CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS DAKOTA COUNTX, NIINNESOTA AIRPORT RELATIONS COn�IlVIISSION MINUTES JANUARY 10, 2007 The regular meeting of the Mendota Heights Airport Relations Commission was held on Wednesday, January 10, 2007, at 7:00 p.m., in the Large Conference Room at City Ha11, 1101 Victoria Curve, Mendota Heights, Minnesota. The following Commissioners were present: Liz Petschel, Chair; Vern Edstrom, Robin Ehxlich, Brian Li�uiihan, Dave Sloan, and Ellsworth Stein. Also present were: Jim Danielson, City Administrator; Jake Sedlacek, Assistant to the City Administrator; and Mary Heintz, Recorder. Not Present: Bill Dunn, Coznmissioner. Chair Petschel opened the meeting and requested the addition of AR.0 Appointments to the agenda. Apuroval of Minutes Chair Petschel requested amendments to the submitted meeting minutes: • October 11, 2006 -- Change "operation" to "operations" in the first line of the first paragraph under B. Runway 12L Departure Numbers. • November 22, 2006 -- Change wording to "1) Ea�._a.t�/Mendota Heights corridor" in the fourth line of the fifth paragraph on page two and add wording to "230-de ree headin was not used" in the second line of the sixth paragraph on page seven. A motion was made by Commissioner Edstrom, seconded by Commissioner Ellsworth, to approve the October 11, 2006, and November 22, 2006, Airport Relations Comrnission Meeting minutes as amended. Unfnished and New Business A. Legislative Workshop Update The City Administrator reported that he and the Assistant to the City Administrator attended a Legislative meeting in Minneapolis on Dece 18 which was well attended by Legislators, including Minneapolis Mayor R.T. R ek, u overall was negative about adding to MAC. He said Mayor Rybek had sugges ed•a�lalt ate plan, to totally revamp MAC with a Twin Cities MAC focused solely on P Airport and outstate smaller MACS throughout the State which would be focused on those areas. Commission Meeting — Jarmary 10, 2007 - Mendota Heights Airport Relations Commission He said the subject of adding to MAC had been brought before the Legislature before but never progressed and that Minneapolis was pushing the bi11 again, which would help � ARC. The Assistant to the City Administrator added that the plan would allow for movernent e�ciency within the State. The subject was raised about the possibility of the reliever airports taking on more responsibility for passengers and cargo. Chair Petschel stated that there was a different Legislature in place now and the subject with persistence would not die, also noting Senator James Metzen's previously-sta.ted support. The Assistant to the City Administrator added that it was important to keep the issue in the public eye and keep the conversation going. The City Administrator reported that Representative Rick Hansen, at the end of the December meeting, said he would initiate the legislation. He referenced the Airport 101 documentation that had been distributed at the meeting and said he would save the master. Chair Petschel requested that the document be made available to nevc� ARC rnembers and suggested that the Cornmissioners keep it in their files, as it was helpfui information. Commissioner Linnihan inquired about the next steps. The City Administrator responded that it was in the Legislature's hands. The Assistant to the City Administrator suggested that Chair Petschel send a friendly reminder to Legislators. The City Administrator agreed to send Senator Metzen's and Representative Hansen's email addresses to the Commissioners, for personal letters they may wish to write to them. Commissioner Sloan � stated the importance of getting representation from outlying suburbs. � B. Runway 17/35 Impacts Update Discussion Chair Petschel gave an overview of the November 22 meeting and said Mr. Carl Rydeen had confirmed that he was aware of the EIS violation but did not want to t�i planes across 12R, which would make 12L busier and not meet Mendota Heights' promised percentages. She said he also admitted that he'd had complete input, had signed off on the documentation, and "could make it happen" if he wanted to. Chair Petschel said that Mr. Rydeen's decision to not cross runways would bury Mendota Heights. Commissioner Linnihan stated that there were other airports which crossed runways and questioned whether Mr. Rydeen's reluctance was because it was just easier not to. Commissioner Sloan added that was it also bureaucracy. Commissioner Ehrlich commented that large cues forced distribution of planes and the process utilized now was to take off on the closest runways. Chair Petschel reiterated Mayor Huber's concern that it would soon become the standard operating procedure and rapid intervention would be needed. ('; 0 Commission Meeting — January 10, 2007 Mendota Heights Airport Relations Commission ,`', Chair Petschel reported on Burnsville's procedures through NOC to get action on their issues regarding 17/35. She said it had been recommended that a letter from NOC would be taken much more seriously by MAC than a letter from the City to the Tower andlor the FAA. Chair Petschel went on fiu�ther to say that Burnsviile had also contacted local and national Legislators imme�%����� to inform them of the violation of the environmental impact sta.tement and that had been non-responsive. She said Councilmember Ultan Duggan planned to raise the issue at the next NOC meeting and Mendota Heights had never been against carrying a fa.ir share of air noise. Chair Petschel recommended that the focus of the City's complaint be the violation of the environmental impact statement, rather than referring to the promised relief. The City Administrator then cited specific information in the FAA Record of Decisions of September 1998 documenting MAC's extensive input and signing off all the way along. • Page 4, FA.A Approvals —"This ROD provides final approval for the federal actions necessary to support the construction and operation of a new carrier length runway, designated Runway 17/35, as well as related facilities at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport (MSP). Air Traffic. The proposed action will require that the FAA's Air Tra�c Division -- ) expand the Class B airspace suxrounding MSP and establish new air traffic control (,_ procedures, consistent with the information contained in the FEIS. Related Air Tra�c actions may also involved redesign of the terminal radar appxoach conirol (TRACOI� airspace surrounding MSP." s Page 1 l, FAA's Role in the Dual Track Process — "Throughout this extensive process, the FAA has monitored the methods and procedures used by the MAC in arriving at a preferred alternative. The FAA assisted in the analysis by providing guidance and advice in various technical committees. "In addition to jointly preparing the Draft and Final EISs, the FAA has independently reviewed and evaluated ali of the material presented in the scoping and environmental documents, and critical portions of the material have been independently verified." • Page 56, D. The interests of the cornmunity in or near which the project may be located have been given fair consideration (49 USC 47106 (b) (2)) — "This determination is supported by a long history of communication between the MAC and the surrounding political jurisdictions, documented in the FEIS and the beginning at the earliest project planning stages when the Dual Track Airport Planning Process was mandated by the Minnesota Legislature. � Commission Meeting — January 10, 2007 Mendota Heights Airport Relations Commission "Through the course of preparing numerous planning and environmental studies, providing for committee struciures and public hearings, and as a result of the State's � legislative mandates, the participation process has remained open and available to � interested parties. The MAC has executed agreements with surrounding communities and special interests (historic, noise, refuse, surface transportation, etc.) in consideration of concerns and commitments of �, i�rr�er�sted parties regarding the proposed project. Further, the MAC is currently in the�process of adopting contracts with affected communities regarding the planning and development of a north parallel runway. The language in force or proposed in these contracts generally provides that the communities will not oppose construction of the new north-south runway while the MAC agrees to not advocate the construction of a north parallel nulway, nor construct such a runway, for an extended time period (the actual or proposed contract terms extend as far into the future as 2050). "Consistent with FAA commitments made to the City of Minneapolis, MSP control tower personnel will utilize Runway 17/35 in accordance with the conditions set forth in the Dual Track Airport Pianning Process FEIS, Appendix A, page A3-17. Therefore, tower personnel will utilize Runway 17/35 so that the runway is not used for departures to the north and arrivals to the south; except under the following limited circumstances, described on page A.3-17 of the FEIS (1) safety reasons; (2) weather conditions; or (3) temporary runway closures due to snow removal, due to construction, or due to other activities at the airport." s Page A.3-17, Dual Track Final EIS — "Runway use for the MSP Alternative.....Runway 12L, 7.4 percent of departures, 21.3 percent of arrivals." Chair Petschel stated that the goal would be to coach Councilmember Duggan in advance of the NOC meeting he will attend in late January. She expressed anger with the Corridor Analysis numbers of nighttime flights over the City — 40% in August and 37% in November — and said the issue needed to be raised. The Assistant to the City Administrator noted that there had been an increase of 100 flights over the previous year. Chair Petschel said she sensed urgency and the next steps would be to go to NOC and the Legisiature, adding that the subject would likely be a high priority for the City Mayor and Council, as thousands of residents in the City and surrounding areas south of 110 were being affected. The Commissioners all agreed. It was decided that Commissioners would communicate via email as to how the NOC meeting goes. The City Administxator stated that he and Chair Petschel would meet with Councilmember Duggan by the end of the week. L� Commission Meeting — January 10, 2007 Mendota Heights Airport Relations Commission ' � Commissioner Linnihan suggested that a recommendation be made to the City Council following the NOC meeting and it would be their decision to decide whether it was as urgent as the Commission felt it was. The City Administrator added that he would bring up the subject at the Council Workshop on February 9. C. ARC Appointments Chair Petschel announced Cornmissioner Edstrom's plan to resign from ARC and appealed to Commissioners for potential candidates. Commissioner Edstrom suggested that a Northwest Airlines pilot would be a good choice. The City Administrator reported that the City had received names of nine applicants for five openings and he would query all applicants about their interest in ARC. He suggested in particular poug Hennes, vice president at St. Thomas, who Chair Petschel was acquainted with and who, she said, would be a wonderful addition. Other Commissioner Comments or Concerns The Assistant to the City Administrator reported that John Roszak had spent four hours the previous Saturday assisting him in going through and merging extensive files from various administrators. He invited any interested Comzriissioners to assist them in the next session, scheduled for January 13 at 9 a.m. in the lower level of City Hall. Commissioner Ehrlich asked for insight in how to make sense of the previously-distributed capital improvement budget. Chair Petschel said that Commissioners would want to read the sections identifying hot topics at the Airport, to see if those items would be in the budget and how money was being spent. She said the other thing to keep an eye on would be the 20/20 plan and whether money had been devoted for the big expansion at the Humphrey Terminal, which ARC had been trying to fight.

As such, your continued attendance and participation at Noise Oversight Committee (NOC) meetings is appreciated. As you witnessed at the January 17, 2007 NOC meeting, the communities around MSP have expressed significant concern with the FAA's runway use practices during the first full twelve months of Runway 17/35 operations at MSP. Since the opening of Runway 17/35 at MSP in October 2005, the Noise Oversight Committee (NOC) has been reviewing the use statistics associated with the FAA's operational integration of the runway. Prior to the opening of Runway 17/35, the Metropolitan Airparts Commission (MAC) and the communities surrounding MSP anticipated impacts associated with the new runway would be in accordance with the provisions published in the following documents: • March 1998 Dual-Track Airport Planning Process Final Envirr�nmenta! Impact Statement (FEIS} • September 1998 Record of Decision (ROD) approving the March 1998 FEIS s July 2003 Runway 17 Departure Procedure Environmental Assessment (EA) • August 2003 Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI)/Record of Decision (ROD) approving the July 2003 Runway 17 Departure Procedure EA • November 2004 MSP 14 C.F.R. Part 150 Update document It is impo�tant to highlight the extensive planning process and the consultation and coordination that went into the development of Runway 17J35 at MSP. This planning process adhered to FAA guidance under the provisions of FAA Order 5050.4 and FAA Order 1050.1. It was thraugh this process that the above-listed documents were developed. In the months following the opening of Runway 17/35 the communities surrounding MSP began to express concern regarding the actuai runway use figures as compared to the runway use numbers published in the environmental documentation leading up to the runway opening. On October 27, 2006 Runway 17/35 was operational for a fulf year. As such, a good data sample is available to conduct an analysis of runway use with Runway 17/35 in operation at MSP. ( j ������ -�� The following provides background and analysis of the existing runway use trends at MSP in relation to the planned runway use in the environmental documentation leading up to the January 25, 2007 Mr. Rydeen Page 2 opening of Runway 17/35 at MSP, and a request for the FAA's response to related questions raised by the NOC. Backqrvund In 1989 the Minnesota State Legislature passed the Metropolitan Airport Planning Act requiring the MAC and the Metropolitan Council ta evaluate airport infrastructure needs in the Twin Cities. Subsequently, in 1990 the Dual-Track Airport Planning Process began, which evaluated the expansian of MSP at the present site, as well as an airport relocation option to meet future air __ travel demands. In 1996 the Minnesota State Legislature acted to end the planning process and directed the expansion of MSP at its present site to meet future facility needs to the year 2010. Per federal and state environmental laws, the MAC and the FAA finalized the environmental documentation associated with the airport expansion in the form of an FEIS that was made available for review and approval in May 1998. In September 1998 the FAA issued a ROD approving the May 1998 FEIS, paving the way for the airport expansian. The development of the FEIS and the associated ROD included extensive operational � evaluations overseen and driven by FAA Air Traffic Control represen#atives. The FAA conducted ' - independent airspace and airfield capacity studies for MSP as part of the planning process.' This resulted in the development of various airport operational assumptions that were incorporated into the environmental analysis conducted to assess the impact of the expansion of MSP. This included planned runway use. Specifically, the May 1998 Dual track FEIS stated the following on page I-6: "Table A.3-7 (Runway Use for the MSP Alternative — Average Annual Use) shows the percentage of annual operations that are expected to occur in achieving operational goals for use af the new north-south runway, as well as the other runways at MSP...FAA Air Tra�c will esfablish the finat procedures consisfent with the conditions set forfh in fhis FEIS for atl runwav ends and for airspace at MSP followinp the Record of Decision." (emphasis added) The following is Table A.3-7 out of the FEIS: ' FAA Recorci of Deasion, Minneapolis-Sk Paul intemational Airport Dual Track Airport Planning Pra�ess, Sep�emher 1998, p.55. . . .... .. . �. . ..�. t .

(emphasis added) Subsequently, page 4 of the September 1998 ROD provides a{ist of required actions a part of the proposed action stating the following with regard to FAA Air T�affic Cont�ol: "Air Traffic. The proposed action will require that the FAA's Air Tra�c Division expand the Class B airspace surrounding MSP and establish new air tra�c procedures, consisteni with the information cantained in fhe FEIS. Related Air Traffic actions may also involve redesign of the terminal radar approach control (TRACON) airspace surrvunding MSP." (emphasis added) In 1999 the MAC began construction of the 2010 airport expansion project. Simultaneously the MAC began the process of updating the Part 150 Noise Compatibility Program (NCP) and Noise Exposure Map (NEM). As committed to in the above-detailed Dua!-Track Planning process, the MAC, along with the communities surrounding MSP, began analyzing variaus options for a departure procedure off Runway 17 to reduce noise impacts in the City of Bloomington. Fallowing the deterrnination of a possible option through the Part 150 Update, an EA process commenced for implementation of the Runway 17 departure procedure prior to the opening of Runway 17/35. The catalyst for the EA was the FAA's position that an air tra�c contral procedure change not anticipated in the Dual-Track FEIS, which routinely routed air traffic over noise sensitive areas at less than 3,000 feet AGL, required an evaluation consistent with FAA Order 1050.1. The July 2003 Runway 17 Departure Procedure EA (for the 2.5 nautical mile turn point for westbound departures off Runway 17) included implementation of the Runway Use System January 25, 2007 Mr. Rydeen Page 4 (RUS as detailed in the November 2001 MSP Part 150 Update document) which resulted in minor changes from the runway use percentages in the FEIS. However, as stated on page A-7 of the EA: "Due to the cansistency between the Part 150 Update RUS evaluation criteria and the criteria utilized as part of the EIS proeess, the change to the environment around MSP is minimal. Because there is no significant change in the noise environment around MSP as a result of the RUS modificatian, the modifications are not subject to further environmental review." Below is Table A-6 from page A-7 of the EA, which provides the approved updated runway use percentages with Runway 17/35 in operation.

The foliowing provides a summary of the findings. Nighttime Runway Use Percentages: Nighttirne arrival operation runway use percentages on the south parallei, Runway 12R and Runway 30L, are over forecast by 11.4% and 13.0%, respectively. It appears that the primary factor affecting the use percentages on the south parallel is the fact that Runway 35 arrival runway use percentage is lower than forecast by 13.0%. Nighttime departure operation runway use percentages are higher than forecast by 15.6% on Runway 30�, 5.3% on Runway 30R and 7.8% on Runway 12L. It appears that the primary factor affecting these departure runway use percentages is Runway 17 usage, which is lower than forecasted by 31.8%. Total Runway Use Percentages: Arrival operations are trending weli with the forecasted runway use percentages. The oniy notable difference is the arrival percentage on Runway 12R where the actual percentage is greater than forecast by 7.5%. It appears that this is a resuit of focused use of Runway 12R to accommodate arrival demand during southeast operational flows. In the case of departure operations, Runways 12L, 30L and 30R are over forecast runway use percentages by 9.2%, 11.7% January 25, 2007 Mr. Rydeen Page 8 and 5.7%, respectively. The Runway 17 runway use departure percentage is lower than forecasted by 21.9%. It appears that these differences are being driven differently during southeast and northwest operational configurations. Specifically, in a southeast aperational con�guration the airport is operating with lower than anticipated use of Runway 12R and Runway 17. 2 Conversely, in a northwest operational configuration it appears that the differences are being driven by a higher frequency of Runway 35 arrivals than Runway 17 departure operations whiie arrival and departure operations are occurring on Runways 30L and 30R. In consideration of the actual runway use percentages, it is also helpful to consider the number of operations which result on a given runway as a factar of the total number of overall airport operations when assessing the impact of actual runway use percentages. The 2005 forecasted number of operations in the July 2003 Runway 17 Departure Procedure EA was 575,000 total MSP operations. Fram December 2005 to November 2006 the total number of airport operations as reported by ANOMS was 469,460. The following table applies the forecast and actual totat operation numbers to the respective runway use percentages detaiied previously.

Mr. Rydeen Page 9 As provided in the above table, regardless of the overall reduction in total operations frorn the forecast to the actual, average daily arrival operations are higher than forecasted on Runway 12R and actual average daily departure operations are higher than forecasted on Runways 12L, 30L and 30R. Repuest In consideration of the background and analysis contained in this letter and the comments presented at the January 17, 2007 NOC meeting, the NOC unanimously voted to forward the following questions to the FAA for a written �esponse: 1. The City of Mendota Heights feels it was promised relief in terms of noise impact reduction as a resuit of the opening of Runway 17/35. However, there has been an increase in operations over the City of Mendota Heights, particular{y nighttime operations. Why then is the FAA continuing ta operate the airport in a manner inconsistent with the runway use outlined in the Dual-Track FEIS, Dual-Track ROD, and the Runway 17 Departure Procedure EA/FONSI/ROD? 2. When can we anticipate runway use at MSP to become consistent with the runway use figures provided in the Dual-Track FEIS, Dual-Track ROD, and the Runway 17 Departure Procedure EA/FONSI/ROD? 3. What steps can be taken, or should be taken, to ensure that the FAA operates the airpprt in a manner consistent with the runway use outlined in the Dual-Track FEiS, Dual-Track ROD, and the Runway 17 Departure Procedure EA/FONSI/ROD? 4. Are Runways 30U12R and Runways 30R/12L operating at capacity and, if so, will any additional capacity/operations growth be occurring almost exclusively an Runway 17/35? 5. Given the facts that: (1) nighttime represents a low-demand operational period at MSP, (2) the FAA's runway use selection based on the Runway Use System (RUS) is most conducive during low-demand tirne periods, and (3) Runway 17 is the number finra priority for departure operatians behind use of Runway 12L and 12R in the RUS, how is it that nighttime departure operations on Runway 17 are lower than forecasted by 31.8%? 6. Is the FAA presently using Runway 17/35 primarily for the purpose of ineeting demand during high-use periods and secondarily for the purpose of noise redistribution? If so, is there a way to achieve more equitable noise distribution so that use of Runway 17/35 is brought into line with what was projected in the Dual-Track FEIS, Dual-Track ROD, and the Runway 17 Departure Procedure EA/FONSI/ROD? 7. If the FAA continues to operate inconsistent with the Dual-Track FEIS, Dual-Track ROD, and the Runway 17 Departure Procedure EA/FONSI/ROD, or is of the position that the assumptions and associated runway use information within these documents are not valid, when will action be taken by the FAA to initiate an Environrnental Assessment and/or Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)? We are forwarding the above seven questions on behalf of the N4C and look forward to your response. January 25, 2007 Mr. Rydeen Page 10 As always, fhank you for your consideration and attention to air tra�c noise issues around MSP.

The Act aims to transform the nation's air transportation systern through an integrated, multi-agency program. One specific purpose of NGATS is to connect the govemmental and private sector to focus on development and implementation of a new transportation system. NGATS operates through the Joint Planning and Development Office (JPDO), which consists of eight different product teams. These teams establish benchnnarks for success and a structure by which the nation can implement changes that need to be made to advance the aviation industry. NOISE is a member of the policy panel for the Environmental Integrated Product Team (EIPT). EIl'T specializes in environmental issues with both private and public sector experts to achieve that strategy's mission and objectives. CLEAN ENGINES, WINGS THAT FOLD: BOEING DREAMS OF FUTURISTIC JETS According to a May 5 report in the Seattle-Tirnes newspaper, Boeing has created small task groups to re-imagine the airplane in futurisiic configurations. The product development teams have produced designs that sport wings, tails and engines in unexpected shapes and places. The research aims for 1ow-cost and environmental-friendly planes that will be quieter, use less fuel and have fewer pollutants in the upper atmosphere. The low-cost team is studying the beneiits of long, thin wings and new engine types while the environmental- friendly team ("Green Team") has produced widely differing structures. The newspaper reports that it is too early to know if the models will actually become reality, but Boeing is reportedly more concerned with finding out which of the potential technologies make sense to develop in the future. The teams are expected to recommend features from their designs that could be used on replacements for the 737 single-aisle jet as soon as 2012. Director of the two design teams and vice president of product development at Boeing, Dan Mooney, aims to have an ongoing investment in the longer term as well as investment in the short terzn. He said he wants Boeing to be ready for whatever the future holds. �AYJET TO LAUNCH �E'LYING TAXIS TO SMALL CITIES IN THE SOUTHEAST DayJet Corporation imagines customers will be interested in replacing cars with planes on short trips frorn 100-300 miles. The company plans to launch passenger service in late 2006 between states in the Southeast including Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee. Day7et's air taxi business model will use "microjets" to allow jet service to many regional and local airports. The company has ordered 239 Eclipse 500 twin-engine jets from Eclipse Aviation in Albuguerque, New Mexico, retailing for $1.4 million each. Since each jet only has a maximum take-off weight of 5,920 pounds, they are exempt fronn the Stage 3 noise requirement, which affects commercial jets weighing over 75,000 pounds at take-off. DayJet's research shows that almost 40 million of the Southeast region's 52 million yearly business trips of between 100 and 700 miles are by road.

The company plans to set flight times and destinations according to customers' schedules and expects to charge between $1 and $3 per mile for short trips. Some industry analysts are warning against businesses getting too caught up in the small jet service saying it will be very di�cult to make a profit. Despite the warnings, the FAA estimates that 5,000 very-light jets will be flying by 2017. CONGRESS MOVING TO REPEAL OF LOVE FIELD / WRIGHT AMENDMENT The U.S. Congress is considering legislation that would repeal the Wright Amendment — enacted in 1980 to limit Southwest Airlines' flights out of its headquarters at Dallas Love Field to short-haul flights to a majority of southern states. Senator Kay Bailey Hutchinson (R-TX) recently proposed legislation (S. 3661) to enact a negotiated agreement between Southwest Airlines, American Airlines, the cities of Dallas-Fort Worth and the DFW International Airport. The Wright Annendment prevents Southwest from conducting flight operations from Love Field for flights of over 1,500 miles. The provision was enacted in 1980 to resolve a dispute between Southwest and the cities of Dallas-Fort Worth over aviation noise issues. Asea residents and communities are dissatisfied with the proposed legislation because it will likely increase the frequency of flights at the airport. S. 3661 was passed by the Senate Comznerce, Science, and Transportation Committee on July 19 and may soon be debated on the Senate floor. Sources indicate that the bill znay be attached by amendment to the FY2007 Transportation Appropriations bill (H.R. 5576) expected to pass after the November elections. This move would force the provision to be considered during Conference Committee negotiations later this year to reconcile the House and Senate versions of the bill. However, some Members have pledged to fight Senator Hutchinson's plan to tack the provision as an amendment to the appropriations bill.

The City Council voted to provide up to $375,000 to the Costa Mesa, CA, law firm Chevalier, Allen and Lichman to represent the city in the challenge and $57,000 to an Arizona aviation consulting firm, Williams Aviation Consulting, which has expertise in air tra�c issues. Barbara Lichman told ANR she expects to file a petition seeking review of the FAA's order approving the right tum in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit the week of 7an. 8. The Ninth Circuit, she said, is likely to ask the parties in the lawsuit to enter into mediation, which would provide an opportunity to discuss the matter with the FAA. Grounds for the challenge could include noise impact for those under the new flight path, safety issues arising from potential airspace conflicts with Nellis Air (Continued on p. 2) Research PARTIVER LAND USE, LFN PROJECT REPORTS DUE IN 2007, `NOISEQgT]ES'I'' TO BE LAUNC�-IEI) In the first six months of 2007, the research consortium PARTNER plans to issue reports on projects looking at land use planning around airports and factors that influence how people respond to low-frequency aircraft noise, and also plans to launch a new website called `NoiseQuest' that will provide educational materials on noise to both airports and communities. PARTNER (the Partnership for AiR Transportation Noise and Emissions Reduction) is a cooperative research organization sponsored by the Federal Aviation Administration, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, and Transport Canada that brings together government, academic, and aviation industry researchers to conduct studies in the areas of aircraft noise and emis- sions that will be used as the basis for future policy development. Some 18 PARTNER projects are currently underway and described at the organization's website (http://www.pariner.aero). The noise projects address low- frequency noise; noise measurement, metrics, and health effects; the Continuous Descent Arrival; land use management and airport controls; sonic boom mitiga- tion; and the development o£NoiseQuest.

But Mark Perryman, president of the airport consulting fum Landrum & Brown, which prepared the Environmental Assessment for the new deparhue path, said that the right turn departure procedure has been structured so that no approval from Nellis is needed for planes departing McCarrati. Nellis is not an issue, he told ANR.. FAA designed the airspace to avoid the military base. Several issues are at play at Las Vegas that have made the new right turn procedure controversiai. The Las Vegas area is located in very restricted airspace because of large swaths of military airspace around it, which restricts flight path options for commercial aircraft. Both the City ofLas Vegas and McCarran International are growing rapidly. McCarran was ranked the ninth busiest airport in the world for passenger traffic in 2005 and Las Vegas is one of the fastest growing cities in the country. To make matters more di�cult for the city, it does not own or operate McCarran even though the airport is located just five miles south of the city's central business district, so it has no control of airport operations. The airport is owned and operated by Clark County, Nevada. And residents of the Las Vegas area are experiencing all the problems that come with rapid growth of a meixopolitan area, including more air tra�c and the loss of low density residential areas that can be used as noise abatement flight paths. Soon, Perryman said, McCarran will be surrounded on all sides by high density development. South of Airport Is Lower Density Currently, pianes that take off to the west from McCarran turn left (south) and fly over areas with lower population densities. The new flight path, set to go into effect in March, will direct a third of those planes (up to 200 per day) to make a 180 degree turn on depariure, first going north and then east, that will take them over densely populated areas of Las Vegas. FAA contends that the right turn procedure will reduce delays on departure at McCarran and will allow the airlines to save fuel. Since the FAA announced the proposed "right turn" flight path in late 2005, it has been staunchly opposed be resi- dents under the new flight path who argue that it would be safer to turn planes making high-power, low altitude turns over areas with fewer people rather than over the most densely populated part of Southern Nevada. They also expressed concern about decreases in property values, noting that tens of thousands of families purchased homes under the new flight path with no warning or disclosure that they would be overflown by thousands of jets a year. Many families moved into the new flight path area after FAA decided in 2001 to stop using a similar right turn procedure as the predominant departure path for aircraft heading to destinations north or the airport. The FAA reduced the use of that procedure in 2001 because it had not provided the increases in tra�c e�ciency the agency had expected. Clark County, NV, proprietor ofMcCanan, has taken no o�cial position on the right turn departure path but the Clark County Commissioner Bruce Woodbury told the Las Vegas City Council in a December 2005 letter that eliminating the earlier right turn procedure cut McCarran's capacity by 5.8 percent and led to increased fuel consumption and delays that will continue as air traffic increases at the airport. Landrum & Brown prepared an Environmental Assessment of the proposed right turn departure procedure and con- cluded there would be no significant noise impact. In addition, the firm modeled DNL noise levels and numbers of aircraft operations that couid be expected at 19 grid points under the new flight path. Most of those grid points would be subject to noise levels under 50 DNL, Perryman said. PARTNER, from p. 1 Aeronautics and Astronautics Department, who serves as directorofPARTNER. Around March 1, he will announce what projects will be funded in fscal 2007. Land Use Management : A final report on PARTNER's project on Land Use Management and Airport Controls is due out this spring. The research is examining the dynamics of how communities encroach on airport areas and how these encroachments fuel noise concerns and complaints. The goal of the project is to identify factors that drive residential encroachment. The study considered land use issues at three airports: Ft. Lauderdale-Hollywood International, Orland-Sanford International, and Denver International. Further research is underway looking at land use issues around three other airports: Cleveland Hopkins International, San Jose International, and Manassas (VA) Airport. No date has been set yet for release of a report on those airports. The report will examine the state, county, and local land use laws and guide(ines controlling land use development around those airports. The project is being conducted by Purdue University and FloridaIntemational University. Low-Frequency Noise: By June, a final report is due out on PART'NER's low-frequency noise study, although follow-on work will continue to be done in this area. The goal of this study is to enhance metrics currently used in the FAA's Integrated Noise Model and to identify alternative algorithms that predict the impact of low-frequency noise and the annoyance it causes. The study is considering a broad range of issues: the spectrum and level of low-frequency noise; how it is propa- gated; its impact on homes in the form of noise, vibration, and rattle; subjective perception and annoyance; and the ability of inetrics to predict both the physical and perceived impact of low-frequency noise. The study is being conducted by The Pennsylvania State Airport Noise Report C�_. January 12, 2007 University, Purdue, and the University of Central Florida. NoiseQuest: Within the ne�ct six months, PARTNER plans to launch a new website called "NoiseQuest' that will provide an educational forum for airports and communities on noise issues. NoiseQuest is intended to supplement current airport outreach efforts and to provide a resource for airports too srnall to have established community outreach programs. "NoiseQuest will help to bridge the gap between airports and their communities," PAR TNER explains. The site may include ways to contact authorities to assist with noise-related issues and will include an array of educational materials suitable for a range of users. The project is being conducted by The Pennsylvania State University, Florida International University, and Purdue. Resem•ch RFP ISSUEI� FOR GUTAANCE ON COMMUNITX R:�SPONSE The Transportation Research Board (TRB) is seeking a contractor for a$400,000 project to develop a guidebook to assist airport o�cials in dealing with communities on aircraft noise issues and a toolkit airports can use to assess the progress and success of their noise mitigation efforts. The project is part of the Airport Cooperative Research Program (ACRP), approved by Congress in 2003 and managed by TR13. TRB issued a Request for Proposals seeking a contractor for the 18-month project (ACRP 02-05, Guidebook on Community Responses to Aircraft Noise) on Dec. 22, 2006. The RFP- is available at the TRB website (http:www.trb.org/ TRBNet/Proj ectDispi ay.asp?Proj ectID=134). Firms interested in conducting the project have until Feb. 14 to submit their proposals. The project team must include individuals with recent practical experience developing aircraft noise mitigation programs and approved Federal Aviation Administration Part 150 AirportNoise Compatibil- ity Programs. Our current understanding of the factors that influence community responses to aircraft noise is inadequate, the RFP notes. "Moreover, an airport's grasp of these factors is important to its ability to manage local aircra$ noise issues within the community. When aircra$ noise causes commu- nity opposition to airport operations or planned develop- ment, airports have often attempted to overcome the project- specific opposition rather than manage community expecta- tions for the long term. Without effective, long-term manage- ment of community expectations for aircraft noise, airports face a significant constraint to meeting future airport- capacity needs." "It is increasingly important for airport decision makers to understand the aircraft noise issue and to take advantage of successful practices at other airports to manage comm�nity aircraft noise expectation. Airports also need new tech- niques or assessment methods to communicate more 3 effectively and thereby manage community expectations." "... As demand for more air travel forces more metropolitan regions to expand existing airports or seek sites for new secondary airports or even to relocate existing airports from consirained sites, community attitudes toward new and expanded airports will become an even more important element of airport system planning. Although various factors influence community attitudes about airport opera- tions, aircraft noise is the dominant issue at many airports. Research is needed to provide airports with tools to manage these noise issues." Contents ofGuidebookand Toolkit The guidebook prepared for the project must include a glossary of terms and definitions, frequently asked ques- tions, a discussion of the history of aircraft noise and aircraft noise issues, a description of the current state of practice for mitigating noise issues, selected airport case studies on aircraft noise, guidance on likely community response to aircraft noise, and an assessment of traditional and innova- tive airport efforts to manage community expectations. The guidebook should cross-reference practices that are in the toolkit and discuss issues such as sleep disturbance, thrust reverser noise, helicopter noise, low-frequency noise (vibration), and other noise issues. The toolkit must provide samples and examples of elements � from the most successful noise mitigation programs. It also must include two forms: one that airports without noise mitigation programs can use to assess their need for one and to establish a baseline for future efforts; and one that airports with noise mitigation programs can use to periodi- cally assess their progress. The toolkit also should include a listing of current best . practices with implementation procedures; an explanation of strategies and methodologies for each practice; and an „ evaluation of supplemental metrics that support each practice and their relationship to potential effects, including annoyance, sleep disturbance, speech interference, and disruptions to learning environments. Practices cited in the toolkit should include noise abate- ment measures, pilot education programs, how to setup and conduct a public meeting, a summary of aviation industry association programs related to aircraft noise, educational. resources, and checklists and flowcharts. The project is expected to begin on June 1. The TRB project manager is Machael Salamone (msalamone@nas.edu; tel: (202) 334-1268).

The measure would establish a grant program through which state and local governments could apply for funding and technical assistance from the Secretary of Health and Human Services to prepare health impact assessments. These assessments could be done on a broad range of impacts that could have adverse effects, including "existing air quality, ground or surface water quality or quantity, or tra�c or noise levels."

In a major legal victory for the cities of Minneapolis, Richfield, and Eagan, MN, a state court judge on Jan. 25 granted summary judgment in favor of their claim that the Metropolitan Airports Commission (MAC), proprietor of Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport, made an enforceable commitrnent to provide a full sound insulation package for homes in the airport's 60-64 DNL contour. Judge Stephen Aldrich of Hennepin County District Court also rejected summary judgment motions brought by the MAC and Northwest Airlines to dismiss the other main count in the suit, which concerns whether the MAC has an obligation to provide the sound insularion as a result of its impairment of quietude under the Minnesota Environrnental Rights Act (MER.A). The case is scheduled to go to trial on Feb. 12 on the quietude issue. Northwest intervened in the litigation in support of the MAC because it commit- ted in an airline lease agreement to provide up to $70 million to sound insulate homes in the 60-64 DNL contour of MSP. It is unlikely that the carrier's bankrupt status will relieve it of that obligation. (Continued on p. 10) Metrics EA�AN SAYS CONTOiTRS S�IOULD S�IOW EI+'FECTS CDF NOISE, loTpT NOISE LEVlELS In an award-winning paper presented Jan. 22 at the annual meeting of the Transportation Research Board in Washington, DC, Mary Ellen Eagan, president of the acoustical consulting firm Harris Miller Miller & Hanson Inc., proposed an idea so innovative and simple that it has the potential to bring about a sea-change in how airport noise issues are discussed with communities and policy makers and in courtrooms. Rather than drawing contour lines around airports to depict noise levels ex- pressed in various metrics — which confuses the public — Eagan propvsed that contour lines be used to graphically rapresent the extent of the most common effects of aircraft noise (annoyance, sleep disruption, speech interference, learnang, and rattie), which people intuitively understand. So, instead of contour lines depicting increasing noise levels, such as 60 DNL, 65 DNL, 70 DNL, they would depict increasing noise effects, such as: • 10 percent of the population highly annoyed, 20 percent highly annoyed, 30 percent highly annoyed, etc; or • 50 speeeh disruptions, 100 speech disruptions, 150 speech disruptions; 200 speech disruptions, etc.; or • 20 percent chance of awakening, 30 percent chance; 40 percent chance, etc. (Continued on p. 10) �12 T%ZLS ��'Sd�E. . .

FA.A an- nounces that it is in the process of reviewing proposed Part 150 noise campatibi lity programs for Shreveport Regional and Flagstaff Pulliam airports-p.12 January 26, 2007 10 Minneapolis Mayor R.T. Rybak called Judge Aldrich's ruling "a long-deserved vindication:' "After years of protests and thousands of hours of meetings, we finally have vindication for what we have been saying all along: that the MAC made commihnents to a community to protect them from airport noise poilution and they must follow through on those commitrnents. I will not let thern off the hook and, it seems, the court won't either." At issue in the case is the e}ctent of sound insulation that the MAC had agreed to pmvide to homes in the 60-64 DNL contour of MSP International as a condition of the state Legislature agreeing to expand the airport and add a new runway at its current in-town site rather than rnoving it to a greenfield site. Judge Aldrich ruted solidly in favor of the cities' position the MAC had committed to providing its full sound insulation package to homes in the 60-64 DNL contour. That commitment was referenced in multiple documents filed between 1996 and 2001, during the public approval process for construction of the new runway, and could not now be disregarded, the judge ruled. After making its initial committee to the full sound insulation package, the MAC voted to reduce the package so that homes in the 60-64 DNL contour received only air conditioners and homeowners had to pay part of the cost. But the judge would not allow that. "This court cannot allow the MAC to receive the benefits of a long fought over pubiic bargain and then abandon its repeated commitments upon which so many people have relied," the order said. "To rule otherwise would approve a massive public `bait and switch' on the homeowners and the affected cities." MAC Disappointed Patrick Hogan, a spokesman for the MAC, said the commission was very disappointed with the court's action. The MAC feels it has fulfilled all its obligations regarding sound insulation, he said. The MAC does not fee! that it makes sense to spend $45,000 per home to provide the full sound insulation package to homes four miles from the airport that it spends on homes a few thousand feet from the airport. Hogan said that the judge's ruling did not answer the question of what the MAC has to do now or what noise maps must be used in determining the extent of the 60-64 DNL contour. Maps have been done in various years. Those questions may be answered in a Jan. 26 pre-trial hearing on the part of the case that will go forward on the issue of whether the MAC has impaired quietude under MF.Rf1. Hogan questioned if the case needed to proceed to triai on the quietude issue because the judge has already ruled that the MAC must provide the insulation sought by the cities. But John Putnam of Kaplan Kirsch & Rockwell, which represents Minneapolis in the case, said the question of whether the MAC has impaired quietude under MERA is a separate basis for relief for the cities and allows a fuil record to be developed if the MAC or Northwest Airlines appeals this ruling or a later one in the trial. Putnam told ANR just prior to deadline that the MAC had just filed motions asking the court not to proceed with the trial. Judge Aldrich said in his order that the claims represented in this case are complex and invoive issues of first impression for the Minnesota courts. "Whatever the Court does almost certainly will be appealed by whichever party is most disappointed and perhaps by all three." The case is City of Minneapolis et al v. Metropolitan Airports Commission andNorthwestAirlines, Inc. (No. 27- CV-05-5474). Metrics, from p. 9 "It's genius in its simplicity," one member of the audience declared after listening to Eagan present her paper, which was the 28"' winner of the annual Harter Rupert Awazd for Best Paper on Transportation Noise, presented by TRB Committee ADC40 on Transportation-RelatedNoise & Vibration. Eagan's`paper was well-received at the TRB meeting and at the meeting of the Environment Committee of the Airports Council International —North America, where it was first presented last April. Burr Stewart, strategic planning manager for the Port of Seattle, is a strong supporter of Eagan's new approach. "The industry has always needed ways to make the scientific findings about aircraft noise more understandable to the public and to courts. My hat is ofFto Mary Ellen for taking the time to think this through and try some objective approaches to mapping noise effects," he told ANR. Eagan also will discuss her new approach to communicat- ing with the public on aircraft noise issues at the upcoming University of California at Davis Symposium on Aviation Noise and Air Quality, which will be held March 4-7 in San Francisca The Federal Aviation Administration requires that environ- mentat documents address noise irnpact around airports using the noise metric Day Night Average Sound Level (DNL), which Eagan described as "a complex metric that requires a reasonably advanced understanding of both mathematics and physics: ' DhtL "is difficuit to explain to lay audiences and has proven to be an obstacle to constructive discussion of aircraft noise issues," she said. Increasingly, supplemental noise rnetrics are being used to communicate noise impact to the public based on the assumption that they are better understood by the commu- nity. Focus on Relationships to Effects But Eagan urged participants to focus not on the supple- mental rnetrics themselves but an the well-documented close relationships vari�us suppiemental noise metrics have to certain noise effects, which she discusses in detail in her paper. Airport Noise Report January 26, 2007 11 For instance, DNL relates closely to the percentage of the population "Highly Annoyed" by noise; Percent of Awaken- ings relates to sleep disruption; N75 (the number of events above 75 dBA) relates to speech interference; Leq(8) (an 8- hour equivalent noise level) relates to learning, and Lmax(c) (C-weighted maximum noise level) relates to rattle. All these metrics are easily a�ailable in the FAA's Integrated Noise Modei. Eagan also suggested that simple depiction of noise effects may allow for more meaningful dialog on cr9teria for supplemental metrics. Her paper includes maps with contour lines drawn to depict degrees of annoyance, sleep disruption, speech interFerence, effects on learning, and rattle. It also includes a map with all these contours depicted in various colors. One of Eagan's majar conclusions is evident in this final map: the FAA bases environmental decisions on the land use compatibility criteria of DNL 65 dB; however depictions of noise effects illusfrate that their extent goes well beyond that point. While DNL 65 may be FAA's "line in the sand" on airport noise impact, Eagan said, it certainly does not tell a complete story. Her paper, "Using Supplemental Metrics to Cornmunicate Aircraft Noise Effects," is available on the HMMI-I Web site: www.hn�mh.com. 5ound Insulation � • ' ' � � ' ;�, �, � � �, � ,� . , �, � � , Last month, Arlington Heights, IL, located near O'Hare International Airport, became the first community in Illinois to use a model sound insulation ordinance developed by the O'HareNoise Compatibility Commission (ONCC) as the basis for developing a comprehensive set of noise mitigation standards for new home construction. ONCC announced Jan. 17 that it is launching a campaign to encourage other communities around O'Hare to adopt similar building codes designed to make homes and commercial locations quieter. ONCC said it is concerned that the tear- c(own trend in older communities near O'Hare and new construction projects are resulting in an increasing number of homes located in areas impacted by various sources of noise. Arlington Heights Mayor Arlene Mulder said that her village's new building codes address noise not only from aircraft but also that produced by trains, highways, trucks, lawnmowers, and other sources. "Noise can significantly affect the quality of life inside our homes, where everyone deserves to enjoy some peace and quiet," Mulder said. Besides, she added, "there are significant energy cost savings and environmental benefits derived in adopting these standards." The mayor stressed that the new sound insulation building codes are an effort to get builders to use green technology. Whatever changes in design need to be made to insulate homes against noise also will insulate them against the loss of heating or cooling, she explained. So, while compliance with the sound insulation building codes might cost a little more up front, that cost will be recouped in energy savings. Members of the ONCC's Model Sound Insulation Ad Hoc Committee drafted much of the language in the model ordinance. The Arlington Heights sound insulation code was developed by Nicholas Gadzekpo, director of the village's Buiiding Department, in consultation with Mayor Muider and the Village Board. Both documents are available on the ONCC Web site: www.oharenoise.org. Federal Aviation Administration guidelines preclude new homes and home additions from eligibility for inclusion in the O'Hare Residential Sound Insulation Program. Whilethe ONCC has begun oversight of a new phase of the program, the homes eligible for sound insulatian have been desig- nated by the FAA. ONCC said it "is especially interested in making sure that communities around O'Hare are addressing noise issues in advance of the changing aircraft departure and landing patterns that will result from the O'Hare Modernization Program. There is concern that cornmunities could be permitting new construction without proper sound insula- tion in areas that cuirently have little impact from aircraft noise but could see increased noise in the future." The ONCC and the Chicago Deparlment ofAviation offer a 36-page homeowner's handbook in PDF format for anyone who would like to better sound insulate their homes. It is available on the ONCC Web site. ONCC is funded by the City of Chicago, proprietor of O'Hare, and is comprised of communities near O'Hare with noise impact. The commission, formed in 1996, seeks to bring together parties that are most able to reduce aircraft noise with representatives of communities impacted by aircraft noise in an effort to address the problem.

Further, we have a front row seat to the economic vitality and transportation needs of this critical Minnesota resource. We do not, however, have a voice on the MAC that is accountable to our community. Our community, along wlth those in the closest pro�mity to the airport have worked together to address a glaring need in the structure of MA.0 — accountability. House File 359 proposes 4 new seats to the MAC, to include the Mayors (or their appointees) of Mendota Heights, Bloo�xiington, Eagan and Richfield. These representatives would be accountable to both the airport and to the communities immediately impacted by the vitality of the airport. The City of Mendota Heights has supported the Dual Track process, and is willing to take a fair share of flight and transportation activity that comes with a successful airport. Recent developments (Court ruling on sound insulation, I7ua1 Track FEIS inconsistencies, etc.) have illustrated the inadequacy of the MA.C's oversight of this resource. The City of Mendota Heights feels that HF359 brings a measure of accountability to the MAC. Our community has and will continue to bear our share of the costs associated with MSP. We are seeking representation which is more than in name only. We appreciate your consideration in this issue. City of Mendota Heights MAC Representation — Talking Points ANTICIPATED QUESTIONS: What's so significant about this change? o Not just a representative to a community in name only — Mayors/Appointees are directly accountable to the community they represent.
