CITY COUNCIL UPI�OLDS EIR ON TERMINAL Ih This �ssue... �
; , , ..�. , �
In what was described as a tense and sometimes rancorous meeting, the Long
Beach City Council June 20 upheld the Environmental Impact Report (EIR) on a
new terminal at Long Beach Airport and approved a site pian for an airport
terminal that was smaller than city officials wanted but larger than some residents
opposed to expanding the in-town airport sought.
The City Council rejected an appeal by 49 city residents to overturn an earlier
Long Beach Planning Commission vote certifying the EIIZ.
The Council then narrowly approved a site plan for a 97,545 square-foot terminal,
smaller than the 133,000 square-foot terminal size sought by city o�cials but larger
than the 79,000 square-foot terminal demanded by some council members and
residenis.
The City Council has not yet made a final decision on whether to replace the
airport terminal, which was built in 1941 to handle DC-3 aircraft and was expanded
somewhat in 1984 to handle overflowing passengers, and how to fund the project.
In what could make the new terminal project more palatable to the community,
the EIR. certification includes provisions for a sound insulation program for homes

On 7une 15, American and Southwest Airlines ended a long-running battle and
reached agreement on dropping the Wright Amendment, a 27-year-old federal law
restricting long-haul flights by Southwest out of Dallas Love Field to only a few
neighboring states.
American had for years sought to retain the restriction, fearing long-haul flights
out of Love Field by Southwest would hurt its operations at nearby Dallas-Ft.
Worth International Airport.
Both airlines concluded, however, that it was to their benefit to set the terms of
the agreement rather than having Congress do so. Congress, which has been
steadily chipping away at the Wright Amendment, must still pass a law revising it
by the end of the year in order for the airlines' agreement to take effect.
The agreement also was signed by the mayors of Dallas and Ft. Worth.
Under the deal struck by the local officials and the airlines, restrictions on long-
haul flights out of Love Field will end in eight years, connecting flights will be
allowed immediately, and the number of gates at Love Field will be capped at 20.
Southwest will keep 16 gates and American and Continental Airlines will each
have two gates. If other airlines want to begin service at Love Field, the three
airlines already operating there will have to share their gates.

within the airport's 65-70 DNL contour based on previous
year contours (currently there are only 15), in exchange for
avigation easements. The insulation program also would
include schools within the airport's 60 DNL contour.
The EIR certification also limited the number of aircraft
parking spaces to 12, instead of 14. Currently there are 10
parking spaces for aircraft. The project would expand the
number of gates at Long Beach Airport from eight to 1 l.
Between August 2001 and 2003, the number of passengers
using the airport increased from 600,000 to 3 million annually
mainly because of increased commercial flights.
Noise Ordinance Grandfathered
In 1981, the City of Long Beach adopted a noise control
ordinance limiting the number of air carrier flights to 15 per
day and requiring the use of quieter airplanes. The airlines
challenged the ordinance and, in an effort to avoid pro-
tracted litigation, entered into a settlement agreement with
the city under which a new Airport Noise Compatibility
Ordinance was adopted which allowed air carriers to operate
a minimum of 41 flights per day and commuter carriers to
operate a minimum of 25 flights per day. That ordinance was
grandfathered under the federal Airport Noise and Capacity
Act of 1990 (ANCA). In May 2003, the FAA reaffirmed the
grandfathered status of the ordinance.
Because the Long Beach ordinance is based on cumula-
tive noise impact, additional commuter and air carrier flights
can be accommodated if they do not exceed their respective
Community Noise Equivalent Level (CNEL) limits stipulated
in the ordinance.
The terminal area improvements sought by the city are
designed to accommodate 4.2 million annual passengers,
which is the total anticipated with the minimum number of
flights allowed under the city's airport noise ordinance.
Love �ield, fi�om p. 77
American Airlines said it decided to sign the agreement on
the Wright Amendment because it limits the size of Love
Field and includes enforcement provisions: two factors that
were crucial to American.
Southwest Airlines reportedly balked at the agreement
initialiy because it included a nine-year waiting period for
non-stop long-haul flights (which was later dropped to eight
years) and because the airline felt that 16 gates were not
enough to allow it to grow. However, foliowing hours of
negotiation, Southwest officials acquiesced.
DFW International Executive Director Jeff Fegan told the
Star Telegram that he believes the agreement "will eliminate
a great uncertainty that has palgued our airport over the
years" and will help DFW "adjust our business plans as
well as adjust for the future." DFW, he said, "can continue
to grow and continue to be the economic engine of North
Texas."
Southwest Chairman Herb Kelleher, said the end of the
long battle over the Wright Amendment signals that "there
surely must be hope for world peace."

REP. POE SECURES $750,000 ( ��-
FOR NOISE IN FUNDING BILL �
Texas congressman Ted Poe (R) has secured $750,000 in
the fiscal 2007 appropriations bili for the Federal Aviation
Administration which he wants used specifically for the
acquisition and sound insulation of homes near Houston
Bush Intercontinental Airport where residents have been
complaining about noise since a new runway opened over
three years ago.
In a June 14 press release, Poe, who serves on the House
Transportation Aviation Subcommittee, said that the
$750,000 "will not be subject to the FAA's determination and
will be above the normal discretionary allocations to Bush
Intercontinental for noise mitigation."
"For the first time," said Poe, "we are embarking on new
ground in government funding. While $750,000 is a small
amount in comparison to the needs of the communiiy, I was
able to secure this specifically for noise reduction at Inter-
continental Airport and it is only the beginning."
On June 14, the House of Representatives, on a vote of 406
to 22, approved its version of the fiscal 2007 Transportation-
Treasury appropriations bill, which provides funding for the
FAA and the federal Airport Improvement Program (AIP)
through which federal grants are distributed to airports.
The Senate has not yet passed its version of the bill.
]Hfigh Priority]P�-oject
The House report on its appropriations legislation lists
Poe's $750,000 for an "Airport Noise Project" at Bush
Intercontinental as a high priority airport project. It was the
only "high priority" project among the 80 designated in the
bill that specifically addresses noise.
In an effort to address the noise problem caused by the
opening of the new runway at Bush Intercontinental, Poe
said he established an Airport Noise Task Force comprised
of representatives of the FAA, area chambers of commerce,
air traffic controllers, Continental Airlines, the Houston
Airport System, local officials, homeowners impacted by the
noise, and two grassroots comnnunity groups that were
formed to address the noise problem: CITAIZGE (Coalition of
Homeowners Associations Requiring Government Equity)
and the West 45 Noise Group, an offshoot of CITAIRGE.
"This has been a great opportunity for all sides of the table
to come together and work towards solutions," Poe said. "As
a result of these meetings like with most things, money was
the bottom line. I am no stranger to innovative thinking and
we learned this year that new doors can be opened and I will
continue to find new solutions to old government problems."
Airport officials said they would be pleased to receive the
additional noise mitigation funding that Poe had secured but
they would determine how best to use it.
Meanwhile, members of the homeowners groups who live
under the flight path of the new runway said June 22 that
they want a solid noise reduction plan in place within the
Airport Noise Report
June 28, 2006
next six months. The West 45 Noise Group wants the airport,
airlines, and FAA fo agree on noise abatement procedures
as well as penalties for violating them.
House Appropriations Bill
The FAA will not calculate the aircraft noise and emissions
set-aside in the AIP program until the House and Senate
have both passed fiscal 2007 appropriations bills and ironed
out the differences between them in conference.
But overall FAA funding levels in the House bill are
available. The House bill provides a total of $15.2 billion to
the FAA, which is $1.4 biilion above the enacted level in
fisca12006 and $2.4 billion above what President Bush �
requested for fscal 2007.
The bill includes $16 million to hire and train 132 new air
traffic controllers and an additional $12 million above the
President's request to hire and train safety inspectors in the
FAA office of aircraft certification and flight standards.
In terms of AIP grants, the House bill limits obligations to
$3.7 billion for fisca12007. This is $950 million above the
President's budget request and $185 million above the fiscal
20061eve1.
In terms of research, engineering, and development, the
House bill provides $10 million for the new Airport Coopera-
tive Research Program and $16,008,000 for research on
environment and energy (compared to $15,840,000 provided
in fisca12006).

The Federal Aviation Administration recently announced
its approval of Part 150 airport noise mitigation programs for
Scottsdale (AZ) Airport and Southwest Florida International
Airport in Fort Myers, FL.
FAA granted outright approval to 27 of the 30 proposed
noise mitigation measures in the Scottsdale program on June
19. Measures not approved by the agency included encour-
aging the use of published approach patterns for one
runway, encouraging FAA to chart visual flight procedures
to a runway, and construction of an engine run-up enclo-
sure.
Among the noise mitigation measures approved in the
Scottsdale Part 150 program were continuation of several
noise abatement approach and departure procedures,
continuation of a ban on nighttime touch-and-go operations
and engine run-up procedures, relocation of the engine run-
up area, adoption of noise overlay zones by the cities of
Scottsdale and Phoenix, and consideration of zoning
amendments by Scottsdale to require avigation easements
and disclosure.
The FAA's Record of Approval of the Scottsdale Part 150
program will be available on-line at http://www.faa.gov/arp/
environmental/14cfr150/index 14.cfin.

For further information on the Scottsdale program, contact
Michelle Simmons, an environmental specialist in FAA's
Westem-PacificRegion;tel:(310)725 �614.
SW Florida Program
The FAA on June 23 announced its approval of four of
the five proposed noise mitigation measures included in the
Part 150 program for Souehwest Florida International Airport.
The agency disapproved a proposal to modify an exiting
voluntary noise mitigation departure procedure pending
submission of additional information documenting the noise
benefits of the change. However, the agency approved
continued use of the procedure, which was approved in an
earlier Part 150 study as a means to move overflights away
from a school.
The four measures approved by the FAA were continued
use of existing noise mitigation departure and approach
procedures, purchase and installation of flight tracking
equipment, monitoring and evaluation of the benefits of a
curved RNAV (Area Navigation) approach to one runway,
and updating noise overlay zones.
The FAA's Record of Approval for Southwest Florida
International's Part 150 program will be available on-line at
the website listed above.

Class Aciion Status So�ght in M[S�' I.,avt�suit
Homeowners in the cities of Minneapolis and Richfield, MN, asked a
Hennepin County judge on June 21 to certify as a class homes around
Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport. The class could include as many
as 3,500 homes.
The legal action is separate from but related to a lawsuit filed in April 2005
by the cities of Minneapolis, Richfield, and Eagan,�MN, against the Metro-
politan Airports Authority (MAC), the proprietor of MSP International, over
the extent of the airport's sound insulation program.
The three cities asserted in their lawsuit that the MAC had broken a promise
to them by not providing the full sound insulation package to homes in the
60-64 contour ofMSP International (17 ANR 3 8). In December 2005, a
Hennepin County Judge denied a motion by the MAC and Northwest Airlines
to dismiss the litigation (17 ANR 175). More on this in the next issue.

St. Paul, MN 55155
Dear Eagan Legislafiive Delegation:
As a community impacied by three runways at MSP Internationa.l Airport, it is extremely
important that the City of Eagan be well represented on the Metropolitan Airport Commission
(MAC). In order to receive the representation the communiry deserves, the Eagan City Council,
at the recomm.endation of the Eagan Auport Relations Commission, would like io get your
input and position on two proposed options for changes in how the Cify's representation on the
MAC is determisied. .
As you well know, with the opening of Runway 17/35 in October of 2005 and with the existing
operations off of the parallel nuiways over northeast Eagan, the entire City is uow impacted by
__ ___ _airpori noise= to -var-y_ing-_exients=--Moreover, as-the- home to-Northvvest- Airlines - Mesaba-- and
- - - --__ _ ___ ------�------� _ - _ _
numerous transportation companies that utilize MSP, the aviation industry and the success of
� � MSP is critical to our community. Given both the noise over the community and the value
-' placed on the aviation industry, the City of Eagan's representation on ihe•MAC is of uhnost
irnportance to our community.
Under current State law, the MAC Comtnissioners are appointed by the Governor, with the
exception of the Coinmissioners serving the cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul, who are
appointed by their communities' respective Mayors. The City of Eagan is currently represented
i��r tyce?'i' MCl��Sv� �rnpgP riictrici coveTs aLrnosT �� oT �?koia �ot?niy, r�r►g??g T?'4m �he �?iy oi
Eagan ira the north to Sciota Township in the south (see attached map). It has been the City's
experience that the posiiions of our representative on the MAC oftentimes do not reflect the
positions of the City of Eagan, particularly as it relates to noise abatement and mitigation.
Furthermore, as an appointee by the Governor, our representative rarely, if ever, contacts the
City for input on any given decision being brought before the MAC.
Given the lack of representation that the City is currently receiving on the MAC, the City is
proposing one of two options for changes on the MAC, both of which would require
Legislative action. For this reason, the City is seeking your feedback on the proposed changes.
Option #1
Like the cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul, the City of Eagan is greatly impacted by MSP
Airport and would request a permanent seat on th.e MAC to be appointed by the Eagan City
Council.
City of Eagan / MAC Representation
March 16, 2006
Page 2
Option #2
In addition to Minneapolis and St. Paul having their own seats on the MAC, there are also
MAC Cominissioners who represent greater Minnesota, including representatives from Duluth
and St. Cloud. It seems logical that if greater Minnesota and the core cities have representation
on the MAC, so too should the communities most impacted by the airport's operations.
There are four communities that encompass ihe 65 DNL noise contours that do not currently
have their own representa.tion on the MA.C—Eagan., Sloomington, Richfield, and Mendota
Heights. It is suggested that at an-large seat either be reassigned to represent the cities in the 65
DNL contour or an at-large seat be added to the MAC in order to allow these four
communities, on a rotating basis, to have a single representative on the MA.C.
• Lastly, as a request for consideration, given the population shifts and impact of the airport on
certain commu.nities, there is a definite need to adjust the cuzrent MAC disiricts. The City
understands thai the districting for the MAC coincides with the Metropolitan Council disfiricts;
however, iumpact of the airport, both positively and negatively, should be a consideration when
- - det�ining-representation on the-Mf�C: -Clearly-Eagan� is-impaeied-far greater and- differently
by the operations at MSP than Sciota Township in southern Dakota Couniy is, yet, our
communities have ihe same representation. The MAC disiricts need to beiter reflect populat{ _
concentrations and the impact of MSP, and thus redistricting should be stxongly considered.
As representatives of the City of Eagan, you know how im.portant it is that the City's interests
and positions be heard on the MAC so that the needs of the aviaiion industry are balanced with
the needs of our residents' quality of life. Therefore, if you could please share with the City
your feedback to the two options set forth in this letter, andJor any input you have pertaining to
our representation on the NiAC, it wouid be greatiy appreciaied. �.Jpon hearing from each oz
you, the City will then determine whether to seek the introduction of legislation during this
session to address the issue of Eagan's representation on the MAC.
Thank you in advance for your consideration of the Ciiy's proposal. If you have any questions,
please feel free to call me or City Administrator Hedges at (651)675-5001. T look forward to
hearing from you very soon, and wish you the best as you begin this legislative session.
Sincerely,
Pat Geagan

TO: MSP Noise Oversight Committee (NOC)
FROM: Chad E. Leqve, Manager — Aviation Noise and Satellite Programs
SUBJECT: UPDATE ON RUNWAY 17 190-DEGREE DEPARTURE HEADING
DATE: July 5, 2006
At the May 17, 2006 Noise Oversight Committee (NOC) meeting extensive discussion focused on
the FAA's use of the 190-degree westbound departure heading ofF Runway 17 when the airport
is in a southeast operational configuration (arriving and departing Runways 12L &12R).
Following the Committee discussion, which included consideration of a May 15, 2006 letter from
Carl Rydeen, MSP Tower Manager, and testimony from the City of Burnsville, the NOC voted
unanimously to forward a letter to the FAA requesting answers to the questions raised by the
City of Burnsville. Pursuant to the Committee action, on May 19, 2006 a letter from Co-Chairs
Kathleen Nelson and Vern Wilcox was sent to the FAA (see Attachment 1).
Following the May 19th NOC letter, on June 6, 2006 State Representative Tim Wilkin and State
Senator Mike McGinn sent a similar letter to the FAA regarding the FAA's use of the 190-degree
departure heading off Runway 17 (see Attachment 2).
�' � More recently, a letter was received on June 12, 2006 (dated June 2, 2006) from Ms. Annette
Davis, FAA Great Lakes Region Acting Manager — Airspace and Procedures Branch, that
responded to the N�y 19th NOC letter (see Attachment 3). As referenced in Ms. Davis's letter,
on June 19, 2006 the FAA commenced use of a 200-degree departure heading off Runway 17
when the airport is in a southeast operational configuration for a study period of one month.
At the July 19, 2006 NOC meeting Mr. Carl Rydeen, MSP Tower Manager, will be present to
address the Committee regarding the FAA's position on this topic and the technical
considerations related to airspace use/design and departures off Runway 17 at MSP.

Pa�� A-�1 of the EA st�tes �hat when aircra� are ar�iv�ng �t.unways 12R. a,r�d 12L,, the airspace
i�cIusive r�£the 23� deg�ee ta 2$5 tiegree tracks wauld be nat�tx�ally used %r arrivais. As such,
aircra#'t departirzg Runway 1.7 would ngt nor�nally be asszg�ied to a heading west of 230 ttegraes.
T�e Iangua�e in the EA dtr�s n�t state that in a11 in.stan.ces depaa�ure aircza� vvouid be assigned
heacii€�g �30. Page A-9 of the �A esti�nates ttse of`the �30 degree �eading to be 7.9 percent oi� a
�early basis. t�.t t�e pr�s�nt tzrne ther� is na data thaY reveals how the runways are b�ing used c�rz a

Qperatior�al conditions, ar erther facto�s preclude the praeed�.re fram being safely ezxzploy�d.
Furthermore, page 14 of #he �'flNS� siat�s that the noise abatemeni dspa,rture praaedures would not

condit�c��ns. It is impc�rtant tc� note that when I2.unways 34R and 30L are zn use, which is
appra�irnately Stl pe�cen.t of the time, aircraft are assi�ed a heading of 230 de,g�es.
Pag� A.-8 o�t�e EA s�a.tes that air �ffic assigns �,�adi�gs ir� S de�ree incre�nents and anay assign

As stat�d ic� Ivlr. Ryd��uu'� lett�r, th� FAA is vvc�rki�g to atl��at� the a�ver-�igk�t co�c�rns vaz��d by
