Please contact City Administration at 651-452-1850 with requests. RECONFIGURING MAC?! / ��tOC Cities Group rnet August 22nd and requested our thinking on MA.0 struciure. Ultan Duggan's thoughts. Airport Growth/Expansion impacts all of us to some degree: traffic, economics, safety, congestion, transportation, noise and quality of life. Coinmunities most impacted by airport presence are Apple Valley, Bloomington, Burnsville, Duluth, Eagan, Edina, Eden Prairie, Inver �rove Heights, Lakeville, Mendota Heights, Minneapolis, Richfield, Rochester, St. Cloud, St. Louis Park and St. Paul... We can't live without themi We must live with them, but the cities.within the 65 dnl contour should be foreinost for consideration in any proposed changes. MAC Comuosition (Mn statutes 2002, sects. 473.604, subd. 1; 473.605 etc) "to reflect fairly the various regions and interests... affected by...airport systein..." MAC is charged with many facets of Minnesota Airport Operations. The present MAC composition is detennined by the Governor and the Mayors of Minneapolis & St. Paul (2 seats). Are the rest of us fairly represented on this body? Do we know who represents us and more importantly How? Are our views and concerns well represented by this body? To wholn do they report? And why not to our communities directly as we are the most iinpacted by these airports. "to reflect fairly the various regions and interests... affected by... airport system..." We think the word "affected" is lost... Well over 1 lnillion people, almost (1/4 of our population) live close to '- Jur airports. ( � MAC Appointment (Mn statutes 2002, sects. 473.604, subd. 1; 473.605 etc) "Governor shall consult each member of the legislature representing the municipality. .." Accountability is the key. Cities rarely hear clearly from MAC unless the issue is controversial. Municipal input is lilnited. Why is that? Communication is the 2Ild key. City Councils do not often hear from MAC. To whom does that MAC representative (representing the municipality and recommended by the legislators) report to? How often? Is. there a hierarchy of issues? Who decides? Met Council works with 190+ municipalities dealing with long range plans including sewer, water and transportation. That Council reviews those long range plans, approves, recommends changes, oversees and steps in as it deems necessary to realign issues and ideas. MAC has not had any structural changes that I am aware of since its inception in 1989. The economics of airports and airline operations has changed drastically in that time. We propose that a more proactive basis be established between MAC an.d the communities it serves. ��omrnunities nearest airports should have a inore visible presence on MAC to better represent those �� ommunities and to establish a stronger sense of true partnership between coriununity and the airport serving it.

Danielson, City Administrator SUBJECT: I.,egislators Visit Preparation DXSCUSS�ON;; At the July mee�ing, the Airport Relations Cornrnission asked me to invite Mendota Heights State Legislatoxa, Senator Jim Metzen and Representative Rick Hansen to the September meeting. The p�ugust rneeting was used to develop an agenda for their visit. I have informed both Senator Mntzen and Representative Hansen of the following agenda questions that were developed in A�.igust: • MAC Buard representation — what are your feelings about adding another member represeriting the communities around MSP • Impact ��f the new runway (1�/35) o MAC 2�:)/20 Plan - update • Legislai�ures perspective on airport operations — should State bail out NWA? • What if the Governor is not re-elected — what effects?

The only suggestions I have are: 1. Revise the second sentence to request a single representative, otherwise you may get disagreement as to how many representatives there should be. I think we all agreed that the best strategy was to go for one, to get our "foot in the door". 2. It may be unrealistic, but I would push for a much more aggressive schedule, trying to complete the document by mid October, and have city agreement by eariy November. I believe that this is what Senator Metzen was asking for, so they could start lining up the other legislators before the end of the year.

I suggest one change that more accurately reflects our discussion last night. The discussion centered upon requesting a single representative for the currently unrepresented communiuties. Just one, not more than one, now. One representative would be a great start at this time. Bill -------------- Original message ---------------------- From: "Jim Danielson" <JimD@Mendota-Heights.com> > ARC, Here is the letter Ultan and I drafted �.o send to the NOC Cities > Group. Please review it today so that we can send it tomorrow. Thanks > Jim > > i" ',, (_._ ._) 1 C To: Cities Members of NOC Subject: New MAC Representation Last night the Mendota Heights Airport Relations Commission (ARC) met with Senator Jim Metzen and Representative Rick Hansen, Mendota Heights' State Legislators. During the meeting these legislators were asked if they would support new State legislation to add (a) new � membe�s�to the MAC that would be appointed by the cities that are within the DNL 65 air noise contour (Bloomington, Eagan, Richfield and Mendota Heights). Minneapolis and St. Paul already have their own members. These legislators told our ARC that they would be willing to carry such a bill to the state legislature and they were very optimistic about its possibility of passiilg. At that meeting, the ARC and legislators agreed on the following process: l. NOC Cities Group agree on the proposed bill's language by December 1, 2006. 2. Each affected City Council approve the legislation of the proposed bill and endorse it with a resolution by their first meeting in December, 2006. 3. Give the approved legislation to Senator Metzen and Representative Hansen. They will work with us to establish a coalition of legislators of the affected cities (as soon as possible, but before the next session) to present the proposed legislation to the group and to form a coalition of bi-partisan support for the legislation. That coalition would be the driving force supporting the draft (with revisions) of our proposed legislation. I request that you attend a 15 minute meeting after the October 27 NOC meeting to strategize as suggested by Senator Metzen and Representative Hansen and to begin crafting a complete proposal for them to present. Please let me know by return email if you are willing and able to attend this meeting.

B. Review of Updated AR.0 Brochure The Coinmission bri.efly reviewed the ARC brochure and provided revisions to the final draft. C. Update — NOC Meeting Chair Petschel provided the Commission with the following update on the July 19�' meeting at the MAC: • Clarified with Tim Butell, chief pilot for Northwest Airlines, that the pilois are not suing the airport over 17-3 5. • Merland Otto is re%ming and updating the DVD for the Airport 101 presentation. He stated that he would let the ARC know when the DVD is available. Chair Petschel suggested viewing the DVD at an ARC meeting. • Main topic of discussion was the 190-degree heading take-offs from Runway 17. • City of Burnsville discussed their frustrations with the operation. They want the Tower to use the 230-degree heading off Runway 17, placing the planes over the river valley. o Several good handouts were provided that helped to clarify. • The Tower has indicated that they would never use this heading. The reason given for not being able to use the 230-degree heading is due to the bow tie affect, which is a piece of airspace reserved for airplanes taking off from St. Cloud, St. Paul and Flying Cloud airports that have to fly over MSP. She provided the Corrunission with an example noting that if the heading is changed these flights could end up with dangerously close encounters with commercial planes. s The Tower is currenily experiznenting wiih a 200-degree heading.in the hopes that this would help provide some relief to the Burnsville area. She provided examples of the 12L and 17-35 departures. e Discussed new MAC website — provided them with ARC's feedback. • Kathleen Nelson did a presentation on the increase in nighttime operations — She stated that a new TSA requirement was implemented within the last year requiring that all planes must be completely inspected before morning takeoffs. She stated that in order to keep the planes on time they come in earlier, before 6:00 a.m., which counts as a nighttune operation when it actually isn't. She stated that this is one of the reasons why nighttime operations appear to have increased. • Still in the process of reviewing how inuch the TSA inspections are impacting the numbers. Numbers will be shared when study is done. � The next Cities NOC ineeting is scheduled for Wednesday, August 16, 2006 at 2:00 p.m. at the Bloomington City Hall. Conunission Meeting August 9, 2006 Mandota Heights Airport Relations Commission Acknowled�e Receipt of Various Reports/Correspondence: The Comrnission briefly reviewed the following doculnents: Commissioner Sloan suggested putting together a tracking tool that would provide a better visual for the Coinmission that would help ihem to understand the trends. Chair Petschel explained that the AR.0 has asked ihe MAC to do this in the past and it was determined that there was not enough staff tixne to put together that level of detail. She suggested, as a future agenda item, that the Commission take the tune to identify the most important items that the ARC would like to track from the Technical Advisor's Reports and Airport Noise Reports and decide on a process that could be used to track the information. Chair Petschel suggested inviting Chad Leqve to a future ARC ineeting to discuss some of the current airport issues and concerns.

The ruling enables the homeowners to pursue, as a class, litigation filed in 2005 by several homeowners alleging that the Metropolitan Airports Commission (MAC) reneged on a promise to provide the same full sound insulation package to homes in the airport's 60-64 DNL contour as was provided to homes in the 65 DNL and higher contour. The case, David B. Wiencke et al. v. the Metropolitan Airports Commission (CaseNo. Civ-OS-012976; filed Sept. l, 2005), should not be confused with a similar lawsuit also filed in 2005 by the cities of Minneapolis, Richf eld, and Eagan. Both lawsuits are set for trial in February 2007 and could be consolidated. At issue in both cases is exactly what was promised to homeowners around MSP International in the process the state Legislature used to determine that expanding (Conti�zued on p. 94) TRB �a TRB FORMING NEW SUBCOMMITTEE ON ISSUIE OF AVIATION SUSTAINABILITY On Aug. 17, the Transportation Research Board will host a brainstorming session in Washington, DC, to begin developing the rnission statement and strategic plan for a newly forming Subcommittee on Aviation Sustainability, which will be placed under TRB's Committee AV030 on the Environmental Impacts ofAviation. One of the issues expected by some to be addressed by the subcommittee is how to get the maximum emissions reductions from aircraft engines and the tradeoffs between noise and emissions that may have to be made in that effort. The noise community needs to be prepared for that policy debate, one observer noted. Sagging under the weight of skyrocketing fuel costs, the airlines are increasingly asserting that any additional fuel burn is too much and that fuel burn should be considered in determining whether to impose new noise abatement departure and arrival procedures and when reexamining existing procedures. The airlines, however, are not expected to call for a wholesale roliback of existing aircraft noise abatement procedures. The airlines also are pushing for airspace revisions that will allow for more direct flights, and thus less fuel burn and emissions. The Air Transport Association told the Federal Aviation Administration recently that the "potential increase in route distance and flying time" shouid be a su�cient basis for disqualifying from (Continued on p. 94) 97 August 9, 2006 IYl 7'yltS ISSU:G'... .

The MAC contends that it did promise to provide some relief to hozneowners in the 60-64 DNL contour but never promised to provide the full sound insulation package, which runs, on average, $45,000 per home. The three cities and the homeowners contend that the MAC gradually retreated from its original commitment to provide the full sound insulation package in the 60-64 DNL contour, eventually backing away from a promise in a 1999 airline lease agreement to spend $150 million on the pro- gram, and finally offering only air conditioning to homeowners in the 60-64 DNL contour that did not have it and requiring homeowners to split that cost on a sliding scale that went as high as 50 percent, which would cost homeowners atotal of$55 million. Efforts by the MAC and Northwest Airlines to dismiss both cases failed. The cases are both before Judge Stephen C. Aldrich ofHennepin County, MN, District Court. A spokesman for the MAC said the airport authority was disappointed with the judge's ruling designating the homeowners as a class. "We still believe no commitment was made [by the MAC] in terms o£what the mitigation would look like," he told ANR. At issue in the litigation, he said, is whether a commitment was made by the MAC Board to provide the ful] sound insulation package. "Does that negate a future Board's ability to change a policy later on if a past Board has made a commiiment?" he asked. Robert Moilanen ofthe Minneapolis law firm Zimmerman Reed, who represents the homeowners, applauded the court's rul•ing, calling it "an important step towards holding the MA.0 accountabie for what it promised these homeowners. As a class action, we are able to move forward to protect the interests of ali affected homeowners; families who could not afford to bring their claim individually now can enjoy representation through this case. We are eager to continue this fight. The MA.0 generates approximately $200 million per year from users of the Airport. It is time they spent some of that money to live up to the commitments they made." Said Warren Bowles, who was named as a class represen- tative in the judge's order, "I never thought it would take such effort to require a governmental entity to keep its promise. Instead of looking out for the community on airport issues, as they were set up to do, the MAC fights the community on all fronts." TRB, from p. 97 consideration a proposal by anti-noise groups in New Jersey to reroute aircraft departing Newark Internationai Airport over the Atlantic Ocean to reduce noise impact (see related story in this issue). The airlines also are arguing that Tower Orders imposing noise abatement procedures that are now causing capacity constraints at airports have outlived their usefulness in light of more modern airlines fleets and changes in fleet mix. The new TRB Subcommittee on Sustainability will define research needs in the area of aviation sustainability and one �� may be to examine the cost to airlines of voluntarily flying noise abatement procedures. A large-scale study of such practice has never been done. Brainstorming Session The brainstorming session for the new AV030 Subcommit- tee on Aviation Sustainability will be heid from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Aug. 17 at The Keck Center, located ai 500 5`'' St., NW, Washington, DC. Burr Stewart, strategic pianning manager for the Port of Seattle, will chair the new coznmittee and can be reached via e-znail at stewart.b@portseattle.org. Perspectives are sought and encouraged from every sector of the aviation industry in order to make the initial draft of the subcommittee's mission and strategic plan as comprehensive as possible. The first formation meeting for the new subcommittee will be held at the January 2007 TRB annual conference in Washing- ton, DC. Bun told ANR that the main issue in terms of aviation sustainability is what to do about climate change. "There are some interesting issues in emissions about tradeoffs between greenhouse gases, smog precursors, and noise. But mainly it is a question of what are the definitions and dimensions of s�stainability, how would we know if we were moving in the right direction, is there is a right direction, and what are the C; research needs we should be working on ne� " The Aug.17 meeting "is really going to be a preliminary meeting where no decisions will be made other than what are the main interests and questions that people have about this, which we will try to turn into a research agenda at the first actual meeting of the subcommittee at TRB next January." Fuel,EmissionsReduction Workshop In related news, a Workshop on Aviation Operational Measures for Fuel and Emissions Reductions, jointly hosted by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and Transport Canada, will be held in Montreal, Canada; on Sept. 20-2L The goal of the workshop is to disseminate information on fuel and emissions reductions contained in ICAO's Circular 303 on Operational Opportunities to Minimize Fuel Use and Reduce Emissions, and to provide a forum for experts and stakeholders to exchange ideas and develop partnerships to maximize potential benefits. The workshop will include an introductory item on alterna- tive fuels, aviation, and the environment and will be orga- nized into four panels: aircraft, airtra�c management, flight operations, and airports (air and ground side).

Airport Noise Report C Au�ust 9, 2006 Gt•arits FAA AWARDS SIX AIRPORTS AIP GRANTS FOR NOISE WORK Between June 21 and August 4, the Federal Aviation Administration awarded six airports a total of$9.58 million in federal Airport ImprovementProgram (AIP) grants to support noise mitigation projects, according to data posted on the FAA's website: http://www.faa.gov/ airports_airtra� c/airports/aip/grantapportion_data. The following airport proprietors received AIP grants for noise mitigation projects: • CityofBurbank,CA,receiveda$1,333,937grantfor noise mitigation for residences within the 65-69 DNL contour of Bob Hope Airport and to acquire aircraft rescue and fire fighting vehicle; • City of San Diego, CA, received two separate grants: a grant of $2,749,346 for noise mitigation measures for residences within the 65-69 DNL contour of San Diego International Airport; and a grant of $240,000 to conduct a Part 150 noise compatibility plan study for the airport; • City of South Lake Tahoe, CA, received a$150,000 grant to install a noise monitoring system at Lake Tahoe Airport; • City of Greensboro, NC, received a$3 million grant to acquire land for noise compatibility within the 65-69 DNL contour of Piedmont Triad International Airport; • City of Albany, NY, received a$900,000 grant for an engine maintenance ground run-up enclosure at Albany International Airport (land acquisition); and • CityofBurlington,VT,receiveda$1,209,350grant to acquire land for noise compatibility within the 65-69 DNL contour of Burlington International Airport. Air•space Redesign F.AA MUST CONSIDER FUEL BURN, AIRLINES SAY "In today's environment of spiraling fuel prices and heightened concern about aircraft emissions, it is simply inconceivable that the Federal Aviation Administration would give serious consideration to any airspace redesign that would result in increased fuel burn," David A. $erg, vice president and general counsel of the Air Transport Associa- tion, told FAA's Eastern Region in an Aug. 4letter. The ATA official chided the FAA for analyzing a proposal developed by the New Jersey Coalition Against Aircraft Noise (NJCAAN) to route aircraft departing Newark Interna- tional Airport over the Atlantic Ocean to gain altitude before turning them back over land at a higher altitude with less noise impact. The so-called Ocean Routing proposal was one of four altematives analyzed by the FAA in a Draft Environmental Impact Statement op a major redesign of the airspace over the New York, New Jersey, and Philadelphia metropolitan 99 areas put out for public comment. The FAA has always opposed the idea, which NJCAAN has been advocafing for many years and has the support of many state lawmakers. ATA'Disappointed' in FAA ATA said it was "disappointed to see that the FAA elected to expend scarce and valuable resources on analyz- ing an`alternative' that has absolutely no merit in terms of the stated goal to increase the efficiency and reliability of the entire NY/NJ/PHL Metropol itan Airspace. Specifically, the Ocean Routing Airspace Alternative was subjected to detailed analysis despite FAA's acknowledgement that `it was apparent ... from its inception this alternative did not meet the Airspace Redesign Purpose and Need" ATA said that the Ocean Routing proposal "is intended to achieve just one goal: to reduce noise impacts in one specific area of the NY/NJ/PHL Metropolitan Airspace. While we appreciate the FAA's interest in hearing from all interested parties, from a public policy perspective it is disconcerting that the FAA feels compelled to respond to this special interest group by including in the DEIS an alternative that is not an the overall public interest. FAA's airspace redesign has a much larger scope that will benefit a far greater number of citizens both in New Jersey and throughout the nation." ATA contended that the Ocean Routing proposal "would increase route distance and flying time for aircraft departing from Newark Liberty International Airport, LaGuardia, and JFK, reduce efficiency atNewark, increase complexity of arrivals and depariures at JFK, and increases airspace complexity above Philadelphia lnternational Airport, which is already a bottleneck in the system." NJCAAN has argued that its Ocean Routing plan, which was developed by a former FAA airspace architect, would benefit many communities in New Jersey. Said ATA, "The potential increase in route distance and f�ying time should be a sufficient basis to disqualify this alternative from further deliberation." It is unclear at this point whether the FAA will be success- ful in implementing the vast redesign it seeks to make in the NY/NJ/PHL, airspace. There is strong opposition to the FAA's preferred alternative by communities who would get increased noise impact and by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, the City ofPhiladelphia, and Westester County, NY, which want noise abatement flight paths at their airports to be preserved, among other things. Pompano Beacla CITY RESCINDS ORDINANCES RESTRICTING FLIGHT TRAINING Under pressure from the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA), the City of Pompano Beach, FL, has decided to rescind city ordinances codifying six contested restrictions on flight training activity that the Federal Airport Noise Report 9, 2006 100 ANR EDITi)RIAL Aviation Administration has concluded did not conform to federal taw. ADVISORX BC.DARD In June, AOPA asked the FAA to reject a plan proposed by the city for bringing the flight training restrictions into conformance with federal law by changing the enforcement scheme for the rules from mandatory to voluntary JohnJ.Corbett,Esq. but retaining the city ordinances. Spiegel & McDiarmid However, AOPA argued that the ordinances themseives had to be rescinded washington, DC because the FAA had concluded that the restrictions were unreas bl d Carl E.

Last December, in response to a formal complaint filed by AOPA, the FA.A ordered the city to cease enforcement of its restrictions on stop-and-go operations, touch-and-go operations, intersection takeoffs, taxi-back activity, prolonged engine run-ups, and the inclusion of rotorcraft in these activities. FAA ordered the city to cease enforcement of these restrictions until it could provide evidence that they were justified by an existing non-compatible land use problem, were effective in addressing the probiem, and reflected a "balanced approach" to addressing the problem "that fairly considers bath local and federal interests, and the FAA." Researclz � . . . � � � ; �; , �, � � � . � ' a �, • � . � . � � The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and the U.S. Air Force announced Aug. 7 that they have formed an aeronautics research partnership, although it is not clear at this point if it will address aircraft noise. NASA Administrator Michael Griffin and Secretary of the Air Force Michael Wynne signed a Memorandum of Understanding at a Pentagon ceremony under which they agreed to build upon and expand the long-standing relationship between the two organizations. "Although NASA and the Air Force have differing missions, there are common aeronautics research goals that dictate we maintain a close partner- ship," Gri�n said. The agreement is designed to ensure the free exchange of research informa- tion, reduce duplication of research, and enhance long-term research planning for both organizations. It covers areas such as advanced aireraft design, propulsion development, materials development, and aviation safety. A NASA press officer is trying to determine if the MOU also covers noise research. AIRPORT NOISE REPORT Anne H.

Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-NY) has urged Pederal Aviation Administrator Marion Blakey to drop consideration of the Ocean Routing Alternative, developed by the New Jersey Coalition Against Aircraft Noise (NJCAAI�, in its proposed redesign of the airspace over the New York, New Jersey, and Philadelphia metro- politan area. "Because this proposal would potentially shift air traffic from New Jersey to New York, I do not believe it is viable or well conceived," Clinton wrote. "That the FAA continues to expend funding on what has already been decided is not an alterna- tive that meets the Purpose and Need of the Draft Bnvironmental Impact Statement (DEIS) of the airspace redesign plan under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) is disturbing." Clinton's letter was dated Aug. 3, one day before the Air Transport Association (ATA) sent a similar letter to the FAA's Eastern Regional also strongly opposed to the Ocean Routing Alternative, which was designed to reduce noise impact on New Jersey communities by routing aircraft over the Atlantic Ocean to gain altitude before turning back over land. Both letters offer the same arguments for (Continued on p. 102) National Parks HOUSE CHAIRMEN TELL FAA, NPS NOT TO MODEL HIGI�-ALTITUDE FLIGHTS In a letter that will be cheered by the airlines, the powerful chairrnen of the House Transportation Committee and its Aviation Subcommittee told the Federal Aviation Administration and the Department of Interior that high-altitude over- flights of national parks should not be included in noise modeling "for any airport, airspace, or a�iation project." "To put it simply, the agencies should only be regulating low-flying air tour operations over National Parks and similar lands," Rep. Don Young (R-AK), chairman of the House Committee on Transportation & Infrastructure, and Rep. John Mica (R-PL), chairman of the Aviation Subcommittee, asserted in a July 21 letter to FAA Administrator Marion Blakey and Lynn Scarlett, acting secretary of the Department of Interior. The House chairznen wrote to clarify their position on FAA and NPS authority and responsibility regarding the regulation of aircraft in the vicinity of any unit of the national park system, including high-altitude overflights by commercial airlines. "As we understand it," the chairmen wrote, "the NPS and FAA aircraft noise modeling at the Grand Canyon Nationat Park (GCNP) now includes al l aircraft operations within a block of airspace extending to 20 nautical miles from the (Continued on p. 102) 101 August 16, 2006 IIZ TIZtS ISSIIe...

Although NJCAAN and others have insisted that noise mitigation be part of the Purpose and Need of the airspace redesign project, FAA has omitted it, saying it will deal with noise issues later. "That [FAA noted in the DEIS that] the Ocean Routing Alternative would not `reduce delay, baiance controller workload, meet system demand, improve user access, expedite arrivals and depariures, increase flexibility, nor maintain airport throughput,' begs the question as to why this alternative remains in consideration as a viabie alterna- tive," Clinton wrote. "In an era of increasing air trafFc, increasing fuei costs, and increasing demand," she said, "it seems this proposal would hurt air traffic at [Newark, LaGuardia, JFK, and Philadelphia lnternational Airport] and the airspace around them." The Staten Island Advance newspaper reported Aug. 14 that Sen. Clinton told attendees at a local Chamber of Commerce breakfast on Staten Island that the FAA had rejected the Ocean Routing idea years ago in the mid-1990s "but like a bad penny it showed up again: ' The paper reported Clinton saying that, at a congressional briefing held in Tune, the FAA said it was considering adopting the Ocean Routing Alternative for nighttime use in the agency's airspace redesign. However, a spokesman for FAA's Eastern Region said that is incorrect. FAA never said that it would implement Ocean Routing at night, he said. What the agency said at the congressional briefing is that it would consider using some component of the Ocean Routing atternative as a mitigation measure. The Air Transport Association told FAA in its letter that it was "simply inconceivable" that the agency would give serious consideration to any airspace redesign, such as the Ocean Routing Alternative, that would result in increased aircraft fuel burn. Meanwhile, opposition by locai governments against any alternative to revising the airspace over the NY/NJ/Philadel- phia metropolitan region that would bring additional noise to their communities continues to grow. The latest comes from Delaware County, PA, where part of Philadelphia lnternational Airport is located. At a mid-July press conference, county o�cials vowed to fight the FAA over its airspace revision plan, which they said would increase noise impact over parts of the County by as much as six to nine times current levels. Delaware County is the first governmental body to oppose the plan in the Philadelphia area, although the plan does have the support of the Greater Philadelphia Chamber of Commerce. County officials said that the "county wi (i be adversely affected by the project as it will result in an overall drastic increase in the noise exposure to county businesses, public facilities, schools and residents." Parks, fr•om p. 101 farthest edge of the GCNP boundary and at all altitudes, including general aviation (GA), military, and civil air transport (commercial) overflight activities. Additionally, there is a proposal being considered to create a flight free zone [that would include commercial aircraft] over the east end ofGCNP." Young and Mica noted that this "expansive modeling process" is being undertaken due to a decision by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit inter- preting the 1987 Overflights Act. In that ruling, the court said the FAA could not omit high-altitude flights over the Grand Canyon by commercial aircraft from its noise modeling but did not expressly state that the FAA should regulate such overflights. "There is every indication that the NPS is considering this expansive noise modeling approach for other units of the National Park System," Young and Mica said. "In fact, the NPS has submitted comments to environmental documents for airport development projects and airspace redesign efforts. Their comments have requested extensive, costly, and time consuming analysis of potential noise impacts from high altitude overFlights and airport development projects even when they are hundreds of miles away" "We want to be very clear," the House chairrnen told FAA and NPS. "The Overflights Act and the National Air Tour Management Act of 2000 were intended to address the low a�ltitude operations and repetitive noise generated by air tours over GCNP and other National Parks. At no time did Congress intend for all aircraft operations within a huge block of airspace and at all altitudes to be included in the equation. Nor did Congress ever intend for NPS and FAA to consider aircraft flying at or near cruising altitudes over any of our national parks or similar lands." Negative Impacts on Airspace System The potential negative impacts that the NPS approach would have on the National Airspace System both in ierms of e�ciency and safety, and particularly if expanded to ali units of the National Park System, "are enormous and quite frankly nnacceptable," Young and Mica wrote. "It would involve tremendous environmental, safety, economic, and e�ciency consequences. Even if limited to GCNP, this approach will have national implications. This is most certainly not the outcome either anticipated or intended when Congress enacted the Overflights Act." The Park Overflights Act requires the FAA and NPS to substantialiy restore natural quiet in the Grand Canyon National Park. NPS has defined substantial restoration of natural quiet as 50 percent of more of the park achieving natural qaiet (no aircraft audible) for 75-100 percent ofthe day. That standard is easy to meet if only low-altitude air tour flights are considered in noise modeling but becomes very difficult to meet when high-altitude commercial overflights of the canyon are included. Airport Noise Report t �� 16, 2006 The House chairmen said that the noise modeling results they have seen indicate that 53.9 percent of the park on the peak air tour day is naturally quiet. "This is a tremendous achievement and satisfies the congressional intent of the Overflights Act. We encourage the agencies to not lose sight of this success while needlessly regulating small air tour companies out of business." Unclear at this point is whether Young and Mica's letter conflicts with a May 2002 ruling, also by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, involving an Environmental Assessment done by FAA under the National Environmen- tat Policy Act for a replacement airport at St. George, Utah. The court found that FAA's noise analysis for the replace- ment airport, which will be located near Zion National Park, failed to consider the cumulative noise impacts of aircraft on the park and ordered FAA to redo its analysis and consider air traffic near and over the park, from any airport, and from air tours near or in the park. San Antonio Int'Z SOUIV� INSULATION PROGRAM BEGINS WITH FIRST 375 HOMES San Antonio International Airport's residentiai sound insulation program got underway this surnmer as work began on the first 375 homes in a$28.8 million program that is expected to run for years into the future. It is unclear how many hoznes will be eligible for the � program at this point. The 65 DNL contour in the airport's 1998 Part 150 noise study included 5,100 homes. However, th� airport is getting ready to update its noise study and the 65 DNL contour is expected to shrink significantly due to the use of newer, quieter airplanes and air tra�c that has not grown as fast as expected. The residential sound insulation program treatments inctude new windows and doors, attic insulation, and ventilation fans. Costs are expected to average $30,000 per home. The Federal Aviation Administration will fund 80 percent of the program cost, with the airport's 20 percent share coming from Passenger Facility Charges. THC, Inc., based in Duluth, GA, is managing the program for the City of San Antonio and will empioy a unique management concept called "Design Build," under which the firm will be responsible for every aspect of the program, from pre-qualifying contractors to purchasing all sound insulation products. The City of San Antonio has hired a local firm to oversee THC's work and ensure that it meets all required standards. That firm, Foster CM Group of San Antonio, has formed three oversight teams: an architectural group will review designs, a mechanical group, and a group that is going to look at compliance with Federal Aviation Administration standards. Foster Group will act as another set of eyes to ensure that the program rmzs smoothly, explained Cheryl Chamness, 103 THC's sound insulation program manager at San Antonio. She said this is the first time such a system has been used in a residential sound insulation program. Although THC in managing the sound insulation program, it is not a general contractor and so it has partnered with a local firm, C.A. Landry Parkners, which is able to bond local pre-qualified contractors who will perform insulation work. THC conducted an extensive outreach effort to find qualified local contractors for the program and will continue to seek new ones as the program progresses. San Antonio's sound insulation program is being con- ducted under what is termed a single parcel program delivery method, in which each homeowner is processed as an individual bid package and where homeowners are provided the opportunity to select among bidding contractors. This method is in contrast with the multi-parcel method in which groups of homes are combined into one bid package for contractors. European U�zioiz BUSH DELAYS FINAL RULE ON FOREIGN OWNERSHIP In the face of strong congressional opposition, the Bush administration has decided to delay finalizing a rule that would ease foreign ownership of U.S. airlines. Until that rule is made final, the European Union will not enter into an open skies treaty with the United States. Included in that treaty is a provision which would require the signatories to weigh the costs and benefits of imposing measures to protect the environment, such as aircraft noise and emissions restrictions; to refer disagreements between countries on measures to a committee corriprised of govern- ments, airports, and airlines; and to refer any disagreements that the committee cannot resolve to a three-person interna- tional arbitration panel (18 ANIZ33). The Bush administration had indicated earlier that it planned to move ahead with finalizing the foreign ownership rule this summer in order that the EU ministess could review it at their Oct. 12 meeting, clearing the way for the open skies treaty to be completed. Jeffrey Shane, undersecretary for policy at the Department of Transportation, said Aug. 15 that the Bush administration recognizes that it must address concerns of Congress that enhanced foreign ownership of U.S. airlines would hurt the economy and result in the loss of U.S. jobs. The foreign ownership rule would permit non-U.S. citizens to exercise day-to-day authority over various aspects of airlines operations but not issues relating to safety, security, or national interest. 'I'he open skies treaty would allow European and U.S. airlines to fly where ever they wanted to beiween European and U.S. cities at what ever price they chose. Shane said the treaty would enhace competition and provide more airline service. Airport Noise Report August 16, 2006 �II � , • � � . ,,, , ' 1 �I' i••'l John J. Corbett, Esq.

The airport has proposed acceptance of another alternative location for ttie new runway, 600 feet west of the earlier approved location. The new location was fully analyzed as an alternative in the FEIS and meets FAA design standards. The purpose of the ROD and Written Reevaluation was to evaluate potential environmental impacts arising from the approval of the location previously analyzes in the FEIS that may not have existed in 1999 at the time of the original analysis. According to the FAA, moving the runway 600 feet will have no increased noise impact because homes in the area have already been bought out.

The noise primer project will be funded at a level of $500,000. On Aug. 22, the ACRP announced preliminary descriptions of 17 projects for which formal requests for proposals (RFPs) and detailed project descriptions will to be issued, beginning in November (go to www.trb.org and click on ACRI' under Programs in left hand column). The projects were selected at the end of July by the ACRP Oversight Committee, which serves as the governing board for the program, which was authorized in the Vision 100-Century of Aviation Reauthorization Act. ACRP is sponsored by the Federal Aviation Administration and managed by the Transportation Research Board(TRB).

The new airport will have a 9,300- foot runway that will allow 70-seat regional jets to begin operations. The cunent airport cannot be expanded because it is located on a blufF overlook- ing the city. The replacement airport concerns environmental groups and the National Park Service (NPS) because it will be located near Zion National Park, one of the jewels of the national park system. After an extensive, court-ordered reevaluation of the noise impact of the project, FAA concluded in its ROD that a replacement airport at St. George would have no significant noise impact on the park and that no noise mitigation was required for the project. However, the FAA did commit in the ROD to take specific steps to keep aircraft from overflying Zion, although it did not term them "mitigation" measures per se. FAA said that it has elected to: • Establish an approach procedure for the replacement airport designed to keep aircraft as high as possible and west of Zion without af%cting final approach (Contir�ued on p. 107) In This Issue...

That broad range of issues is evident in the projects selected for fiscai 2007. In terms of the environment, a study "Summarizing and Interpreting Aircraft Gaseous and Particulate Emissions Data" will be funded in 2007. Another interesting project is on "Potential Impacts of Very Light Jets on U.S. Airports." Primer on Noise The objective of the primer on noise "is to develop a user- friendly primer for airport managers on the technical issues associated with managing noise in and around airports," ACRP's Oversight Committee said in the problem statement. "The research should provide a discussion of the history of airport noise, issues surrounding airport noise, and the cunent status of noise issues. It should also provide case studies of airport noise issues and offer guidance on assessing likely community response to aircraft noise" In addition, the Oversight Committee wants the primer to discuss sleep disturbance, thrust reverser noise, low- frequency noise (vibration), "and other issues deemed appropriate." The primer also should include "educational elements that can be used by airport managers to clearly discuss airport noise issues with communities." The ACRP problem statement noted that community opposition to airport development or expansion is already a significant restraint to meeting future capacity needs. "As air traffic growth forces more and more metropolitan regions to seek sites for new secondary commercial service airports or even to relocate existing airports from con- strained sites that offer limited options for additionai expansion, community attitudes to new and expanded airports will become an even more important element of airport system planning. While community attitudes to airport operations are influenced by a number of factors, aircraft noise is the dominant issue at most airports," the problem statement noted. Current Understand ing Lacking And ACRI''s Oversight Committee recognized that "our current understanding of the factors that influence commu- nity attitudes to aircraft noise leaves much to be desired. Current Federai Aviation Administration guidelines for compatible land use around airports (and state guidelines in a number of states) are largely based on a single metric, Day-Night Average Sound Level (DNL); provide little or no guidance on the level of community response that can be expected in any particular situation; and provide very little flexibility to adjust cornpatible land use policies to local situations." Federal land use guidelines for airports "are lazgely based on analysis done by the Federal Interagency Committee on Aircraft Noise (FIeAI� of past studies of community annoyance and prior work of other federal interagency committees. This analysis has updated and endorsed a relationship between DNL and the percent of the population who report themselves to be highly annoyed by aircraft noise, generally referred to as the Schultze Curve after its original developer. This updated curve suggests that at 65 DNL, about 12 percent of the population will be highly annoyed." While the ACRP Oversight Committee did not deride the federal land use guidelines in its problem statement, the committee said "it is clear that meaningful and effective airport land use compatibility planning require an under- standing of how different levels and patterns of aircraft activity at an airport contribute to community annoyance, and how local circumstances affect how different communi- ties react to the same level of aircraft noise. It is self-evident that communities in densely developed urban areas are likely to react differently from those in suburban or rural areas. There may also be differences between situations where the surrounding land uses have changed but the airport activity is more or less the same and those situations where the airport activity has changed significantly but the surround- ing communities are largely unchanged." Members Sought for Oversight Panels ACRP announced that it is seeking nominations for individuals to serve on oversight panels that will be estab- lished for each research project to be undertaken in fiscal 2007. Nominations of individuals for specific projects with �xpertise directly relevant to the research proposed are being sought, with particuiar emphasis on identification of women and minority candidates. Nominations must be received by Sept. 29 and should be sent to bdouple@nas.edu. The oversight panels will begin meeting in November. Land Use Study Within a month, TRB is expected to announce the name of the contractor who has been awarded $500,000 to conduct research on land use under the ACRP's 2006 agenda. The contractor will develop guidance to protect airports from incompatibie land uses that impair and constrain operations and future airport development (18 ANR 67). The 2006 research agenda for ACRP is the first to be funded under the new program, which was approved by Congress at the end of 2003. The land use project is divided into two phases. Under the first phase, current and past land use guidelines and their effectiveness will be reviewed, interviews with key stakehold- ers will be conducted, and airports will be identified for further case study. In the second phase, case studies will be done to illustrate good and innovative land use compatibility guidelines near airports, land use tools and strategies that have been effective, types of problems for which land use agencies have little or no guidance, situations where existing guide- lines and regulations are not being implemented appropri- ately, and barriers that prevent compatible development. Airport Noise Report C ust 23, 2006 St. George, fi•om p. X OS minunums; • Work with the Park Service and other resource management agencies on future air tour management planning for the park; • Work with the City of St. George to develop voluntary noise abatement initiatives involving a pilot education program, coinmercial operator agreements, printed informational materials, and follow-up monitoring; and • Ensure that the City of St. George will work with the Park Service and the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to monitor the success of these initiatives. FAA said that its approval of the new St. George Airport is conditioned on completion of these measures and that it will use federal grant assurances and approvals of airport layout plans to ensure that these actions will be taken. The pilot education program will encourage pilots using the replacement airport to avoid flying over Zion. Commec- cial operators will be able to fly departure routes that do not cross over the center of the park. Keepin� Pacewith Growth "Ensuring that this community has the transportation system it needs to keep pace with the region's growth is critical" said FAA AdministratorMarion C. Blakey. "This project will greatly improve the levei of passenger service to the community." The FAA administrator is scheduled to fly to St. George in September to l�and-deliver the first federal grant to fund the airport, which is estimated to cost between $120 million and $150 million. Even though St. George is not a hub airport, the replace- ment airport project was one of only a few airport projects selected for "environmental streamlining" under an executive order issued by President Bush in 2002 that streamlines the decision-making process for major transportation projects. St. George's inclusion on that list is testament to the influence of Utah's congressional delegation, including Senators Orrin Hatch and Bob Bennett. "It's Christmas in August," Hatch said. "St. George is booming [it's a growing retirement and recreation area] and its airport simply can't keep up with the increased demand for much longer. I'll be fighting to make sure the Federal government gives the financiai support needed to build a new airport as quickly as possible." The replacement airport project, Hatch said, "has been delayed for years because of the endless demands by environmental extremists, which cost St. George $15 miliion to fight." Hatch was referring to litigation fled by the Grand Canyon Trust in 2001 challenging the FAA's Environmental Assess- ment done on the project. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit ruled in 2002 that the FAA's noise analysis was insufi►cient because it had failed to consider fuJly the impacts of aircraft noise on Zion. It ordered the FAA to redo its analysis and to consider the 107 cumulative impact of aircraft arriving and departing St. George, as well as air tour flights over Zion, and hSgh altitude flights over the park by aircraft flying to other airports. The Grand Canyon Trust said it supports the decision made by FAA to move forward with the new replacement airport at St. George now that the Environmental Impact Statement ordered by the court has been completed. But Richard Mayol, director of communications for the Trust, said his organization "does, however, take issue with Senator Hatch's characterization that the `process had been delayed for years because of the endless demands by environmental extremists' ... All we did was ask the court to enforce the environmental laws and regulations and instruct the FAA to do the same. The court agreed that the FAA had not followed the law and told the FAA to bring Zion National Park into the discussion and evaluate the impact of noise pollution on the park, which they subsequently did r�vhen the EIS was prepared. It is not `extremism' to simply ask that the laws on the book be enforced." High-Altitude Overflights One of the letters that FAA received on its court-ordered EIS of the St. George replacement airport was from Rep. Don Young (R-AK), chairman of the House Committee on Transportation & Infrastructure, who complained about the extensive noise study and noise modeling of high altitude aircraft operations that FAA had included in the EIS. Young noted that some of the aircra$ in the St. George noise modeling did not even serve that airport and others were operating at cruise speed. "Much of the new found interest in potential noise impacts from aircraft operations in the vicinity of national parks is an outgrowth of efforts by the FAA and NPS to deal with safety and noise issues related to air tour operations over Grand Canyon National Park and other units of the NPS," Young wrote. He stressed to FAA that the two park overflights acts passed by Congress were intended to address only low altitude air tour operations over parks and not high altitude overflights. "Unfortunately," he wrote, "due to overzealous interpretations and faulty court decisions, these efforts have been greatly expanded to include all aircraft operations in the vicinity ofaNational Park, which can mean as much as several hundred miles away and at all altitudes." But, despite Young's derision of the D.C. Court of Appeal's ruling, FAA chose to abide by it. "We believe it was necessary to conduct the extensive noise analysis presented in the EIS to fully and thoughtfully respond to the comments and concems of the court, other Federal agencies, the public, and to satisfy NEPA [the National Environmental Policy Act], and other legal requirements," the agency told the congressman. Young as well as other members of Congress, the airlines, and some airport authorities are concerned that the Grand Canyon Working Group, which represents diverse stake- holders on the park overflight issue, will seek to restrict high-altitude overflights of the Grand Canyon as a means of Airport Noise Report 23, 2006 108 ' _ ANR EDITORIAL restoring natural quiet to the park, as required by the overflights act.

Vigilante President, Synergy Consultants Seattle Flight Free Zone over Grand Canyon The Grand Canyon Working Group, however, is considering whether it is feasible to impose a flight-free zone over part of the Grand Canyon, which would include high-altitude commercial aircraft. Tn a June 161etter to the FAA and NPS, the Clark County, Nevada, Depart- ment of Aviation said it did not believe that the Working Group, which is chaired by the two federal agencies, "has the legal authority or technical expertise to evaluate restrictions on high altitude overflights." Operations into Las Vegas McCarran International Airport, which the County owns, would be affected by airspace revisions over the Grand Canyon. MITRE Corp. is preparing for the Working Group "a very preliminary assessment of the feasibility of restricting high altitude overflights by considering the primary airspace impacts of creating a flight-free zone around some portions ofthe Grand Canyon," Clark County explained in its letter. MITRE could conclude that the airspace simpiy cannot safely accommodate such rerouting around the Grand Canyon. But, said Clark County, "it seems equally likely that MITRE's conclusion simply will be that rerouting aircraft will impinge on the surrounding airspace so as to increase trip length, result in delay, and reduce efficiency. We do not see how such results would be very useful. The Working Group members simply are not in a position, legally or technically, to determine the threshold beyond which increased delay and cost renders a restriction infeasible ... Equally significant, we do not believe that the limitations ofN1ITRE's analysis have been fully captured and explained to the Working Group." Daniel Reimer of the Denver lawfirm Kaplan Kirsch & Rockweli, represents Clark County on the park overflights issue. "It is likely that the FAA will have to account for the noise of high altitude overflights in the ongoing EIS evaluating the impacts of a new overflight rute for Grand Canyon," he told ANR. "But there is a critical difference between accounting for noise and imposing regulations or restrictions to reduce noise." Neither the D.C.Circuit's ruling in St. George, or in an earlier case concerning the Grand Canyon, definitively answered the question we now face about restricting en route traffic for the benefit of the Grand Canyon, he said. "Congress has answered the question through multiple letters on the limited scope of the Overflights Act, but it may take yet another lawsuit to conclusively resolve the issue."

Last May, the airport asked the community to suggest projects to be funded by the curfew violation revenue that could meet the following criteria: offer some benefit to the community, be related to operations at the airport, enhance the interaction of the airport with the community, and enhance the relationship between neighbors and the airport. Under federal law, the airport curfew fund may be used only for expenditures that are directly and subsiantially related to the operations of the airport. The deadline for submission of project ideas was May 19 and the airport received 44 applications for a total of 26 non-duplicated suggested project ideas, according to Jaime Locquiao, noise officer for San Jose International. The Airport Commission reviewed the 26 items at its August meeting and established a list of the top nine items that it felt met the project criteria, he said.

The idea of moving the conference was proposed by the program planning committee, on which ANR sits, and was prompted by several factors: the opportu- nity to align the conference with one of only a few Air Quality Research Centers in the country sponsored by the Environmental Protection Agency; the ability to tap into UC Davis' extensive expertise in aviation noise and air quality; and the enthusiasm of Dr. Anthony Wexler, director of the Air Quality Center, for bringing the synnposium under his wing and expanding it. In 2007, the conference will be held in San Francisco due to commitments that had already been made by UC Berkeley. However, planning is underway to move the symposium back to Palm Springs in 2008. Dr. Donna Reid will continue to serve as the conference manager and Walt Gillfillan as moderator of the symposium.] Following is the text of UC Davis' announcement regarding the conference move: (Conlinued on p. 110) 109 September 6, 2006 IYt TIZZS ISSLCG'. . .

The airport staff currently is researching each of these items regarding scope and budget. The Commission has established a three-member task force that will review the nine items and make recommendations to the Commission, which will then make its own recommendations and pass them on to the San Jose City Council for a final decision. The Airport Commission is expected to discuss the task force recommendations at its October meeting. Air Pollution Monitoring Not Feasible The San Jose Rose Guardian Resident newspaper reported that the project with the most community support was an air monitoring station that would measure air pollution at the airport. However, airport stafFsaid this project was not feasible after consulting with the Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD), which said that monitor- ing equipment couid not differentiate the sources of air polluYion, such as planes, cars, and other sources. Locquiao said that, in 2002, at the request of the San Jose , City Council and the community, the City addressed the feasibility and cost-benefits of installing air quality monitor- ing stations at or adjacent to the airport in cooperation with the BAAQMD, which is responsible for monitoring air quality throughout the San Francisco Bay area and cur- rently operates 31 monitoring stations around the region, with four located in San Jose. The closest station to the airport is approximately two miles to the southeast and generally downwind from the airport. "BAAQMD concluded that a program to distinguish airport-related pollutant sources from non-airport pollution sources wquld be technically difficult," Locquiao told ANR. "Pollutant emissions in the airport vicinity are also gener- ated by the significant volumes of non-airport related freeway and roadway vehicle tra�c, area construction activity, and stationary sources. Also, due to prevailing winds and topography, San Jose and the South Bay are also impacted by pollutant emissions generated elsewhere in the San Francisco Bay Area. To try to distinguish the airport's contribution would require placement ofmultiple monitors operated over a multi-year period, plus specialized data analysis. As surface vehicle traffic is the primary source of area pollutant emissions, measurements from additional monitoring sites around the airport may not be significantly different than the existing downtown monitor. Studies at other airports have reached similar conclusions. "While air pollution monitoring is not feasible, the airport master plan does include extensive measures to minimize air pollutant and airfield congestion, and encourages conversion of vehicles and equipment to alternative fuels," Locquiao { added. � Curfew Now Noise-Based San 7ose International had a nighttime operations curfew based on aircraft weight that was grandfathered under the Airport Noise and Capaciiy Act of 1990. However that weight-based curfew came under legai challenge because aircraft weight is not related directly to noise level. In October, 2003, a new curfew, based on noise levels emitted by aircraft, went into effect. The airport levies a$2,500 fine for each violation ofthat curFew. Conferences, from p. X 09 After a 21-year history under the auspices of the Univer- sity of California at Berkeley Institute of Transportation Studies Continuing Education Program, the annual aviation environmental symposium is moving to the University of California at Davis' Air Quality Research Center (AQRC). This symposium, which has an international reputation as the premier gathering on aviation's envizonmental impacts, is usually held in late February or early March and was held, this past year in Palm Springs, California. �Former Berkeley Program Manager Dr. Donna Reid noted that the move was prompted by the strength of the air quality program at UC Davis. "This move is advantageous in an era when many see the need to train the next generation of researchers, consultants, and regulators as paramount," Reid said. Set in the heart of the Sacramento Val]ey in northern California, the UC Davis campus is the University of Califor- nia flagship campus for environmental studies, with one in six faculty members specializing in an environment-related subject. The Air Quality Research Center, under the direction of Dr. Anthony Wexler, has one of the largest concentrations of air quality experts at any university campus in the United States with over 70 faculty members involved in air quality research affiliated with the Center. Investigations underway range from the biological effects of air pollution to agriculiurai emissions and giobal climate change. "The synergies which can develop between our symposium and the work here at Davis are unique, it is a great fit for this event," said Reid. The Center, supported in part by the U.S. EPA, works across a broad spectrum of disciplines and subfields to look at the impacts of air pollution. Some of this work is going on in California's San Joaquin Valley which experiences some of the worst air quality in the nation. "UC Davis researchers are working diligently to improve our understanding of how atmospheric pollutants are formed, spread, and affect human health," Wexler said. "On the campus here, we not only have tremendous breadth and depth in air quality but also a fine Airport Noise Report � September 6, 2006 111 Aeronautical Engineering faculty and an acoustics lab." The move coincided with the Program Planning meeting in June, where Program Committee members voted to endorse the move to UC Davis. Syposium founder and moderator extraordinaire Walt Gillfillan also will be part ofthe newiy- forming Da�is team. A smooth transition is expected with the Preliminary Program anticipated to go out in late September. UC Davis will be honoring arrangements made by Berkeley to hold the meeting in the Stanford Court Hotel in San Francisco on March 4-7, 2007. In addition to her symposium duties, Dr. Reid is now working on other air quality conferences and jocularly queried coileagues on their knowledge of emissions from cattle. "Cows are right up there with jumbo jets in contribut- ing to air pollution," she said. "With all the great resources at UC Davis, and a dynamic and visionary leader like Tony Wexler, there is no telling what the future might hold for our symposium," Reid said. Now there's something to make noise about. Readers can contact Donna at dvreid@ucdavis.edu or tel: (530) 754-8374 for more information, or just say Moo.

Fliglzt Tracking �: .. . �: _ _ . _ .. . .. :. .�- . : � '�'' '♦ '• � : Nottingham East Midlands Airport in England announced that it has become the first airport in Europe to allow the public to watch the movement of aircraft flights and air tra�c patterns via its website (www.nottinghamema.com). The airport instalied Lochard's `Web Trak' system, which provides detailed information about aircraft that have landed or taken off from the airport and replays the tracks the aircraft have flown. Flight information is updated daily but is one day old to maintain security. The Lochard system uses data from the British National Air Tra�c Services radaz. This includes all aircraft opera- tions within a 30-mile radius ofthe airport, with the exception of aircraft above 15,000 feet and some light aircraft. Other aircraft operating within the airport's airspace that do not arrive or depart the airport also will be displayed but without the detailed information provided for airport-related aircraft. Until now, information about specifc aircraft operating at Midlands could only be obtained by written request. By visiting the airport's website, the public can now navigate the Lochard system to obtain information, such as aircraft track, altitude, airline, and aircraft type. Penny Coates, managing director of the airport, said, "When we began consulting on our Draft Master Plan in February, we pledged to introduce a system on-line whereby members of the public with an interest in movements of aircraft to and from the airport, could monitor this for themselves. Our environment team has worlced closely with the experts at Lochard to develop the facility and we're delighted to be leading the way in Europe with this cutting- edge technology." She added, "We take our commitment to the environment extremely seriously and have spent of 2 million (British pounds) [approximately $3.7 million] in environmentai iniiiatives over the last 10 years to reduce the impact of our operations. We were also the first iJK airport to receive ISO 14001 accreditation for environmental management. We want to be as transparent about our operations as possible and Web Trak gives residents living in the vicinity of the airport a much clearer picture about what is happening in the skies above them." Midlands airport is operating at a level of 4 million passen- gers per year and is an air freight center. � In Brief ... � EIS forProposed Ivanpah Airport The Federal Aviation Administration and the Bureau of Land Management (part of the Department of Interior) announced Sept. 5 that they wiil jointly prepare an Environ- mental Impact Statement for the proposed Southern Nevada Supplementai Airport, which is also known as Ivanpah Valley Airport. Ivanpah would be the first major new airport to be con- structed in the United States since Denver International Airport opened in 1995. Clark County, Nevada, Depariment of Aviation, the project sponsor, wants to site the new airport on an environmen- tally-sensitive 6,000-acre dry lake-bed in the Ivanpah Valley, 30 miles south of the Las Vegas metropolitan area and five miles north ofthe Californiaborder. Plans for Ivanpah call for two parallel ranways and a 14- gateterminal building with 14,000 acres for commercial and industrial development. Clark Couniy wants the new airport to be operational by 2017 and to supplement existing capacity at Las Vegas McCarran International Airport, which is expected to begin reaching unacceptable levels of congestion and delay in 2015 when it is forecast to reach 706,684 annual aircraft operations, which is a 15 percent increase over the current number. FAA forecasts continued strong growth in aircra£t operations into Las Vegas because of the rapid growth in tourism, convention business, and service industries associated with the gaming and entertainment industry in Las Vegas. In the Ivanpah Valley Airport Public Lands Transfer Act, Congress directed the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to transfer properiy in ivanpah Valley to Clark County in order to develop the new airport. Congress also directed the FAA and BLM to jointly prepare the EIS, which wi)1 also Airport Noise Report September 6, 2006 ANR EDITORIAL consider expanding McCarran Intemational, using other existing airports to ADVISORY BOARD Provide additional capacity, and doing nothing. Public scoping meetings on the EIS will be held on Oct. 3, 4, and 5 in Las Vegas. John J. Corbett, Esq. For further information, contact Andrew M.

The projects shown in year one represent projects that have been reasonably defined for implementation in the upcoming calendar year. Staff will have authority to develop final plans and specifications and advertise for bids for these projects. Projects in year two hav� been identified as a need or potential need but require further study in order to properly determine the scope, feasibility, or cost of the project. Staff will have authority to develop plans and specifications for these projects to refine the projects for inclusion in next year's program. Projects in year three will be studied and preliminary plans and specifications prepared. The last five years of the program include projects that staff deems likely to be needed during this period. This portion of the program assists in financial planning and meets the requirements of the Metropolitan Council's investment framework. In 1998, legislation was passed (MS 473.621, Subd. 6 as amended) concerning local review of the CIP. The legislation requires the MAC to complete a process to provide "affected municipalities" surrounding the airport the opportunity for discussion and public participation in the MAC's CIP process. An "affected municipality" is a municipality that is either adjacent to a MAC airport, is within the noise zone of a MAC airport as defined in the Metropolitan Development Guide, or has notified the MAC that it considers itself an "affected municipality." Your community has been identified as an "affected municipality" by Meiropolitan Council staff based upon the criteria as defined in the statute. The legislation requires that the MAC provide adequate and timely notice including a description of the projects in the CIP to each affected municipality. The notices must include agendas and rneeting minutes at which the proposed CIP was to be discussed or voted on in order to provide the municipalities the opportunity to solicit public comment and participate in the development of the CIP on an ongoing basis. Comments received from the affected municipalities will be reviewed and a response developed. As has been done since 1999, the MAC has developed a schedule that will allow the affected municipafities the opportunity to participate in the CIP process.

In addition, Environmental Assessment Worksheets (EAWs) must be prepared for individual projects in the program that meet certain criteria. Where State and/or Federal Environmental assessments or impact statements, have been prepared, that information is included in the cumulative assessment. The law provides for public review of the assessments in accordance with the rules of the Environmental Quality Board (EQB). The EQB rules set forth mandatory review (including holding a public hearing), waiting and decision periods that must be coordinated with Commission and Committee meetings of the MAC. In addition, in 1998, legislation was passed (MS §473.621; subd. 6 as amended) concerning local review of the CIP. The legislation requires the Commission to complete a process to provide "affected municipalities" surrounding the airport the opportunity for discussion and public participation in the -_.
