Chair Beaty suggested that staff draft a thank you letter to Councilrnember {
Smith expressing the Commission's gratitude for her role in serving the City
of Mendota Heights on the MASAC Board. The entire Commission concurred
with this suggestion. Batchelder stated that he would draft the letter.
•�.
Ground Noise Studv
Administrator Batchelder explained that the Commission had discussed this
issue at their October meeting. `He stated that fihe Commission was of the
consensus that the City pursue all efforts in supporting the control of ground
noise. He stated that the Commission acknowledged that ground noise is a
factor in contributing to a noisy environment and that MASAC should help
mitigate noise whenever p'ossible. He informed the Commission that MASAC
intends to include ground noise control on their 1999 work plan goals.
Batchelder informed the Commission that the City of Richfield is unhappy
that the Ground Noise Study did not include their low frequency noise
concern. Batchelder stated that the City of Richfield may be positioning to
delay the construction of the new third parallel runway. He stated that this
would concern Mendota Heights and that he informed the MASAC Op
Committee that delaying the construction of the third parallel runway creates �
a dis-benefit to the City of Mendota Heights.
Regarding a question from the Commission, Batchelder explained that the
City of Richfield has opposed the use ofi Runway 4-22. He explained that
they have filed notice intending to sue and that the lawsuit was placed on
hold. He stated that Richfield feels if the crosswind runway is used.20
percent of the time, then $40 million is needed to soundproof homes that
will be impacted. He stated that the crosswind runway is not being utilized
as it should be. He stated that the City of Richfield's �irport policy is driven
by economic redevelopment needs. Commissioner Roszak inquired if a copy ,
of the settlement could be obtained. Batchelder responded that he would
attempt to obtain any settlement documents from MAC.
In response to a question from Commissioner Des Roches; Administrator
Batcheldzr explained that low frequency ground noise is best measured using
the C Weighted Noise Scale.
Regarding the existing ground noise pad, it was noted that there are blast
shields surrounding the area :and that there are no sound mitigation qualities
to these shields.

NOVEMBER 92, 7998 - AIRPORT RELAT/ONS COMM/SS/ON MINUTES Z
Batcheider informed the Commission that MASAC has received word that
{ Northwest Airlines may have their own noise run up pad and that MASAC
has requested additional information on this.
Runway 17-35 FEIS
Administrator Batchelder explained that the Environmental Quality Board's
review of this EIS has been delayed a month because the City of Richfield
feels that the MAC did not adequately address the low frequency noise
concerns. He stated that without the Environmental Quality Board's "stamp
of approval", the new runway construction will not begin.
Chair Beaty inquired ifi MASAC can push the MAC to study the low
frequency noise concerns..., He suggested that he would like to see their
comments on low frequency noise using the C Weighted Scale. He inquired
if the Ldn Contours w�Pe generated using the A Weighted Scale.
Administrator Batchelder responded yes. Beaty stated that he is interested in
seeing these contours generated using the C Weighted Scale. Commissioner
Roszak inquired if this suggestion could slow down the process of .
construction the new runway. Batchelder responded that it would probably
take a sometime to complete the study and more time to review the results.
It was suggested that the FAA could research this suggestion instead of the
) MAC. Chair Beaty agreed and stated that he does not want to slow down
" the new runway construction process.
Crossing Procedure
Administrator Batchelder informed the Commission that in response to the
Crossing Procedure Study the FAA has recently taken a proactive role in
training their controllers on when to implement the crossing procedure. He
informed the Gommission that the FAA Control Tower Supervisor recently
appeared at a MASAC meeting where he indicated that the MAC and FAA
are willing to work towards better compliance issues on the use of the ,
crossing procedure during single controller time periods.
Chair Beaty stated that Stage 3 mandatory compliance is one year away and
that Northwest Airlines has indicated they are close to 70 percent Stage 3
operations. He stated that the ANOMS report still indicates that Northwest
is in the low to mid 60 percentile Stage 3 compliance.

- • The North/South runway will not be used for departures to the north and arrivals to
the south except under ]imited circumstances.
� The new runway will be operated to maximize tvSinneapolis-St. Paul International
Airport's (MSP) capacit}' «'hile reducing noise in the City of ��linneapolis and
equitably distributina noise throu�hout all communities.
� The City of Minneapolis aQre�s to suppor ihe Nor�h/South Runway.
e If MAC acquires the Bureau of i1��ines property north of the airport, it would arant a

Minneapolis Agreement
Pa�e two
In 1996, the Minnesota Legislature concluded a Dual Track Airport Plannino Process
which studied alternatives for expansion at i�inneapolis-St. Paul Inter�ational Airport and
options for building a new airport to accommodate air travel needs throuah the year ?010. The
le�islature mandated that Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport be expanded at its present
site, and that a fourth runway be developed to meet capacity demands.
The Legislature also required that the MAC enter into contracts ��ith communities that
would be affected by a third parallel rum�ray, specifyina that that IviAC would not construct such
a runway without the approval of the af"�zected communities.
In June 1998, the Commission approved a tentative aQreement with the City of
Minneapolis. �
If the Minnesota Environmental Quality Board approves the Final Environmental Impact
Statement on Wednesday, November 18, 1998, construction on the new runway could beain
immediately with completion by 2003.

DEVELOPMENT PLA.� FOR MTNNEAPOLIS-ST. PAUL Il'vTTERNATIONAL
AIRPORT RECEIVES APPROVAL FROM
MIlYNESOTA ENVIl20NMENTAL QUALITY BOARD
The Metropolitan Airports Commission (MAC) today received a Determination of
Adequacy from the Iviinnesota Environmental Quality Board (EQB) for the Final Environmental
Impact Statement (FEIS) in the Dual Track Airport Planning Process for Minneapolis-St. Paul
International Airpart (MSP).
The decision will allow MAC to build a new North-South Runway and make other
_ airport improvements. It concludes a nine-year federal and state environmental review process.
i ) The Federal A�viation Administration issued a Record of Decision on the FEIS on September 23,
�� 1998, the last step in the federal environmental review process.
The new 8,000-foot runway is expected to add approximately 2� percent additional
capacity for the airport, reducing conQestion in the national air space system and reducing delays
for travelers. The new runway will run almost parallel to Cedar Avenue in a north-south
direction. Aircraft will depart..to or amve from the south. The runway is expected to be
operational in 2003.
"We are very pleased that both the FA1A and the state environmental reviews have been
concluded so that we can begin construction of ttiis mucn ne�ded runway," said JeffHamiel,
executive director of MAC. "This has been an exhaustive study of the impact of expansion on
the environment and our neighbors."
In 1996, the Minnesota Le�islature concluded a Dual Track Airport Planning Process
which evaluated the alternatives of expandina at 1ltinneapolis-St. Paul International Airport's
present site or building a new airpot. The leai�lature determined that expansion at Minneapolis-
St. Paul would meet the demands and arow-th of air � ravel throuah the year 2020. In 1997, 30.2
million passengers traveled throuah ;�SSP: By tne year 3010, �L�C expects more than 40 million
passengers annually. y `

2. Approval of Minutes �
. iii:
The minutes of the September 22, 1998 meeting were approved as distrib�rted.
3. Introduction of invited guests
Receipt of Communications �,.
Cindy Greene, FAA, introduced`Keith Thompson as the new MSP Tower Manager. Ms. Greene said Mr.
Thompson has had previous experience in Minnesota at MSP and Flying Cloud and has most recently been
working in Orlando. �
., The following communications.«�ere receiveci:
A letter from the City of St. Paul «�as received desi�nating John Halla as the new St. Paul representative to
; MASAC. Chairman Johnson asked Mr. Halla to introduce himself. Mr. Halla said he was a member of ,� �
�__, � the Macalester/Groveland district council and its Airport Noise Committee. He said the committee's �= ,
principal concerns are the long-haui aircraft overflights, the early morning ground noise, and night flights.
A letter from Joe Little, liaison to lnver Grove Heights' Aircrafr Noise Abatement Commission, was
received on the behalf of an IGH resident who is requesting that a noise monitor be placeri at his home.
Chairman Johnson fonvarder] this request to the stafffor evaluation.
The City of Richfield presente� a resolution to the Chairman �i�hich asked that "mitigation measures be
developerl for protection against low frequency noise," that the remote monitoring sites be used to measure
Gweighted noise levels, as «�ell as A-«�eighted, and that the impacts of low frequency (ground) noise be
studietl and mitigated on the same level as high frequency (overflight) noise. Chairman Johnson said the
resolution would be addressed under aaenda item number 9. ,
4. Technica] Advisor's Rumvav Svstem Utilization Report and Comolaint Summarv
Rov Fuhrmann, Technical Advisor, did not brief the September 1998 Technical Advisor's Report in the
usual manner because of the lengthv aaenda but solicited questions about the report from members.
John Nelson, BIoomin?ton, asked ho«� many da��s of the North«�est Airline's pilot's strike �vere included in t
he report. Jennifer Sa�-re, N�i�, said 19 davs of operations in September �cere impacted.

5 . Informational Items
a) Revised Aircrai� Run-up Field Rule
Chairman Johnson reported that the Operations Conunittee had studied this issue e�ctensively and
anticipated that a vote could be taken at the meeting.
Roy Fuhrmann, Technical Advisor,:,briefed the members on the changes the Operations`Committee had
made to the existing Aircraft Enguie Run-up Field Rule. He said the field rule governs run-up
activities on the field and was lastaipdated in 1992. He said two changes were made to the field rule:
�-' I_;'
l. The start time for restricted run-up� hours was changed from 11:OQ p.m.'to 10:30 p.m. to reflect the
change in nighttime (quiet) hours at MSP.
2. Item number 4 was changed, which addresses the preferred heading far an aircraft during a run-up,
to more accurately reflect Eurrent conditions and the needs of the newer high-bypass engines.
Dawn Weitzel, Richfield, asked,if the field rule covered only run-ups in the run-up pad. Mr. Fuhrmann
said item number 4 addressed run-ups in the run-up pad, but included inforination about when a run-up
may be performed outside the pad. �
- Glenn Strand, Minneapolis, said he was concerned about making a decision on preferred aircraft
headir�gs for run-ups when no noise monitoring data exists for run-ups performed at MSP. He said he
was concerned with making decisions based on tests not-performed for the conditions at MSP.
Mr. Fuhrmann explainerl the testing that has been done included many different types of engines that
can be found on commercial aircraft, as ti��ell as on militar�� aircraft. He also noted that, although the
300° heading is preferred to contain a majority of the noise on airport property, this heading cannot be
dictated forall aircraft under all �i-ind conditions.
Mr. Fuhrrriann also reminded members that an average of 4.7 run-ups are performed each day �vith
�0% of those at idle po�ver. He said, even at full thrust, the monitoring study found that the noise
generated from a run-up during the dati• is masked by the noise associated tivith amval and departure
operations.
There was a question as to ���hether run-ups are allo���ed during the nighttime hours. I�1r. Fuhrmann
e�cplained currently that run-ups are prohibited beh��een 12 midnight and �:00 a.m. and are restricted,
between 11:00 p.m. and 12:00 a.m. and bet�veen �:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m. The changes to the field rule
call for a change in the restricted hours. He said what some people might perceive as a run-up is
usually noise that is associated ��i[h run�rati• operations.
Lance Staricha, Ea�an, asked if there is a field rule that co��ers "test cell" procedures and ti�hether or
not they can be .done. at night. He said. there had b�:,n a number�.of complaints from Eagan residents
regarding run-up noise. Mr. Fuhrmann said he «�as unaware of anv nighttime test cell activitv on the
field.
�
Dawn Weitzel, Richfield, askerl how air camers receive authorization for a run-up. Charles Van
Guilder, Burnsville, said he had ���orked at the airport as a mechanic for many years and explained the
C�
October 27, 1998
procedure for getting authorization for a run-up. He said pemiission to perform a run-up during the
restricted time period is obtained by MAC's Airside Operations departrnent. He said a mechanic is not
alloweti to simply take an aircraft out for a run-up without getting pernussion first. Mr. Fulu�nann
said pernussion is only granted during the shoulder hour time periods for specific, documented reasons,
such as an early scheduletl depar[ure or an emergency situation.
Glenn Strand, Minneapolis, said he would like more data to support the fact that nu�-ups aren't tal:u�g
place during prohibited tunes and tliat there are documented reasons for run-ups during the shoulder
hours. Mr. Fuhrmann noted some�di this information is included in the Ground Noise Monitoring
Technical Study, but thaf he cou�c� provide this type of information. He also reminded members that
the Operations Comrnittee has exan}ined the issue of the Aircraft Engine Run-up Field Rule
e,ctensively. : ` �: _
Tom Peterson, Eagan, commented that the field rule does not address the "24 hour operation of
Northwest A.irline's test cell." There was a brief discussion regarding the test cell. Mr. Fuhrmann said
there is no field rule to govern the use of it. Mark Salmen, NWA, said he would bring informatior�
regarding Northwest Airlin�'s test cell operations to the next Operations Committe:, meeting.
Mr. Salmen also reminded members that manufacturers of aircraft engines have specific requirements
for engine run-ups that are not based on theory.
~ Will Eginton, Inver Grove Heights, asked how run-up noise comparerl with noise generated from a
deparlure. Mr. Fuhmiarui referred members to the Ground Noise Monitoring Study. He said
_
, ,� cumulatively, noise from run-ups is not as loud as eparture operations. Yet, the noise level generated .;'�
_,, by a run-up and the noise level generated by a departure are similar in loudness when taken �=� �
individually.
Kristal Stokes, Richfield, described the nPe of noise she hears at her home rivo blocks west of Cedar
Avenue as a noise that starts and stops man}� times in a rou•. She said she assumed this type of noise
was caused by engine run-ups. Chuck Cum�, ALPA, s3id she mav be experiencing noise associated
w�th ta+ciing airplanes. He said ���hen a number of aircraft are lined up for departure, the pilots have to
use "breakaway thrust" to move fonti�ard in line. Charles VanGuilder, Burnsville, said a run-up could
be responsible for that hPe of noise, as «�ell, because sometiines each of the engines is run up
separately.
Rolf Middleton, St. Paul Area Chamber of Commerce, restated the Operations Committee's motion. �
He said he felt the motion K�as an improvement in reducing noise from run-ups by expanding the
restricted hours for a run-up.
John Nelson, Bloomington, encoura�c;d the public members to support the Operations Committee's
motion, noted the e;ttensiveness and len�th of time the Committee spent researching the issue, a.�d
assurerl members that the commirte� «�ould c�niinue to;esea�ch thE �ossibility of constructing a noise
attenuating run-up pen.
Lancz Staricha, Eaoan, said he thought Ehe field rule should indicate that it covers run-ups perFormed
by aircraft-mounted enoines to distinguish them from Northl��est Airlines' test cell operations.
October 27, 1998
ROLF MIDDLETON, ST. PAUL AR�A CH�PrIBER OF COMMERCE, MOTIONED AND
GLENN STRAND, MINNEAPOLIS, SECONDED, TO ACCEPT THE OPERATIONS
COMMITTEE'S DRAFT CHANGES TO MSP'S AIRCRAFT ENGINE RUN-UP FIELD
RULE AND THAT IT BE FORWARDED TO THE PLANNING AND E�IVIRONMENT
COMIIRITTEE FOR APPROVAL BY THE METRCIPOLITAN AIRPORTS COMMISSION.
b) Noise Abatement Departure Profiles
Roy Fuhrmann, Technical Advisor, � briefetl the Noise Abatement Departure Profile Trend Analvsis
Report, which the 4perations Committee had directeri staff to produce. Mr. Fuhrmann said the
objective of the analysis was" fo identify whether or not the close-in departure profile had been
implemented by the airlines :for depax-ttures off runways 30L aad 30R, as was directed bv the
Commission, through MASAC, this year. +
After briefly reviewing the history and the operational procedures for NADPs, Mr. Fuhrmann
displayed overheacls that explained how staff conducted the analysis: ��r (S� attachments.) Mr.
Fuhnna.nn said the analysis,sho.wed that the airlines have changed fo tlie close-in depariure profile for
departures off ninways 30L and 30R. He said this implementation resulteri in an average increase of
4Q0 feet in altitude. �
� Tom Peterson, Eagan, asked if there was a specific reason for choosing the four aircraf-t used in the
analysis. Mr. Fuhrmann said there were a number of reasons for choosing the four aircraft, such as (1)
they represent a majority of the aircraft operations at the airport, (2) they are the same aircraft used in
the initial NADP analysis, (3) they represent both Sta.ge II and Stage III aircraft and (4) there are too
many types of aircraft to analyze all of them.
Glenn Strand, Minneapolis, asked if a person on the ground would be able to perceive a decibel level
reduction due to the increase in altitude and how mnch that would be. Mr. Fuhrmann said John
Nelson, Bloomington, had asked that question at an Operations Committee meeting. He said staff was
unable to deternune a correlation beri�,�een decibel level reductions and the implementation of the close-
in NADP for rum��ays 30L and 30R. He said, in a controlled environment, one could calculate the
effect by having two identical aircraft fl}� the ri��o procedures and measuring the difFerence. Mr.
Fuhrmann said there might be a one decibel Ievel difference, but that the human ear can only perceive a
3 decibel level change or higher.
John Nelson, Bloomington, pointed out that the 400-foot increase in altitude was an average and did
not account for the aircraft that ���ere fl�ing at much hieher altitudes than the average, especially on the
straight-out depariures. He said he felt it was worth implementing ttie close-in NADP because it was a
step toward improvement, even if it «as difficult to quantif�� an improvement in same areas in noise
reduction on the ground.
Mr. Fuhrmann noted .that, althouah _The u�ark bein�_rlone.no«�.-(such..as the close-in NADP and the
straight-out depariure procedure) is incremental, the combined net effect is greater than the ef�rect of
one. He also noted that the FAA tower noticed the altitude differences right away «�ith the
implementation of the close-in procedure,
Joe Lee, Minneapolis, reported that h� had noticed a perceptible improvement in noise levels at his

home, which is on the southwest corner of Lake Calhoun.
A discussion ensued regarding identifying the benefits of analyzing a new proc�iure before spending a
large amount of time on it, how the FAA analyzes new procerlures before issuing Advisory Circulars,
the problems�with and costs of independently testing procedures, and -concerns about communicating
technical information to communitv members.
c) Crossing in the Corridor ��' �
4 ,
Chad Lec�ve, MAC, briefed the Crossin�:in the Comdor Report. He explained that the report was the
result of a request from the Cit� of Mend�ota Heights to examine if, when and how often the "crossing"
procetlure was being used in the corridor.
Mr. Leqve said the scope of the study, which was approved by the Operations Committee, consisted of
a 6-month data. sample from November 1997 through March 1998. T1�e study focused on the 11:00
p.m. to 6:00 a.m. time period�for.weekdays and for w�kends frorn 3:00 p.m. on Saturday to 1:00 p.m.
on Sunday. • _
Mr. Leqve said the report identifies when the crossing procedure actually occurred and assesseri the
.., operational feasibility variables. These variables includetl an assumption that during the nighttime
hours of 11 p.m. to 6 a.m. there would be only one local controller on duty. He said the FAA said this
was a reasonable assumption to make. For the weekend hours, staff worked with the FAA to identify
those times when there was only one local controller on duty.
� �) _ �
Mr. Leqve said, using ANOMS, it was possible to deternune that at least a two-minute time period
between departures, off of either one or rivo runways, was needed in order to perform the crossing
procedure. He noterl that the report also included a letter from the FAA that detailed the variables that
' were needed in order to perform the crossing procedure. He said the weather was also a factor and that
information on the weather during this time period was included.
Neil Clark, Minneapolis, asked whti• the crossing procedure �}�as beneficial. Mr. Leqve showed how the
crossing procedure ma�cimizes the use of the center of the industrial corridor.
I�1r. Leqve then brieferl the report's findings. The t�i•o major findings were that:
1. During the weekend hours there are not many opporttuiities to perform the crossing pracedure due �
to the prevalence of departures in the 0-2 and 2-� minute time frames.
2. During nighttime hours there is probabl�� room for improvement in the use of the procedure.
Mr. Leqve reported that Carl Rvd�,n of the FAA had invited himself and Roy Fulirmann, Technica]
Advisor, to a meeting at the control toi��er in order to -discuss the findings and to discuss how the
controllers could improve the rate at «�hich the crossin� pracedure is performed. Mr. Leqve said staff
p]anned to communicate with the totiver on a rewlar basis and that a follow up analysis would be
performed in 6 months. ,,
i�ir. Leqve then introduced Mr. Cari Rvdeen.
C
�
C,
October 27, 1998
Mr. Rvdeen introduced hunself as the Tower Operations Manager. He said after reviewing the report,
he decided the controllers could do a better job of performing the procedure. He then met with both the
supervisors and the controllers themselves to re-brief them on the proce�lure and to reiterate the
importance of perfornung the proceciure whenever possible. He said he felt the controllers weren't
disregarding the proceclure, but that they had not been adequately made arvare of the procerlure. He
said he thought there would be an irrunediate improvement.
7.
Mr. Rydeen also noted that aircraft �.re not given a heading of 10�° or 11 S° but that a ground track of
10�° and 118° is what is called for: He �aid maintaining a ground track is not an exact science because
of the wind variable and cautioned tlaere would not be 100% compliance, but expectect that the
�.i.
controllers would do better. , , _
Will Eginton, Inver Grove Heights, said he would like to see the corridor used in this manner more
often, if possible. Mr. Leqve said there were a number of interests that needed to be considered when
considering changes in carridor'procedures, noting that the FAA's number one priority is safety. Mr.
Eginton said that was why he hoped arivanced technology, such as GPS; could help in this endeavor.
Kevin Batchelder, Mendota Heights, reminded members that the Eagan and Mendota Hei�.hts Blue
Fvbbon Task Force in past years had many lengthy discussions regarding operations in the comdor.
„� He said the crossing procedure ��vas a recommendation that grew out of the 1992 Blue Ribbon Task
Force as something that could be done to benefit both communities. He said the procedure was finally
implemented about 5 years after the recommendation. He said Mendota Heights appreciated MAC
sta.ff's work and the FAA's attitude and response to the findings and ]ooked forward to working with
them. He said this is an example of how MASAC can function.
There was a discussion as to whether the crossing procedure can be performed at any other time of day.
Chad Leqve, MAC, said because non-simultaneous conditions do not occur very often during the day,
the ability of the FAA to perform the procedure during this time is severely hampered. He said the
report only looked at the time period when it �vas most operationally feasible.
October 9. 1998 Operations Committee Report - Mark Salmen
I�Sark Salmen, Operations Corruniitee Chairperson, briefed the council on the October 9'� Operations
Committee meeting. The following items were discusseri:
. A.ircraft Engine Run-up Field Rule
o The NADP Analysis
e The Crossing in the Comdor Report
o An RMT Site Update
a Correspondence
Roy Fuhrmann, ?echnica] Advisor, updated the counci] on the status of the ne«� RMT sites. He said staff
has visited the ri��o sites Minneapolis identified. He said both are at schools and staff was in the process oi
setting up meetings �v-ith city and school repre�sentatives to discuss the procedures for moving foni�ard. He
said Chad Leqve, N1AC, had also met �iith Inver Grove Heights and Eagan members to discuss the two
sites to the southeast. He also noterl that the Citv of Richfield has not yet identified a location for their
�
October 27, 1998
additional RM'T site.
Chairperson Salmen said the Operations Committee revieweri ri��o items of correspondenc�. The first r��as a
request from the City of Richfield regarding the adequacy of the Ground Noise Monitoring Technical
Study. He reportecl that the Committes discussed the City's request and deternuneci that the study had
fulfilled its objectives. The Committ� also reviewed a letter from the City of Richfield regarding
underkaking a low-frequency noise study and incorporating the C-weighted noise scale into the ANOMS
system. Cha.irperson Salmen said the Uperations Committ� would take it under consideration when
deterinining the work scape far the next y�sr.
v`
->,
The neact Operations Committee m�tirig is scheduled for Friday, November 13, � 1998 at 10:00 a.m. in the
North Star Conference Room of the West T��esaninal. -
Dawn Weitzel, Richfield, said she wa.s upset after rea.ding the minutes of the Operations Committee
meeting and had some concerns. She.said she thought a Richfield representative should have been pr�sent
for the discussion. She requested in the future that a Richfield representative be includerl in any Operations
Committee meeting that involved issues impacting Richfield. -• -- '
Ms. Weitzel said if a Richfield representative had b�n present, they could�have responderi to some of the
comments that were made.
Ms. Weitzel explained that the City of Richfield felt the issue of low-frequency noise unpacts should not be
ta.ken lightly and urged the council to take up the issue. �
) Chairperson Salmen said the issue �i�as not a R.ichfield issue only and that the purpose of the study in �:
� question was to report on the sources of ground noise at the airport and was not intenderi to be a ground
noise study. He also said that the committer felt it was improper for Richfield representatives to take a
study that wasn't yet out of committ� to an outside consultant. He also noterl that the dates of the
Operations Committee meetings are announced at each prior MASAC meeting and also noted in the
minutes. Chairman Salmen encouraged anyone u�th sug�estions about what should be studied over the next
year to bring them to the ne�t Operations Committee meeting.
Report of the MAC Commission Meeting
Chairman Johnson reported on the October 19, I998 Commission meeting. He said the Commission
discussed the follo�ring items:
1. ComrrLissioner Himle and Commissioner Cramer reported that the City of Richfield and the MAC were
continuing the process of negotiating a mitigation agr�ment.
2. A number of commissioners are becoming concerned w�th the costs associated with the Part 1�0
program and other noise mitigation prograrns. He noterl that the average cost of insulating a home h�s
increased to $32,000 in 1998 and is e:�pected to be approximately $38,000 neYt year.
3. The committee votetl to approve the planned extension of rumvav 04/22 and temporary extension of
12R despite Northwest Airlines' discontinuation of some of their Asian flights.
4. The committee also received a congress�onal update. It ��,�a.� reported that congress gave only a 6-
month e�-tension to the Airport Improvement Program (AIP) fund, �vhich provides funding for the Part
1�0 program. The Dept.:ofTransport3tion bil] also received a b-month e.�ctension.

City Cierk
With the City of Eagan's hiring.of Jamie Verbrugge as its Assistant City Administrator, I
will be stepping back from my consulting duties on behalf of the City in the area of
airport relations. As such, I have also forwarded to the City my resigriation as one of its
MASAC representatives. I would anticipate that you will receive notice of the
appointment of a replacement in the near future.
V+�I1ile I was not able to attend the October MASAC meetina nor will I be able to attend
the December one due to schedulina conflicts, I have noted the January meeting date on
m�� calendar as an opportunity to stop by and say good-bye. I am not placing any undue
si�nificance on that occasion, but I have worked with so many people in this area for so
long, that some closure is appropriate.
I would like to thank everyone involved in the airport issue for their efforts on behalf of
their various communities, agencies and companies in attempting to develop good
solutions in a very difficult issue area. I�vish you all the best of luck and I will see you in
January.
Sincerely,

S�,�CT: Environmental Impact�Statement Process Review:
Dt�TE: November 20, 1998
�
The issue of airport development is a multi-dimensional topic encompassing the functions of planning,
assessment, funding and agency coordination. A large part of airgort capital improvements is the
assessment of environmental consequences resulting from the development of an airport.
In July 1998, Glen Orcutt, FAA and Mark Ryan, MAC Planner, briefed the MASAC Operations
� Committee on the processes associated with the development of an Environmental Impact
Statement (EIS). The briefing covered the steps associated with the various agencies, the review
procedures and the information covered in the EIS.
At the December MASAC meeting, a presentation will be given by Glen Orcutt (FAA.Program
Manager) and Mark Ryan (MAC Airport Development) regarding the state and federal Environmental
Impact Statement process as it relates to airport development:

RIVIT SITE UPDATE
Roy Fuhrmann, Technical Advisor, updated members on the status of the additional RMT
sites.
RMT #25: This site is located in Eagan. The City' of Eagan has chosen a site very near the
center of the indicated area. Staff believes the location will work, but will need to continue
discussions with #he city.
,
�
RMT #26: This area is located in Eagan and Inver Grove Heights. The City of Inver Grove
Heights has submitted a letter to staff, which includes their three most preferred sites. Two �
of those sites are outside the identified location area. The third site is just slightly no�th of
the site chosen by the staff. Staff indicated this third site is acceptable, but the committee
would have to make the decision as to whether the other two sites would be acceptable.
Will Eginton, IGH, indicated that their first preference was to have it located north of the
current #21 site (outside the identified area), indicating this location would better capture
planes that were diverted to the north. He said it was possible this site is in Sunfish Lake
rather than in Inver Grove Heights. Mr. Eginton said he thought site #21 was a dead zone
that did not capture many flights. Kevin Batchelder, Mendota Heights, asked if it was
possible to move site #21 rather than to�add,another site. Roy Fuhrmann, Technical
Advisor, said it was probably possible: ;1ohr�� Nelson, Bloomington, said he didn't
necessarily concur that site #21 was a"dead zone" because it was sited to capture both
arrivals and departures. There was also discussion regarding horv highway noise might
affect the RMTs. Kevin Batchelder, Mendota Heights, noted that there were already a
number of RMT sites located near major highways. Mr. Fuhnnann reminded members that
the area of influence for each RMT is'larger than what is indicated by the identified area.
JOHN NELSON, BLOOMItVGTON, MOVED AND BOB JOHNSON, MBAA, SECONDED,
TO REQUEST MAC STAFF MEET WITH INVER GROVE HEIGHTS REPRESENTATIVES
TO FURTFIER DISCUSS THE POSITIONING OF RMT SITE #26. THE VOTE WAS
.UNANIMOUS. MOTION CARRIED.
RMT #27: This site is located in Minneapolis. Staff will be meeting with Steve Minn,
Minneapolis, the following Monday to discuss whether the RMT should be placed in Kenny ��
Park or at Anthony Middle School. J�
RMT #28: This area is located in Richfield. The City of Richfield has requested and
received the documentation associated with how the area fior the RMT site was chosen but
has not made a decision on a site.
RMT #29: This site is located in Minneapolis. The site chosen is at Ericksan Elementary
School. Mr. Fuhrmann said the site could pose some challenges for a ground level
installation and may have to be placed on top of a first floor section of the school. Staff has
met with Sandra Colvin Roy and is currently setting up a meeting with school officials to
discuss how to proceed.
Jamie Verbrugge, Eagan, said staff should expect to receive a request from the Eagan City
Council to place a temporary monitor west of RMT sites 16 and proposed site 25. He said
although the city believes site 25 is the best site for an additional RMT, this neighborhood
feels it would benefit from knowing what noise levels they are experiencing.
Ron Johnson, ALPA, asked if site #29 in 1Vlinneapolis (just north ofi the end of the north
parallel runway) would capture any flights. He said he thought the site was positioned such
that an aircraft could not fly that direction from the end of the runway. Roy Fuhrmann,
Technical Advisor, displayed overheads showing that there were indeed flights that went
E
�
almost straight north and that did not intersect an RMTs "area of influence" as depicted on
the overfiead.
CORRESPONDENCE
1. Inver Grove Heights - resident request for a temporary noise monitor to be piaced
at his home to measure noise levels.
Roy Fuhrmann, Technicai Advisor, said his staff has been in contact with the City of
Inver Grove Heights. He said the �staff has asked the city to have the resident contact
them in regards to the purpose-and objectives of his request. Mr. Fuhrmann said he
has not spoken to the resident at fhis time, but has a call into the city.
Will Eginton, Inver Grove Heights, said he knows who the resident is and knows why he
requested the monitor be placed at his home. He said the resident wants to know what
the noise level is at his home. - '
Roy Fuhrmann, Technical Advisor, said staff would continue to attempt to contact the
resident and would make aRangements to place a noise monitor at his home for a
couple �of days.
� 2. City of Rich�eld resolution #8635.
The Operations Committee discussed at length the City of Richfield's Resolution #8635,
;' '� which was presented at the October 27, 1998 MASAC meeting and forwarded to the
`��-% Operations Committee.
Chairperson Salmen introduced the item and said the resolution's four specific requests
are items currently being dealt with at a higher level within MAC. He said he felt it
would be inappropriate for MASAC to take any action at this time pending the outcome
of the negotiations between the City of Rich�eld and the MAC. He then opened the
item for discussion.
Kevin Batchelder, Mendota Heights, asked for a clarification and an update of the
negotiations.
Dick Saunders, Minneapolis, said he has been attending the negotiation sessions. He
said the outcome of the discussions is unsure at this point, but that beginning a low-
frequency noise study has been discussed as part of the plans. He said he felt MASAC
should be involved in the issue of low-frequency noise in some form or another.
Bob Johnson, MBAA, said based on the-most recerrt-cornespondence from the City of
Richfield to the Commission it appears the discussions are still unresolved. He said he
thought the process should be allowed to run its course, and that MASAC is not in a
position to take action at this time.
Kevin Batchelder, Mendota Heights, noted that one af the concems that has been
discussed within MASAC is the fact that MASAC has been bypassed in regards to �
some important noise issues in the past. He said this should be kept in mind as
MASAC continues involvement in the issue of low-frequency noise and at some point it
will need to be discussed at the MASAC level.
Jamie Verbrugge, Eagan, said MASAC should be concemed with all types of noise and
didn't believe monitoring for low-frequency noise needed to be attached to a low-
frequency noise study. He asked Roy Fuhrmann, Technical Advisor, if it the ANOMS
system could monitor low-frequency rloise.
4,
Roy Fuhrmann, Technical Advisor, said the resolution called for: the permanent
monitoring of both A and C weighted values. He said in order,to accomplish this, it
would take a complete rewriting of the ANOMS software and a restructuring of the
RMTs. He said he thought it would cost approximately $.5 to $1 million for a new
system that could integrate both. A and C weighted scales. He said this would be a
time-consuming process, but tt�ought �it would have to be tied to the North/South
Runway RPVIT project. He r�oted that, although there have been a couple of low-
frequency noise studies at other airports in the U.S., he is not aware ofany other airport
that mqnitors low-frequency noise on a regular basis. He said, as far as he knows,
there is no ANOMS software package available that monitors low-frequency noise.
John Nelson, Bloomington, distributed copies of three documents, which he asked be
made part of the official minutes of the meeting. The three documents are:
`:;
1. Pages 40 and 41 of the FAA's Record of Decision for the MSP Dual Track Airport (
Planning Process dated September 1998, which address the issue of low-frequency
noise.
2. Page 2 of the MSP Noise Mitiga#ion Committee's report - specifically item number 8.
3. A copy of an article that ran in the Bloomington Sun-Current Newspaper on
Wednesday, November 11, 1998 - MAC, Richfield prepare for potentia! runway
suit.
After reading pertinent portions of the FAA's Record of Decision, Mr. Nelson noted that:
1. The MAC has committed itself to "immediately address" the issue of low-frequency
noise by conducting comprehensive noise and vibration studies.
2. "If supported by the studies, MAC will prepare and implement a low frequency noise
mitigation program for the affected communities as part of an update to�the MSP
FAR Part 150 Noise Compatibility Plan."
Mr. Nelson then read item #8 of the MSP Noise Mitigation Committee's INSULATION
recommendations; which reads:
MAC should develop noise impact models which reflect the impact of
ground level noise on residential properties. Mitigation for low frequency
noise should be developed after consultation with independent noise
i�
mitigation experts.
The newspaper article, he said, couidn't be confirmed as compietely accurate, but he
thought it was important to share.
Mr. Nelson said considering comments he has heard from both Kurt Johnson of the
Metropolitan Council and from Commissioner Himle, he thought the negotiations have
reached an impasse, but that there have been sincere attempts by both parties to
reconvene discussions. �
�;
_�
Mr. Nelson then reviewed the four'suggestions for action to be taken by MASAC. He
noted that suggestion number one and; two were similar but that the f.irst suggestion is
mitigation measures be developed for Ibw frequency noise and the second is that those
measures be applied to residents who are affected by this type of noise.
He said the third suggestion, as staff has explained, poses some complex problems. He
said suggestion number four, vuhich asked that low frequency noise. be studied and
mitigated on the same level as high frequency noise, was agreeable.
Mr. Nel'son said he felt it was important to consider carefully the fact that a sitting
commissioner far both the MAC and the Met Council were in negotiations with the
� principal city. He said he feels MASAC is an advisory body to MAC and that MASAC
should take its direction from the MAC. Mr. Nelson said it would probably be more
damaging to MASAC to supersede the negotiations at this time.
(��'� Mr. Nelson suggested the Operations Committee direct staff to prepare a letter to the city
-- of Richfield that ale�ts the city of the committee's decision to hold the documents for
further review and discussion pending the outcome of the various venues in which this
matter is being discussed. He said he felt there was time to delay making a decision
because the new runway will not be completed for a number of years. He also said he
was hopeful that tt�e participants in the negotiations would be able to come to an
agreement without litigation. He also suggested that, as the Record of Decision
indicated, that the matter be incorporated into a FAR Part 150 Update.
James Prosser, City of Richfield City Manager, then addressed the committee.
Mr. Prosser enco�raged the committee �o act specifically and favorably to the
recommendations that are incorporated in the resolution. He then made the following
supporting comments:
. The issues Richfield is negotiating with the MAC are limited. He said, for instance,
that the City of Richfield is asking that the EIS address the low-frequency noise
impacts from �#he ct�rrent • runway on Richfield -its�lf, �and -not on Bloomington or
Minneapolis.
o Mr. Prosser suggested since MASP;�C is an advisory body to MAC, NIASAC should
�
advise the MAC that the issue of low frequency noise is an important issue and
should be addressed for all impacted communities. �
Mr. Prosser said he felt it was important to note that the City of Richfield feels the
MAC has shown an "absolute unwillingness" towards Richfield's efforts to have this
issue addressed for a number of years. He said in 1991 Richfield identified low
frequency noise as a concem as part of MAC's pianning for the future of MSP, but it
was not considered at that time. Mr. Prosser aiso noted that in 1996 the MSP Noise
Mitigation Committee recommended that low frequency noise impacts be measured
and mitigated, which was sent to �he legislature and was agreed to by MAC.
k.
Mr. Prosser said the resolution's �ecommendations/suggestions were reasonable
and practicable. He noted that in late 1997 Harris, Miller, Miller and Hanson (HMMH)
undertook work for MAC on the issue of low frequency noise at MSP. He said their
work included a map of the low frequency noise contours and recommendations for
impact criteria. He said the third step would have been to identify potential
measures for mitigating low f�equency noise impacts, which was notycompleted.
. Mr. �Prosser then displayed finro maps, produced by HMMH, that_ show the potentially
impacfed areas associated with the new runway (see attachment). The maps show
the 90(dBC) through 80 (dBC) contours , for both hush-kitted and manufactured
Stage III aircraft. �
� Mr. Prosser said negotiations between the MAC and Richfield only address the
impacts to Richfield for the new runway and reiterated that low-frequency noise is an ��
issue that affects other communities, as well. He said MASAC should address this
issue because it affects more than one community.
Mr. Prosser then answered questions from the committee members.
Dick Saunders, Minneapolis, asked how the City of Richfield requested and obtained the
documents associated with the HMMH study. Mr. Prosser said the city requested them
under the Govemment Data Privacy Act.
John Nelson, Bloomington, asked Mr. Prosser if he could make a suggestion as to how
the committee could proceed given the fact that if MASAC were to apply pressure to the
Commission, as he suggested, MASAC cor�ld be looked upon as "insubordinate." Mr.
Nelson said he was concerned with the timing of the proposal because of the ongoing
negotiations. Mr. Nelson specifically asked how Mr. Prosser viewed MASAC's
relationship with MAC.
Mr. Prosser said he feels MASAC is an advisory committee responsible for advising the
commission through "unfiltered" information and recommendations. He said MASAC
should let the Commission be concemed with the politics of the situation. He said he
didn't feel taking action on the resolution would interfere in the negotiations between the
city and MAC. He said adopting the resolution simply lets the Commission know how
MASAC views the issue of low frequency noise impacts.
�
John Nelson, Bloomington, then asked Mr. Prosser how he viewed the Commission's
'� pledge to "immediately address" low frequency noise issues included in the Record of
Decision. M�. Prosser said he had a problem with the credibility of the statement
because he feels if the Commission wanted to address the issue, they could have
continued the HMMH study. He said he doesn't feel there is an "organizational or
institutional" commitment to address the issue.
John Nelson, Bloomington, asked Mr. Prosser what he thought about the suggestion that
the issue be addressed in a FAR Part 150 Update. Mr. Prosser said he felt there were a
couple of problems with incorporating a low frequency mitigation plan into the Part 150
Update. Ne said a Part 150 Update would only take into consideration current
conditions, and that Part 150 funds will be spread even thinner if low frequency noise
mitigation measures are included in it. ' -
Mr. Prosser also said the MAC has stated that low frequency noise is not an impact that
needs to be mitigated. � �
John Nelson, Bloomington, a'ske'd if Mr. Prosser would support MASAC recommending to
the MAC that a low frequency noise study be incarporated into a Part 150 Update. Mr.
Prosser said the city wouldn't oppose that action, but prefers low frequency mitigation
measures be treated separately in order not #o have to compete for limited Part 150
� funds.
Bob Johnson, MBAA, said he didn't feel MASAC should be involved any more than it has
to at this point, considering the negotiations currently taking place betwesn the MAC and
�� _ � the City of Richfield. � � ,
Mr. Prosser said MASAC shouldn't "walk away" from the issue simply because it may
cause problems for MAC or for MASAC. He said he thought the MAC hadn't completed
the HMMH low frequency study because they knew it was going to pose a funding
problem.
Dick Keinz, MAC, reminded the committee members they had only heard the city's
interpretation and had not had the benefit of hearing from the Commission. He said only
the negotiators have all the information and advised them to proceed with caution on this
issue.
Roy Fuhrmann, Technical Advisor, reminded the committee that there are currently
resolutions from other cities that have been pushed into next year and that need to be
addressed. He said a number of issues have already been identified for the next year,
with some that could spill over into the following year. He also reminded committes
members that only one airport has beer� approved� by the FAA #o fund low frequency
mitigation measures. He said they received this funding through their Part 150 Study.
Kevin Batchelder, Mendota Heights, said, although MASAC could not ignore Richfield's
request and should be involved in thc issue at some point, he feels the timing is
0
inappropriate and urged caution. Chairperson Salmen agreed and reiterated that
MASAC would continue to be involved in the issue.
John Nelson, Bloomington, suggested staff draft a letter to the City of Richfield
acknowledging receipt of the resolution and outlining the committee's discussion, being
sure to mention that the committee was deferring action on their request rather than
rejecting it. Mr. Nelson also said he felt a Part 150 Update was the best vehicle for
pursuing a low frequency noise study. He said including it in a Part 150 Update would
allow for both an in depth study and for metrawide abatement measures. He also said
he felt he didn't have enough data at this time to take action on the resolution.
�
Mark Hinds, Richfield, encouraged the �committee members to support the resolution, but
if they did not take action, he asked tha�� staff begin researching how much it would cost
to ovefiaul the ANOMS system and to conduct a low frequency noise study at MSP.
Roy Fuhrmann, Technical Advisor, said what Mr. Hinds asked for would be time
consuming for MASAC and would require input from each community ..as to what they
would want from a new system. _
John Nelson, Bloomington, said that although Mr. Hinds' suggestion was reasonable, it
was pro6ably preliminary because it is unknown what the outcome of the negotiations
will be at this time and again urged caution.
BOB JOHNSON, MBAA, MOVED AND DICK KEINZ, MAC, SECONDED TO HOLD THE
RESOLUTION IN SUSPENSE, DEFERRING ACTION ON IT UNTIL SUCH TIME AS IS
APPROPRIATE AND TO SO NOTIFY TNE CITY OF RICHFIELD IN A �ETTER. THE
VOTE WAS UNANIMOUS. MOTION CARRIED.
Jamie Verbrugge, Eagan, asked what MASAC should do if the matter is litigated
between Richfield and the MAC. Chairperson Salmen said legal counsel would have to
be sought to determine the legal ramifications of MASAC taking action. John Nelson,
Bloomington, said he hoped the matter could be settled out of court, and that he would
more likely want to wait on taking action if the matter were litigated.
1999 GOALS AND OBJECTIVES DISCUSS/ON
Roy Fuhrmann, Technical Advisor, reviewed . the memo to the Operations Committee
regarding the work plan for 1999. He noted that items 10-14 are action items that staff
must complete during 1999. He said items 1-9 are items that have already been identified
as topics for consideration.
Chairperson Salmen then asked if committee members had additional items for
consideration.
Kevin Batchelde�, Mendota Heights, said he felt items 3 through 5 are especially important
to include in the work plan for 1999. He said, not discounting any other suggestion, the
nine items already identified were more than sufficient and would need to be prioritized
0
accordingly.
Dick Saunde�s, Minneapolis, said the Minneapolis members had taken a two-step approach
to identifying areas for consideration. He said they first prioritized the items outlined by staff
in the memo and then identified additional items.
The following are items the Minneapolis members identified for consideration:
2.
3.
4.
Q
6
7
8
Begin ground level/low frequency noise studies for all communities. This is Minneapolis'
highest priority. ;
Begin the process of a Part 150 Update, which is also a priority.
Discuss how noise level data from AT10MS can be incorporated into the Part 150
contour generation. �
Seek MASAC's support for a public health study to be conducted by the appropriate
state agency to research the long-term health effects of noise on humans, especially on
senior citizens and child�en. �
Implement the Noise Redistrifiution �Plan outlined in the 1996 Noise Mitigation
Recommendations.
Increase the credibility and value of the Noise Complaint and Information Line.
Review how information and how much information is distributed to MASAC members.
Produce a quarterly report for distribution to other bodies and to be made available to
the public.
Bob Johnson, MBAA, said he thought a review of the nighttime hours should be included in
the first quarter of 1999. Dick Saunders, Minneapolis, said there is popular support for this
�'' � initiative. He also reminded the members that the Twin Cities Airports Task Force has
�__ . asked that the nighttime time hours not be changed and that the original hours of 11 p.m. to
6 a.m. be �einstated.
Dick Saunders, Minneapolis, asked why investigating GPS for noise alleviation needed to
be addressed this coming year. Roy Fuhrmann, Technical Advisor, said it was important
because there is a very narrow time frame (18 months to 1 year) for decisions to be made
regarding how GPS technology will be instituted at airports. He said MASAC will have to
make some decisions this year if it wants to be involved in the final specifications. He
compared this opportunity to being asked to help develop the Noise Abatement Departure
Profiles (NADPs) when discussions about this issue were taking place over 8 years ago.
John Nelson, Bloomington, suggested the committee place the identified items into three
categories: action, research and evaluation. He said an action item is something that
advances or promotes noise abatement for either an affected community or for everyone.
An evaluation item is a review of an existing operational activity. And a research item is an
analysis of the potential feasibility of making an item an action item. Mr. Nelson then
categorized the 14 items �isted in the memo.
The committee then discussed and prioritized the items, focusing on solidifying the first
quarter's agenda. It was decided that the remainder of the agenda and additional items will
be discussed and finalized at the December`11, 1998 Operations Committee meeting. The
E
finalized �rst quarter agenda and remaining draft agenda will be presented at the December
1, 1998 MASAC meeting. �
John Nelson, Bloomington; said he thought the Operations Committee should be sure to
bring an action item to the fuil MASAC body at least once per quarter.
The next Operations Committee meeting is scheduled for December 11, 1998 at 10:00 a.m.
at the West Terminal North Star Room.
The meeting was adjoumed at 12:45 p.m;

RMT Update �
November 5, 1998
�
MAC staff has visited four potential. sites for additional RMT installations�scheduled for 1999. On
November 2, 1999, staff ineet with Councilwomen Sandra Colvin Roy, Minneapolis, to discuss the
Ericsson �Elementary School placement. Future meetings are being scheduled to work out additional
issues. A meeting with Councilman Steve Minn is also scheduled for November 16; 1999 to discuss
„ the Anthony Middle SchooUKinney Park location.
Two potential site locations to the southeast of the airport have been identified as well. Eagan city staff
_.
has selected a location just south of LeMay Lake in a park, and MAC staff was asked to identify the
( � location for site 26. At this time a location by Argenta Trail, in Inver Grove Heights, appears to best
'" suit the criteria set forth by the Operations Committee for RMT placement.
Staff will provide additional information, as well as detailed site maps at the November 13, 1998
meeting.

Dear Mr. Leqve:
Thank you for contacting us re�arding the site of the ac�aitional noise monitor for the
northern part of Inver Grove Heights. Our Aircraft Noise Abatement Comrnission met
to discuss potential sites for the monitor. Following a briefing by Will E;inton on the
discussions with Eagan, we reviewed our objectives �nd determined that the circle
center site you prefer does not fulfill our need to accurately monitor the overflights
using the 105 deb ee heading.
As vou know, we believe the "no fiv zone" south of the centerline extension of runway
1?R forces, by FAA reb lations, alI southeast flights from the north parallel runway 12L
to divert 15 deb ees. This puts hundreds of flights per c�ay on the exact same flight path
because no flight can be routed south of 105 deb ees. The e;cisting RMT sites do not
adequately monitor the noise from these constant overflights, nor does your favored
site.
The sites we prefer are: 1) 6350 �r�enta by the cellular phone tawer
?) 6a�0 South Robert Trail by the cellular phone tower.
3) 60th Street, west of Robert Street

November 5, 1998
At the October MASAC meeting� Joe Little, Inver Grove Heights ANAC Staff Liaison, submitted a
request by Mr. Fred Krueger to have MAC conduct noise monitoring at his residence. Mr. Krueger
� lives approximately 8.5 miles southeast of Runway 12R, just south of the centerline. Staff has spoken
to Mr. Little about Mr. Krueger's request and has asked Mr. Krueger to contact MAC staff to discuss
the purpose of the monitoring. As of this date, staff has not received a call from Mr. Krueger.
The closest ANOMS RMT to Mr. Krueger's residence is site 22, approximately 1.5 miles from his
address. Staff will attempt to contact Mr. Krueger before the operations meeting to gather additional
background to his request.

RESOLUTION REQUESTING 1'HE iil1ETROPOLITAiV AIRCRAFT
SOUND ABATEMENT COUNClL TO DEVELOP A NIITIGATION
STUDY FOR LOW FREQUENCY NOISE IMPACTS
�
WHEREAS, the Metropolitan Aircraft Sound Abatement Council (MASAC) was
formally incorporated in 1969 with the goal of reducing aircraft noise, as weil as
increasir�g public knowledge and awareness of the issue; and
WHEREAS, MASAC is responsibie for the study and evaluation of existing noise
abatement policies and the proposal �nd initiation of new programs, thus requiring that
all council members be well informed on a wide range of noise abatement procedures
and plans; and � ' ;< .
WHEREAS, the current levels of ground level noise (its major component being
low frequency noise) account for Qver half the complaints the City receives on a
monthly basis; and � � - ��
WHEREAS, Richfield has repeatedly requested that MASAC address impacts of
low frequency noise on communities; and
WHEREAS, studies have proven that construction of a new North-South Runway
located two blocks away from dense residential development will have a significant
adverse low frequency noise impact on Richfield; and �"��� �.
WHEREAS, this runway will be located closer to residential property than any
runway recently constructed in the United States; and
WHEREAS, several independent studies support the need for mitigation of low
frequency noise; and
WNEREAS, studies have demonstrated that low frequency noise produces
levels of annoyance which require mitigation; and
1NHEREAS, the Baltimoce-Washington International Airport has included
mitigation of moderate levels of low frequency noise impacts into its Sound Insulation
Program; and
WHEREAS, at high levels of impact low frequency noise cannot be mitigated
using noise insulation methods currently'utilized for protection against averflight noise.
NOInl, THEftEFORE, BE 11' RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of
Richfield, IVlinnesota, as foliows:
1. Mitigation measures be developed for protection against low frequency noise.
2. That residents are provided protection against impacts of low frequency (ground)
noise.
3. That the remote monitoring sites in neighboring communities measure C-
weighted, as well as A-weighted noise scales and are included with monthly
informational reports. a �
G, -
4. That low frequency (ground) noise impacfs are studied and mitigated on the
same level as high frequency (overtlight) noise. .

Al�;�ough no� le�ally required, the FA4 is induding this attachment, incluaing F_�..4
responses ta �hei.r co�ments, in order to update readezs on the status of the low
fre�uency noise considerations.
As noted above, the com�lete responses to the City oERichfield's concerns about low
,
frequency noise �e found in Attachment A.l, and are particularly addressed in General
(; Resporues 1 an : 2, as well as within spedfic responses to correspondence received from
- • RichEield in At�chments A.l and C. While the FAA and the MAC are not Iegal�y requirec�to
further inves��at� the matter of low frequency noise impacts, nor to provide for mitigation,
the M.AC has proposzd and con�uts to immediately address the issue.� Specifically, the
MAC is will.ing co canduct noise stud.ies and vibration measurements to identify the

Hig�,.,Forernsf Se�zsitiuiiy Analysis and Noise Impacts. As previously noted (Section I�II.A of this
ROD) the FEIS also inciudes a sensiti�ity analysis to disclose the potential noise impacts of the
M5P 2010 LTCP and the 2020 Con�ept Plan based on a higher range of aviation activity
forecasts, conducted at the request of the FAA. This analysis considered the noise effects that
,,
could occur f=om a forecast of hiaher ai�eraft operations in these two time frames, as described
in Section III.A of this ROD. Based upon the MAC High Forecast, no significant noise impacts
were found for the proposed action. The contours resulting from the 2005 base and 2005 hi�
forecast scenarias are reasonably,eguivalent for the DNL 65 contoui, with differences mostly
occurring in azeas to the south of-the airport. The 2020 DNL 6� contour is slightly smaller than
for the 2005 65 DNL contour.at these higher forecast levels. For rnore�information, see
Appendix H in the FIIS, including F aaure H-1 (various other noise contour maps are also
preser,tted within FIIS Appendix J). � -
� Noise Mitigation Plnn. In Apri11996, the Minnesota Lea lature directed the MA.0 to develop a
noise mitigation plan for the proposed action of a new north-$outh runway. In October of that
�` year, the MAC adopted the plan (FIIS Appendix B), which included elements regardino sound
insulation, community stabilizafion, aircraft operational requirements, and other matters
related to airport noise effects and improvement funding. IIements of this noise mitigation �� `;
program aze underway with the noise insulation program being the most evident measure in �`
eFfect. The noise mitigation plan is the means that will be used to mitigate noise From the
proposed project (for more information about the MACs ongoing and planned noise
mitib tion measures, see the discussion under "Noise Mitigaiion" in Section �I.C. of this
ROD—Project Background).
Parks and Recreation: Within the airport boundary, the Runway Protection Zones, and the
DNL 65+ noise contour, them are 10 parks and recreation areas. Bossen Field, Lake Nokomis,
L}iamond Lake and Todd Parks are located under the jurisdiction of the Minneapolis Park
Board and used for active and passive recreation. Taft Park and the Rich Acres Golf Course are
administered by the City of Richfield for active recreational activities, while the River Ridge
Playground is a small recreation area approximately one mile frorn MSP in the City of
Blaomington. Fort Snelling State Park is located on both sides of the Mississippi River and
portions of the area are adjacent to 1�iSP on the north and to the southwest. A nine-hole golf
course, which is a part of this park, lies within the existing DNL 65 noise contour. The
Mississippi National River and Rerreation Area, stretching along the River and including a
portion of the Minnesota River, is mostiy owned by other park agencies and the MDNR in
particular. The Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge (MVNWR) provides habitat for a
variety of wildlife and also provides wildlife rea�eation areas and environmental education

INSULATION
� 1. The residential sound insulation program for the area encompasse� by .the
1996 DNL 65 contour be completed on the currently approved schecule;
� 2. The prograrn be expanded after completion of the current prcoram to
incorporate the area encompassed by the 2005 60 DNL;
3. The 2005 60 DN� contour be based on the most accura`e projection oF
� tra�c levels and use of appropriate ANOMS data;
�. MAC and aft'ected cammunities seek approval from FAA to d�velop
� neighborhood and "natural boundaries" that reflect current conditions at the
outer edge of the,expanded contour to the maximum extent possible;
� 5. Prioritization of ttie expanded program should be �to initiate single-family

��. COMMUNITY STABILIZATIO�y
The Metropo.litan Airports Commission shou�ri participate with aFected communities
to identify and quantify any impacts the airpor-� may have on. declining property
values and/or other negative consequences an neighborhoods near the airport. To
the extent that negative cons�quence� can be .quantified, a Working Group should
prepare recommendations to �'v1AC For consideration by the Minnesota Legisiature.
Community stabilization meas�r�s considered should include, but not be limited to,
the measures described in the M'etropolitan Councii-MAC Comrnunity Protection
Report. The measures inci��de purchase and property value guarante�s and
housing repiacement to compl�ment fhe tax credit and revitalization area legis(ation
adopted in 1996.
A Work�ng Group should be convened including representatives from MAC, Met
Council, Northwest Airlines, aFected communities and legislative stan. Tne

� Nigel Finney has confirmed that next week is fine for the be�inning of the work at
MSP. An MAC employee will help with the tower. You should call Roy Furhman
( 612-�25-6326) to set things up. If you are unable to reach him directly, call Dick
I�einz (612=726-8134) and tell him your needs. Dick will pass the word on to Roy '�

who will take it further.
Attached are the proposal I sent to �igel and the worksheet that I used to build up
costs. The budget for the measureuients and analysis is $67,000.. Let's talk about
the pro�ram as soon as possible. NiGel will let me know.�"whether we will do

_ SUBIECT: Proposal Concerning MSp I,ow Frequency Noise
P9'7-20140 - - ;
Dear Nigel: �;
j As I anticipated in my memorandum of 9 Uctober 1997, we have prepared a proposal to
� consider potential impacts of low:fiequency noise at MSp, miII�ation of those impacts.and
potential noise impacts at Iocations on or near the extended centerline af the new runway,
such as the VTC properry. This letter presents the proposed scope of worl and estimateci
costs for the work This proposal takes the 9 October 1997 memorandum as its point of
departure and provides additional detail about the proposed approach. It addresses four sets
� of issues: (1) predicted levels Df low frequency noise in Richfieid due to construction and
usP of runway I7-35; (2) apprapriate impact criteria for low frequency noise; (3)
identification of potential measures to mitigate impacts of low fre�uency nozse; and (4)
potential noise impacts on properties on or near the extended centerline of runway 17-35,
such as the VTC property.
� TAS� DESCRIPTIONS
Tas�: l: Derernune Locations of Low Frequency Conrours at MSP —
For the reasons described in the 9 October 1997 memorandum, HI��I proposes to
develop contours of Iow frequency noise for runways at MSP. Th� contours will be based
on rneasurements of aircraft departing from runway 11R-29L. Ti�e measurements will be
of single-event levels at seven locaaons on or_near MSP. The proposed locations are
shown on the atzached figure taken from BBN report No. 819b. They are marked "1," "4,"
"A „"B,,, "C," and "D." Two new locations will be at distanc�s from the runway similar to
BBN sites 1 and 4. ' A" is betwe�n BBN locations I.and 4. `B" will be about as far to the
south of ti�e runway as BBN location 4 is to the north of it "C" and "D•° v�,ill b� �out
5,000 fe�t abe,am the runway at about the same distances.from the.tbreshold as sites "A„
and "1 ". These locations will define the reduction in noise level with increasing distance,
The final location will be "E". Its locauon is to he analogous to "D" on the opposite side of
the runway. Comparisons of leveLs at "D" and "E" will allow us to estimate wind effects
on the measurements. '

NiQel Finnev I7 October 1997 pa�e �
We need to identify levels from Scage 2 aircraft and from Stage 3 aircraft since their lov��
frequency characteristics differ. Vi�e want to have at least 100 good measured values at
each location for each stage of aircraft Based on the current level of operations at MSP,
we estimate that we might be able to obtain this number of values during two days of
measurements. Adverse weather conditions might reduce the number of vaiues we can
obtain on any day and increase the requi.red measuremcnt period At the outside, obtaining
these data should require no more than four days. For this reason, we have estimated costs
of data ac,c�uisition based on a range of two to four days of ineasurements.
�
•G �
To untiertake the measurements, we wil� need to have three people working together. One
of the people will be an observer in the?ATC tower who will keep an accurate log of
operations on runway I 1R-29L and any other ogerations that might conflict with the noise
measurements. (We will need ta have access to the tower for observauons.) The second
person will be a backup observer. The third person will tend �e noise monitors. Whi.le
two of the geople should be fIlvinrlH employees, the backup observer could be fram the
MA.0 staff. We have estimared costs for this work with two F�MIv��Ei personnel and also
wirh three.
Subsequent to the measurements, F�VIIvTH personnel will analyze the noise measurements
and develop cantours of low frequency noise based on the measured data. The contour
va.lues wil c.�rrespond to the values recommended during Tasb 2. While the primary
purpose of the low freqnency noise analysis is tc� evaluate potential impacts of low
freouency noise from ogera.tion of runway I7-35, the contouts will apply equally to other
runways at MSP. �:[Mt��ff3 will prepare contours for all runways now.at MSP as well as for
niawa}� 17-35. Since the contours for Stage 3 aircraft will differ from thase for Stage 2
aircraft, it will be necessary to consider how to apply the contours. Specifically, we will
r�commend when to use the Stage 2 contours and when to use the Stage 3 contours. We
propose that the contours deternZined during Task 1 be presented in a meeting at MSP. T�
technical work can be described in a brief technical memorandum or, more fully iri-a more _
fonnal report. We have estimated costs for both fornss of reporting. _
Task 2: Recommended Impacr Criteria for Low Frequency Noise —
A.� I said in the 9 October 1997 memorandurri, it appears that it is appropriate to consider
the onset of potential impacts on residentia� Droperties as a C-weighted level of 80 dB.
(This level, originall, est�bIishet3 for SFO, is confirmed by the BWI informatian.) We
propose thaz HM[Mfi document fully the reasons for the proposerl impact criterion. We
have estimated the level of effort and costs tQ pr�par.e a deta�led report.

Introduction
� The MAC and Richfield have discussed potential impacts of low frequency noise from
'� operation of a new runway,l7-35, at MSP. In the absence of adequate information on the
levels of low frequency from MSP operations, F�VIl1�H proposed to measure noise from
ex.isting operations and develop noise contours based on those measurements. Because the
level of low frequency noise is best represented by the "C" weighting network on a sound
level meter, measurements were conducted with C weighting.l As proposed, FiNiMf3
began development of low frequency noise contours for operations at MSP by measuring
levels of noise from operations on 12R-30L during the periad from 5 November 1997
tluough 7 November 1997, three days. Two H1VI:NiE� staff inembers were assisted during
the measurement prograrn by staff from the MSP noise office. After completion of the
measurement task, ���VLi1�II3 evaluated the measured noise levels and developed contours
showing C-weighted noise contours in the range from 80 d8 to 95 dB. In this ,
memorandum we present the contnurs developed during this study for your initial review.
Contours are presented for thrree groups of aircraft: (1) stage 2 aircraft; (2) new-technology
Stage 3 aircraft; and (3) older-tecY� ology Stage 3 aircraft �[IvIIvLEI recpmmend: `iiat the
MAC base its analysis of potential low irequency impacts of runway 17-35 at MSP on the
80-dBC contour from older-te�hnology Stage 3 aircraft.
` During work on a separate task under this project, F�V;QVTH determined ih,at it will
-- recommend that the MAC consider a C=weighted level of 80 dB �as the thr�shold
r.,, � for low fre�uency impact on residential land use. (This other work will be
reported separately.)

Description of Measurements �
H�'�-i measured noise from aircraft operations at seven locations. Figure 1 shows the
measurement locations. The specific locations of ineasurements differ somewhat from the
location initially anticipated. However, the measurement loca.tions met the goals for a
range of distances and an opportunity to deternune wind effects on noise propagadon.
Another goal of the measurement program was to obtain l00 measurements of Stage 2
aircraft operations and 100 measurements of Stage 3 aircraft operations with data at all
seven loca.tions for each operation. Qperations were on runway 12R for ati measurements.
The three_day measurement period yielded measurements at all seven locations and there
were more than 100 operations by eaeh stage of aircraft, However, a combination of
interfering noise from operations on parallel runway 12L and temperature-related
measurement problems at certain measurement sites reduced the numbers of good data
points at some sites. The numtier of good data points R,as {u1�y ���� ���t H�,iIVgi
to draw noise contours and'have confidence in the acccuacy og the contours:
During the measurements, �[NIMH me�sured wind direction and velocity so that we could
� assess the influence of wind on the measurements. This was desirable sinc� noise levels are
higher during downwind conditions and airport neighbarhoods tend to experience
downwind conditions frequendy. Measurements were available during downwind •
conditions at all locations. ,
� � �� � � �
Measurement Results �
.._ .
Ba"sed on the measurements, HIVIl1t�i observed that the noise characteristics of aircraft
departures at MSP fall into three groups. The firstgroup is Stage 2 aircraft (i.e., B727 and
DC9 aircraft). These aze the noisiestai�rcraft at MSP. The second group is new-technology
Stage 3 aircraft (i.e., B737-300 and B757 aircraft). These are the quietest aircraft at MSP.
The third group is older-technology Stage 3 aucraft (i.e., hushkitted bC-9, DC10 and
- IvID80 aircraft). This last group is quieter than the Stage 2 aircraft but not as quiet as the
new-technology Stage 3 aircraft. Whi1e all three groups of aircraft are nou, pr�ent in large
numbers at 1VISP, FAR Part 91 mandates that the Stage 2 aircraft will disappear by the yea�. �
2�00, prior to canstrucdon and use of runway 17-35.
Noise Contours
�gures 2 through 4 show C-weighted noise contours from ogeration of runway 17-35 for
the thr'ee groups o€ aircraft identified ahove. Note that the contours have shapes similar to
other single-event noise contours. The distance frorn the runway to the contour depends on
the noise produced by the aircraft and tbe aircraft elevation angle. The'contours aze not
P�el to the runway. Since the Stage 2 aircraft should be out of the fleet when runway
17-35 becomes operational, we recommend that t�e AgEs,C iden
tify potential low fret�uency
impacts on residential azeas by using ti�e $0 dBC contour for older-technology Stage 3 (��
aircraft. Figure 5 shows the recommended older technology Stage 4 80 d.BC contour in
I-�ARRIS MILLER MILLER & �iAP1SlJN iNC.
Initial Presentation of Low Frequency Noise contours pa�e �
� comparison with the 80 dBC contours for Stage 2 aircraft and new-technology Stage 3
aircraft. It aiso shows the BBN low frequency 75 dB maximum contour. While we aze
canfident that the 80 dBC criterion is appropriate and [hat our noise contours accurately
show the 80 dBC contour location, we are not able to evaluate the BBN recommendation or
how BBN developed the low frequency 75 dB maximum contour.
BBN's report does not describe fully how they went from their measurements to the low
frequency 75 dB maximum contaus. From our knowledge of aircraft noise, we do not
believe that a low frequency 75 dB contour would be parallel to the runway. As an aircraft
accelerates, the level of low frequency noise generated by the engine decreases. Further, as
an aircraft leaves the ground and begins flight, the noise propagation environnient to distant
locations improves. These two physical conditions cause contouts ta get closer to the
runway as an aircraft accelerates and further from the runway as the plan begins actual
flight The contour eventually�closes as the aircraft gets farther above the ground. We
could probably get BBN to,explain how they develoged this particulaz contour: However,
we would like to have you review this memo before we try. ._
A further point of consideration is potential differences in mitigatifln measures for the SO
dB C criterion and BBN's low frequency criterian. The BBN criterion is for frequencies at
or below 100 Hz. The 80 dBC criterion covers a broader range of frequencies. While the
80 dBC criterion contour tends to cover a larger area than the low fi�equ�ncy 75 dB contour,
it is probably easier to reduce t�e C-weighted level than it is to reduce levels at frequencies
at or below 100 Hz. We have information on sound insulation improvements relative to G
weighted noise. We will need to see what information we can find on sound insulation
improvements relative to noise levels at frequencies at or below 1Q0 Hz.
Requested Action
Please review this memo and consider the implications of�application of the twa criteria for
low frequency noise: 80 dBC and low frequency 75 dB maximum. I evill plan to call you
on Friday, 16 January 1998 to review this issue.

Andy,
Here is the package of e�chibits y,,ou.requested for the MSP Low Frequency Noise Report.
Please notice that the five figures of the prelvninary report are included and have been
updated as I noticed a few errors when I was putting Table 2 together and describing the
development of the contours. The errors found were: 1) The energy averaged values
associated with the measurement sites were incoaect (some were average values, not
energy average values), and 2) The directivity of the C-Lmax was not consistant in the
database determining the contours (some calculations were for a directivity of 130 degrees
and others were 140 degrees;130 degrees is correct).
Number one above is obviously a major contributor to the contour definitions and therefore
the contours changed. As you will nodce, this correction had the effect of moving the 80
dBC contours out a bit and producing a lazger dispazity from the BBN criterion 75 dB low
hequency contour.
I have plots that show how closely the contours match the measured data; even better than
before with the corrected informafion. Take a close look at the figures and ihe other
exhibits you requested and if any questions or concerns arise, please get together wiih me
to d�scuss them.
I should have caught these errors earlier than ns�w and feel bad that we almost gave the
client bad in.formation. I am confident in these new contours since they match with the
measured data so closely.

The contours were drawn using the energy average of the measured data in Table 2 for each aircraft type
(noise stage). It was determined that the C-weighted Lmax ]evel (C-Lmax) was measured when the
aircraft was down the runway past the measurement site at an average direcdvity from the aircraft of 130
degrees during downwind conditions. The fdur measurement sites along the 1500 ft sideline were utilized
to determine the change in C•Lmax as the aircraft progressed down the runway. A thira-order polynomial
fit of the energy average C-Lmax at each site for each noise stage of aircraft was-i3eveloped in order to
produce an equation to describe the offset (from the level measured at site A; the reference level) measured
along the runway.
The next step in developing the contours was to use the energy average measurernents at the further out
sites C and D(approximately 45i}0' sideline) compared to the measurements at sites A and B respectively
to deternune the propagation of the C-Lmax levels. Here we assum�d that the level drops 3 dBC as the
distance doubles or 201og(distance) along with some air absorption per 1000 feet of distance. Using the
reference levels at sites A and B, the pmpagations at C and D were determinesl. This process showed ttiat
the air absorption coefficient changed as the aircraft became airbarne; most aircrafc were still on the
ground when the GLmax level was measured at site C and airborne at site D. Therefor�, the air
absorption ccefficients used for develaping the contours degended on the distance down the runway of the
aircraft. ..
The contours were generated by developing a spreadsheet with a matrix of locations sideline to the runway
in a density of 1Q0 ft square sections. The matrix started 500 fY. sideline to the runway and proceeded out
to 10,Q00 ft and starte�i 8504 ft behind the start of the runway and extended to 1000 ft beyond the runway,
F.ach 100 ft square section of the matrix generated a C-Lmax level by deiermining the aircrafi location
when the GLmax would be measure� at that scction of the matrix (130 degree directiviry assumed� which
determined the distance from the aircraft (r) and ihe position of the aireraft aiong the distance vector r
intersecring with the 1500' sideline, assigning an offsei from the level measured at site A using the
polynomial equation, assigning an air absorption coe�cient (a), and solving the following equation:
C-Lnax=,, = Reference Level (Site A) - Offset Levei� - 20�1ag[r�/1900'J - c�'x) '�jr�/1000'J
�
where
1900 ft is the distance from Site A to [he aircraft when the GLma.�c occurs and
1 �00 ft is required since the air absorptian coefficients are ger 1400 ft of distance.
The above process generated the curves sideline and offset by 130 degrees to the runway. 'This process
also showed where the curves began to curve in toward the ruwa3+ center-�iHe�behind the runway. 'Ti�e 100
dBC Lmaz curve was able to be closed on runway centerline since it was so close to the runway, The ••
other curves were closed behind the runway by assuming a 3 dBC reducdon in level per doubling of
distance (20 log (r)). To extend the contours beyond.the end of the runway, the INMS,Ia program was
utilized to prnduce A-weighted Lmax curves for four different aircrafc types (DC9, t�gp� '757, and 747-
200). These A-weighted Lmax curves were then used to detezmine the shape of the contours �eyond the
end of the ruway to bring the curves in ioward t6e runway centerline.

The following table lists the proposed dates for the MASAC Operations Committee and the
�MASAC meetings for 1999. Additionally, staff has added specific discussion items for various
meeting dates that may be of interest Finally, the following list of activities have already been
identified during 1998 as topics for consideration and actions that must be completed during
1999:
1. , Develop specifications for Investigating GPS Landing System Use for Noise Alleviation
2. Review Nighttime Hours
3. Non-simultaneous Corridor Departure Analysis
4. Evaluate departure compliance through the Eagan/Mendota Heights Corridor and make
any necessary changes to the relevant procedures.
5. Evaluate and investigate the benefits of a Ground Run-up Enclosure
6. FAA tour of the Farmin�ton Air traffic Control center
7. Continue Part 150 contour generation review.
8. Providing incentives to carriers in acquiring and operating factory made Stage III aircraft.
9. Provide feedback to the MAC in their efforts to communicate changes in operations, due to
consiruction schedules, to the surrounding communities
Staff will also coordinate the following activities throuahout 1999:
10. Installation and upgrade of ANOMS to version 6.3 (Our current version is 4.2).
I 1. Write Rec�uest for Proposal (RFP) for the installation of five additional RMTs
12. Coordinate and supervise the installation of the RMTs and the integration of these sites
into A1�101VIS.
13. Complete Year 2000 compliancy for all Aviation Noise Program applications.
14. Enhance noise hotli.ne information dissemination optians and publish various
construction updates via the Internet.
Many of the staff items must be completed during 1999 for obvious year 2000 compliancy. The
installation of additional RMTs and the up�rades to ANOMS will require staff to dedicate
considerable tirne to the process for a successful installation process.

Continued from Pa�e One
Commission (MAC) which
i operates the Minneapolis-St. Paul
International Airport, to study the impact
that ground noise would have on Richfieid
homes next to the new runway.
When MAC refused to study low frequency
noise, Richfield paid for an independent
noise study by BBN Systems and
Technologies of Canoga Park, California.
The study determined the following:
At least 4,000 residents or 11
percent of the City's population,
two schools, two churches and
more than 100 businesses will be
substantially impacted.
At least 1760 residential units and
35 businesses wiil have to
removed to allow noise mitigation
redevelopment to take place. The
Richfield School District could
� lose up to 486 students due to
noise impacts.
_ • Substantially elevated low
/ � freq��ency noise levels will be
l �
-- experienced up to a mile from the
iunway that would affect 9,000
residents.
An acoustic barrier, such as a noise
wall or berm, of sufficient size to
provide effective low frequency
noise reduction for eastern
Richfield is not realistic, and
current insulation and sound
proofing programs will not relieve
these impacts.
Low frequency noise esposure,
which wili be imposed on the
eastern one-third of Richfield, has
been the basis for noise complaints
and remediation acti�•ities in
communities near other airports.
Richfield spent rivo years making phone
calls, requests and writing letters pleading
for MAC to study the issue and identify
proper miti2ation. The Draft and Final
Environmental Impact Statements for the
. rumvav project failzd to address or
i
_ recognize important potential impacts and
labeled low frequency noise impacLs as an
"unresolved issue." Because of the
resistance to address this foreseeable
impact, Richfield was forced to hire a team
of experts to analyze impacts overlooked in
the EIS and to formulate proposals for
appropriate mitigation measures.
The team found that the EIS had failed to
properly address, suggested inadequate or
no mitigation for 14 out of 33 impacts, and
failed to consider 4 additional impacts or
concerns. Richfield's exposure to low
frequency nuiway sideline noise from
aircraft operatior�s on or near the ground
while taxiing, taking off, thivst reversers on
landing, and engine maintenance run-ups
was the most glaring omission.
On June 1998, the City of Richfield
submitted an environmental mirigation
proposal for inclusion in the Environmental
ImpacC Statement (EIS) for the new
runway.
�Vhen the Record of Decision was released
by the FAA on September 30, again there
was no mitigation for low frequency
�ound noisz included in the EIS. The FAA
said in its Record of Decision that "In the
case of ]ow frequency noise, no adverse
impacts have been determined."
i�iAC has contended that the FAA
precluded a discussion of low frequency
noise in the IS because there were no
standards for measuring this type of
environmental impact. However, Richfield
learned from the Airport Noise Report that
the FAA approved fundinQ for low
frequency noise mitigation at the
Baltimore-iVashington Airport.
At the Baltimore-Washington AirQort, noise
insulation ti��ill be provided for homes
located 3300 feet from the end of a rumvay.
Richfield homes would be as close as I Z00
feet from tne end of the proposed runwav.
Both the �L�C and 1oc21 officials have
dznied any l:nowledge of lo�v frequency
noise miti?ation at Baltimorz-�'✓ashington
Airport or tae study that zstablished the luw
frequenc}• noise s�andard. That study was
conducted b}� iviAC's own noise consultanc,
Haris-�filler Vliller & Hanson (HivIMH).
Other conmunities around the country are
also struggling with low frequency noise
issues, including communities nect to
airports in San Francisco, Boston and Los
Angeles.
Getting airport proprietors to deal with
low frequency noise issues is made more
difficult because the FAA's metrics and
standards have been developed for
overflight noise. Overflight noise,
characterized by a high frequency
screeching sound, is measured on a A-
weighted scale. Low frequency noise is
measured on a C-weighted scale.
According to noise consultant HN1iYIH, the
A-weighted scale that is used to measure
high frequency noise and is a part of the
federal DNL standard de-emphasizes low
frequency noise.
The FAA funding for low frequency noise
at Baltiinore-Washington has set a
standard that Richfield is pointing to as it
meets with federal FAA officials,
congressional representatives and state
leb slators.
Because the Record of Decision is the
federal approval for runway construction,
the clock is ticking. Richfield may be
forced to take legal steps to biock
construction until it is assured of adequate
noise mitigation.
"It has never been our position, or the
posicion of the City of Richfield, to stop
the expansion of the airport," said Audrey
Duffee, a spokesperson for the 1,000-
member erass-roots group CARE Team —
"Caring Citizens Concerned About
Richfield's Environment."
"We only ask that in exchange for the `
airport to expand operations and increase
its revenue many-fold; that residents and
businesses of Richfield receive what they
are lawfully entitled to — miti�a�ion from
the si�nificant adverse envirorunencal
impacts of airpori operations," Duffe�
said.

The length of the FAA reauthorization bili
proved to be a very acrimonious issue
between the Senate and House at the
close of this legislative session. The final
compromise reached in the Omnibus
Consolidated & Eme,encv Supplemental
Appropriations for Fiscal Year 1999 (PL
105-277) was a six-month reauthorization
through March 31, 1999. Consequently,
the Airport Improvement Program will
only be funded for another si.c months
while legislators try to agree on a longer
bill. Obviously, this is a source of .
concern for both airport officials and the
Transportation Deparhnent.
Another contentious issue in b.oth the
Senate and House were provisions for
increased flights at four major airports:
Ronald Reagan National, La Guardia,
Kennedy and O'Hare. After
considerable opposition from legislators
ara constituents, these controversial -
� 'sions to increase flights at the four
major airports were omitted from the final
bili. However, it is clear that Senate
Cornmerce Chairman John MeCain (R-
A.Z) will reintroduce these exemptions to
the slot and perimeter rules during next
year's legislative session.
House Transportation and Infrastructure
Chairman Bud Shuster (R-PA) and
Ranking Member James Oberstar (D-
MN) are intent on overhauling the airline
industry in much the same way as they
revamped the hiahway and mass transit
system with this year's TEA-2l Act. In
addition to a more serious reevaluation of
aviation issues, one of their top priorities
next year will be to open up the Aviatiora
Tn�st Fund.
The short FAA reauthorization presents
both a challenge and an opportunity for
our orQanization. It will be important for
�tOISE to position itself next year to
ensure that AIP funding continues to be
adequate and that noise mitigation issues
z �t solely determined by legislators.
F'u.-�riermore, Congressional leedership
appears ready to make significant changes
that will have a direct impact on noise
reduction efforts, and NOISE has an
excellent opportunity to be a part of this
process and influe�je these decisions and
changes. ,

When�will•it Stop? Leave our Regional
Airport System Alone!
Tl:e following lvas submitted by Bertv Ann
Krahnke, Chair af COG Committee on
Noise Abatement at tVationat and Du11es
Airports and member of the Montgomery
County Council. Nis. Krahnke is also a
merrber of the 1VOISE Executive Board.
Why must our airports continue to be
congressionai chips? '
Having carefully planned the future of our
region's airports, the Washington-Balti-
more area should not have to wrestle again
and again with ill-advised, f derally
imposed airport �rowth. Residents and
visitors to the region should be enjoyin�
the new Ronald Reagan Washington
?`tational Airport terminal and the fruits of
expansion at Dulles and BWI. Instead, we
are again fighting attempts by a handful of
members of Congress who wish to
abrogate the 1981 compact with this region
upon which the airport improvements and
the region's expanded air service choice is
based.
The perimete: and high-density, or slot,
rules were formalized in 1951 to balance
szrvice between the re;ion's three major
airports. National has the most convenient
location for the majoriry of visitors, but it
is also a physically restricted airporc. The
hvo rules work to balance service ber.veen
Natio�al ane Dulles and BWI, and
benyeen National and its neighbors. They
also serve to increase safety and reduce
delays at National.
Senator John McCain (R-AZ) defines
airline competition by looking at only one
airport. The proposed changes to
National's rules would break long-standing
ae-reements, increase noise endured by our
communities, and would fly in the face of
years of regional planning overseen and
endorsed by the Metropolitan Washing-
ton Councii of Governments' Committee
on Noise Abatement at National And
Dulles Airports (CflNANDA).
Our communities are envied nationwide for
haviri� solved airline growth and competi-
tion on a regional basis at three airports—
National, BWI, and Dulles.
We have spent many years and many
federal,`state, and local dollars on planning,
noise mapping, noise monitoring and radar
flight trackina equipment, land-based
transportation improvements, and housing
and economic development policies—all of
which support improvements at Narional
and growth at Dulles and BWI.
We regret Senator MeCain's narrow
definition of competition.
Thanks to our Congressional delegation
and Representative Iienry Hyde (R-IL),
we received some relief from this on-going
fight led by Senator MeCain was still able
to remove dollars from the budget to fund
improvements at National and Dulles that
implement our reQional growth plan.
CONANDA members are locally elected
official and citizens who grow tired of
fighting to solidify and enforce the terms of
the airport's transfer to the NSetropolitan F
Washinb on Airports AuthorSty
(MbV�,A). i�f WAA shares our view that it
makes no sense to increase the number of
fli¢hts or the flight distances of planes
leaving National Airport. Our regiona':
aizport, ground transportation, and plannin�
all direct increased flights and larger
aircraft to the expanded (and expandable)
Dulles and BWI.
Don't gamble our reeion's future on a
narro«� aeenda.
