutes "quiet technoloay" in airerait used in air tour

The amendment would:
• Require the Clinton Administration to establish a
standard for "quiet" aircraft technolosy �vithin one year;
� Cali on the FAA and the National Park 5ervice to
establish fliQht corridors for quiet aircran consistent with
the goal of restorina na�ural quiet to the Grand Canyon: and
• Exempt quiet aircraft from the currenc 88.000 air tour
operations/year flivht cap "consistent «,•ith the restoration of
natural quiet." �

have eased the current niQhttime curfew on air tour opera-

Some observers, however. expressed concern that the
amendment would liit the current cap on the numbe: of air
tour operations that can be conducted ove: the Grand
Canyon.
"For 12 years, I've souant to restore quiet to the Grand
Canyon, the crown jewei of our national park system, said
NlcCain. "I'm very pleased that we were able to reach an
agreement on lan�uase that brin�s us closer to our common
goal."
Tom Kiernan, president of the National Parks Conserva-
tion Association (NPCA), said, "Senator 1tiicCain has
demonstra[ed his willinaness to brina two sides to�ether
over a very difficult issue. His advocacy of quiet technoloQy
will over time make a difrerence in how park visitors see
and hear the canyon." �
Added Geoff Barnard. president of the Grand Canyon
Trust, "Senator I�1cCain has retaken the hill and once aQain
served notice that he is serious about his defense of the
Grand Canyon: '
The final lansuase of the amendment emerQed after days
of discussion over the role that quieter aircraft can play in
meetins the requirement of "substantial restoration" of
natura] quiet as required by law. Said Bill Meadows,
president of The Wilderness Society, "No one will ar�ue
tha, the Ya.,�t few d: ys h��: � b: �:� t^u�h �nd fi?ll �f que�tions.
Nonetheless, we aze ail oratified to see that Senator McCain
remains a committed advocate for the protection and lon�-
term interests of Grand Canvon National Park."
The FAA reauthorization bill also includes lanQuaQe that
structures requirements for dealins with air tour operations
over national parks across the country. Under the structure,
developed by a workins Qroup selected by the Park Service
and the FAA, the asencies must develop Air Tour I�lanaae-
ment Plans that will sovern if, where, when, and how air
tour operators can fly over parks. AccordinQ to a recent
NPCA survey of parl: manaQers, air tours operate over 100
units of the National Park Svstem.
NPCA, the Grand Canvon Trust, and The Wilderness
Saciety have ail been in�•olved in efiorts to bring the federal
�overnment into complianc� tivith the National Parks

Symphony of Sound, from p. l43
In undisturbed natural environments, creatures vocalize in ,
re:ationship to one another very much like instrumencs in an �
orchestra. On land, in particular, this delicate acouscic fabric �
is almost as well-defined as the notes on a paQe of music.
Certain insecu occupy one sonic zone of the creature band,
and birds, mammals, and froQs occupy others not yet taken
and where there is no competition. That is so each voice can
be heard distinctly and each creature can thrive. The same
type of event also occurs in certain marine environments.
This biophony, or animal chorus, serves as a vital gau�e of a
habitat's health, its aQe, its level of stress, and provides us
with an abundance of other valuable new information such
as why and how creatures have learned to sina. Yet, this
miraculous biophony is under siese.
The frajile weave of sound just described is being torn �
apart mainly by two forces: the incredible noise we humans
make, and by our undiminished lust for precious natural
resources. For example, when I first besan recordin� in �
1968, it would take about 15 hours to capture one hour of
usable material for a tape or CD. Now it take nearly two
thousand hours to capture the same amount of sound.
Compare that to 4� percent of our undisturbed forests still
standinQ in 1968 where now less than 2 percent are lefc only
32 years later. This staQ�erinQ observation, combined with
the sound of chain saws, snowmobiles, ATVs, trail bikes, jet
skis, deep-throated boat enQines pullinQ ever faster water
craft around otherwise pristine lakes, has created a recipe ,=
for tra�edy unless we are willin� to make an immediate shift (, .
in our view of the need for mechanical toys.
Evidence of Damaae
Evidence of the dama�e from these factors has only
recently come to liQht. As a result of the field of bio-
acoustics — the study of the sound of livina oraanisms and
habitats — patterns are beginning to appear throuQh the use
of new field research techniques that confirm the loss those
of us particularly sensitive to the natural worid have been
instinctively feelins for some time. The followinQ examples
demonstrate the point:
Ivlany types of froas and insects vocalize toQether in a
�iven habitat so that no one individual stands out among the
many. This chorus creates a protective audio s�.reen thtivart-
inQ predators from locatinQ where the sound is cominQ
from. The synchronized froQ voices oriQinate from so many
places at once that it appears to be comina from everywhere.
Ho�vever, when the coheren[ patterns are upset by the sound
of a jet plane as it flies within ran�e oi the pond, the special
froQ biophony is broken. In an attemot to re�staolish the
unified rhythm and chorus, individual fro�s momencarily
stand ouc sivin� predators like coyo�es or owls per-�ect
opponunities to snag a meal.

forty-five minutes passed before the frogs were able to
reestablish their protective chorus. In the dusk light we saw
two coyotes and a oreat horned own feedin� by the side of
the small pond. Because of the unique manner by which we
record and measure sound. we have discovered that the
relatively intense sound produced by a low-flyin� jet
airplane can cause changes in che biophony that make
certain creatures lose the life-saving protecdon of their
vocal choruses.
Once, while doins acoustic research in the Amazon Basin,
a multi-en�ine jet flyina low over [he jun�le intezrupted the
dawn chorus of birds and insects at a particular site where
we were recordina. When we returned to our lab and
examined the effect of the jet noise on the natural sound-
scape, we found that the disruption caused by the jet caused
many creatures to stop vocalizina while others altered their .
patterns. The momentary break in the integrity of the animal
chorus created by the jet left open the stron� possibility that
many creatures would become victim to opportunistic
predators such as hawks or resident mammals.
Because of the noise introduced into their environment by
cruise boats travelin� in Glacier Bay, humpback whales
have been seen tryin� to swim away and hide from the
noise, duckin� behind spits of land and or behind lar;e
blocks of ice that had broken off glaciers appazently in an
effort to cet into quieter noise "shadows." Where once there
were many, in recent years, fewer and fewer whales have
been seen in the bay. Alona with other factors, it is believed
by some biologists that human-induced noise is a major
contributing in�redient to the fallina numbers.
Increased Stress
The loss of natural soundseape diminishes human experi-
ence of the wild, while human noise increases ssress.
Keeping in mind that human and non-human species
respond differently to types of loudness, or combinations of
mechanical or human noises, we aze just now beginnin� to
understand that many of these sounds introduce affliction in
both worlds. An experiment done on humans in France
invited subjects to adapt to sleepin� in the laboratory. After
an initial few niQhts of quiet, the subjects were then sub-
jected — while asleep — to l� niQhts worth of recorded traffic
noise. The sleeping subjects were wired to instruments used
to measure stress. "Heart rate, fin�er-pulse ampli[ude, and
pulse-wave velocity �vere measured throughout the niQht,
and each sleeper filled out a questionnaire upon wakina."
Two to seven niehts later, the subjects reported that they
were no lonser disturbed by che noise (e.a. they thouQht that
they had become used to it). However, the stress effects —
hear[ rate, etc. "measured the fif[eenth niQht were identical
to [hose IoQsed the first." (5cience Neivs, 121, June 5, 1982,
330). ��
There are many imponant reasons to reconsider the value
of natural soundscape as a resource. For one thinQ, it is clear
that natural soundscape cannot be replaced. Yet, there are
(� ,� rays of hope. �Ve are beQinnina to understand late in the
149
�ame that pristine natural soundscapes are reserves and
resources criticai to our enjoyment, understanding. and
awareness of the natural wiId. Without them,. a fundamenta]
piece of the fabric of life is sadly compromised. That is why
the National Park Service recently implemented a strong
educational and administrative pian to protect natural
soundscapes. They have been positioned not only as a major
resource, but as one of great value wonh preservina for
visitors and creatures, alike. Visitor reaction to all the noise
in the national parks convinced the administration of the
parks that it is important to attempc to hear and treat
soundscapes difrerently — as important to our weil-beinQ and
health as the preservation of pure fresh water, clean air,�and
non-polluted soil. If the NPS succeeds in its effort to
convince the visiting public of this idea, we will have come
a lon� way toward our goal of deliverin� on our objective of
respansive stewardship of the wild.� y

The Metropolitan Airports Commission (MAC) is in the process of updating the Minneapolis-St.
Paul International Airport's (MSP) noise exposure map and noise compatibility program under
Federal Aviation Regulation (FAR) Part 150. The first public meetings for the Part 150 update
were held in late September. This meeting is the second in a series of three public meetings. The
update study be;an in April 1 S99 and is expected to be concluded in the summer of 2000.
The Part 150 study is a process for airport operators to identify potential noise impacts and
mitigation measures to address those impacts. The Part 150 prob am provides sound insulation
for homes and schools and includes other ef%rts to mitigate noise such as operational procedures
and land use planning. Under the Part 150 program, the MAC has provided sound insulation to
5,152 homes at a total cost of $120 million since 1992.
At the followin� meetings, the 2005 Unmitigated Day Night Average Sound Level (DNL)
contours will be presented as well as recommendations for future mitigation measures to be
�"'� analyzed in the Study. The unmitigated contour will be analyzed with noise abatement and land
_. use measures to potentially improve future noise conditions for communities surrounding MSP.
The following information will be provided at this public meeting:
2005 UnmitiQated DNL Contours

The Metropolitan Airports Commission and the
FAA have begun re-evaluating Minneapolis-St. Paul
International Airport's compliance w-ith FAA rules
that define home insulation program boundaries,
land-use policies, fli�ht rules and other noise-
abaternent procedures in preparation for the opening
of the new north-south runway in 2003.
The Part I�0 program review began last May and
is eYpected to be completed by June 2000. Recom-
mendations for a 200� noise contour, including a
new 60 DNL zone, will be fonvarded to FAA for
consideration over the following 12-18 months.
In an unusual step, public comment is being
received at a series of open �vorkshops_ The first
three workshops were held Sept 28-30 in
Bloomin�tton, Eagan and Mendota Heights.The next
set �=rill be held Tuesday, Nov. 30 in Minneapolis at

MAC and Minneapolis A�ree To Ban Thir
The city of Minneapolis reacheri
a broad agreament with the Metro-
politan Airports Commission in
November 1998 to prevent con-
struction of a third pazallei runway,
but at a price.
The agre�ment was signerl some
17 months after the dea.dline of 7an.
l, 1997 set by the 1996 le�islature
as part of the broad noise mitiga-
tion campact reacherl as a condi-
tion for the �2.7-billion expansion
of MSP at its present site.
The city gave up its right to sue
the MAC over any possible
changes in plans or usage of the
new north-south runwav. The
north end of the runwav could be
used only under limiterl conditions,
such as emergencies or bad
weather.
The city-MAC a.��r�ment also
stipulates that:
0 The new runt�av will be
operateri to ma�cimize MSP's
capacity while attempting to reciuce
noise in the city and equitably
distributing future noise
loads throu�hout all communities.
(See Communiry Noise Distribu-
tion graph, p. 6 and article on
� The MAC reaffirms its
commitment to a fairer distribution
of air traffic. (Details were not
spelled out.)
o The MAC will expand the
number of noise monitoring
stations to 29 in the area. a.ffzcte�

o If MAC acquires the vac.�nt
Bureau of Mines property
northeast of Hwys. 62 and >j as
part of an extended runway
protection zone, MAC would
grant a conservation easement to
the National Park Service and
use the property for open space.
(Acquisition negotiations
between MAC and the Bureau

The citv of Richfield is
see'�cing $90 million in fesieral,
sta.te and NiAC funding to help
rerlevelop a 64-block azea west of
Cedar Ave. that will be impacterl
by the new north-south runway.
The city envisions having to
remove some 1,400 hames,
relocate some 2,900 residents,
construct sturdier housing and
replace a11 conunercial and multi-
family buildings in the Cedar
Avenue Redevelopment Area
e:ctending from Hwy 62 to Hwy.
494 and from Cedar «est to 16th
Ave. S. The total cost, estimated
at $14� million, would include
$2� million from land sales and
$2� million through a tax incre-
ment financin� plan.
The re�evelopment step is
m�de necessary by the prospect
of low-ftequency noise emanating
from the 300-400 da.ily flights
onlv two blocks ftom present
homes. De�p rumblin� from
aircraft ta.�ciing, landing or taking
off can shake and rattle walls,
�vindows and suspended objects
for 4� seconds during each flight,
city studies have found, No other
noise abatement strategy is
considered feasible by� Richfield,
So far, Richfield has received
$30 million in bondina authority
and another �30million commit-
ment from the 1999 state le�isla-
ture. However, the FAA has held
up the funds pendinQ further FAA

I�r. ��derson Explains �eal�� Cons���e�e�s of .t�i�-�ort I�o�se
Dr. Floyd O. Anderson, psychiatrist and University
of Niinnesota associate professar, summarized his
research findings on the health effects of airport noise
exposure at Si�IAAC's annual me:.ting in Niay.
Anderson said he cancurs with other mental health
professionals who estunate that aircraft noise can
tri�er involuntary physiological and psychological
stress responses in up to 30 percent of the population
living in LDN65 and higher noise zones. He also
observetl that:
♦ Manifestation of the stress response varies from
one person to another, depending on individual vulner-
abilities and predispositions.
0 Chronic stress is one recognized precursor of
"leamed heiplessness" (a psychological term for a type
of low grade depression), and characterize� as relatively
prominent in airport-impacted neighborhocds. Ander-
son noted that learnerl helplessness beha.viors require
about three times the effort to cure than to acquire.
� The release of stress hormones impairs health and
impacts human temperament. Immune system function,
which is affected by chronic noise/ stress exposure, is
lowereci by about 1 � percent in jet-noise communities.
�'Ihe disturbanc� to slerp cycles causes impairment
of the brain's discha.rge of store� short-term memory
during sleep, which subtly affects lons-�rm me:nory
function. In a.ddition, Anderson presented a fascinating

A Governor's Task Force on Community Stabiliza-
tion, createri by the 1999 legislature, has b�n merting
to search for fundin� sources that the MAC and state.
and federal governments can use to pay for mitigating
the impacts in all neighbonc�ods surrounding the
expanded airport.
The task forc� is require� to report its findings to
Governor Ventura and the nest legislature by Jan. 1�,
2000. -
Included on thz task force are reoresentatives of the
Governor's staff; the Depar�nents of Finance and Trade
and Econoruc Development. the Fr�, I�iAC, tiietro-
politan Council and dele�?ates from affecte�i cities.

stimulus may manifest itself in the form of a ca11 to the
airport noise hot-line.
Compulsive and natural reactions to noxious noise
stimuli frequently cause people to band together in an
effort to cope. Group activities such as noise demon-
strations, formation of anti-noise organiz,a.tions, citizen
lawsuits and airport-sponsore� noise abatement
committers such as MASAC ma.y result.
Anderson encouragezi Si1�AAC members to continue

sonal lawsuit brou�ht by Iviark Gieason, a�2ichfield
resident and state representative, over the ade�uacy of
the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) filed in

Gleason alleged that the EIS did not ade�uately
define the estent of sideiine noise problems in Richfield
to arise from the use of the nuiwav onlv two blocks

Flights in and out of MSP declined 1.7 percent to
483,013 in 1998 from 491,273 in the prior year. It
was the first decline in many years, and was attrii�-
uteti to the two-w�k Northwest Airlines pilots' strike
and reiated shutdown by Mesaba Airiines in the first
half of September 1998. In addition, there was a
slow buildup to full servic� in the w�ks following
� � _ � � the strike.
By category, charter flights rose 38 percent,
general aviation 24 percent (to nearly 80,000 flights)
and freight flights 2 percent. Military operations
decline�i 44 percent, regional flights dipped 11
percent and major carriers were off 4.7 perc�nt.
The number of passengers increased one-half of
one percent to a recard 30,347,920 from 30,208,000
a year a�o.
Once again, Northwest Airlines held its dominance
at 1�iSP, capturing 81.3 percent of the domestic and
international passenaers. Unite.�i w�s ne�ct at 4.28

S�ce 1992 �'or�zast
The neighborhoods rec�iving the most noise frorn
airera.ft taking off or landing at MSP ha.ve changed
since the last HN'I`B computer update in 1992.
This is due la.rgely to lower than proje�teci usa.ge
of the 4/22 cross wind runway and increased tra.ffic
in the ensuing years, The master 1tiiSP noise abate-
ment plan at that time presumerl4/22 usage would
rise to approximately 1'7-22 percent of total MSP
operations, taking some ofthe pressure ofs'homes at
the ends of the two parallel runways. However,
because of an unresolved Riciifield Iawsuit in 1995,
the runway continues to be used only about 1-5
percent of the time.
As a result, the flight noise "footprint" that
would have affect�i south Richfield, north
Bloomington and the Highland V'illa�e area. of St.
Paul, now appears to have settlerl over north
Richfield and south i�iinneapolis extending along a
Hwy. 62 corridor to nearly Franc;.. Ave and in a
south Minneapolis area bounderi by Chicago Ave.-
Cesiar Ave. and from roughly Minnehaha Parlcway
north to 38th St.
i�iew ���a�r� I'roc���r� Be�i�s
Under a new FA�-approved policy, pilots taking
off to �he north on the two parallei rumvays have
b�n instructerl to climb more sharply than previ-
ously, throttle back for approximately si� miles,
then rzsume their climb to minimize noise over
residential areas
The prace�ure, initiate� in 1997, calls for
aircrafz to climb to 800-1,000 fert «•hile still over
t�'�e runway in some cases, teduce thrust for about
six miles, then resume climbin�. This plan is hoped
to preduce a slignt re�uction in noise hear� on the

`98 Election Fallout
Analy,zed
The surprise election of Reform
Partv candidate Jesse Ventura as
governor last fall tri�ereri a number
of important changes on the MAC
boazd. Charies Nichols was ap-
pointed to succe� Pierson Grieve as
chair, and Bert McKasy, Nancy
Sp�r and Paul Weske were ap-
pointed comrnissioners.
Long-time Minneapolis mayoral
appointe: Steve Cramer resigned as
vice chair to take the leadership role
at the Minneapolis Community
Development Agency (MCDA).

Fiore, who represents Anoka.
County. Succeeding Cramer as the
mayor's delegate was Roger Hale,
well-jrnown businessman.
Ventura himself has voiced few
insights on lon�-range airport
service. and capacity issues. Nichols
has said he opposes a new airport,
and su�ests a spaceport—a space-
port?—instead. Ted Mondale, new
chair of the I�ietropolitan Council,
sponsored the bill that prematurely
cut off debate on a dual-track study
at the 19961egislature, and led to
the decision to spend �2.7 billion to
expand the present site rather than
build a new one.
Another ne�v player on the airport
scene is Banet Lane, 13th Ward city
council successor to Steve Minn,
«ho took the Public Servic..
Comm.issioner's post in the Ventura
cabinet.
Nichols, a former airport hangar
builder and educator, spoke briefly
at the StiiAAC sprino me.,�tinQ. He
asked for "solutions, not com-
plaints" to noise problems.
Net result is likel�• to be a diffi-

A Way to Take Into Account
Co�nmuni�y Size
From the standpoint of inental
anguish and suffering, we all are
alike depending on our sensitivity
and the amount of noise. How-
ever, from the standpoint of
polulation density and numbers of
people, we di$'er considerably.
The chart beiow depicts com-
munities with the most noise by
averaging the DNL levels from a11
the ANOMS microphones in that
community and establishing an
average community noise level.
Then that number is multiplied by
the number of residences in the
comrnunnuty to define the
Relative Residential Norse. It
shows Minneapolis suffers thre�
times the impact from aircraft
noise com�aresi with other
communities beca.use of the high
�lation densit,y in south
ea�ahs. Individuals, of
course, m a11 communities suffer
alike.
This does raise the issue of
fairness in noise distribution,
which the MA.0 finds impossible
to address. However, the Minne-
apolis level was 3 percant less
than that measuretl in May 1998.
progress on increasing airline
campetition, especially with the
addition of 23 new gates over the
ne�ct two years. The balance of
power among I�fAC commissioners
has not changed; the vast majority
favors economic growth over
environmental protection.

A study of NiAC planning
documents indicates 90,000
additional annual flishts over
l�iinneapolis by about 2010, after
the north-south is incorporated into
the MSP runway system.
That conclusion, put forth in a
I�1ay 1998 Southwest Journal
article, and later raised �;rith MAC
executive Director Jeff Hamiel at
the S1�TAAC fall 1998 general
meeting, has since been confirmetl
by MAC staff.
The runwav was �zaarously sold
as a"noise reziuction" step to
Nlinneapolis o$'icials in 1996, with
all flights arriving and departing on
the south end. Subsequent MAC
sta.tements now ca11 the runway a
"capacity builder".
MAC officials have receatly
increased forecasts from 520,000
annual operations by 2020 given to
the Iegislature in 1996, to 625,000
for that same date. 62�;000 repre-
sents a 27 percent incrzase over the
1997 count of 491,000, about a 3
percent annuaI growth rate.
(The 3 perc�nt rate la�s w•ell
behind FAA forecasts of � percent
for U.S. gro�ti-th b�� 2020.)
Integration of the north-south .
and new taYi-tit�a�-s into the runwav
system increases overall c�pacity
by about 120,000 more flights per
y�ear, carryinQ I�iSP totiz-ard a
6s0,000 target level.
The ne�v runti��a�• is expected to
be operational in 200 y, about the
same time the e�istinQ run�vav
svstem reaches its e�'zctive y�eariv
capacit�� of �20,000 (barrina
cutbacks in airline service. or
di��ersion of Qeneral a�-iation fliQhts
to other airports).
FAA officials note that MSP is
the only airport of its size that must
use the same runways for arrivals
and departures at the same time.
'The north-south will alleviate this
traffic management hindrance.
As aircraft transition from flight
to ground, or ground to flight, the
MSP iunways presently serve a
function similar to freeway high-
speed interweave mergin� lanes
(like the Crosstown 1-35W
crossover exchange). However,
FAA air separation rules for
landing and departing trafFic are
different, with departmg aircraft
requiring much less separation
than an-ivals. So, using the same
runway for operations requiring
di�erent separations seriously
impedes the runway's houriy
capacity, and complicates a.ir
tra$'ic rnanagement.
To simplify things for control-
lers, both landina and takeoff
intervals at MSP are expanded,
which allows two types of
operations to simultaneously
occur on the same runway
However, this seriously con-
stricts overall MSP ca�pacity,
especially as the practical o�era-
tions ceiling of 520,000 rapidly
approaches.
Adding the north-south gives
controllers the ability to assian
one MSP runway exclusively for
amvals, and another for depar-
tures only. This allows arrival
rates to increase about 15
percent, and departures to jump
from the present, sustainable
practical limit of one every two
minutes, to almost 3 per t�vo
minutes.
Noise rerluction advocates are
very conc�rned about the im-
pending flight fre�uency in-
creases over Minneapolis. Noise
pollution research clearly docu-
ments that flight frequency
increases siEnificantly boost
annoyance/stress levels. There-
fore, they are lobbying for flight
frequency restrictions.
Observers note that �iinne-
apolis officials have been dis-
tracted by strident MAC pledges
to not use the north-south to, or
from,the north, (an understandable
concsrn) and still haven't recognizeti
the north-south's repercussions for
north parallel runway opera.tions.
Curiously, old MA.0 noise
footprints cornparing "before and
after" north-south runway
incorporation show no noise
reduction over Minneapolis, just
a shift of noise to the northeast.
New MAC "before and after"
comparisons include noise
reductions caused by anticipated
conversion to Stage 3 jets. This
probably fooled Minneapolis city
officials into believing the new
runway, rather than quieter
aircra.i�, would reduce airport
noise.
