JiJ.l� 12, 1996
The regular meeti.ng of the Mendota. Heights Airport Relations Commission was held on
Wednesday, 7une 12, 1996, in the City Hall Large Conference Room, 1101 Victoria Curve.
The meeti.ng was called to order at 7:10 o'clock P.M. The following members were present:
Bea.ty, Leuman, Stein and Surrisi. The following members were excused: Gross, Fitzer and
Olsen. `' �A1so present were City Administrator Kevin Batchelder and Recording Secretary Cazla
Wirth.
Beaty and the Comnnissioners congratulated Batchelder on his recent appointment as City
Administrator.
Batchelder introduced Car1a, Wirth, the Recording Secretary for the next three months.
Beaty commented that the Friday News should include the Airport Relations Commission's
agenda.to alert Councilmembers their items of discussion.

Sa. The Commission acknowledged receipt of the MASAC May 23, 1996, and Apri123,
1996, Minutes.
Sb. The Commission acknowledged receipt of the MASAC Technic.al Advisor's Report for
Apri11996 (Incomplete). Bea,ty explai.ned the report is incomplete due to an equipment
failure.
`
Sc. The Commission acknowledged receipt of the May 21, 1996, minutes of the Northern
Dakota. County Airport Relations Coalition. Bea.ty noted a major topic of discussion
was backsliding and NWA's fleet mix of Stage II and Stage III aircraft. Beaty stated
the percenta.ge of Sta.ge III use has declined since September of 1985. Batchelder sta.ted
that prior to the next meeting of the Coalition, each city is to bring its list of mitigation
efforts so discussion can take pla.ce on what to sapport as a group. Dakota County will
then be approached to determine their support level. On June 26, 1996, Eagan, Inver
Grove Heights, St. Paul and Minnea.polis will be making its presentation to the MSP
Mitigation Committee. Mendota Heights already made its presentation but reserved the
right to make an addition, if desired.
Stein indicated an interest in flying the two departure profiles via the NWA test
simulator at NATCO. The Commission indicated an interest in participating and
requested Batchelder to schedule this event. Sumsi advised of Sun Country simulator
�'test hours.
5d. The Commission acknowledged receipt of the Part 150 Buyout Update - Issues 28 and
29.
Se. The Commission acknowledged receipt of the MASAC Operations Minutes and Agenda
for May 24, 1996. Batchelder explained that Mendota Heights has submitted. updated
household and population counts for MA.C's consultant to work into the calculation;
however, several meetings were canceled and City staff was not notified of the outcome
until just prior to the May meeting. At the meeting, Narthwest Airlines and Bob �� �
7ohnson of MASAC presented new population counts and noise profiles. He reviewed
this data and noted Mendota. Heights' statistics for distant departures show a popula.tion
.,..
count of 1,580 in the DNL60 contour and 1,180 in the DNL65; however, the close-in
departure statistics show population counts of 1,840 in the DNL60 and 900 in the
DNL65 contours.
Beaty sta.ted these sta.tistics are impossible. Batchelder concurred and stated staff has
submitted current household and popula.tion counts to the MAC. Discussion ensued
regazding the distance procedure and DNL contours for the close-in departure
procedure versus the distance pmcedure. Batchelder raised the concern, at the MASAC
meeting, regarding t�e validity of the data used in their decision.
Batchelder expla.ined Mendota. Heights had indica.ted in the past they would like to try
the close-in departure procedure to see if it will reduce noise. He sta.ted Mendota
Heights should consider an operational change if the close in departure procedure wi11
reduce noise levels over Mendota Heights.
Beaty noted the indication that the benefit will be over Minneapolis but the MASAC
intends to run the same take off procedures over Mendota. Heights.
�
�.
Batchelder pointed out that with DNL60, the distance departure procedure is better for
%, Mendota Heights but with DNL65, it is worse. He sta.tecl he believes the population
counts used in the DNL65 calcula.tions are correct, but the counts used in the DNL60
calculations are not, especially for the close in depariures. Batchelder noted the
MASAC Operations Committee recommenda.tion for the "Distant Community
Departure Profile" utilization on runways 11L/R and runways 4/22 and the "Close-in
Community Departure Profile" utilization on runways 29I./R passed on a split 5-2 vote.
Batchelder informed the commission that because 7ill Smith raised concern about the
calcula.tions and commented on the ANOMS system (which generates the noise
contours) at the MASAC meeting, they tabled it to their June meeting. Smith has
suggested the MASAC base their decision on accurate information and should use
ANOMS data., Batchelder noted the location of the additional population counts as
shown by MAC for the close in departures would be in the Dodge Nature Center.
The Commission questioned the need for a hasty decision on such an important issue
and indica.ted support to test this method to see if it will help. They concurred with
Smith's belief it would be better to use ANOMS data, rather than a household count.
Batchelder pointed out a discrepancy in the MASAC meeting minutes (middle of page
3) which indicates "the number of dwellings do coincide with the population count"
when, in fact, they do not coincide, which was pointed out at the meeting.
The Commission requested that this information be presented to Councilmember Jill
Smith who can discuss the household and population data, discrepancies at the next
MASAC meeting. She will alsa urge them to use ANOMS data. instead.
Consensus was rea,ched to request Batchelder to supply Councilffiember Smith with this
information and submit a press release regarding the City's concern with this hasty
MASAC decision and with the data used in its consideration.
GENI+;RAL DISCYTS5ION
Ken and Mary Weisenbuger, residents of Friendly Hills, asked if airport noise will
increase in their neighborhood and whether their neighborhood is eligible for
soundproofing. Batchelder advised that the current Part 150 Sound Insulation Program
is based on DNL65 which does not extend to the Friendly Hills area.
Ken Weisenburger commented on the noise of aircraft which results in loss of their
ability to enjoy the outdoors, especially during the summer months. Beaty reviewed
the Commission's history and attempts to resolve these concerns as well as procedural
changes.

Batchelder advised that the Mayor presented the City's position that the Part 150 Sound
Insnlation Program should be extended. to the DNL65 area at the June 3, 1996 MSP �
Mitigation Committee meeting. �

5f. The Commission acknowledged the City of Eagan - ARC Agendas for May 14, May
23, and June 11, 1996.
Sg. The Commission acknowledged receipt of the SMAAC Newsletter for May, 1996.
Beaty requested his name be pla.ced on the mailing list for this Newsletter. Batchelder
explai.ned issuance is irregular but staff will provide copies of the SMAAC Newsletter
whenever it is published.
Sh. ��'he Commission acknowledged receipt of the Sta�Tribune Article of June 4, 1996, on
MSP Mitigation Committee.
Si. The Commission acknowledged receipt of the Zoning News Article, "The Trouble with
Airports. " Batchelder pmvided a brief synopsis of the articles contained within. Stein
requested a copy of the `Airport Noise Report"by Anne H. Kohut.
Weisenburger expressed concern regardi.ng sta.bility of property values due to this
increasing levels of airport noise.
�.
Weisenburger expressed his interest in this issue and volunteered to help get
information out to residents. Surrisi suggestecl an informational handout be considered
to better inform residents. She also suggested considera.tion of signage in various
,� neighborhoods and possibly to support a"walk" at the auport which will result in
media. coverage.
- Beaty commented on the hesitancy to "raise red flags" due to concern with a drop in
overall housing valuations which is what happened in south Minneapolis.
Batchelder suggested the meeting agenda be rearr.anged so consideration is first given to
Unf'uiished and New, Business to assure these action items receive proper time.
Consensus was reached to try this new format at the next meeting with the various
reports and conespondence being considered as "Update Items" .

Bea,ty suggested Mendota. Heights representation on MAC and MASAC be added since
it in the Plan of Action. Consensus reached.
Stei.n reqnested that prevention of the north parallel third runway be pla.ced back on the
Topics of Interest as item 16. Consensus reached.
Discnssion was held with ea.ch Commissioner indicating their priority topics with the
following consensu�s rea.ched:
1. Non-Simultaneous Departure Procedures.
2. Global Positioni.ng Satellite Technology (Implemented 1995-96).
4. Nighttime Restrictions on Aircraft Operations.
9-10. Noise Measurement Issues - Usefiulness of Ldn 65 Contour and Equity of
Current Runway Use System; and P.xpansion of MAC Aircraft Noise
Operations Monitoring System (ANOMS).
13. Equity of Current Runway Use System.
The following topics will be added to the list:
15. MAC and MSAC Representa.tion.
16. Prevention of Third Parallel Runway.
17. Noise Abatement Departure Profiles.
Batchelder used a map to review the tower headings for the two runways during non-
simultaneous departures and change of degrees due to a shift in magnetic headings
wluch results i.n more airplane activity over Mendota Heights' residential areas versus
industrial areas. Mendota. Heights would like to continue to pursue a centerline
headi.ng which will keep the flight pattem over industrial areas.
Beaty noted this was discussed at the last meeting but the Commission determi.ned not
to worry about the magnetic shift, at this time, and to focus on the crossing pattern.
Consensus was reached to direct sta.ff to draft a letter to the FAA-Great Lakes Region
outlining the lvstory of the enforcement issae since 1992 with copies to local staff,
Representative Bruce Vento, Senator Paul Wellstone, and Senator Rod Grams to upda.te
them of these issues and for consideration by the Mayor and Council. Consensas was
also rea.ched to add this action to the Plan of Action.

The Commission then reviewed and discussed ea.ch of the issues, goals, and action
steps in the Air Noise Plan of Action, narrowing the corridor, and need to enforce �
operational procedures. They suggested City staff scan radio tower communications to
monitor transmissions to assure they comply with opera.tional procedures.
Consensus was reached to modify the Air Noise Plan of Action, Page 7, #5, December
through February, to invite Senators and Representatives to meetings to hear concerns -
add date.
Surrisi questioned the option of declaring the wetland as a protected area within the
proposed path of the third runway area. The Commission requested Batchelder
research consultants who have expertise in this area.
Beaty requested that Batchelder assign dates to the action steps. With regard to
��backsliding, Batchelder suggested a joint discussion between communities where the
facts can be laid out and then addressed at an upcoming MASAC meeti.ng.
The Commission directed Batchelder to finalize the Mendota. Heights Airport Plan of
Action for consideration at the July 16, 1996, meeting.

Beaty inquired regardi.ng the need to establish a corridor boundary so it can be
determined if Mendota. Iieights supports a narrowing of the comdor. Surrisi raised the
option of flying the Ri�er in and out.
Beaty extended the Commission's apprecia.tion to the Ma.yor for his active role in tlus
important issue.

APPROVAL OF MINUTES
Commissioner Leurnan moved approval of the May 8,1996 minutes.
Commissioner Olsen seconded the motion.
AYES: 6
NAYS: 0
DISCUSS NOISE ABATENIENT
, DEPARTURE PROFILES
Batchelder reviewed that at the June 25, 1996, MASAC Meeting, they agaire
considered the recommendation from the MASAC Operations Committee that
"Close-In" departure procedures be used only for departures off 29L and 29R
over Minneapolis. Ali other runways wroulcl continue to use the "Distant'°
departure procedure. However, MASAC did not act on this recommendation at
their May or June meetings and carried it forward for further consideration
since there is concern over the data used for population and household counts,
as well as other concerns by surrounding communities.
Batchelder reviewed that at the June meeting, the Airport Relations
Commission had directed staff to assist Councilmember Jill Smith in her
meetings with MASAC. Tomorrow they will meet with MAC representatives to
Iook, in detail, at population and household counts. it is hoped this will enable
the determination of the accuracy of the data and result in being more precise
t� �� about the affect of the proposed departure profiles.

�.
Beaty commented on the different c8eparture procedures and benefit received
when planes get to a higher altitude more quickly. He inquired regarding why
this has not been seriously discussed. Olsen stated it may be an issue where �
the airlines are concerned with cost. Fitzer stated he does not know how much
additional fuei it would take, but maybe it has not been considered because the
population towards Minneapolis is higher than over Mendota Heights.
Beaty asked that this question be posed to MASAC. Batchelder statec! he would
do so and advised that Eagan consiciered a resolution in support of Close-In
Departures.
DISCUSS MENDOTA HEIGHTS
AIRPORT PLAN OF ACTION
Batchelder reviewed the prioritized Topics of Interest list and the two changes
made since the last meeting to the Air Noise Plan of Action. He advisec! the
follow up letter to the FAA was added and is almost ready but the FAA said they
wouid no# be able to address this issue for two months. This letter will also be
copied to Mendota Heights' congressmen and legislators. Batchelder noted the
second revision on page 7, a date was added to invite legislatures to attend a
meeting in December/January.
6atchelcler acOvised that d.ue to scheduling conflicts, the Airport Plan of Act6on
wi61 not be presented to the City Councii until August 20,1996. Therefore, the �„
Airport Relations Commission will have the opportunity to review it at their
August meeting, prior to Council presen$ation.
� The Commission complemented staff on their preparation of this presentation.
DISCUSS NOOSE MITIGATION
COMiUIITTEE AND CITY EFFORTS
Batchelder reported the MSP Mitiga$ion Committee met again on June 26,1996,
at which time Inver Grove Heights, Eagan, Minneapolis, and St. Paul gave their
presentations on Noise Mitigation. He noted their agenda, discussion outline,
and chart detailing different city's positions expressed before the MSP
Mitigation Committee. He pointed out under the operational column, that four to
five cities have broughtforward the issue of equitable distribution of air noise.
He suggested that the Runway Use System is outdated and needs to be
updated.
Beaty urged members to read the Mendota Heights Position Statement which
was presented in June to the MSP Mitigation Committee. He noted it does
include the suggestion to modify runways b�at he supports adding, as Eagan did,
to require four miles for landing to avoid'°cut ins'° during non-busy time �`
2
periods. Beaty stated fVlendota Heights may want to determine their position
regarding that issue.
Batchelcler advised he met with Eagan staff to establish issues which all cities
agree on. Hopefully at August meeting, a coalition list will be ready to discuss
with Dakota County to seek their support>
Gross inquired regarding the future impact of the global positioning satellite
system (GPS). 6atche0der explained that GPS is capable of pinpointing and
getting airplanes to track. Currently, the airport uiilizes a straight lineup for
arrivals and Mendota Heights wants to avoid the need for a turning movement
for arrivals. Gross questioned wl�ether, if this is the way of the future, Mendota
Heights should fight it or, perhaps, it woulcD be better to compromise on that
position to gain something else.
Fitzer expressed concern with an air pattern so close that it results in a sharp
ar�-ival. He agreed that the GPS technology would ailow this but he quest6ons
how tne airiine intends to utilize it. Fitzer �aointed out the airlines will be able to
have a tighter area of impact which may save them money.
Gross questioned the strength of the community°s position. Batchelder agreed
this is why communities need to reach a coalition statement and gain assistance
from Dakota County. He noted that Mendota Heights has not had this
�� opportunity before, to submit information before the tVISP Mitigation Committee
and cautioneci there may not be another such opportunity for some time. He
emphasizec! the data on the chart and stated he is encouraged about the
indicaiion from MAC that operational changes can be beneficiale
Since technology is available through GPS to have a five mile turn-in, Fitzer
suggested it may be to Menclota Height's advantage to start discussions now so
there will be no planes allowed to turn in within ien mi0es, or five mile final.
Leuman questioned the issue of using north/south runway and suggested it be
brought up.
Batchelder noted Eagan's Noise Mitigation Program indicates there would be
100% federal PART 150� participation for noise abatement the within 60 DNL,
then the next area would receive a 50/50 spiit, etc. He noted this pian
incorporates a phased level of benefit, not such a severe cutoff line between
areas. Beaty agreed it is more of a phase-out plan.
5a. REVIEW NON SIMU�TANEOUS DEPARTURE PROCEDURES

5b. REVIEW BACKSLIDING AND 1VWA F�EET COiVVERSION PLAN
Batchelder explained that he was in the process of preparing a letter to �
iV1AC regarding backsliding but the Stage 111 Report, recently given to the
MSP Committee, indicates the percentages are not as bad as thought.
Batchelder advised that the agreement_NWA has with MAC is for no
backsiiding on a ear0 basis, not month to-month, and that their use of
Stage I I I at this airport will be no less than their fleet mix nation-wide.
However, this is difFicult to calculate because of how their airpianes are
used (long haul).
Batchelder suggested sending a letter to Jennifer Sayers (who works
with public information for NWA) requesting that this percentage data be
.prepared separately for NWA since they are the only airlines which has
agreed not to backslide. Also, this will put NWA on notice that Mendota
Heights is watching their fleet mix. Once this information is known, the
City can decide if a letter should be sent to MAC regarding backslideng.
Consensus was reached to concur with Batchelder's suggestions.

posed to residents and the responses given. It was noted that the most
common response was the need for a free time period during the day when
residents are not annoyed by airplaneso The second most comrnon response
was the desire for fewer planes. �

DISCUSSION
On July 26, 1996, a package was mailed to each Commissioner containing the position
statements from Minneapolis, Ea,gan, Burnsville, Bloomington, and Mendota. Heights, as well
as a summary sheet prepared by MA.C. These statements were recorded during the MSP
Mitigation Committee's process to make a recommendation on noise mitigation at MSP.
�,
The Commission was aware that the Northern Dakota. County Aiiport Relations
Coalition (NDCARC) was considering a joint position statement so that Dakota County could
be asked to join in the lobbying efforts on our behalf. City Council considered this item at

Dakota County Board of Commissioners
attn: Mr. Michael Turner, Chair
1590 West I�ighway 55
Hastings, MN 55033
Dear Commissioner Turner:
At the time of the County's decision on the Dual Track Airport Study, the County Board
action included support for noise mitigation for Dakota. County cities wluch will be affected by
the airport's expansion. The Cities of Eagan, Mendota Heights, Inver Grove fieights and
Burnsville, representing more than half of the p�pulation of Dakota County, ar� cunently
working with the MAC, Metropolitan Council and other cifres to identify an appmpriate scope
for the mitigation of expanded operations at the international airport. The report of this group
is due in mid September., It is possible that mitigation efforts may extend to other Dakota
County cities such as Sunfish Lake and Mendota. as well.
While the airport relocation is no longer an issue for some Dakota County residents, it remains
a significant issue for thousands of others. It is important for the County to carry through with �
its commitment to these residents by supporting the best possible midgation package for the
airport impact area. �
It is essential tbat the County advocate for an aggressive set of noise mitigation procedures and
an expanded area of eligibility for the Part 150 Program. The County should also support the
availability of these tools in a much larger area. than is typically the case. Our City is
advocating the expansion to the 60 DNL as the area of eligibility which would apply for all
mitigati.on tools, including the current Part 150 Sound Abatement pmgram.
To support this effort, it is important that the County provide staff resources to the affected
communities and lobbying efforts at the MAC and Legislative levels. In particular, it will be
necessary to have the County's support for mitigation initiatives and operational restrictions
supported by Dakota. County cities at the Mitigation Committee. It will also be essentiial that
the County assist in persuading the Legislature that significant state funding, in addition to
MAC funding, will be necessary to implement the noise mitigation procedures to an enlarged
area..

DAKOTA COi;fNTY' NOISE MITIGATION
COlVIN10N ISS�TL�.S
The state, region and airport need to proactively plan for future noise impacts associated with
the continued opera.tion and expansion of Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport.
Progra�ms must be established, suff'iciently funded and broadly applied which will provide
resources and benefits directly to noise affected residents and their communities to compensate
them for the impacts of the airport, to stabilize and revitalize neighborhoods whose quality of
life and value are affected by aircraft noise and to redevelop azea.s to noise compatible land
uses where necessary. It is also important to implement runway use and operating standards
wluch provide for an equitable distribution of noise generated by the airport.
1. State Funding/Mitigation Financing Plan - Together with the Metropolitan
Airports Commission, the State of Minnesota. has an obligation to fund the
mitigation of airport noise impacts as part of the actual cost of expanding the
airport at its current location. Mitigation financing could include increased.
landing fees, increased passenger facilities chaxges or ticket surcharges, other
service charges and state bonding or general fund alloca.tions. In no case should
unreimbursed imancial impacts fall on affected residents or their 1oca1
governments.
�P
2. Large P.ligibility Area`with Graduated. Application of Mitigation Tools -
Mitigation tools need to be available over a much broader area than has been the ��
case to date and their application should be graduated or phased out at greater
distances to avoid stark clifFerences in opportunities for residents at the
boundaries. Certain cities are supporting a 60 DNI. plus 3-2-1 concept that
suggests that all tools be available within one mile of the 60 DNL contour, some
percentage or portion of the tools between one and two miles and a smaller
percentage or portion between two and three miles.
3a Property Va1ue Guarantee/Purchase Assarance - A program should be available
which assures that a residential. property is not devalued by noise and that
residents can receive fair value for their home upon sale. Where landowners
percei�e that thelr investment may be unpacted. by increased aircraft noise there
anay be a disyncentive to remain in ox maintain the neighborhood and a
deteriorat�on of value may occur. A program wluch guarantees the value at sale
will sta.bilize neighborhoods and climuush perceived impacts. `�
4. Expanded Housing Revitaliza.tion and Stabilization Program - The current
Airport Area I3ousing Revitalization and Stabilization Zone should be expanded
and be made available to a11 affected residents uutially and to prospecti�e buyers°
as properties are so1d.
�
5. This Quiet 01d House - Homes within the airport noise impact area should be
entitled to This Old House property tax deferments for sound insulation
improvements.
6. Aggressive Sound Insulation - The Part 150 Sound Insula.tion Prograui is
effective and very well received, but is available in an extremely limited area.
It must be available over a much broader area to reflect actual unpacts of noise.
7. Residential Property Acquisition - In areas of 1ugh, chronic noise exposure, the
aixport should provide for acquisition funding. The decision to seek acquisition
within the neighborhoods should remain with the cities to insure that such action
is consistent with the community's comprehensive plan.
S. Neighborhood Enhancements - Communities should receive resources to
enhance the quality of neighborhoods and help stabilize property values in
affected area.s.
9< Airport Area. Community Frotection Packa.ge - The tools outlined in the d
Community Protection Package including many of those mentioned above are
critical to the maintenance of viable neighborhoods where it is possible and the
effective redevelopment of areas where at is not. A qnalification is that it would
be inappropria.te to implement another la.yer of government in the form of an
airport zoning board. T1�e communities which ha.ve developed since
i.mplementation of the region's aircraft noise policy have done so responsibly
and will continue to do sae Local governments shonld retain the authority and
be given the resources and tools to bring about airport compatibility instea.d.
10. Independent Operations 1Vionitoxuig System/Fines for Operations Viola.tions -
Simil��r to the system in place at Denver International Airport, ihe MAC should
install a monitoring systems wluch does not require a contractual relationship
with the FA,A and enforce compliance .with appropriate operations standards.
The MAC should institute a system of punitive imes for failure to comply with
noise abatement procedures.
11. Additional Noise Monitors - The MAC noise monitoring system should be
tripled in size to provide more coverage of actual impacts in the airport vicinity.
In particular, area.s affected by the north-south runway and parallel runways
should have additional uucrophone locations to monitor continued and growing `
volumes of air ta.aff'ic as the auport e�ands.
12. Base mitigat�on on Actual Impacts- Data from ANOMS and an expanded noise
monitoring system should be used in place of modeled contours for all noise
mitigation programs.
�
13. Fund Research on the Long-Term Health Effects of Aircraft Noise - The Sta.te
and the Federal government should fund research concerning the effects of /
aircraft noise on residential populations. l
14. Night time Operations - The shoulder hours within which limits on operations
are in place should be extended and nighttime opera.tions should be limited to
State III aircraft immediately.
15. Use of the Crosswind Runway - The Runway Use System should be modif'ied to
utilize Ranway 4/22 whenever possible including night time hours.

Dear Mr. Mayor and City Council:
1--_.._
This letter is written to protest the airplan.e noise in our neighborhood-
Cheri Lane. We ha�e friends and relatives living on Swan Drive and Bluebill
who have told us they gpt a letter gining thear $25,000 for repairs and
replacements.on their homesa We here on Cheri Lane have received no proposal
or settlement like this at a111 Why? And, we've heard St. Thomas Academy
and Visitation Schools are getting 2y� Million dollars! The students are there
only 6 to 8 hours a day, 9 months a year. The teachers are there probably
only 8 hours a dayetc. Meanwhile, we on Cheri Lane are in our homes 24 Hours
a day, ? d�rs a week, 12 months a year. And we get nothin�. Why?
If you at City Hall really believe there is no noise problem on Cheri Lane
. we invite you to come over here•and see and hear for yourself. Do we have to
take legal action to get a fair treatment like our neighbors? When wip( we
hear from you on thi�? ^� ,�/

August 9, 1996
Dear Resident:
The City acknowledges your petition regarding the Sound Insulation program operated by the
Metropolitan Airports Commission (MAC) that you have noticed near your neighborhood.
Formally known as the MAC Part 150 Residential Sound Insulation Program, this is a federal
program implemented through MAC by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to make
neighborhoods located near airports more compatible with airport noise. We appreciate your
interest in this progra.w and this letter is an attempt to describe the Part 150 program for you.
The Part 150 Progr�un is a program where FAA. funds are given to local airport operators
(MAC) to provide sound insulation to residential and educational structures o� to acquire
property within eligible areas around a�rports. The area. of eligibility for this program has
been defined by the FAA as the approved 1996 DNL 65 noise contour. (Please see attached
map.)
The 1996 DNL noise contour represents a five-year projection of the yearly noise average at
the Mi.nneapolis-St. Pau1 International Airport (1VISP). Tlus contour has been overlaid on a �
land use map around Minneapolis/St. Paul Airport to define the area of eligibility. Residences
and schools inside or adjacent to this I.DN 65 contour are eligible for Federal assistance. The
Metropolitan Airports Com�mission implements this program thraugh'funding provided by the
FAA and MAC in the Part 150 Sound Insulation Program.
The City of Mendota Heights has no control over the FAA Part 150 program with the
exception of whether we desire to participate in this program or not. • Since 1991, the City of
Mendota. Iieights has agreed to participate in this program and for the last several years 54
homes in the Furlong Addition, along Pi1ot Knob Road, Rogers Road (now known as Boume
Lane) and along Lexington Avenue have had the opportunity to voluntarily participate.
Schools, whether they are public or private, are second in priority to residential structures for
sound insula.tion. Visitation and St. Thomas Academy are inside the area. of eligibility, and
recently have attained the priority level necessary to participate in the program.
Recently the FAA has approved the extension of the Part 150 program to include "boundary
blocks". Bounclary blocks are defined as blocks that aze intersected by the outermost 65 DNL
contour boundary of the approved 1996 Noise Fxposure Map. Based on the "boundary block" _
decision, an additiona135 homes in the Curley Neighborhood, along Lexington Avenue,
Wagon Wheel, Swan Drive and Rogers Avenue have become eligible for 1996 funding.
August 9, 1996
Page two
The City of Mendota Heights is strongly advoca.ting the expansion of the area of eligibility for
the FAA Part 150 prograin. Mayor Mertensotto is cunently working extremely hard through
the MSP Mitigation Committee to see that the sound insulation programs aze expanded to
include other Mendota Heights neighborhoods including Wagon Wheel Trail, Rogers Lake
neighborhood, Eide Addition, Mendakota. Estates, Curley neighborhood and Friendly Hills.
Mendota. Heights has long advocated the expansion of the Part 150 Program to the DNL 60
contour which would include all the above mentioned neighborhoods. It makes no sense to
draw a curtain on a map in which homes on one side are 100 percent eligible and homes on the
other side are not eligible. We are hoping that through our current efforts, we can achieve an
expanded area of eligibility. However, these decisions are exclusively under the control of the
MAC and the FAA.
Your petition will be forwarded to Mr. Steve Vecchi, Progra.m Director at the Metropolitan
Airports Commission for the Part 150 Noise Program. Your petition will be forwazded to the
Airport Relations Commission and to the City Council. I have attached some background
information on the Part 150 program for your information. Plea.se do not hesitate to contact
me if you have further questions, or would like to discuss this issue.
Sincerely,
I�evin Batchelder
City Administrator
cc: City Council
Steve Vecchi, MAC ,

Based on the approved 1996 DNL 65 noise contou� appm�imately 7,1g l homes are currendy eligible
-for the MAC Part 150 Residential Sound Insula�ion Program at an eslim�t;ed cost of $127,700,000. (An
- addiaonal 1,676 homes in the soudi Richfield and Bloomington areas are currendy deferred due to the
Runway 4/22 Runway Use S�stem ongoing mediation.) � .
During the 1992-1995 time period, MAC insvlated a total of 1,823 homes in the MAC Part 150
Residentiaal Sound Insulation Program at a wst of $35,200,000. The 1992 grant year (139 homes) seived
as the "pilot" year in which MAC tested various acousi'rcal produds and techniques, as well as construcction
proces.ses. Since 1992, MAC has made many modific�tions to improve the pmgi�m and has gradually
acceleraieci the rate of homes insulated each y�eac
,, It is pmjected that MAC will ia�laxe 1,200 homes in 1996 at a cost of $20,700,000 and maintain tivis

By Mike Westholder
Staff Writer
A panel working on a recommenda-
tion for mitigating the impact of the Min-
neapolis St. Paul International Airport
reached one agreement Friday.
The Airport Mitigation Committee
won't be able to make its recominenda-
tion in time to meet the Legislature-im-
. • posed September deadline. .
Committee chairperson Steve
Cramer said the panel will need more
time.
Cramer concluded that the committee
should push back to October the dead-
line for its report to Metropolitan Air-
ports Commission.
"That waq we can work our way
through this and get a good set of rec-
ommendations," Cramer said.
Besides, most elected officials will be
more focused on campaigning than� on
the panel's recommendations, he said.
__ Last session, the Legislature directed
r' ��C to produce a report on how best to
�_.:rect noise mitigation efforts to reduce
the impact of airport noise on area resi-
dents.
In turn, 1VIAC appointed the mitiga-
tion, committee. The committee is com-
prised of representatives from MAC,
Northwest.Airlines, the Metropolitan
Council and the mayors of the cities most
impacted by airplane noise.
Members of the mitigation committee
scheduled a public hearing for residents
to eomment on the noise mitigation op-
tions the panel is discussing. The public
hearing will be ? p.m. Aug. 29 at the
�hhunderbird Hotel, 2201 E. 78th St. in
Bloomington. . �
During their fourth meeting to date;
committee �members coritinued to dis-
cuss their positions on several mitiga-
tion issues. 7.bpics included expanding
the. boundaries for noise insulation and
construction of a north-south runway for
noise redistribution. �
� The crosswind Runway 422 is being
extended by 2,600 feet and could be used
for noise redistribution after its. com-
pleted next month.
� �
MAC Had planned to use 4-22 for
noise redistribution but was prevented
when the City of Richfield filed litiga-
tion. That suit charged that MAC's envi-
ronmental impact study of the runway
and its impacts was not adequate.
Through mediation, Richfield agreed
to stay the suit when MAC agreed to
build the extension without the taxi
ways needed to use 4-22 for noise redis-
tribution.
Committee members briefly dis-
cussed the use of the egtended Runway
422 for noise redistribution, sending
more planes toward south Richfield and
north Bloomington and away from south:
Minneapolis and north Richfield.
Several stake-holders including rep-
resentatives from Minneapolis, Eagan
and MAC suppori the plan, while Bloom-
ington and Richfield oppose it.
1b use the extended runway for noise
spread.ing, the take-off points must be
moved about a half-mile closer to resi-
dents in Bloomington and Richfield.
MAC estimates the cost of insulating
and acquiring noise-impacted homes in
south R,ichfield and Bloomington at $4a
million. �
� � Committee members discussed thE
timeline for constructing a north-soutb
runwaq along the west side of the airpori
property. '
If a north-south runway is built, thc
422 runway could not be used for noise
spreading, malang it only usable for long
haul and international flights.
If the north-south is built in three
years, it may not be necessary to insu-
late noise-impacted homes in Blooming-
ton and south Richfield while Runway 4
22 is used to redistribute noise, Metro-
politan Airports Commissioner John
Himle said. '
But if the north-south runway takes
15 to 20 years to build, insulation likely
would be required in those areas most af-
fected by 4-22. .
Both Eagan and Richfield have voiced
opposition to tlie north-south runway.
Himle asked the mayors of Eagan and
Richfield whether their communities
would attempt to delaq the construction
of a north-�outh runway through litiga-
tion.
Eagan Mayor Thomas Egan said his
community is serious in its opposition
and had not ruled out the option of liti-
gation. •
Richfield Mayor Martin Kirsch said
his community would reserve the right
to litigate depending on the outcome of
the environmental. impact statement
being prepared.
"We will alwaqs keep the option of 1i�t-
igation to protect our residents," Kirsch
said.
. Richfield of�cials are particularly
concerned with ground-level noise that
will be generated on the north-south
runway, he said.
If the panel votes to recommend the
north-south runway be built, Richfield
should determine what mitigation ef-
forts it needs to "soften the impact,"
Himle said.
A position statement on that topic is
being prepared and will be completed�in
about a month, Kirsch said.

5. Update: Pa�t 150 Sound Insulation Proqram
Steve Vecchi recapped current statistics and information on the Part 150 Sound Insulation
� ' . Program. Mr. Vecchi dispiayed and expiained a new digitized contour map, produced by MACs
Aviation Noise and Satellite Program, which was color coded with the block-by-block prioritization.
Steve explained the Decibel Reduction Package and the home modifications involved.
Please see the attached Monthly Status Report:
• By the end of 1995, 1823 homes were insulated fo� $35.2 million.
• This year the pace was accelerated to 1200 homes per year or 100 homes pef month.
This is the highest rate of any airport in the US.
• The budget is $20.7M for 1996. �
• The total budget for the project is $156.7M (Average -$17,300 per home)
• Total homes completed as of 6-1-96 is 1912. There are 399 homes in constrvction and
337 in preconstruction. A total of 2648 homes are in the system.
Various questions were answered regarding the p�ogram.
1995 Proaram Improvements (1) MAC increased their direct invoivement in the program (2)
specialized the consultant staff, (3) chair all key program meetings: homeowner meetings,
general contractor meetings, supplier meetings, asbestos abatement � mechanical meetings; etc., •
(4) improved product styles, all of which must be tested and approved.
Last year MAC received a federal award for the highest Disadvantaged Business Enterprises
(DBE) participation in a federal prog�am.
Homeowner Survev Results Mr. Vecchi presented the 1992-1995 Homeowner Survey results.
Please refer to the attachment. Significant improvements in all categories have been made to
the program over the past four years. •
Jim Semn commented on unhappy homeowners. He asked if MAC has investigated whether or
not homeowners are selling their home immediately or soon after the sound insulation
modifications are completed.
6. Presentatian: NADP Recommendation
Mark Salmen Northwest moved, and Dick Keinz MAC seconded to recommend to the MAC
. P&E Committee and t�he Full Commission the "Distant Communitv Depa�ture Profile" utilization
on Runwavs 11UR and Runwav 4/22 and the "Close-in Community Deqarture Profile" utilization
on Runwavs 29UR.
A discussion session followed.
Page 3
9. Other Items Not on the Aqenda
Chairman Johnson announced that this will be Jean Deighton's last meeting serving MASAC as
the recording secretary. She is leaving MAC to enter the private sector. �
Jim Serrin elaborated on the. importance of �edistributing straight-out departure traffic over heavily
used arrival paths. There are several areas that are closer to the airpo�t than others which get
very little tra�c, and redistribution would help. The matter of fanning some of the departure
tracks needs to be seriously considered for relief in the 60 to 65 DNL area. Elirrri�ation of sharp
tums, redistribution of flights over Minneapalis, and aircraft routing needs to be -addressed. He
suggested MASAC begin a study on this redistribution of traffic. Other members commented that
reasonable distribution of noise is one of MASAC's main tenets, and this redistribution needs to
be addressed.
10. Adioumment
Chairman Johnson adjoumed the meeting at 10:10 p.m.
Respectfully submitted.
Jean Deighton, Secretary

SIXTH AUCTICDl�1 CONDUCTED
MAC, WDSCO, and Kloster Industrial Auctioneers
conducted the sixth pnblic auction on Thursday, June 27,
1996, at 1:30 p.m. Out of twenty-seven (27) houses
available for suction, all were sold.
The highest bid for a home this auction was $30,500,
which was also the highest dollar amount realized for
any suction home to date. The lowest bid was 5400,
with an average price celculation of $8,181.48 for ali
homes purohases at this sixth auction. The chart betow
reflects the success of each suction, with funds generated
in excess of one million ¢bllms finm all six aucrions to
go back into funding for the Part 150 Land Acquisition
and Relocation Program.

compledng preparation for the demoli6on of seven (7)
buildings in New Ford Town snd one (1) buIlding in

SOUTH METitO AIRPORT ACTION COUNCIL iiUGUST 1996
Mayor Sharon Sayles Belton of
Minneapolis has adopted many of
South Metro Airport Action
Council's recommendations for
noise abatement in her role as
Minneapolis' key�,delegate to the
new MAC Noise Mitiga�ion
Conunittee.
The Metropolitan Airports
Commission (MAC) committce
was formed by the 1996 Minnesota
Legislature to work out ways to
invest at least $185 million in noise
mitigation steps. It consists of the
mayors of the eight communities
-��urounding the Minneapolis-
i �Paul (MSP) airport, plus four
NIAC Commissioners, two
Metropolitan Council members,
one representative from the Metro
Are� Saund Abatement Council
(MA�AC) and one representative
from Northwest Airlines.
Each of the mayors presented his or
her basic positions on noise relief in
the first four sessions. A public
hearing on their preliminary
recommendations is set for Aug.
29. The full MAC board is to vote
Sept. 16 on final recommendations
for the next legislative session.
Sayles Belton specifically proposed
the following ideas:
(1) No third parallel runway;
(2) Increased use of the newly
expanded 4/22 crosswind runway
to lessen trai�ic over Minneapolis
� from the two parallel runways;
� �
(3) More data on the ground
noise effects of a proposed nort.h-
south runway, and the budgeting of
all mitigation costs at both ends of
the runwa.y as projects costs;
(4) Cease alt Stage 2 aircraft
fli,ghts between 10 p.m. and 6 am;
(5) Monitor and enforce national
legislation mandating airline fleet
conversion to all Stage 3 by 2000;
(6) Until then, require airlines to
use the same percentage of Stage 3
aircraft at MSP as they do at other
airports; at present, Northwest, the
largest carrier here, uses more
Stage 2 (specifically DC-9's) here
than elsewhere;
(7) Ensure that operational
requirements, such as the three-mile
corridor for departures over
Eagan/Mendota Heights, are noise-
reducing measures, not simply
rneasures that increase noise in
other areas;
(8) Use actual current sound data
recorded by the Airport Noise and
Operating Monitoring System
(ANOMS) instead of computer-
generated data whenever possible
to analyze noise effects;
(9) Encourage the MAC and
other aviation organizations to
prornote the development of Stage
4 aircraft;
(10) Extend the home insulation
program to Ldn 60 contour, but
only after completing the present
Part 150 program (covering some
4,000 remaining homes by 2000,
all in Miuuieapolis);
(11) Insulate Ldn 60 homes at the
same rate in each community,
ra.ther than one community at a
time, as was the Part 150 practice;
(12) Notify homeowners of
the planned insulation schedule for
the remaining four years of the Part
150 program; use only quality
contractors and materials; create
several ombudsmen, funded by the
program but responsible to the
homeowners, to resolve disputes;
(13) Expand eligibility for
insulation to multi-fanuily
dwellings, churches, nursing
homes, commercial and
recreational buildings;
(14) Institute a system of
properly value guarantees to
encourage occupants to stay and
invest in their hornes;
(15) Provide some form of tax
abatement to compensate
homeownersfor the loss of
tranquillity;
(16) Increase amenities such as.
decorative street lighting,
recreational facilities, athletic
programs, reforestatioq etc. to
strengthen neighborhood appeal;
(17) Study the long-term health
effects of exposure to aircraft
noise;
(18) Update MACs
emergency/disaster plan.
As to financing, Sayles Belton
urged that the state shoulder some
of the responsibility for mitigation
"as the airport is a benefit to the
entire state." She suggested the
MAC and the state create a trust
fund from higher landing fees or a
percentage of annuai capital
expenditures to finance the next
round of mitigation needs.
Observers are concerned that
because the Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) is restricted
by federal law to fund home
insulation programs only in the 65
Ldn zone or lugher, the rule would
have to be changed or new funding
sources found to qualify 60 Ldn
homes. Of the $185 million floor '
mandated by the Legislature, an-
estimated $135 million has already
be�n budgeted by MAC for home
insulation and buy-outs through
2000. Thus, at least $40 million in
"new" money is nceded to rneet the
legislature's floor.

SMAAC is working with some 15
neighborhood associations, 10
religious institutions, and 20
elected officials to create a
coalition of or�;anizations
representing a broad spectnun of
south Minneapolis residents.
The purpose of the newly founded
South Minneapolis Airport Noise
Mitigation Coalition (SMANIVIC)
is to advocate long-range solutions
to airport issues affecting our
neighborhoods. With the new state
law keeping the Minneagolis-
St.Paul Metropolitan Airport
(MSP) at its present site for the
foreseeable future, our role will be
to recommend noise mitigation
strategies that will retain and
improve our quality of life.
SMANMC has been formed now
for two reasons. Firstly, the
community needs to be a part of the
decision-making process regarding
new noise mitigation strategies.
Our health, homes, property values,
schools and churches are at stake
as well as the quality of our
environment. We want to make
sure new dollars are distributed
fairly. Secondly, we need to be
united to fight the potential
expansion of the airport at its
present site. SMAAC, acting as the
temporary steering committee, sees
this coalition as critical to fighting
future issues from a broad
community base.
As part of the recent legislation, the
Metropolitan Airports Commission
(MAC) has created a Noise
Mitigation Committee comprised of
mayors of affected commututies
including Minneapolis,
Bloomington, Richfield, Eagan,
Mendota Heights, St. Paul,
Burnsville and Inver Grove
Heights. 'fhis committee's purpose
is to make recommendations to
MAC about the allocation of funds,-
While airplane noise is not C
distributed evenly over the -
communities represented on this
committee, representation has been
assigned one vote per community
rather than proportionally to the
number of homes or people
affected. It is this fact that
especially is of concern to
Sh��1NMC and SMAAC — South
Minneapolis receives some 87% of
the noise generated by the airport
and thus we feel the majority of the
money spent on noise mitigation
should be in south Minneapolis.
SMAAC presented a preliminary
list af recommendations to Mayor
Sharon Sayles Belton ut late June.
It is our belief that our
recommendations need to be
represented strongly at the MAC
comrniitee and that without strong
representa.tion we will not see
sufficient dollars to address our
concerns.
To be heard on noise mitigation �
issues, contact your City Council �
and State representatives, or attend
the second round of public input
meetings with Sayles Belton at:
Roosevelt High School at
� p.m. Aug. �, or at
Diamond Lake Lutheran Church,
5�60 Portland Ave. at
7 p.m. Aug. 12.

Public ire over airline monopoly
pricing tactics spilled over into
legislative chambers June 14 when
four Senate committees met to
explore the reasons for and impact
of such pric'vng on the state's
economy.
��-
. ..
Af�r some four hours of
questioning of an airline industry
' ,onomist, Metropolitan Airports
.'onunission staff, Northwest
Airlines executives and two
business leaders, no clear answers
arose nor any solutions proposed.
At issue was a recent study by
Prof. Severin Borenstein of the
University of Califor,nia-Davis
showing that airline prices at
Niinne,apolis-St. Paul airport were
the fowth highest among the
busiest 30 hub cities in the U.S.
They ran 32 percent above the
national average for same-distance
trips in 1995.
4.,
R.anking ahead of MSP were
Charlotte (56 percent higher),
Cincinnati (54 percent) and
Pittsburgh (39 percent). The
lowest fare dif�ere�ntials were found
at Oakland (35 percent), Honolulu
(-26 percent), Phoenix (-24
percent) and San Diego (-23
percent).
,._ ���g only at the prices of the
` _ ,argest carrier at one auport,
gorenstein found that Northwest
Airlines' prices at MSP "are in the
same range as those of dominant
a�lines at some other large
airports: American at Dallas/Fort
Worth, US Air at Pittsburgh and
De��aa at Adanta. But they were
below US Air at Charlotte and
Delta at Cincinnati." Meanwhile,
the largest airlines at some other
hubs — Baltimore, Chicago,
Denver, Houston, Salt Lake City
and St. Louis — charge prices much
closer to the national average.
""Though these prices do not
ttecessarily indicate that there is a
lack of competition at MSP that
results in prices well above cost,
Borenstein said, `that inference
deserves serious attention. The U.
S. Departments of Justice and
Transportation have explicitly
recognized this hub dominance
effect." Northwest controls about
( )80 percent of the MSP market.
S1K��C N��YSL�TT��t
"I believe frequent-flyer programs,
travel agent commission ovemde
programs, share-based corporate
discount programs and limited gate
availability are among the major
causes of this hub dominance
effect. These factors make it very
difficult for new entrants to
cornpete with a dominant
incumbent. �
"At hubs where competitocs have
managed to gain a faothold, prices
have generally fallen and
consumers have benefited. I arn
not in a position to evaluate all of
the costs and benefits, but if gate
availability has impeded
competitive entry, expansion is a
1ogical step to consider as part of
an attempt to mcr�ease corngetition
and lower MSP airfares,"
Borenstein declared.
Northwest contended that higher
fares are the result of several
factors: a higher percentage of
business versus towrist traffic,lugh
quality service, and the cost of
maintaining and servicing a
diversified fleet of aircraft types
(Boeing, McDonnell Douglas and
Airbus) for intecnatiional routes.
Both Northwest and MAC oi�icials
denied there is a lack of gate space
at MSP. MAC said it has been
unsuccessful in attracting a major
discount carrier (such as Southwest
Airlines), but Vanguard and
Frontier have begun limited service
in the past yeac' to Denver,
Chicago, Kansas City and St.
Louis. Observers noted that Sun
Country Airlines, a Minneapolis-
based unscheduled line, has begun
advertising rnore heavily lately and
that Northwest has countered in a
few markets.
One fact became clear: airline
prices are set by competitors' rates,
not by costs.
One corporate travel manager,
Gloria Carlson of H. B. Fuller Co.,
noted wide disparities in ticket
prices per mile traveled, depending
on the competitiveness of the route.
She said list prices were prohibitive
and that more companies are
turning to videa conferencing to
reduce travel costs.
Carlson added that she'd beea told
"there are no extra gates available
at MSP" and that Northwest takes
90 minutes to iurn around a plane,
versus 45-60 minutes for other
carriers. "Dces Northwest use
these gates to a maximum, or could
a reasonable compromise provide
extra gat,es for others?," she asked.
(Northwest has consistently said it
dces and will lease extra gat�es to
competitors when asked, and that it
provides gate maintenance services

to smaller airlrries at several
airports as a source of revenue.)
MSP has 69 gates, and is
considering the addition of 15 gates
over the next 20 years under its
modest growth scenario.
Irving Stem, chaicman of a
voluntary association of MSP
carriers, air freight shippers and
other industry intec+ests called
GADA, contended that MSP
should continue to press for more
international flights as a way to
�iirrake this hub more attra:ctive to
other domestic carriers. He credited
NiAC for helping increase MSP's
weekly international flights from 60
to nearly 200 over the past year,
but noted, "it isn't easy, and it
dcesdt always work." Icelandic
Airways attempted to schedule
service here, but coulddt reach
agreement with Northwest on a
wholesale passenger relationship,
and went to Boston u�stead,
accarding to NWA.
If the MAC is required by the new
state law to fund noise insulation
for all of the homes in the 1996 60
LDN wne (see map), the bill could
exceeci $200 million, according to a
SMAAC estimate.
That's based on a conservative
guess that 410 residential blocks
with roughty 8,200 homes in south
Minneapolis, Richfield and
Bloomington alone fall into the
expanded noise eligibility zone. At
a limit of $25,000 per home, the
tab tops $205 million. And there
are an uncounted number of homes
in the less populated sections of
Mendota Heights, Inver Grove
Heights, Burnsville and Eagan to �
be considered.
Since an estima.ted $140 million of
the $185 rnillion minimum
mandated by the legislature is
commit�ed to finishing the present
home insulation program by 2000,
and since the FAA doesn't presently
fund any residential properties
outside the 65 LDN wne, the MAC
Noise Mitigation Committee and
legislature have a challenge to find
adequate sources.
The current Part 150 program is
insulating 1,200 homes a year at
the rate of $20 million a year, all in
Minneapolis, since other suburbs
have been completed. If run at the
same rate, the 60 LDN wne work
would take about seven years. �

The shortage of parking spaces in
the rnain parking ramp has forced
MAC to improvise an additional
1,000 spots by converting the
paesent eanployee parking lot near
the Humphrey Ternunal to public
use for about $1 million. 'The
s aces are to be read in Au or
�
p Y
September.
Meaciwhile, however, the plan to
add 1,200 pern�anent spaces on the
east end of the present multi-story
ramp for $25 million may have to
be scaled up draitiatically because
of sharply increased demand this
spring and summer. There's talk
now of having to add up to S,OO�J
more spaces for upwards of $140
rnillion (worst case) over the next
five years. Stay tuned.

The 10 percent airline ticket tax
and an air cargo waybill ta�c
generate about $5 billion a year to
fund the FAA's air traffic control
system, airport improvements and
the FAA budget.
'The taxes havedt bcen collected
since Jan. l, 1996, when President
Clinton vetoed a series of broad
spending bills that included an
extension of these levies. As a
result, the trust fund is seriously
depleteci and could run out of cash
by next January.
However, Congress is expected to
rea.ch an agreement in August to
either reinstate the excise tax or set
up a new user fee system, which is
backed by the seven major airlines.
The big carriers argue that the
excise tax gives an unfair pricing
advantage to low-cost airlines.
They have proposed a user fee of
$2 per airplane seat ($1 for
commuter planes), $4.50 per
passenger and 1/2 centper

Detroit Metropolitan Airport
announced plans Ma.y 20 to add 74
new gates — the equivalent of a new
Minneapolis-St. Paul airport -- and
a fourth para11e1 runway for $1.6
billion in the next three years.
What dces this mean to
Mianesotans? It all depends on
your perspective.
To the boosters of Minnesota's air
transportation industry, including
Gov. Carlson, the state legislature,
the Metropolitan Airports
Commission and the state's
construction, tourism and import-
export industries, it must be a
staggering blow.
That's because Minrresota. probably
has lost any chance of becoming
Northwest Airlines' dominant
internationat hub, and all the
economic fallout that implies (see
story next page).
What's worse, NWA will in effect
use some of the $800 million in
loans and grants advanced by the
state legislature and the MAC in
1992 to help finance the Detroit
expansion. Yet, there's not been a
word of public concern from either
Democrats or Republicans in
Minnesota over this stab in the
back.
Meanwhile, NWA and Michigan
officials are beating their breasts
over the anticipated economic shot
in the arm. "Detroit has become
Northwest's most important
international launching pad in
North America," said Don
Washburn, an NWA executive vice
president. "When our customers
come to the U.S. frorn Europe,
Japan, China, Mexico and Canada,
most will arrive in Detroit."
Said Robert Braun, director of
Metro airport, "I really believe this
opportunity could be as significant
for the region's economy in the
coming century as the auto industry
was to the last century." �
�'
To the residents of noise-battered
cornmunities surrounding MSP, it
means both good and bad news.
There won't be the noise of some
100,000 additional flights a year
ruining their day 10 years hence,
but there won't be as much need for
a new airport anywhere in
Minnesota in the next 20 years,
with associated job opportunities.
Observers are quick to point out
that MSP probably never had much
of a chance. Detroit Metro serves a
population of more than 21 million
compared with seven million in
MSP's natural trade area..
Furthermore, the U.S. and Japanese
auto industries are big customers of
the Michigan airport. Finally,
direct flights frorn Detroit to ,
Beijing are expected to relieve
congestion in Tokyo and bypass the
U.S. west coast Far East hubs
beca.use of a more efficient route
over the North Pole.
Ironically, the news was released `z
only weeks af�er NWA had lobbied
the Minnesota. legislature for a
minimal expansion plan here, and
only weeks before an independent
study found MSP operating costs
to be up to 42 percent lower than
competing airports. That built-in
advantage didni seem to matter to
cost-conscious NWA.
FUNDING PLANS
Funding for the $1.6-billion Detroit
Metro expansion project will come
from four sources, all airport-
related:
1) $700 million from passenger
facility charges (cunently $3 per
passenger);
`..
2) $350 million in ternunal rental
fees and other charges paid by
G1Ct1eTS;
3) $27S rnillion in federal funds
-�ost,ensibly the aviation trust fund);
and
4)$225 million in concessions,
parking and other traveler fees.
The expansion will add 64
domestic � and 10 iaternational
gates at the new mid-Seld tern�inal,
with an option to add nine more
domestic and two international
gates by 2010. Six current
internationai gates at an older
' terminal wilt be converted to
regional and charter flight use.

The economic loss to Minne.sota,
&om Nordiwest Airlines' decision
to locate its China gaieway in
Detroit rather than Minneapolis-St.
Paul will be substantial. Some
examples:
� ,�7) An estimated 20,000
pern�anern jobs, including ticket
agents, baggage handlers,
concession stand, security and
m�i�ttenance personnel at the
airport, plus an undetermined
number of "second-wave" jobs in
the cammunity; (Northwest alone
employs about 3,000 people at
Detroit Metro, out of a total airport
staff of 15,000);
2) Construction wages,
estimate� conservatively at $300
million for the new terminal,
runway, a 5,000-car parking
garage, new access road and
renovations to three existing
terniinals;
3) An estirnateti $50-$100 million
a year in increased retail and
lodging purchases;
4) Increased import and export
cargo handling fees;

Meanwhile, Minnesota. struggles to
build a vision for economic growth
in world markets from a second-
class vantage point.
South Minneapolis residents who
assumed the threat of a third
parallel runway sa.fely was buried
with the passage of the new airport
law may have been premature.
Within six weeks after the law's
approval. MAC officials
announced preliminary discussions
were under way with the U.S.
Bureau of Mines and Minnesota
Departrnent of Natural Resources
(DNR) for MAC to acquire 141
�890 �sss
Year
acres of the upper bluff area of
Fort Snelling state park neac' Hwy.
55 and Hiawatha Ave.
A MAC official assured the
SMAAC Newsletter in late May
that the land, if successfully
acquired, would be used only to
house a regional airline termuzal
and auto rental centers. Later he
told reporters the acquisition of the
Fort Snelling property would delay
or eliminate the nced for a$1.2
billion westside main passenger
ternunal in 20 years.
However, the parcel sits in a �
position that forms the easternmost
end of a hypothetical third parallel
runway, long known to be the
favored runway expansion site of
Northwest Airlines and Richfield.
The runway was dropped from the
MAC's 2010 expansion plan in
March. The law stipulates that no
such runway can be built "without
the affected city's approval."
Minneapolis city officials initially
reacted with a"bad faith" charge
by MAC and said they were
looking into the details. Still fresh
in their memory was the MAC's use
of the second parallel runway for
commercial jets in the mid-1970s
.�
after promising the public it would
be restricted to general aviation
aircraft.
Any transfer of the land as a result
of a three-way swap between the
DNR and the Bureau of Mines for
additional park land is expected to
require three to five years to
negotiate.
Four new directo�rs were elected to
the board of SMAAC at the annual
membership rneeting May 15 at
Mayflower Community Church.
The new board has since set
priorities for the next six months.
New board members are Greg
Bastien (Nokomis East), Margaret
Parsons (Hale), Dick Saunders
(Diamond Lake), and A1 Wellnitz
(Bloomington). Rcelected board
members are Dean Lindberg
(Nokomis East), Frank Ario
(Diamond Lake), Eileen Scully
(Hale), Charles Mamer (Nokomis)
aad.Neil Clark (Kenny).
Officers elected for the coming year
are Sawnders , president; Lindberg,
vice'president; Mamer, secretary;
and Scully, treasurer.
Priorities established for the next
six months of 1996 by a new
s�trategic planning committee,
incorporating ideas suggested by
the breakout groups at the annual
meeting, include the following:
(1) Preparing and submitting
members' ideas for new noise
mitigation measures to the MAC's
new noise mitigation cornmittce and
monitoring the process of
deliberations with the mayors of the
eight most affected communities;

(2) Creating stconger bonds with
south Minneapolis neighborhood
organizations concerned about
long-term prospects for noise
resolution;
(3) Fighting any efforts by the
MAC to acquire Fort Snelling land
that might be utiliz.ed in time for a
third parallel tunway;
(4) Expanding SMAAC
membership through a new
marketing flyer, expanded quarterly
newsletter and neighborhood
summer festival participation;
(5) Establishing clearer lines of
responsibility between the board
and SMAAC committces, with
agrced-upon goals and budgets for
each a.rea of activity.
Any SMAAC member with a few
hours to spare is encouraged to
participate in this exciting new
round of summer-fall programs.
Particularly needed are your skills
in cAalition-building, legislative
relations, media relations, research,
publications, graphic design, fund-
raising, membership expanston or
legal matters. Please call Saunders
at 861-1061.
SMAAC and at least one
neighborhood organization, Hale-
Page-Diamond Lake Community
Organizarion, have urged the MAC
to update -- and expand, if
necessary -- the airport disaster
management plan.
Not clear in the present plan, the
groups said, are the following seven
issues:
(1) The frequency of evaluation
of mutual assistance agreements
with the communities sunounding
the airport;
(2) The plan of action in the event
of an off-airpart disaster in a
rural setting;
(3) The plan of action in the event
of an off-airport disaster in a
highly populateci urban setting,
involving, for exainple, a s mall,
office buildings, school, church,
or densely populated residential
area;
(4) The plan for handling in
excess of 500 casualties,
including the interface with
National Disaster Medical
Systecns (NDMS). (Recent
changes in health-care delivery
systems have altered response
potential),
(5) The specifics of responses to
multiple types of disasters,
including hazardous chemicals,
biological materials, radioactive .-
materials and epidemics;
(6) Plans for crisis intervention
involving individuaLs and whole
communities;
(7) Plans for longer-term grief
counseling and post-traumatic
stress disorder management.
A review meeting with MAC
officials for a status report is
planned in the near future.
It was also urged that Minneapolis
Mayor Sayles Belton take a
leadership role in follow up.

airplanes have rattled my windows

` _ � A neighborhood organization has
`-' asked the MAC and the City of
Minnea}�olis to spearhead a study
of tbe impact of chronic noise on
�uman health, as Part of �e state's
decision to keep MSP m a
metropolitan area.
Baseline medical research studies
should be conducted parti�u h sical
persons vcrith the following p Y
conditions: s�tress, hypertension,
sleep distw'bances, sleep deficits,
hearing loss and cardiovascular
disease.
Long-term effects of noise on
children living under intense noise
levels and the effects of chemical
pollution (from released jex fuet and
engine emissions) should also be
investigated, in light of an
anticipated 100 million flights at
MSP in the next 20 years.
This proposal came from a study

MII�'vUTES :.��::e��....�....u.�u�...�w.._�_
JtJLY 16, 1996
The Northern Dakota. County Airports Relations Coalition meeting was called to order at
7:30 a.m. by Sunfish Lake City Ad.ministrator Glenda Spiotta. in the Fireside Room at St.
Anne's Episcopal Church, Sunfish Lake, MN. The following representa.tives were present:
Sunfish Lake Mayor Frank Tiffany; Eagar: Jon Hohenstein; P✓�;;ndo�,. Heights: Scott Beaty,
Kevin Batchelder. Inver Grove Heights and Mendota were no�t represented.
AGENDA APPROVAL
The Agenda was approved by consensus.
MITtIJTES
On a motion by Jon Hohenstein, seconded by Scott Beaty, the June 18, 1996 Min.utes were
approved as distributed.
DISCUSSION OF NOISE ABATEMENT DEPARTURE PROFILES
The Coalition discussed the previous MASAC action on June 25, 1996 at which time a
decision on NADP was postponed at the recommendation of Mendota. Heights. Kevin
Batchelder and Jon Hohenstein reported on their discovery of flawed population da.ta being
used in the analysis of NADP impacts and the cities' request for HNTB consultants to
incorporate corrected information prior to adoption of a NADP. Kevin Batchelder stated that
'�.- he has provided new data/maps to MASAC staff and als� indii;at�d th�re would be a
purchase of pazcel specific da.ta. from Dakota County.
There was discussion of the Coalition's preference for a NADP trial period instead of
selecting a permanent profile. One impact will be the conversion to a Stage 3 fleet mix by
the yeaz 2000 and the fact that noise contours may change with new procedures. It appeazs
now that MAC staff opposes a trial NADP period.
There continued general discussion of the significant differences between the Close-In and
Distan.t depariure profiles with reference to the� summary of same in the MASAC Opera.tions
Minutes of May 24, 1996. Kevin. Batchelder advised that Mendota Heights city -
representa.tives recently toured their noise impacted neighborhoods to gain. field knowledge
of the altitude/runway/noise decibel relationships. It was understood that at 3- 10 miles the
Distant departure profile may have less sound impacts dependent upon the altitudes.

DISCUSSION OF AIRPORT NOISE MITIGATION PLAN
Mayor Tiffany initiated discussion of the Mitigation Plan' status and probable effectiveness.
Jon Hohenstein noted that this effort is different in that its emphasis is for future operations
�lanning a.�-�d because of t�'�e level af �a.rticipation of elected officials at the ta.ble. Results
from the Mitigation Plan wi11 be forwarded to MAC and then to the State Advisory Body for
pot�ntiallegislative development. There was consensus that the State is obligated to fund
some noise mitigation solutions; speculation followed whether tianding would result. Mayor
Tiffany commented on his conversation recently with Dakota County Administrator Brandt
Richardson regarding the Couniy's role in this matter. The Coalition will have to develop
some appropriate actions/support to request of the County.
CONTINUED DISCUSSION OF NADP
C�
It was a consensus to support a trial test period of the selected NADP, recognizing that not a11
Coalition cities support the same position on Close-In v. Distant deparlure profiles.
(.
CONTINUED DISCUSSION OF AIRPORT NOISE MITIGATION PLAN
'` Jon Hohenstein led the discussion of wha.t the Coalition could reque.st or expect from Dakota.
County: advocate for tools, support broader mitigation geographic area, lobby efforts at
' MAC now and later at Legislature, designate county support staff (as done for the airport
expansion work).
The Coalition offered amendments to the draft letter prepared by Eagan and Mendota. Heights
staff, including: lead with the most impacted cities, instead of alphabetically, emphasize
expansion to boarder geograpiuc area, point out populous areas, add garagraph to note that
f.urther Coalition work will define joint agreement items to be provided to the Board.
Discussion followed whether all cities should send their own letter or to try and consolidate
signatures on one letter and the when to send the letter. Further discussion included
assessment of the amount of efforts necessazy to be effective with the County Boazd, and
general politics surrounding the MSP airport issues.

The Coalition reviewed the existing ANOMS system and concluded that originally cities had
been advised that the ANOMS system would be expandable, but it now appears that MASAC
staff consider it fixed in size. It was acknowledge that there wouid be benefit to have
ANOMS poles in areas adjacent to the 60 dnl contour as well as within it. More discussion
followed on thoughts of cost-sharing strategies to encourage an ANOMS expansion and
whether the County would involve itself with noise mitigation cost sharing efforts..
The following Action Plan was created to facilita.te addressing Dakota. County involvement in
noise mitigation plans: a. Send letter as amended from each individual city
b. Schedule a Forum with the Coalition communities, the County
Boazd and key staff inembers
c. Emphasize "shared" positions between Coalition members
Mayor Tiffany supported taking action steps prior to September, 1996 (the planned date when
the Noise Mitigation Plan is scheduled to be presented to the MAC) and Jon Hohenstein
encouraged the Coalition's strategy to focus on bringing the Counfy along in the evolution of
- noise mitigation plan implementa.tion. It was a consensus to send the cities' letters as soon as
Council's review and approve (azound the early part of August, 1996) and to request the
County to work with the Coalition cities to be ready to assist northern Dakota. County when
the Mitigation Plan is brought to the MAC.
Scott Beaty recommended the NDCARC role is to identify those topics upon which the cities
have agreement and to solicit County Boazd lobbying support at MA.0 and the legislature.
He noted that most differences occur in operations issues and suggested the Coalifiion focus
on noise mitigation. There was brief discussion on the pressures of increasing aircraft
volumes and air traffic controller competency.
Kevin Batchelder described a recent idea proposed by the Mendota Heights Mayor regarding
an doubling increase in the passenger facilities charge with the in�re��P funds to be used. for �
communities impacted with 50% earmarked for noise mitigation and 50% to cities' general
funds. It was briefly discussion whether this would impact the equity issue.
Discussion reiurned to when the Dakota County Board letter should be sent from the cities. It
was confirmed that each city would send it as soon as possible according to its own City
CounciUAdvisory Committee review and comment procedures. It was confirmed that
NDCARC Minutes
July 16, 1996
Page 4
Sunfish Lake, Mendota Heights and Eagan would bring the matter to their August 6, 1996
Council Sessions. Coalition cities' staff agreed ta meet to create a consensus list for a special
Coalition meeting to be'held July 30, 1996 at 7:30 am. at Eagan. Kevin Batchelder offered
to contact Inver Grove Heights to advise them of these developments and meeting date.
It was agreed to provide Dakota County with a notice of the Coalition's agreement list by
September 1, 1996.
OTHER BUSINESS
Kevin Batchelder distributed a draft developed with Jon Hohenstein expressing concerns
regarding "backsliding" with regard ta the decrease use of Sta�� T� ai..r�raft in recent months.
It was agreed to add "on behalf of NDCARC" and send as soon as p�ssible.

` - MSP Part 150 Residential Sound Insulation Program - Monthly Sta.tus Report as of 5-1-96
- Part I50 Sound Insularion Program Monitoring Data
Steve Vecchi reported that the monthly, average number of homeowners invited to participate in the Part
150 Sound Insulation Program aze 130. Out of the 130, approximately 12% are declining participation in
the program. The percentage varies from month-to-month.
1995 HOMEOWNER SURVEY RESULTS
Staff has made numerous pro��ram and construction technique impcovements tq the Sound Insulation
Program based on survey data. collected. MAC requests that all participatnng horneowners complete both
Pre and Post Part 1 SO Homeowner Questionnaire Surveys. The surveys contain questions relating to overall
homeowner satisfaction, as well as acoustical, contractor and consultant performance. This provides staff
with a yearly indicator of how the program is being perceived by the eligible horneowners.

Glen Orcutt, FAA, briefed members on the timetable and mediation process during this process. This
legislation has opened up the 60 DNL which would require updating the Part 150 Program, new contours
will be generated, and will add a significant number of houses to the Sound Insulation Program. PFCs will
'� ! have to be approved. Recommendations of the Mitigation Committee tivill impact the Part 150 Program.
INFORMATION ITEMS
Steve Vecchi reiterated that 2-weeks after the 12-19-95 PAC meeting, staff learned of an existing State of
Minnesota. law prohibiting projects utilizing certified genera] contractors (restricted bid) to exceed a total
cost of $25,000 per project. Only "open bid" projects are allowed to exceed $25,000. Unfortunately, items
passed by the PAC in reference to raising the Cap ta $30,000 and increasing a duplex structure to a$60,000
joint Cap, canno� be approyed.
The meeting was adjourned at 2:00 p.m.

say�s runwa� �
should be used
,�'or noise r°elie,�'
When the north-south runway
is built, an estimated three to iive
yeazs from now, that new runway
would accomplish the traffic arid
noise shift that Minneapolis is
seeking. Furthermore, the new
north-.south runway virould cross
the.end of Runway 4 22, taki�g 4-
22 out of regulaz use. With the
north-south runway approved,
the question now is� whether the
longer 4-22 should be used for
noise redistribution . until the
north-south runway is 6uilt.
The answer will be reached 6y
leaders of the communities
azound the airport; MAC officials
and representat�ves of Northwest
Airlines, who are meeting this
summer as the Noise Mitigation
Committee. The committee will
recommend to the MAC and the
Legislature what measures should
be taken to protect communities
from ill effects of the. airport's
expansion. '
::. The recommendations are ex-
pected in September and . the.
matter will come up. for discus-
sion at the committee's meeting
on Wednesday.

purchased in Bloomington and
1,440 homes or apartments
would have to be sound-proofed
in Bloomington and Richiield at a
cost of about $40 million:
Roughly 7,000 people in south
Richfield and north Bloomington
would be subjected to bother-
some noise levels if 4-22 were put
into everyday use, and. roughly
4,000 people in south Minneapo-
lis and north Richfield would get
some corresponding noise relief,
according to a MAC study. �The
shift would occur during limited,
off-peak hours when traffic is
light enough not to require using
airport's main runways.
Richffeld City. Manager Jim
Prosser does. not consider this a
fa.ir. trade. "What's going to hap-
pe�. in Richfield isn't just increas-
ing the [noise] activity, it's also
moving � the airport a half-mile
closer," Prosser said, because the
longer runway.: will, send planes
closer to the city. If.that happens,
he said, "we are going to have
people in south Richfield saying,.
`Do something about this.' They
will be wanting buyouts and insu-
lation." .
Jan Del Calzo, a former air-
ports commissioxier-and -now a
consultant to Minrieapolis on
noise issues, conceded that
soundproo�ng and � buyouts in
Richfield and Bloomington in
light of the potential short-term
use of 4-22 would pose problems
that will have to be discussed.
Nevertheless, she said, 4-22
should be used for noise redistri-
bution until the north=south run-
way is built. What people living
under flight tracks want is some
periods of the day without noise
— even short periods, she said.
� "People [in Minneapolis] go
crazy when�they see those �gures
showing 1 percent of the tiaf�c
over Highland Park arid 3 percent
over Bloomington. If they can just
raise that somewhat by 4-22 that
would be great," De1.Calzo said.

By the end of August, more
than 15 years after it was pro-
posed, the half-mile lengthening
of the crosswind runway at �the
Minneapolis-St. Paul Internation-
al Airport will be finished.
Despite the time it took to
build it, however, the concrete
strip will be ready for traffic be-
fore officials can agree on wheth-
er to use it to redistribute air
traffic — and noise.
Originally, the extension of
runway 4-22 was proposed for
two reasons: as an extra-long
xunway needed for the safe take-
off of heavily loaded flights and
as a backup' during.repair of the
airport's two busy parallel run-
ways.
More recently the proje�t has
been promoted as a way to shift
some tr�c and noise away from
south Minneapolis. Extending the
runway creates the potential to
redistribute flights around the
airport because the runway's new
length will ease its tra�c conflict
with other runways and allow it
to be used more &equently.
But last year, after the Metro-
politan Airports Commission
(MAC) approved the $11 million
extension for all three uses, Rich-
field and Bloomington objected
to the noise redistribution and
Richfield sueii to stop it. The two
suburbs cantend it would waste
money to :expose new homes to
noise and then have to spend
mi�lions to, soundproof them.
�To holii � off the lawsuit, the
MAC, the Metropolitan Councii,
Rich�eld, Bloomington and Min-
neapolis began court-monitored
negotiations, which resulted in a
coznpromise: Build the extension
while continuing to debate the
runway's ultiznate use.
As a result, the run�ay is being
extended, but without an accom-
panying taxiway that would allow
planes to line up for takeoff.
Without that taxiway, the runway
cannot be used to send up the
constant stream of traffic neces-
sary to shift noise.
The original plan was to iinish
negotiations over the runway's
future this spring. Biut the Legisla-
ture's decision in April to expand
the airport and 6uild a new
north-south runway cast the de-
bate on the future use of 4-22 in a
new light, said MAC attorney
Tom Anderson.

A panel working on a recoznmenda-
tion for mitigating the impact of the Min-
neapolis St. Paul Intemational Airport
reached one agreement Friday.
The Airport Mitigation Committee
won't be able to make its recominenda-
tion in time to meet the Legislature-im-
.' posed September deadline. .
Committee chairperson Steve
Cramer said the panel will need more
time.
Cramer concluded that the committee
should push back to October the dead-
line for its report to Metropolitan Air-
ports Commission.
"That way we can work our way
through this and get a good set of rec-
ommendations," Cramer said.
Besides, most elected officialr will be �
more focused on campaigning than on
the panel's recommendations, he said.
Last session, the Legislaiure directed
( �iC to produce a report on how best to
`.�irect noise mitigation efforts to reduce
the impact of airport noise on area resi-
dents.
In turn, M`AC appointed the mitiga-
tion, committee. The comm.ittee is com-
prised of representatives from MAC,
Northwest Airlines, the Metropolitan
Council and the mayors of the cities most
impacted by airplane noise.
Members ofthe mitigation committee
scheduled a public hearing for residents
to comment on the noise mitigation op-
tions the panel is discussing. The public
hearing will be 7 p.m, Aug. 29 at the
Thunderbird Hotel, 2201 E. 78th St. in
Bloomington. .
During their fourth meeting to date;
committee members coritinued to dis-
cuss their positions on several mitiga-
tion issues. Topics included expanding
the boundaries for noise insulation and
construction of a north-south runway for
noise redistribution.
� The crosswind Runway 422 is being
extended by 2,600 feet and could be used�
for noise redistribution after its. com-
pleted next znonth.
MAC liad planned to use 4-22 for
noise redistribution but was prevented
when the City of Richfield filed litiga-
tion. That suit charged that MAC's envi-
ronmental impact study of the runway
and its impacts was not adequate.
Through mediation, Richfield agreed
to stay the suit when MAC agreed to
build the extension without the taxi
ways needed to use 4-22 for noise redis-
tribution.
Committee members briefly dis-
cussed the use of the extended Runway
4-22 for noise r�edistribution, sending
more planes toward south Richfield and
north Bloomi.ngton and away from south.
Minneapolis and north Richfield.
Several stake-holders including rep-
resentatives fxom Minneapolis, Eagan
and MAC support the plan, while Bloom-
ington and Richfield oppose it.
To use the extended runway for noise
spreading, the take-off points must be
moved about a half-mile closer to resi-
dents in Bloomington and Richfield.
MAC estimates the cost of insulating
and acquiring noise-impacted homes in
south Richfield and Bloomington at $4�
million.
Committee members discussed the
timeline for constructing a north-soutb
runway along the west side of the airport
property. '
If a north-south runway is built, thE
4-22 runway could not be used for noise
spreading, making it only us,able for long
haul and international flights.
If the north-south is built in three
years, it maq not be necessary to insu-
late noise-impacted homes in Blooming-
ton and south Richfield while Runway 4-
22 is used to redistribute noise, Metro-
politan Airports Commissioner John
Himle said. '
But if the uorth-south runway takes
15 to 20 years to build, insulation likely
would be required in those areas most af-
fected by 4-22. .
Both Eagan and Richfield have voiced
opposition to tlie north-south runway.
�Himle asked the mayors of Eagan and
Richfield whether their communities
would attempt to delay the construction
of a north-�outh runway through litiga-
tion.
Eagan Mayor Thomas Egan said his
community is serious in its opposition
and had not ruled out the option of liti-
gation. . .
Richfield Mayor Martin Kirsch said
his community would reserve the right
to litigate depending on the outcome of
the environmental. impact statement
being prepared.
"We will always keep the option of 13t-
igation to protect our residents," Kirsch
said.
. Richfield of�cials are particularly
concemed with ground-level noise that
will be generated on the north-south
runway, he said.
If the panel votes to recommend the
north-south runway be built, Richfield
should determine what mitigation ef-
fbrts it needs to "soften the impact,"
Himle said.
A position statement on that topic is
being prepared and will be completed in
about a month, Kirsch said.
