LETTER OF RESPONSE TO
RESIDENT'S PETITION ON
PART 150 SOUND INSl1LATION
City Administrator Batchelder reviewed an August 9, 1996 letter sent by the
City to residents explaining the FAA Part 150 Sound Insulation Program.
Batchelder explained that there were several City residents present at a
recent MSP Mitigation public meeting who expressed their displeasure in not
being included within the sound insulation program. He noted that several
residents appeared resentFul that St. Thomas Academy and Visitation
Convent schools had been sound insulated and not their homes.
Batchelder stated that he is a little surprised that there are no residents
present at tonight's meeting to discuss this issue. He informed the
C
Commission that numerous calls have been received at the City Hall and
that some calls have been referred to the MAC. He stated that he intends
to include an article in the Heights Highlites explaining this program in
further detail.
Commissioner Olsen stated that the City should continue informing its
residents that we are doing what we can and that we advocate adding more
homes fio the program. Batchelder stated that the Mayor's Committee is in
the process of generating ideas to increase the funding process.
COUNCIL ACCEPTANCE OF
AIR NOISE PLAIV OF ACTION
City Administrator Batchelder informed the Commission that the City Council
was very receptive and acknowledged the hard work the Commission put
forth in updating the Air Noise Plan of Action. He noted that
Councilmember Smith suggested that the Commission start making contacts
about MAC/MASAC representation. Chair Beaty stated that he believes
residents are beginning to understand the airport noise issue. The
Commission discussed educating the community further by including
specific information on issues directly impacting Mendota Heights, such as,
Part 150 Sound Insulation. Batchelder informed the Commission that he
welcomes additional newsletters ideas from them. Commissianer Fitzer
suggested that the Noise Hotline Number be included in the newsletter.
Mayor Mertensotto arrived at 7:25 p.m.

Committee. He explained that on September 11, 1996, the MSP Mitigation
Committee held a four hour meeting to begin to bring recommendations on a
mitigation plan to conclusion.
Mayor Mertensotto informed the Commission that he has spoken with Nigel
Finney regarding the air noise contours. He discussed how the air noise
contours are formulated. Mertensotto stated that he informed Mr. Finney
that the Curley Addition receives a 90 decibels of air noise and is not a part
of the Ldn contour.
The Mayor stated that Mr. Finney is willing to work with the City to get
equitable noise distribution. He stated that Mr. Finney stated that another
runway needs to be constructed to achieve this goal. The Mayor stated
that while this sounds like a positive step forward for Mendota Heights, he
stated that it takes approximately four years to construct a new runway and
possibly longer if lawsuits are involved. The Mayor stated that he feels that
Mendota Heights can have immediate relief from air noise by pushing the
use of Runway 4-22. He stated that the construction of the north/south
runway needs to proceed immediately.
A discussion ensued regarding the City's of Eagan and Richfield concerns
for increased air noise with the construction of a north/south runway.
�` � Mayor Mertensotto informed the Commission of a recent meeting between
Mendota Heights and the Mayor of Minneapolis. He stated that the Mayor
of Minneapolis agrees with Mendota Heights' stand on equitable air noise
distribution and that the construction of a new north/south runway would
benefit both cities. He informed the Commission that the Mayor of
Minneapolis has suggested that the construction of fihe Runway 4-22
taxiway be reconsidered. He stated that the City of Eagan supports this
concept. Mayor Mertensotto stated that he believes that eventually
Northwest Airlines will support the construction of a new terminal. He
further stated that the City of Richfield suppor�s this concept.
The Commission discussed MAC's suppart in constructing the north/south
runway. He briefly discussed the process of approving the construcfiion
through the legislature.
The Mayor discussed the Draft Third Parallel Runways contract and stated
that the Cities of Minneapolis and Mendota Heig"hts will meet again to
discuss this further. The Commission discussed placing specific terms
within the contract such as breach of contract and renewal terms.

The Commission discussed the anticipated amount of runway use operations
by the year 2005. Mayor Mertensotto stated that the Mayor's committee is
. currently discussing recommendations on future configurations and runway
use at the airport.
Mayor IVlertensotto stated that an optimistic schedule in completing the
north/south runway is by the year 2002. He stated that the legislature
needs to act immediately.
The Commission discussed how the completion of Runway 4-22 extension
has given some relief to Mendota Heights. The Commission discussed
stacking capability and how a taxiway needs to be constructed which would
allow the runway to run more efficiently.
DISCUSS METROPOLITAIV COUNCIL'S
REVISIONS TO AVIATION GUIDE PLAN
AND NOISE ZONES
Mayor Mertensotto discussed the MSP Mitigation Committee and their
discussions on expanding the area of eligibility �for air noise mitigation
programs. The Commission discussed how changes in the noise policy
contours will affect the City's Noise Attenuation Ordinance and the fact that
the Ordinance wi11 have be revised to be consistent with any new noise
policy contours.
The Commission reviewed possible new boundaries and how the changes
will affect properties in the process of being .considered for development.
Administrator Batchelder stated that the City's Planning Commission may
need to �become involved in this process. He explained that the City needs
to update its comprehensive plan and that the air noise contours may need
to be included within this process.
Mayor Mertensotto was excused at 9:21 p.m.

to incorporate the area encompassed by the 2005 60 DNL;
that the 2Q05 6� DNL contour be 6ased an the most accurate projection
of traffic levels and use of appropriate ANOMS data;
4. that MbC and affected cammunities seek approva! from FAA to develop
neighbarhood and "natura! boundaries" that reflect current conditions at
the outer edge of the expanded contour to the maximum extent possibie;
5. the prioritization of the expanded program should be to initiate single-
family homes upon compietion of the curre�tly approved schedule, and
begin work gn the foliowing newly eligibie dweliingstbuildings, beginning
with the highest noise exposure levels, in accordance with a schedule
agreed upon with each affected city -- multitamily dwellings, nursing
homes, churches with regular weekday dayca�elnursery schaol types of
operations; ,�
6. that the program be funded by a combination of PFC revenues, airline
fees, internalty generated funds, and federal aid, gnrith estimated total and
annual costs as summarized below; to ihe extent that MAC cannot fund
this expanded program in a reasonable period of time, support from the
State of Minnesota should be sought. In no case should unreimburseci
financial impacts fall on affected residents or their local governments.

Dear Ms. Davis:
� ' � • •
This letter is ta. inquire about the progress regarding the Metropolitan Airports Commission's
(MAC) Corridor Refinement Finposal #1 for Non-Simultaneous Departure Conditions at the
M5P International Airport. This proposal was presented by MAC in January of 1996 for
review by your office. In 7une of 1996, in a telephone conversation with myself, you stated
that your office would have finished its work on this proposal within two months.
The 1Vletropolitan Airports Commission's (MAC) Corridor Refinement Proposal #1 is as
follows:
Whenever g�ossible, under non simultaaieous departure conditions:
* Aircraft depagting Runway 11R will be assigned a heading to maintain an
approximate ground track of 105 degrees (1VIj.
* Aircraft departing Runway i1L will be assigaed a heading to maintain a
ground track along the egtended. runway eenterline, appro�mately 1Y.8
degrces (1V�.
As proposed and approved by the MAC and FAA 1VYSP, Proposal #1 will allow departing
aircraft from Ruaway 11L aad Runway 11R to stay in the center of the Mendota HeightsJ
Eagan Corridor to the greatest extent possible during non-simultaneous, or off-peak, depariure
periods. This refinement will allow the Corridor to function as originally intended.
The Mendota. Heights City Council unaiwnously endorsed the Metropolitan AirPorts
Commission's (MAC) Comdor Refiaement Proposal #1 at its January 2, 1996 meeting arnd
believes that the FAA Great Lakes Region should conclude that a Fiading of No Significant
Impact (FONS� is warranted, based on the analysis aad environmental review by MAC and its
consultant, HNTB, that has beea performed to date. This analysis indicates that any defined
impacts are de minimis and are significantly below the FAA's standards for impacts that would
warrant further environmental review.

The City Council conti.nues to urge MAC and the FAA to move forward with proposal #1 for
�mediate implementation now that the necessar�, envimnmen� re�ews have been sa.tisfied.
7'he implementation of Prnposal. ,#1 repres�n� a logica1 culmination to all the efforts by the
various parties involved.
Pr�`,�osal #1 was originally sug,gested by �e �C in 1992 as a solution to an issue considered
by MAC's Blue Ribbon Task Force that explored the issue of operations in the p,agan Mendota.
Heights corridor. The City of Mendota Heights has been patient during many years af study
and review and looks foiwa�nd to the immedia,te implementation of Proposal #1.
The City of Mendota Heights is interested in the Pmgr��s of the Federal Aviati.on
Administrati.on to this date and we are requesting a,n update an whether your offiice has issued
a Finding on this proposal,
Sincerely,

Receipt of Communications
There were no invited guests.
There were no communications.
4. Technical Advisors Runwav Svstem Utilization Reaort and Complaint Summarv
John Foggia, MAC Technical Advisor, presented the Technical Advisor's Report.
Highlights of the. Technical Advisor's Report:
1. July 1996 recorded the highest number of operations ever at MSP. July 23, 1996 was a
record day with 1583 operations.
2. Complaints are up from the previous year. Most were from IVlinneapolis and North Richfield.
Seventy percent were departure complaints. Seventy-two percent of departures were over
North Richfield and Minneapolis. Night time jet departures showed 63% over Eagan/Mendota
Heights and 3?% over Minneapolis.
3. There are a number of reasons for the increase in operations over Minneapolis and
North Richfield. Runway 04-22 was closed all of July and the North parallel nanway had
taxiway closures. The effect was more arrivals and departures from and to the northwest. �,,
This is temporary. September brings the end of the summer operation seasonal push and
the construction season, with a retum to a more fully utilized RUS.
4. Nighttime jet operations are up 10%. A decrease in the fall is expected.
5. FAA controllers will be briefed again this fall on the MSP RUS.
6. Fleet mix was:
51 °� Stage I I �
49°lo Stage I11
5. ChicaQo Aimorts Visit Debriefing and DGPS update - John Foqgia
John Foggia passed out infoRnation and maps regarding Chicago's •aircraft noise contours. July
9th, John Foggia, MAC, and Traci Erickson, MAC, attended an AAAE Great Lakes Meeting in
Chicago. The day before the conference they met with the Chicago O'Hare and Midway Noise
Offices. Some of the significant poi�ts were:
�
• O'Hare has no staff in their noise o�ce. The o�ce is run by consultants.
• O'Hare is not engaged in a Part 150 Program at this time.
• Midway has 2 staff people in their noise offic.e.
• Midway has a densely packed residential area surrounding the airport. There are 1860
residential dwellings in the 80+ DN� level.
• New townhomes are being built directly off one of the runways at Midway.
• Midway only has funds to insulate homes in the 85 DNL contour.
John Foggia also updated the council on the Differential Global Positioning System (DGPS). He
believes MSP will be certified by December 1996.
Lance Staricha, Eagan, asked about the significant decrease in noise levels reported on the June
1996 RIVIT Noise Events maps. John Foggia explained that there was a problem with the phone
system that dials the RMTs each night. The Noise to Track CoRelation was found to be off by
103 seconds. He said the problem is fixed. A new map depicting the approved modeled 1996
Part 150 Sound insulation 65 DNL countour with monitored aircraft DN� numbers at each RMT
will be issued at the next meeti�g.
Chairman Johnson asked John about the New Noise Management Methodology letters. John
Foggia said about 25 letters have been mailed �ut.
6. Report of the MAC Commission meetina - Julv 1996
Highlights of the MAC Commission meeting:
1. Cindy Greene presented plaques to two MAC employees honoring them for their assistance
in bringing down a completely iced-over plane in February of 1995. It was the #1 flight assist in
(' j � the country for 1995.
2. The next commission meeting will be October 28th, one week past the nonnal.date.
3. The commission was briefed on all construction projects planned for the next 45 years.
MASAC was promised a briefing of these plans at the next meeting.
7. Persons Wishinq to Address the Council
Borvs Polec, Minneapolis, complained about the nighttime flights. He said his family is having
trouble sleeping. He said he wanted no operation's between 11p.m. and 6 a.m. He also said he
believed that the number of Stage II flights had increased, not decreased.
Keith Betz� Edina, asked at what decibel level you could no longer hold a conversation at three
feet apart. John Foggia explained that a noRnal conve�sation is at a 65 decibel level. When the
decibel level of outside noise becomes greater than this, it will begin to interfere with the
conversation. Eighty-five decibels is conside�ed the point where two people can no longer hold
the conversation. Mr. Betz also asked how one could become a membe� of the MASAC council.
Joseph �ee, Minneapolis, told him that, although Edina was not part of the council, he could talk
with the Chairman after the meeting to find out more information about membership for Edina.
His last question was why it cost $50,000 fo� an RMT. John Foggia explained that the cost was
not simply the equipment costs but the labor and other consultant services.
,. `
�ois Howard, Richfield, thanked MAC for their help in placing a portabie noise monitor at her
house. She explained `the results of the monitoring and reiterated he� position that the City of
Richfield should stop the lawsuit regarding the expansion of Runway 0422.
(� �
John Sieberz, Richfield, disputed the number of noise events recorded over his area. He said �
he couldn't reconcile the number of noise events �ois Howard had recorded and the number
recorded in the July Technical Advisor's Report. He also said he believed the value of his home
has dropped because of the noise. Jamie Verbrugge, Richfield, told Mr. Sieberz that the city did
a study on property values in Richfield and found that they are not going down but rather
increasing.
John Tower, Edina, asked whether pilots were flying at full power so that they can get away from
the airport and surrounding communities as soon as possible. Mark Salmen, Northwest Airlines,
explained that power setting and corresponding climb rate we�e a function of aircraft loading,
atmospheric conditions, runway length, etc.
8. Other Items Not on the Aaenda
Chair►nan Bob Johnson announced that there will be a public hearing of the Mitigation Committee
at the Thunderbird Hotel in Bloomington, August 29, 1996 at 7:00 p.m.
9. Adioumment
Chairman Johnson adjoumed the meeting at 9:30 p.m.

Airport Noise and Operations Monitoring System (.ANOMS)
23 September 1996
Continuing technical malfunctions wiih the ANOMS data acquisition system hampered accurate
da.ta. collection again this month. An abbreviated Technical Advisor's Report, sans ANOMS da.ta,
because of the .increased necessity for completeness and reproducibility of the published. data.
Beyond on-going monthly MASAC reporting requirements, interest in ANOMS capabilities
heightened in response to t.he proposed North/South Runway EIS process, a required FAA MAC
Airspace Study, and ANOMS input into new contours for Part 150, NADP, EIS, etc. To preclude
potentially recalling published ANOMS results, absolute confidence in ANOMS data must be
regained.
ANOMS reporting errors are a function of one or more of the following data. processing
components:
l. FAA Diskpack
2. Tracor Diskpack reader
3. Transfer PC at FAA
4. SYTOS ffie transfer protacol (N TP) software at FAA
5. Tracor operations security filter at FAA
6. 150 Mb 1/4" tape
7. 150 Mb tape drive at FAA
8. 150 Mb tape drive at ANSP
9. SYTOS software at ANSP
10. Transfer PC at ANSP
1 l. PC to ITNIX network file server (NFS) transfer of files
12. ITNIX to ANOMS importing scripts
The following chronology of ANOMS maintenance efforts chronicles the technical situation.
As indicated at last month's MASAC meeting, the tune sync between FAA's radax, ANOMS
computers, and the noise monitoring analyzers was off 103 seconds due to a long distance code
added to MAC office phone lines. This piqued our awareness of ANOMS accuracy issues, and
prompted an overall system stand-down. We looked. . carefully at noise-to-track matching and
noticed significant noise events without correlated tracks.
The number of operations per da.y was determined from raw radar files. Relative to FAA counts,
ANOMS operations counts were incorrect (missing operations). Traci Erickson, MAC ANSP
Supervisor, contacted Tracor (ATCT.radar diskpack reader and associated transfer peripherals), �
HMMH (ANOMS contractor), and FAA personnel, regarding the above discrepancies.
Dave Dunlop, Tracor, visited MSP in August and early September, but was unable to isolate
problems with the cliskpack, diskpack reader, or transfer PC at the FAA ATCT.
Van Lincoln (FAA) cleaned the 150 Mb tape drive at FAA and at ANSP offices. New 150 Mb
tapes are used for each download, i.e., tapes are not reused, eliminating the possibility of physical
tape corruption. Additionally, Van Lincoln (FAA) reported no changes in FAA radar data
acquisition have taken place. Although numerous FAA hardware changes are scheduled, none
have been implemented yet. For example, the antiquated Bernoulli diskpack drives will be
replaced with an. optical disk reader in the near future.
Corrupt data files continned to be imported into ANOMS. A� typical magnitude was ANOMS
registering 300 iunported operations per da.y versus 1300 - 1400 reported by FAA.
Phillip Meidel, HM1V�I, was enlisted to deternune the nature of the ANOMS condition. His initial
impression was that the "problem" resided in the ANOMS software importing scripts. Hugh
Ensing, HIvIMH, began scouring MSP ANOMS data. and discovered. "bugs" in the import script
used by ANOMS. HIVIMH repaired the scripts and believed. the import process was then
functioning normally.
Traci re-imported August flight tracks to determine whether an improvement in capturing all the
flight tracks for a particular day's file had occurred. No improved. perFormance was evident. �
A utality was then insialled on both an ANOMS iJNIX rnachi.ne and the ANSP Transfer PC to
determine if there was a loss in data. when transferring files from the PC to UNIX. The utility was .
run on several weeks of flight track data. No loss was noted..
HMIVIH then took a closer look at each day's files. Two discrepancies were noted; l.) files were
missing whole blocks of data, and 2.) a da.ta. line in the wrong format was being added into the
data stream. Traci unrnediately called Dave Dunlop, Tracor, to investigate the missing data, in the
files. An original data tape from the FAA was sent via overnight mail to TRACOR, along with
printouts of the missing data streams. He is currently working the problem and will advise
Wednesda.y, 25 September 1996.

The higher operatin� costs far a hub are only S- 7% than other
Charges that MAC encaurages and sugports this monopoly - Hamiel assured
MASAC that MAC encourages competition - SW Airlines example. If
charge is true, he would consider it unethical.
Airport Security

Questions
Jamie Verbru,gie - What if communities around airport object to Nort�►/South
zunway? Hamiel - It would not be acceptable to alter plans - the region must have the
additional capacity to suppart economic growth.
Question on landbankin�, Hamiel projects that MAC wiIi be revisiting the
question of whether the region needs a new air port by 2014. He discussed increased
capacity and said that each gate should be able to handle 12 to 14 turns per gate per day.

I. INSULATION
The Mitigation Committee recommends to the Metropolitan Airports Commission:
� 1. that the residential sound
by the 1996 DNL 65 con
schedule;
2.
3.
insulation program for fhe area encompassed
our be completed on the currently approved
that the program be expanded after completion of the current program
to incorporate the area encompassed by the 2005 60 DNL;
that the 2005 60 DN� contour be based on the most accurate projection
of traffic leveis and use of appropriate ANOMS data;
4. that MAC and affected communities seek approval from FAA to develop
neighborhood and "natural boundaries" that reflect current conditions at
the outer edge of the expanded contour to the maximum extent possibie;
5. the prioritization of the expanded program should� be ta initiate single-
family homes upon completton of the currently approved schedule, and
begin work on the foilowing newly eligible dweilings/buildings, beginning
with the highest noise exposure levels, an accordance with a schedule
agreed upon with each affected city -- multifamily dwellings, nursing
homes, churches with regular weekday daycare/nursery school types of
operations;
6. that the program be funded by a combination of PFC revenues, airline
fees, internally generated funds, and federal aid, with estimated total and
annual costs as summarized below; to the extent that� MAC cannot fund
this expanded program in a reasonable period of time, support from the
State of Minnesota should be sought. In no case should unreimbursed
financial impacts fall on affected residents or their local governments.
7. that the Metropolitan Airports Commission commit to funding its
community based noise abatement program on an accelerated basis
beyond its current level of 525.5 million annually;
�
C
�
8, that the Commission evaluate the airport noise env.ironment 18 months
� prior to the estimated compietion of the expanded program. If conditions
�'! warrant, a modified sound insulation package should be offered to eligibie
dweilings/buildings within the 54 DNL contour which achieves at least
� a 3-5 db interior noise level reduction;
9. that MAC develop noise impact models which reflect the impact of
ground level noise on residentiai properties. Mitigation for low frequency
noise should be developed after consultation with independent noise
mitigation experts.
II. COMMUNITY STABI�IZATION
The Mitigation Committee recommends to the Metropolitan Airports Commission that
it participate with affected communities in preparing a package of community
stabilization measures to be submitted to the Minnesota Legisiature. Community
stabilization measures considered should include, but not be limited to, the measures
described in the Metropolitan Councii-MAC Community Protection Report. The
measures include purchase and property value guarantees and housing replacement
to compiement the tax credit and revitalization area legislation adopted in 1996.
A Working Group should be convened inciuding representatives from MAC, Met
Council, Northwest Airlines, affected communities and legislative staff. The Working �
Group should identifya programdesign, fundingoptions, administrative responsibilities
and eligibility area. The final legislative recommendation should be presented to MAC
and other interested parties for endorsement and inclusion in 1997 legislative
programs.
C
��.
� •-•' •' � •
The Mitigation Committee recommends to the Metropolitan Airports Commission that
the following be incorporated and evaluated in a Part 150 update:
1. Take action, as required by the 1996 Legisiature, to prohibit use of Stage
2 aircraft after December 31, 1999. .
2. Modify the night hours to 10:30 p.m. - 6:00 a.m. and limit activity
during these hour.s to Stage 3 aircraft.
3. Develop a departure procedure for Runway 22 to direct aircraft over
areas of commercial development and the Minnesota River Valiey.
4. Seek cooperation from FAA to implement departure procedures as
appropriate at each runway end.
5. Evaluate departure procedures in the Eagan-Mendota Heights corridor.
6. Work within the aviation industry to encourage , further reductions in
aircraft noise levels.
7. Negotiate the Stage 2 prohibition, noise abatement procedures, and
expansion of night hours .as provisions of airline lease renewals,
incorporating appropriate penalties for non-compliance.
8. The MAC noise monitoring system monitors should be increased in
number to provide more coverage of actual impacts in the airport vicinity.
In particular, areas affected by the north-south runway and parallel
runways should have additional microphone locations to monitor
continued and growing volumes of air traffic as the airport expands. This
system should be used to corroborate the accuracy of the modelled
contours for noise program eligibility.

IV. RUNWAY USE
The Mitigation Committee recommends to the MAC the following:
1. Compietion of the environmentai process and construction of the North-
South Runway shouid be expedited and compieted as soon as possible.
Progress should measur�d against this schedule:.
a. commence construction -- 1998;
b. compiete construction, open runway -- 2003
2. In the interim, Ru�way� 4/22 should be used for noise mitigation
purposes. This requires the following: . �
a. construction of an associated taxiway;
b. sound insulation at the end of Runway 4/22 only for those
dweilings eligible for the expanded insulation program which are
in the 2005 60 DNL . ..
c. Insulation of these homes should be integrated into completion of �
the currently approved insulation program, starting as soon as the
interim use of Runway 4/22 starts. The sound insulation
commitment associated with interim use of Runway 4/22 should
be reevaluated if canstruction cannot be commenced by 1998 and
the runway cannot be opened by 2003.
