Runway 12L-30R Reconstruction Project The Runway 12L-30R (North Parallel) Center Segrnent Reconstruction project provides for the complete reconstruction of the center section of Runway 12L-30R at MSP. The entire project will take an estimated four months. However, the time the runway will actually be closed is approximately two months in order to help mitigate the off-airport impacts from the project. To encourage on-time completion of the project in the shortest time possible, MAC construction contracts for the project will provide that the Runway 12L-30R reconstruction contractor may incur liquidated damages per day if the contractor does not begin and complete the contracted work on time. The following is a discussion of the potential environmental effects of the project. Air Quality There will be no long-term air quality impacts as a result of the project. The project will not change the capacity of the airport. As a result, the only potential for air quality impacts will be short-term and will occur during construction. The Runway 12L-30R reconstruction project wili occur wholly within the airport boundary. Construction activities from the project may create dust as a result of stockpiling, material transfezs, traffic, and excavation activities. Any dust from construction activities is unlikely to be blown beyond the airport property. To prevent off-airport dust impacts, MAC's construction contracts require contractors to employ appropriate dust control measures, such as spraying the construction site with water, a calcium chloride solution, or similar dust suppressants. In addition, MAC requires a recirculating air sweeper with dust control and auxiliary pick-up type sweepers to be present and available as necessary to suppress dust generated at the construction project site and on haul routes to and fram the construction project site. Construction will also be limited to approximately four months to minimize any potential short-term impacts from dust or traffic. The level of construction-related truck traffic is not expected to adversely impact traffic on surrounding roads. Truck traffic for the project will include delivery and removal of materials, along with construction employee vehicle traffic. There are no indications that the level of traffic will exceed the capacity of existing roadways in the area. MAC will work with its construction contractor to stage vehicle trips to avoid any negative impacts on traffic flow in the area. With respect to exhaust from truck traffic, the area is surrounded by highways and roadways already frequented by diesel-fueled vehicles. The level of truck traffic is not expected to result in any measurable impact on air quality in the area. Construction projects do not typieally require air quality permits. The proposed Runway 12L-30R reconstruction project is limited in scope and duration, and does not require an air quality permit from the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA). In addition, the runway reconstruction project will not result in any increase in the capacity of MSP or the number ar type of aircraft operations at MSP. As in the reconstruction of Runway 12R-30L in 2007, FAA. will modify MSP air traffic control procedures to accommodate MSP's aircraft activity with the least amount of operational disruption during the months that Runway 12L-30R will be closed. FAA's modified air traffic control procedures are designed ta replicate, as closely as possible, MSP's normal operating conditions. When the reconstruction project is complete and Runway 12L-30R is reopened, FAA will return MSP to its pre- reconstruction operational patterns. MAC has no governmental approval authority over FAA's decision to modify MSP air traffic control procedures during the project, and federal law preempts all state laws : affecting aircraft operations. Given the nature of FAA's air traffic control changes and the short duration of the approximate two-month runway closure, it is unlikely that FAA's short-term relocation of certain � aircraft operations will have a measurable effect on air quality. Storm Water The general storm water flow for the construction area drains to MSP Pond 2 and Snelling Lake. � The Runway 12L-30R reconstruction project will not change the storm water drainage flow for � the construction area. During the reconstruction period, storm water flows will be temporarily reduced as a result of the reduction of impervious surfaces. MSP Pond 2 was specifically designed to provide over 46 acre feet of storm water storage, with a pond fore bay to remove the majority of sediment and a main pond body to address the remaining total suspended solids to protect the Minnesota River. Snelling Lake watershed consists of MSP Pond 3, which acts as a fore bay to remove sediment prior to discharge into MSP Pond 4. Erosion control measures for the project will minimize erosion of soils and prevent sedirnent from entering the storm sewer system or washing to other low areas. Measures to control erosion during reconstruction of Runway 12L-30R will include the instarlation of silt fencing and storm drain inlet protection before MAC commences any grading or soil disruption activities associated with the reconstruction project. MAC will maintain these erosion control measures until the reconstruction project is complete. MAC's construction contractor will also obtain a storm water permit for the reconstruction project from MPCA. In addition, MAC's construction contracts require the contractor to comply with all applicable permit requirements, including applicable storm water requirements in MA.C's permits for MSP issued by the Lower Minnesota River Watershed District and the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District. Pavement and Soils The historic use of the project site has been as a runway. MAC did not conduct a pre-construction environmental investigation of the project area and has no reason to believe that runway pavement or soils in the area are contaminated. Nevertheless, MAC's construction contract for the Runway 12L-30R reconstruction project requires trained environmental personnel to verify the conditiQn of runway pavements and soils during reconstruction. If any runway pavement or soil contaminat'ion is discovered, MAC will manage the contaminated pavement or soil according to the MPCA-approved soil management plan for MSP. MPCA reviews the plan annually, and MAC's 2007 MSP Annuai Soil Management Report to MPCA will discuss the Runway 12L-30R reconstruction project. Leak Sites MAC has compared the Runway 12L-30R reconstruction project area with the comprehensive list of leak and spill sites at MSP. This review revealed that there are no open or closed leak sites within the project area. In addition, there are no spill sites within or immediately adjacent to the project area. The Runway 12L-30R reconstruction project will not cause jet fuel line leaks because none of the jet fuei lines are located within or adjacent to the project area. Fuel Lines and Leaks MSP terminal gate areas are served by a hydrant fuel system. The entire hydrant fueling system at MSP is leased to the Minneapolis Fuel Committee (MFC), which is comprised of contracting airline members that operate at MSP. In 2003, Aircraft Services International Group (ASIG) had the contract with MFC � , to operate and maintain the system when two separate hydrant leaks occurred (one at Gate DS and the other at Gate A7). The status of the leaks, investigation activities, corrective actions, mitigation I: � measures and the contents of the Stipulation Agreement negotiated between MAC, MFC, ASIG and MPCA were discussed at numerous public MAC meetings. These discussions included MAC staff presentations to the Planning and Environment Committee or the full Commission, or both, in March 2003, July 2003, October 2003, January 2005, June 2005 and October 2005. In March 2005, MAC, MFC, and ASIG signed a Stipulation Agreement with the MPCA that addresses the hydrant fuel release discovered in 2003. The complete executed Stipulation Agreement has been available on MAC's website since 1V�arch 2005. The Stipulation Agreement identified corrective actions that MAC, MFC, and ASIG implemented to improve the management and handling of fuel and fuel products at MSP. MAC staff discussed these management and handling practices in detail at the meeting of the full Commission in January 2005. In October 2007 the MPCA terminated the Stipulation Agreement and closed the leak site after the parties completed all elements in the Stipulation Agreement. There are no hydrant fuel lines located within or immediately adjacent to the project area. As a result, the Runway 12L-30R reconstruction, project will not expose or alter jet fuel lines in any way. As discussed above, there is-no evidence that the Runway 12L-30R reconstruction project will cause jet fuel line leaks. The Runway 12L-30R reconstruction project also will not remove any gates from service, so there will be no fueling system stress as a result of changes in gate assignments. Similarly, any changes in ground traffic flow will not affect the fueling system because ground movement activities are unrelated to the fueling system. Noise and Air 7['raffic Control Changes FAA's Modified Air Traffic Control Procedures FA.A modified MSP air traffic control procedures to accommodate aircraft activity with the least amount of operational disruption during the 2007 Runway 12R-30L reconstruction project and will make similar modifications for the Runway 12L-30R reconstruction project. FAA has undertaken SIMMOD (airport simulation) modeling to identify air traffic control procedures designed to replicate, as closely as possible, MSP's normal operating conditions. MAC has no governmental approval authority over FAA's decision to modify air traffic control procedures during the Runway 12L-30R reconstruction project. Federal law also preempts all state laws affecting aircraft operations, such as air traffic control procedures. Minnesota Pub. Lobby v. Metro. Airports Comm'n, 520 N. W.2d 388, 391-92 (Minn. 1994). Noise from FAA's Modified Air Traffic Control Procedures As mentioned above, the modified air traffic control procedures that FAA will employ during the runway reconstruction project are designed to replicate, as closely as possible, MSP's normal operating conditions. When the reconstruction project is complete and Runway 12L-30R is reopened, FAA will return MSP to its pre-reconstruction operational patterns. Most areas near MSP that will see an increase in operations under FAA's modified air traffic control procedures already experience regular aircraft over flights. In fact, the only areas where operational patterns will be noticeably different from those during normal runway operations at MSP are areas north of MSP in Minneapolis, which are in the approach path to Runway 17, and areas in St. Paul to the northeast of MSP, which are in the approach path to Runway 22. Residents living north of Runway 17 in Minneapolis will observe a change from existing conditions during the two-month closure of the runway for reconstruction, primarily as a result of arrival operations on Runway 17. Similarly, residents living in St. Paul will observe a change from existing conditions during the two-month reconstruction of the runway primarily as a result of arrival operations on Runway 22. C Aircraft anival operations are typically quieter than departure operations. An analysis of noise events � from DC9 aircraft—one of the loudest aircraft in the fleet mix at MSP—at ANOMS RMT 6 in � Minneapolis during February 2007 revealed an average departure operation sound exposure level (SEL) of 99.3 dB. An analysis of anival operations for the same aircraft at the same location in February 2007 revealed an average SEL of 94.5 dB, or a difference of 4.8 dB. A doubling of aircraft operations results in a 3 dB increase in noise energy. As such, it would take more than double the number of DC9 arrival operations to equal the same noise energy as is produced by DC9 departure operations. MAC will be taking measures to explain FAA's modified air traffic control procedures to communities surrounding MSP. In consultation with the Noise Oversight Committee (NOC), MAC will propose a comprehensive plan to explain the Runway 12L-30R reconstruction project and the temporary changes that FA.A will implement while Runway 12L-30R is closed for reconstruction. The four components of the proposed plan are: (1) descriptions of the FAA temporary operational modifications in the MSP Noise News newsletter; (2) descriptions of the modifications on MAC's web site; (3) postcard mailings describing the modifications; and (4) community open houses addressing the modifications. There are no cumulative potential environmental effects from future projects related to the Runway 12L- 30R reconstruction project. The Runway 12L-30R reconstruction is a discrete repair project of short duration designed to restore the surface of a portion of an existing runway. �,,, �,ort User Chair: Community Chair: MSP Nois� Oversighi Commiitee Membership Roster 6.26.07 Kathieen Nelson - Northwest Airlines Vern Wilcox - City of Bloomington � .c � - i :�� r �u r .�a-r � :�:� � .r � !E n .��. r i'v� '� .�r � . u "i.:a � User RepreSentation � , : ,� Representati�e4 � S Alternate s � { , , �' �i 4 y x �� Alternate �' r { ; � � .;� _�_,; ,.�_z • %r...,� -,:,,_�r :� }a.t' ,.; .nIu1W„� -,....3 �J <� �It7aa., sx��S_.. ,..., ...�.,:._.a ,..�.� SCHEDULED AIRLINE (Term: 6.26.07 - 6.25.09) CARGO CARRIER (Term: 6.26.07 - 6.25.09) �RTER OPERATOR (Term: 6.26.07 - 6.25.09) CHIEF PILOT (Term: 6.26.07 - 6.25.09) MBAA (Term: 6.26.07 - 6.25.09) Kathleen Nelson Regional Director-AiriineAffairs Northwest Airlines Dept A1135 2700 Lone Oak Pkwy Eagan MN 55121-1534 W: 612.726.0996 F: 612.727.6041 E: kathleen.nelson@nwa.com Peter �eveRnore Airport Properties Manager Unitetl Parcel Service Airport Properties 3A 1400 N Hurstboume Pkwy �ouisvilie KY 40223 W: 502.329.3994 F: 502.329.3995 E: jlevermore@ups.com Karen Erazo Manager, Legal Affairs MN Airlines, LLC dba Sun Country Airiines 1300 Mendota Heights Rd Mendota Heights MN 55120 W: 651.661.3950 F: 651.681.3901 E: karen,erazo@suncountry.com Tim Beutell Northwest Airlines Dept D7510 5105 Northwest Dr St Paul MN 55111 W: 612.726.6064 E; tim.beutell@nwa.com Tim Valento MBAA 6985 34th Ave S Minneapolis MN 55450 W: 651.296.1499 F: 612.727,2132 E: tim.valento@dot.state.mn.us Mary Loeffeiholz NorthwestAirlines Inc Dept A1135 2700 Lone Oak Pkwy Eagan MN 55121-1534 W: 612.726.2304 F: 612.727.6041 E: mary.loeffeiholz@nwa.com R.

Page 1 of 1 �roposec! N��e Law�uit ��fit�ement 9�f�r a�Qo� The Metropolitan Airports Commission (MAC) voted to approve a proposed settlement in a noise mitigation lawsuit lirought by the cities of Minneapolis, Richfield and Eagan. The proposal is still awaiting approval from the district judge overseeing the case. In addition, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) must advise the MAC that the settlement agreement with the cities is an appropriate use of airport revenue and consistent with federal grant obligations. For a more detailed description of the proposed settlement click he�e. For printable maps of the areas covered under the proposed settlement click here. The Proposed Settlement Agreement Under the proposed settlement agreement, the MAC wouid provide mitigation to homes in the 60 to 64 DNL contours. Mitigation activities would vary based on noise contour, with homes in the most noise-impacted contours eligible for more extensive mitigation than those in less impacted areas. Multi-family dwellings (those with more than three living units) would receive less extensive mitigation than singie-family homes. The total cost to MAC is uncertain until the program is complete, but it is estimated the proposal could cost as much as $130 million to implement. Four separate residential noise mitigation programs are included in the agreement. Costs depicted in each of the four programs are in 2007 doliars and will be adjusted annually for inflation according to the Consumer Price Index: Singie family Homes in the Projected 2007 P+litigated 63-64 DN� Noise Contours The approximately 432 homes in the most noise-impacted contours would be eligible to receive the same level of noise mitigation provided in the 65 DNL contour and greater. The program is designed to achieve five decibels of noise reduction on average. Depending on the improvements needed to reduce interior npise sufficiently, modifications could include: central air conditioning; exterior an.d storm window repair or replacement; prime door and storm door repair or replacement; wall and attic insulation; bafFling of roof vents and chimney treatment. Construction would be scheduled for completion by December 31, 2009. � Single familv Homes in the Proiected 2007 Mitigated 60-62 Noise Contours Owners of the approximately 5,344 homes in less noise-impacted areas would be eligible for one of two mitigation packages: 1.) The estimated 3,421 homes that did not have centrai air conditioning as of September 1, 2007 could receive it. In addition, homeowners would get up to $4,000 (including installation costs) in other noise mifiigation products and services they could choose from a menu provided by the MAC. 2.) Owners of homes that already had central air conditioning installed as of September 1, 2007 or who choose not to receive central air conditioning would be eligible for up to $14,000 (including installation costs) of noise mitigation products and services they could choose from a menu provided by the MAC. Categories of products on the menu will include: exterior and storm window repair or replacement; prime door and storm door repair or repiacement; waii and attic insulation; baffling of roof vents and chimney treatment. Construction is scheduled for compietion by December 1, 2012. Multi-familv homes in the proiected 20p7 mitiaated 60-54 DNL Contours Any of the approximately 1,931 multi-family units in the projected 2007 mitigated 60-64 DN� contours that do not have air conditioning would receive through-the-wall or equivalent permanently instailed air conditioners. The MAC also will install an acoustical cover for each air conditioner in the multi-family units. Installation is scheduled to be complete by December 1, 2010. �7 Million Total for Opt-Out and 2005 Mitigated Sinale-familv Homes Singie-family homes whose owners opted out of the already completed MAC noise-mitigation program but that now have new owners would be eligible to "opt in" and receive noise mitigation. If the total cost to MAC of opt-in mitigation is less than $7 million, any remaining monies wouid be used to reimburse owners of approximately 2,352 singie-family homes in the 2005 Mitigated 60-64 DNL contours for purchase and instailation of products inciuded on a menu provided by the MAC. The amount each homeowner receives will be determined by subtracting doilars spent for the opt-in program from the total $7 miliion budget and dividing the remainder among the total number of single-family homes within the 2005 60-64 DN� contours. The MAC would begin to issue reimbursements by March 1, 2010 and would complete them by ]uly 31, 2014. The total the MAC will spend on the opt-out and 2005 program ali togefiher is capped at $7 miilion. __...... . ._ _ MSP International Airport � Metropolitan Airports Commission � RelieverAirports � Partner Services � Airport Police � Airport Noise ( Employment Opportunities � Business Opportunities � � p 2005 Metropolitan Airports Commission http://www.macnoise.com/settlement 10/22/2007 � fi•om the Metro�olitan Air�orts Comr-nission FOR IMIvDEDIATE R.ELEA.SE Uctober 15, 2007 Patrick Hogan 612-726-5335 Metropolitan Airpol-ts Con�rnission Board Approves Proposed Sei�lement of Noise Lawsuii .MS.P Airport Continues to Lead Natzo�z in Airport Noise Mitigation— �`�f S SA��rA � � 9Gf ; � o o} + + w � �� °-> + .}.. �o� 9N4tqpDRZS ..

That proposed seftlement wou.ld benefit owners of approximately 4,413 single-faulily homes located within tlze 60 to 64 DNL Mitigated 2007 noise coutours. Unlike the proposed seitlement in the cities' case, which would provide benefits to all homes in any blocks iouclled by fihe noise contour li.n.e, the class aciion settleinent includes only properties thai theinselves lie within tlie contour; properties that are on the same black but lie outside the coiliour woutd not be eligible. -more- C PROPOSED SETTLEMENT/4444 Under the proposed class action seitleinent announced ui Jun.e ov�Jners af homes currently with.out central air conditioning would receive it — including ducting and finislung work - - free of charge. In addiiion, they ��vould receive a$1,750 value for �urchase and insia.ila#ion af noise initigation �roducts or cash reimbursemeni for eligible improvements made within the past five years. Up to $750 of ihai amount could be appl.ied to the attorneys' fees of the citizens in the class action suit i.f approved by the court. The praposed class a.ction settlement also provides that those homes that with existing central air condii�oning would receive $9,250 for tl�e purchase and installation of noise rnifiigation products or cash reimbursen�ent for eligible 3mprovements made within the past five years. Again, up to $750 af that amount may be applied to the attomeys' fees of the citizens i.n the class ac�ion suit if ap�roved by the court. Lawyers in the class action suit have waited to seek the judge's approval of that settlement agreement i.n order to assess the outcoine of taTks bet�ueen the MAC and ihe cities involved in the cities' lawsuit. If the cities, the Mi.nnea�olis Publie Housing Authority and ihe judge all approve the seitIement proffered by ihe MAC board today in the ciiies' lawsuit, the MAC will propose that representatives and members in the class action suit also accepf tllose ierms. If tl�e jndge does not agree to apply the tertns of the cities° settle�n.ent to the class seitlement wittun 9p days of accepting ihe agree�nent in the ci�ies' case, the settlement in the cities' case becomes void and tl�:e cities' 1az�vsuit is reinstated. The Federal Aviation Adm.i_nisiratian also must advise the MAC that the settlem.ent agreement with the ci�ies is an appropriate use of airport reveizue and consisteiit witb federal grant obligations by November 30, 2007, or the agreement is null and void. "Our goal is to achieve a single settlement t�f both suits," Launers said. "Tha result will be a consistent, reasonable, fmancially responsible approach to noise nutigation around Mi.nneapolis-St. Paul Inter�ational Airport." ### C C 135 c � �7 fi .� ��rr � .a'S' �i,! `r"`•i a'�E.,o � '� C � � � � ., � }�4 Zv aY) �4� ? r. �t., �' .� � r � � � F.

I I On Oct. 2, the Federal Aviation Administration proposed an init9al set of aircraft avionics requirements designed to enable the transition to the Next Generation satellite-based air transportation system. The proposal would require all aircraft flying in the busiest U.S. airspace to have satellite-based avionics by 2020, which wouid enable air tra�c controllers to track aircraft by satellites using a system lrnown as Automatic Dependent Surveillance Broadcast (ADS-B), which FAA said is ten times more accurate than current radar technology. Aircraft that are not flying in controlled airspace will not be required to have ADS-B avionics but may choose to do so in order to realize the safety benefits, the agency said. "Aviation must take the big step into the ne�ct generation of technology," said Acting FAA Administrator Bobby Sturgell. "It's safer and more accurate. Satellite technology is here to stay." The ten-fold increase in accuracy of satellite signals will allow air traffic control- lers to reduce separation standards between aircraft, significantiy increasing the number of aircraft that can be safely managed in the nation's skies, FAA ex- (Continued on p. 136) Airspace Redesign COALITIONS OF TOWNS POOLING FUNDS TO FIGHT AII25PACE REI)ESIGN I'I2(��C'I' Unable to fund expensive legal battles on their own, coalitions of towns in Connecticut and New Jersey are pooling their resources in regional efforts to challenge the Federal Aviation Administration's approval of the controversial New YorklNew Jersey/Philadelphia airspace redesign project, which FAA says is needed to reduce congestion and delay at East Coast airports. On Oct. 4, representatives of 10 towns in Connecticut (Greenwich, New Canaan, Darien, Wilton, Stamford, Norwalk, Weston, Westport, Redding, Ridgefield) and one town in New York (Pound Ridge), drew up a memorandum of understanding under which they agreed to share the cost of fighting the airspace redesign, which could be $1 million. The FA.A airspace redesign will shift arrival paths for LaGuardia Airport east over Fairfield County, CT, and part ofNew York. Yesterday, o�cials of the towns in the coalition interviewed law firms and lobbyists to assemble a team to fight the FAA on two fronts: in court and at the political level.

Air traffic is projected to grow from 740 million passengers last year to one billion in 2015 and doubie today's levels by 2025, according to the FAA. Under a contract awarded last month to ITT Corporation (19 ANR 119), ground stations for the new ADS-B system will be brought online across the country, starting in the East Coast, portions of the Midwest, Alaska and the Gulf of Mexico. Nationwide coverage is expected by 2013. Pilots viewing ADS-B cockpit displays are able to see, in real time, their location in relation to other aircraft, bad weather, and terrain. In Southwest Alaska, the fatal accident rate for ADS-B-equipped aircraft has dropped by 47 percent. The FAA's proposed rule was issued as a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking in the Oct. 5 Federal Register. It is open for public cornment for 90 days and is scheduled to become f nal by late 2009. The proposed compliance date of 2020 will give industry more than 10 years to properly equip aircraftwith ADS-B avionics. Airlines Pleased with Proposal James C. May, president and CEO of the Air Transport Association (ATA), said, "Initial indications are that the NPRM appears to be in line with industry expectations and is an important step on the path to NextGen. But we do face a dilemma. On the one hand, we commend FAA for recog- nizing the need to aggressively transition to NextGen but, on the other hand, Congress is failing to create the needed reforms to equitably pay for that transition. If we fail to address the tough issue of funding, NextGen won't happen and today's capacity crunch in the Northeast wili be a national crisis." ATA said that ADS-B is the cornerstone ofNextGen and will enable further safety, capacity, efficiency, and environ- mental benefits. �Iouse to I�old �Iearings on Contract Meanwhile, the Subcommittee on Aviation of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, announced that it will hold a hearing on the ADS-B contract that FAA awarded to ITT Corporation on Oct. 17. ITT beat out two rivals for that contract: Raytheon and Lockheed Martin. Lockheed was considered the front-runner for the contract and had worked on FAA's ADS-B pilot program in Alaska. Comments Due by Jan. 3 Public comments on the FAA's proposed rulemaking must be submitted by Jan. 3, 2008.

Litigation, from p. 135 warned local officials that they face an uphill fight against the FAA, which has an impressive record for getting its way in airspace matters. "I' ll be blunt, we're sort of in unchartered waters," Blumenthal told residents supporting the litigation, which he said represents "a last best hope." Another coalition of 10 mayors in Pascack Valley, in Bergen County, NJ, has filed an objection to the FAA's Final Environmental Impact Statements (FEIS) on the airspace redesign. The objection was submitted by the Princeton, NJ, law firm Potter & Dickson and attacked the FEIS as being "insuffi- cient and incomplete" with respect to environmental justice. Upper Saddle River, NJ, has joined the coalition, also contributing $5,000 to a joint litigation fund. An interlocal agreement allows municipalities in the area to join the Pascack Valley effort. Thus far, four lawsuits have been fiied in various federal courts challenging the airspace redesign by the City of Elizabeth, NJ; Delaware County, PA; Rockland County, NY; and the New Jersey Coalition Against Aircraft Noise (NJCAA), a citizens group. Flight Tracking ♦ 1 ♦ � A , - . . ., .1' _ : I Santa Clara County, CA, has selected Era Corporation to install its airport noise and operations management system, AirScene.comNOMS, integrated with Era's multilateration flight tracking system. "We are excited about the next generation flight tracking capabilities that Era's ADS-B and multilateration technology offer to Santa Clara County and other [San Francisco] Bay Area airport," said Ken Betts, airport noise abatement manager for the County. "Reid Hillview Airport, the largest of the three County- owned and operated airports, is experiencing a period of growth and renovation," Era explained. "Airport officials realized the increasing need for a high-performance surveil- lance solution capable of flight tracking and noise monitoring to mitigate the effects of aircraft noise on the surrounding community. The scalability ofEra's system will enable future expansion of the NOMS to the other two county airports: ' Era said that it currently is the only NOMS provider that uses integrated multilateration surveillance, which the firm says offers significant benefits over traditional radar. "We are proud to have been selected by the County of Santa Clara— it shows growing conftdence in integrated multilaterationNOMS technology,"saidBill Colligan, Era's vice president and general manger for Airport Operations Solutions. Multilateration, or hyperbolic positioning, is described by Airport Noise Report C C C October 5, 2007 Era as: "the process of locating an object based on the Time Difference of Arrival (TDOA) of a signal emitted from that object to three or more sensors. VJhen a signal is transmitted from an object, it will be received by two spacially separate sensors at different times. The time difference is then used to calculate the object's position. By using three or more sensors, a complete position analysis can be attainted. "ForATC [airtraffic control] applications, multilateration provides the same level of fleet coverage as traditional SSR [secondary surveillance radar] (i.e. all aircraft or vehicles equipped with an operational Mode A, Mode C, or Mode S transponder). Multilateration will generally provide a higher accuracy, greater update rate, better coverage, and irnproved reliability when compared to traditional SSR, and will do so at a much lower initial cost and with lower annual mainte- nance costs:' The ADS-B (Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast) system is a network of ground stations that will be used to relay information on air traffic to pilots and air traffic controllers. The FAA recently awarded a contract worth up to $1.8 billion to ITT Corporation to construct the system, which will serve as the backbone of the Federal Aviation Administration'sNext Generation (NextGen) airtr�c control system (10 ANR 119). Era was not on the ITT team selected for the FAA contract but recently was awarded patents covering fundamental attributes ofADS-B and multilateration. Invited onto ]European Group In related news, Era announced on Sept. 28 that it has been invited to participate on the International Cooperation on Airport Surveillance (ICAS), as an industry partner. Mem- bers of ICAS come from all over Europe and Russia to share best practices in areas of technology deployment, proce- dures, and infrastructure constraints relating to airport surveillance systems, with an emphasis on advanced surface guidance and control systems. ICAS includes airports, air navigation service providers, and Eurocontrol "What makes IGAS even more beneficial is the inclusion of regulatory authorities, research and development (R&D) firms, and various other leading organizations in the ii�dustry, allowing members to collaborate and further expand the collective knowiedge base of airport suLveil- lance," Era said. Land Use Planning �� ,.� ��;, ,. � � . � • � �� i The Department of Defense is in the process of inerging New 7ersey's three largest military bases (Lakehurst Naval Air Engineering Station, McGuire Air Force Base, and Army Fort Dix) into one joint use base that will be among the largest on the East Coast, spanning 20 miles from the densely-developed east coast of New Jersey inland to rural areas. 137 With all three services planning to use the base for aircraft training missions, the number of annual aircraft operations is expected to dramatically increase over the next few years from 8,000 to 80,000, significantly expanding noise contours. Realizing that civilian land use planning around the base could affect its operations, this summer military planners began meeting with their civilian counterparts in local jurisdictions around the bases to synchronize land use planning efforts, especially within five miles of the base border. Ocean County, NJ, leaders recently approved an agreement with the Navy under which they would cooperatively purchase open land around the base in an ef£ort to block residential encroachment. Ocean County also accepted a$270,000 grant from the Department of Defense that will fund a joint land use study with Surlington County, NJ, and several towns near the military bases. Ocean Gounty is the lead agency for the land use study and plans to issue a Request for Proposals by early November for consultants to conduct the study, according to David McKeon, planning director for Ocean County. DOD has already approved the draft RFP, he said. Ocean County also began purchasing land near the base on its own to b�ock residential encroachment. Ocean County officiais said they are one of the first places in the country where the military brariches are working with each other and with surrounding communities on compatible land use development. Conservation Easement The Navy is concerned about residential development north and south of the joint base. In an effort to block residential encroachment to the south, the Navy has partnered with the New Jersey Green Acres program in order to obtain conservation easements in cranberry bogs. To protect encroaclunent to the north, the Navy has asked local officials and the New Jersey Pinelands Commission to revise zoning in the Pinelands to reduce residential develop- ment or to cluster it in areas away from significant noise impact. The New Jersey Pineland is a rural conservation area but some residential development is allowed. In 2005, the Base Realignment and Closing Commission (BRAC) ordered that several small airfields in Pennsylvania and Ohio be closed and their aircraft transferred to the new jointLakehurst-McGuire-FortDix base. The process of joining the bases is expected to be com- pleted within a year. The Navy plans to construct a 3,500-foot runway on its property for use by Air Force C-17 Giobemaster III transport aircraft based at McGuire. The Navy base also is the sight for testing a new electromagnetic aircraft launch systern that will replace steann-powered catapult systems used on Na�y ships for lauching aircraft. In addition, the NJ National Guard will move it entire helicopter operation to the joint base. Airport Noise Report October 5, 2007 , . 1 ��' • II! ,I� �• C�,'• � John J. Corbett, Esq.

The congress, which occurs only once every five years, brings together the world's leading experts on noise effects and related noise policies to share their recent work and to use their insights to plan new r�search directions for the next five years. Participants at the ICBEN Congresses come from the research, business, industrial, and govemmental communities. A special Noise Effects Workshop to address issues related to sleep disturbance and to the non-auditory physiological health effects of noise also is being planned in conjunction with the ICBEN meeting. Those interested in helping sponsor the ICBEN Congress should contact LawrenceFinegold, vicepresidentofthe Congress, attel: (937) 371-4833; e- mail: LSFinegold@earthlink.net; or Dr Jerry Tohias, president of the Con- gress, attel: (860) 572-068�; e-mail: icben2008@sbcglobal.net. Flan to Address Long Island Helicopter Noise On Oct. l, a committee of local airport managers, helicopter operators, and Federal Aviation Administration o�cials met in the office of Sen. Charles Schumer (D-NY) to begin developing a plan to reduce increasing noise from low-flying helicoptars over portions of Long Island by shifting flight paths. Schumer said that consensus was reached at the meeting to eliminate a helicopter route over the mid-section of Long Island and that the committee will explore the feasibility of having helicopters fly at higher altitudes and over water when near the north and south shores of the island. The commit- tee was formed after noise complaints about helicopter noise increased sharply. Schumer said that finding a compromise between helicopter opera- tors and residents upset about noise will not be easy. FAA officials said they were confident that a solution could be found. PA�2.'TNN��t Adds Associ�t� D'areetor The research consortium PARTNER (Partnership for AiR Transportation Noise and Emissions Reduction) announced that it has apppointed Dr. Stuart Jacobson as its first associate director. His prime responsibility will be to assist PARTNER Director Dr. Ian Waitz with the overall leadership and management of the consortium which has a growing portfolio of research projects. Jacobson was formeriy deputy director of the MIT Technology Gas Turbine Lab's Microengine Project and has a Ph.D. in mechanical engineering. AIRPD.RT NOISE REPORT Anue H.

In addition I� iecently reviewed a letter,. dated September 19, 2007, from the Noise 4versights Committee (NOC) at the Minneapolis/St. Paul International ,Airport (MSP) to your attention expressing airport noise concerns on behalf of residents in central Eagan. As detailed in the September 19'i' NOC letter, residents living in the central portion of the City of Eagan have been experiencing increased aircraft overflights during�the nighttime hours at MSP. It apgears that use of the FAA's previo�usly approved and implemented Runway Use System (RUS) at MSP during the lower demand nighttirne periods at MSP provides a worka�ble solutian. I am writing in support of the request analyzed and articulated by the NOC in ttieir Sepiember 19, 2007 letter to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).

That funding level is $14.8 million less than the $303.1 million the FAA awarded in noise mitigation grants in fisca12006 (18 ANR 125). AIP funding for noise mitigation projects totaled $337.1 million in fisca12005, $315.08 million in fiscal 2004, $2�3.8 million in fisca12003, and$277.01 million in fisca12002. The $288.3 million in noise grants awarded in fisca12007 includes: . $212.9 million for sound insulation ofhomes and public buildings ($156.3 million for hornes and $56.5 million forpublic buildings, mostly schools); • $5.6 million to conduct noise compatibility planning studies; • $67.8 million to aequire land for noise compatibility; and • $1.9 million to install airport noise monitoring systems. The AIP grants represent only one of two federal funding sources available to airport proprietors to fund noise mitigation projects. The other funding source is revenue from Passenger Facility Charges (PFCs). ANRwill report noise mitigation projects funded by PFCs in fisca12007, which ended on Sept. 30, later this fall. FAA has now awarded airports roughly $4.7 billion in noise-related grants under its AIP program since that program began in 1982. Almost one-third of the $228.3 million in noise grants awarded in fisca12007 went to just three airport proprietors: the Port Authority ofNew York/New Jersey for Newark, LaGuardia, JFIC, and Teterboro; the City of Chicago for O'Hare and Midway; and the City of Los Angeles for Los Angeles International. Together, these three airport proprietors received a total of $85.7 million in AIP noise grants for residential and/or school sound insulation projects. Other airports that received among the highest amounts of grants for home and school sound insulation projects were Burbank Bob Hope ($7 million), San Diego ($10 million), San Jose ($6 million), Louisville ($10 million), Tulsa ($6.9 million), and San Antonio ($6 million}. The largest noise grants for land purchases went to Birmingham ($15 million), Cincinnati ($9.2 miilion), St. Louis ($6.5 million), ProvidenceT.F. Green ($10 million), and Seattle-Tacoma($7.7 million). In f scal 2007, airports received: *$7.3 million less for insulation than in fisca12006; *$2.6 million less for noise compatibility planning studies than in fisca12006; *$435,0191ess for acquisition of land/easements than in fisca12006; and �$1.4 million less for noise monitoring systems than in fiscal 2006.

Following is the total amount airports pian to collect for each category, as of Sept. 30, 2007, as well as the percentage that category represents of the total PFCs for noise mitigation being collected: • $1.28 billion (45.8 percent) formulti-phase projects; • $1.003 billion (35.7 percent) for soundproofing; • $473.6 million (16.9 percent) to purchase land; • $15.5 million (0.6 percent) fornoisemonitoring systems; • $15.2 million (0.5 percent) formiscellaneous projects; and � $14.8 million (0.5 percent) forplanning. 91 Airports Using P�Cs for Noise 1VIitigation A total of 91 airports were using PFCs for noise mitigation projects as of Sept. 30, 20�7; one rnore aiiports than ayear earlier. Buffalo Niagara International Airport got FAA approval to use $1.9 million in PFC revenue fora multi-phase noise mitigation proj ect in fisca12007. Two other airports that already have PFC-funded noise mitigation projects added to them: Nashville International will use $200,000 in PFC revenue to fund a no9se monitoring project and New Orleans International is devoting $23,858 in PFC revenue for noise mitigation planning. The top 15 airports targeting PFC revenue for noise mitigation projects remain unchanged from last year: Los Angeles International continues to lead at $703.4 million, followedby Chicago O'Hareinternational ($411 million),Minneapolis-St. Paul International ($219.6 million), Phoenix Sky Harbor International ($169.3 million), Chicago Midway ($128.9 million), San JoseInternational ($121.2 million), Seattle-Tacoma International ($115.6 million), Bob Hope Airport in Burbank, CA ($94.8 million), Ontario International ($84.7 million), ClevelandHopkins Interna- tional ($78.4 m illion), Lambert-St. Louis International ($63.3 million), Cincinnati/ Northern Kentucky International ($61.1 million), Louisville International ($58.9 million), Charlotte-Douglas International ($58.7 million), and Las Vegas McCarran Intemational ($51.7 million). PFCs are only one source of revenue that airports use to fund noise mitigation projects. The other funding stream is the FA.A's Airport Improvement Program. Data on AIP grants for noise mitigation were reported earlier (19 ANR 139). Those data show that, in fisca12007, some 63 airports received a total of $288.3 million in federal AIP grants for noise mitigation projects. 148 October 19, 2007 In This Issue... PFCs ... This special issue of ANR provides data ob- tained from the Federal Aviation Administration on airports that are collecting Passenger Facility Charges (PFCs) to support various noise mitigation projects. The data show that 91 airports, one more than last year, are now imposing PFCs to reduce noise impacts. Approximately $2.8 billion in PFCs is now being imposed by airports fornoise mitigation projects, up $34.4 million from ayear ago when ANR last reported PFC data. Los Angeles Int'1 remains at the head ofthe pack with $703.4 million inPFCs targeted fornoisemitigation, followedby Chicago O'Hare ($411 million), andMinneapolis-St. Paullnt'1 ($219.6million). Table l, showing a break- down of ail airport projects being supported byPFCs, begins on p.149. Table 2, showing PFCs being collected by category of noise project, begins on p.150. Table 3, showing PFCs being collected by individual airports, begins on p.160. October 19, 2007 Table l.

The hearing was held at the request of iwo New York lawmakers who represent districts around LaGuardia and JFK International Airport and are demanding that thePoit Authority ofNew York and New Jersey (PANYNJ) begin insulating homes around its airports. But Rep. James Oberstar (D-MN), chairman of the Committee, and Rep. Jerry Costello (D-IL), chairman of the Aviation Subcommittee, used the hearing as az7 opporiunity to receive input on the status of aviation noise mitigation from a panel representing the Federal Aviation Administration, the General Accounting O�ce (GAO), the PANYNJ, the Airports Council International —North America (ACI- NA), the O'Hare Noise Compatibility Commission, Pratt & Whitney, and the National Organization to Insure a Sound-controlled Environment (NOISE). Oberstar wrote in his opening statement, "During hearings in 1990 on federal aviation noise policy, I observed that even if we succeed in `increasing air traffic (Continued on p. 172) Minneapolis-St. Paul Int'l SEZ'TI,ElVIEN'T 1'ROVYIDES $130 M�LaON 'I'O II�TSiTI.�ATE, r�.0 HC910�IES �T 60-64 COl�'I"O[JI2 Up to $130 million will be provided to soundproof or air condition over 5,000 homes in the 60=64 dB DNL contour ofMinneapolis-St. Paul Intemational Airport under a settlement agreement reached between the Metropolitan Airports Commis- sion (MAC) and the cities of Minneapolis, Richfield, and Eagan. The $130 settlement is double the $65 million agreed to in the MAC's earlier settlement in June of a separate class action lawsuit filed by 4,400 property owners in the 60-64 DNL contour of MSP and is four times the last amount offered by the MAC prior to lawsuits being filed. MAC Chairman Jack Lanners called the settlement "a reasonable, financially responsible plan" before the MAC cornmission voted unanimously to approve it on Oct.15. By Oct. 17, the three cities had approved it, and on Oct. 19, Judge Stephen Aldrich of Hennepin CounTy Court signed the consent decree outlining the settlement. It still must be approved by the members of the class action lawsuit but they have indicated their acceptance. The deal will be null and void unless the FAA advises the MAC by Nov. 30 that the settlement agreement is an appropriate use of aiiport revenue and consistent with federal grant obligations. "Our goal is to achieve a single settlement of both lawsuits," Lanners said. (Continued on p. 173) In 7'his .Issue. . . Congress :..

Today, this statement is still true. Noise abatement, like runways, is a capacity issue" Oberstar and Costello have been observing the strong, negative reaction by communities in Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut that will get increased noise impact from FAA's plan to revise the airspace in the NY/I�1J/PHL metropolitan area. They may decide that it is time for Congress to revisit the aviat'ton noise issue in an effort to make it less of a barrier to sorely-needed capacity increases. The two chairmen also noted that FAA has estimated that aircraft noise and emissions could increase between 140-200 percent over the next 20 years and become a signiftcant constraint on planned increases in aviation capacity. GAO Report The GAO testimony was in the form of a report, "Aviation and the Environment: Impact ofAviation Noise on Commu- nities Presents Challenges for Airport Operations and Future Growth of the National Airspace System," which was released the day of the hearing and is available at: http:// www.gao.gov/cgi-bin/getrpt?GAO-08-216T. The report found that the major challenges for reducing the effects of aviation noise are "continuing to make technological advances; obtaining substantial funding — from the federal government for NextGen in particular and from industry for equipping aircraft with new technologies — and cooperating on land-use issues." "Next steps," GAO said, "could include state and local actions to limit incompatible development, FAA's issuance of guidance related to the disposal of land acquired with federal funding for noise mitigation purposes, and the passage of legislation that would address environmental issues, including the reduction of aviation noise:' How to best use limited federal funding for aircraft noise mitigation was on the minds of several Aviation Subcommit- tee members. Noting that airports have spent $8 billion in Airport Improvement Program grants and Passenger Facility Charge revenue on aircraft noise mitigation projects, Rep. John Duncan (R-TN), Ranking Member ofthe Subcommittee, asserted that "serious progress" has been made in reducing aircraft noise impact and that it might be time to consider whether it would be better to direct funding away from sound insulation projects. But Mayor Arlene Mulder, chair of the O'Hare Noise Compatibility Commission, stressed that the residential sound insulation program around O'Hare "has been the most effective way to reach people." Sound insulation will be provided to residents in the path of new runways under construction at O'Hare before they are even completed, she told the Subcommittee. 172 Dr. Gerald Dillingham, GAO's director ofPhysicai Infra- structure Issues, said that directing more funding to research and development would produce "the most bang for the buck." He told the Subcommittee that he was concerned about significant cuts that have been made over the past decade in the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's aeronautics R&D program which limits its ability to advance new technologies to the point where the aviation industry can easily integrate them into aircraft. Sut Carl Burleson, director of FAA's Office of Environment and Energy, said that provisions in the new FAA reauthoriza- tion bill, such the Continuous Low Emissions, Energy and Noise (CLEEN) engine program, will address that gap. Are Tradeoffs Needed? Rep. Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC) questioned FAA's decision to develop new models that allow "tradeoffs" to be considered between aircraft noise, emissions, and fuel burn. Noting that the airlines are most concerned about the cost of fuel, Norton said, "Noise is being left between a rock and a hard place, and i find that very disconcerting." Norton would not accept Burieson's answer that tradeofFs are required because technology that reduces engine noise and fuel burn can cause increases in NOx. She reasserted that all three problems must be reduced at the same time, adding, "The question is `Does Congress need to do anything to drive this unusual challenge of dealing wi.th several priorities at the same time?" Alan Epstein, vice president, Technology and Environment for Pratt & Whitney, stressed in his testimony that new Geared Turbofan engines being developed by P&W can achieve exceptionally low noise levels "without compromis- ing other env3ronmental goals, such as reduced CO2 and emissions." Asked by Norton if the new technology could reduce all three concerns (noise, fuel, and emissions), Epstein said `yes." WhatAirports Want Deborah McElroy, ACI-NA's executive vice president for Policy and Eternal Affairs, urged the Subcommittee to consider the development of new flight procedures and to make the environmental studies required to support such procedures eligible for AIP funding, even if they are not detailed in an airport's Part 150 program. ACI-NA aiso said it supported more sU•ingent International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) noise standards for newly-certificated aircraft and "better use of noise programs tailored to the unique airport noise mitigation problems to more effectively address community concerns:' All of the testimony presented at the hearing is available at the House T&I Committee website: http:// . transportation.house.gov. Click on "hearings." Crowley Wants PANYJ to Insulate Homes The subcommittee held the hearing at the request of Reps. Joseph Crowley (D-NY) and Carolyn McCarthy (D-NY), Airport Noise Report � C C� October 26, 2007 whose constituents live around LaGuardia and JFK Interna- tional airports. They are demanding that the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey begin a residential sound insulation program for homeowners near the airports. The hearing afforded them the opportunity to ask the PANYNJ why it has chosen not to participate in FAA's Part 150 program and why it does not insulate homes around its airports while other large airports like Los Angeles Interna- tional and Chicago O'Hare International Airport do. Ralph Tragale, manager of Government and Community Relations for PANYNJ, told the Subcommittee the Port Authority's noise mitigation program pre-dates the FAA's Part 150 program and was the model for the FAA program. He stressed that the Port Authority has insulated 78 schools around its airports at a cost of $400 million, and that it would have been an "imprudent" use of federal funds to insulate homes when the so many have come out of the high noise contours over the years. Crowley said that if the Subcommittee would not compel the PANYNJ to insulate homes around its airports, he will add Ianguage to the FAA Reauthorization bill working its way though the House to "strengthen laws regarding soundproofing of homes and places of worship and mandate soundproofing and other forms of noise abatement for people living in the footprints of our nation's largest or busiest airports." It is unlikely the House would accept such language. MSP, fror�z p. I71 The litigation stems from a dispute over the extent of sound insulation the MAC promised to provide homeowners in the 60-64 DNL contour of MSP as a condition of expand- ing the airport at its present location rather than relocating it to a greenfield site. The cities contended that the MAC had promised the full sound insulation package to homeowners in the 60-64 DNL contour. The settlement does not provide the full sound insulation package to all residents in the 60-64 DNL contour but it does provide far more to them than the MAC's final proposal, which would have required homeowners to fund some portion of air conditioning they would receive. The settlement provides the following: • In the 63-64 DNL contour, almost 432 homes would get the full sound insulation package (windows, doors, and central air conditioning) by the end of 2009; • In the 60-62 DNL contour, some 3,421 homes that lack central air conditioning can get it installed and also receive $4,000 in other noise reduction improvements. The 1,923 homes that already have central air conditioning or choose not to have it installed, will get up to $14,000 in noise dampening products. This work must be completed by the end of 2012; • In the 60-64 DNL contour,1,931 multi-family units will get through-wall air conditioning, if they do not have it, by the end of 2010; • Single family homes in which the owners previously opted out of the insulation program but whose current 173 owners want in it, would share up to $7 miilion in insulation aid with work to be completed by 2014; � MAC also agreed to pay the cities $2.5 million in attorney's fees. The MAC already has spent $246 million to insulate more than 7,800 homes in the 65 DNL and higher contour ofMSP. In Brief ...

Lochard WebTrak 2.0 Deployed at San Jose Lochard announced Oct. 22 that San Jose International Airport has replaced its airport noise monitoring system with Lochard's WebTrak 2.0 system, which provides public access to the airport's flight, noise, and weather information in near real-time. Lochard describes its WebTrak 2.0 system, which was deployed at San Jose in five days, "a quantum leap in public display technology for airports." The system displays historical data, aircraft positions and altitudes, flight information, and any recorded noise levels. It also allows users to easily select their location to see what is relevant to their area and to enter queries and complaints online, directly to the airport's noise rnanagement system. "We have had a long-standing commitment to provide our community with convenient access to information about our airport's operations," said San Jose International Operations Manager Curt Eikerman. "We selected WebTrak because it met our specifications that enable us to use new technology and improve our service for our neighbors." Lochard said that San Jose International is the tenth U.S. airport, and the 16�' airport worldwide to deploy WebTrak. "WebTrak 2.0 really raises the bar in airport community outreach and we are thrilled by the response from aiiports around the globe," said Robert Brodecky, vice president Lochard Arnericas. "WebTrak 2.0 invites communi- ties to learn about procedures around the airport and gives them opportuni- ties to see airport operations and the noise they create for themselves. This greater understanding helps to build tolerance and streamlines communica- tion which is good for everyone" AIRPORT NOISE REPORT AnneH.

Nine towns also joined the lawsuit, which asks the court to rescind the new #light paths because the FAA failed to consider and analyze the impact of in- creased noise on residents and state parks. Thosetowns areNew Canaan, Wilton, Darien, Stamford, Greenwich, Ridgefield, Weston, and Westport, CT, and Purchase, NY. Connecticut is the first state to chailenge the I'AA plan. It follows similar lawsuits filed by the City of Elizabeth, NJ; Delaware County, PA; Rocktand County, NY; and the New Jersey Coalition Against Aircraft Noise. Connecticut Gov. M. Jodi Rell said that the lawsuit was filed on behalf of the state Department of Environmental Protection. She asserted that increased air traffic over southwestern Connecticut — as many as 150 additional planes per day — and enlarged holding patterns over many towns in Fairfield County Connecticut were "unacceptable." (Continued on p. 176) Sound Insulatio� ,; :- ., - -� ; - ,�: - .�`I'�;"` ,�� .., � - �; • • � The recent $130 million settlement of litigation over the extent of sound insula- tion that was promised in conjunction with the expansion of Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport sends a signal to airports that they must follow ttu•ough with their noise mitigation commitments, according to John Putnam of the Denver law f rm Kaplan Kirsch & Rockwell. Putnam was one of the lead attorneys in the case, filed by the cities of Mirine- apolis, Richfield, and Eagan, after the cities concluded that the Metropolitan Airports Commission (MAC), the proprietor of MSP International, had reneged on a promise to provide the full sound insulation package — that homeowners in the 65 dB DNL and higher contours received—to homeowners in the 60-64 dB DNL contour. Following through with mitigation commitments is critical for both airports and airport communities, Putnam told ANR. "A lack of trust regarding whether an airport would deliver promised mitigation will lead to extended and unnecessary conflicts regarding proposed capacity projects. To reduce community opposition and delay, airports need to have the flexibility to provide meaningful mitigation and communities need assurance that the airport will actually provide it."

I IlVIl�R� has opening foraviation noiseconsultant in itsBurlington, MA, office - p. 177 November 2, 2007 "The FAA Redesign Plan would bring unacceptable impacts to Connecticut and particularly to this region of our state, and we wili do everything we can to derail this plan," the governor said. "Working together, we can defeat this plan. Working together, we were able to save our sub base. And working together, we can sa�e our airspace." Gov. Rell continued, "This is about environmental, safety, and quality of life issues. Increased noise levels and emissions fi•om more planes flying lower will damage our quality of life, our environment, and potentialiy the property taxes in the affected towns. We must do everything in our power to oppose this plan, and that is exactly what we will do." 'PowerfulPartnership' Connecticut Attorney General Richard Blumenthal said, "We have forged a powerful partnership against the FAA's ill-conceived plan to route too many planes too low over southeastern Connecticut. As I ha�e pledged before, I will fight as long and hard as necessary, even to the U.S. Supreme Court. The FAA rushed to reroute, failing to consider alternatives, and environmental and quality of life impacts. The FAA needs to cool its jets and change course." "Safety and e�ciency are critical but the FAA can relieve aiiport congestion without bombarding southeastern Connecticut with the roar of low-flying aircraft. We will fight to force complete revision of these flight paths to reduce noise pollution and environmental damage." Blumenthal said that, to his knowledge, the FAA failed to acknowledge, let alone consider, the impact of increased noise on southwestern Connecticut residents and state parks. In doing so, the FAA violated the Nationa] Environ- mental Policy Act, which requires the agency to consider noise impacts when rerouting flights. Blumenthai said that the FAA should "revise landing and takeoff angles, minimum altitudes, and management of nighttime flights to reduce the impact of the new flight paths." The nine towns challenging the FAA airspace redesign ptan formed a coalition in October in order to spread the cost of the litigation (19 ANR 135). They are represented by Steven Pflaum of the Chicago law firm McDermott, W ill & Emery. MSP, from p. 175 The MAC committed to providing noise insulation for homes in the DNL 60-65 in the environmental review process for the new Runway 17/35 at MSP as a means of speeding the project along, Putnam said. "When the MAC reneged on its commitments after the runway was almost complete, the surrounding communities were compelled to sue to make MAC live up to its commitments under Minne- sota law. The settlement is a fair resolution of this case and will provide significant benefits to residents," Putnam said. 176 Regarding the significance of the case to insulation outside the 65 DNL contour, Putnam said the MSP case relied on facts and law specific to MSP, so it does not answer ques- tions at other airports about the extent of noise insulation programs or impacts beyond the DNL 65 contour. "It just underlines those questions," he told ANR. The final $130 million MSP settlement did not provide the full sound insulation package to all those living in the 60-64 dB DNL contour but it was four times the amount the MAC had offered before the litigation (19 ANR 171). Ft. Lauderdale GettingPublic Input In related news, Broward County, FL, Board of Commis- sioners is trying to establish "noise mitigation principles" regarding the proposed extension of a runway at Ft. Lauder- dale-Hollywood Internationa] Airport. The County invited the public to comment on broad proposed Noise Mitigation Principles concerning the runway extension at a Nov. 6 Commission meeting. Following the meeting and public input, the Commission expects to vote to authorize Aviation Director Kent George to submit a letter to the Federai Aviation Administration outlining Broward County's proposed Noise Mitigation Principles. The FAA will consider these principles for inclusion in the final environmental impact statement and the Record of Decision on the runway extension project, which has been very controversial due to its noise impact. The Noise Mitigation Principles proposed by the County include: Apply the long-term/uitimate contour; Establish mitigation areas based on neighborhoods; Acquire mobile home parks in the+65 DNL contour; Soundproofing and easements; Purchase assurance/sales guarantee; and Voluntaiy acquisition of residentially zoned vacant parcels. Aircraft UPS RETIRES 727-100s AFTER 20 YEA12S OF SEI2VICE UPS quietly retired the last of its fleet of 727-100s in October, gradually taking out of service, over a three year period, the 51727-100 aircraft that had been in service for almost 20 years. FedEx finished retiring the last of its fleet of 68 727-100s in 7une. Boeing delivered 727-100s from 1964 to 1973 and they had to be either hushkitted or re-engined to meet Stage 3 noise standards that came into effect in 2000, according to Armando Tovar, noise ofFcer for the Raleigh-Durham Airport Authority. He tracks hushkitted aircraft in North America because they only marginally meet Stage 3 noise standards Airport Noise Report November 2, 2007 and contribute significantly to annual noise exposore at airports. The UPS 727-100s, he said, were much quieter than those operated by FedEx because UPS opted to re-engine them with Stage 3 Rolls Royce Tay engines. Fed Ex, on the other hand, hushkitted the Stage 2 Pratt & Whitney JT8D-7B engines on its 727-100 fleet with the FedEx lightweight hushkits which are not as quiet at the Tays. UPS has added wide-body A300-600 aircraft to its fleet for use on domestic routes and also operates nanow-body 757- 200 and DC8-70 aircraft on domestic routes. FedEx, Tovar said, has added wide-body DC 10-10, DC 10-3 0, A300-600, A310-200, and A310-300 aircraft to its fleet on domestic routes. FedEx also continues to use its hushkitted narrow-body 727-200 aircraft on domestic routes. Hushkitted 727-100s are still being operated in very small numbers in North America by WestCan, Gulf & Caribbean Air, and Roush Air, according to Tovar. Hushkitted 727-200s are still in wide use by a number of small cargo companies in the United States and Canada as well as FedEx, he said. FedEx still has 92 hushkitted 727-200s in its fleet; down from 95, Tovar said. They wil] be replaced by converted 757-200s between 2008 and 2016. UPS retired eight hushkitted 727-200 aircraft in 2003 and no longer operates hushkitted aircraft. Their DC8-70s were re- engined in the 1980s. 70 Percent Reduction Since 2000 In testimony presented to the House Aviation Subcommit- tee at an Oct. 14 hearing, Carl Burleson, director of the FAA's Office of Environment and Energy, reported that there has been nearly a 70 percent reduction in the number of older, hushkitted aircraft being operated in the United States since 2000. However, he said, "a resurgence in aircra$ operations has begun to reverse the downward trend of noise exposure." In B�ief� Handbookon Noise, Vibration A new 1,600-page reference book, "Handbook ofNoise and Vibration Control," intended to be the definitive source on noise and vibration control for engineers, scientists, and reseas•chers, was published by John Wiley & Sons, Inc. in October. The new reference book addresses a range of topics in acoustics and vibration, focusing on applications to industrial needs. It includes sections on transportation noise and vibration and community and environmental noise and vibration prediction and control. The chapter on aircraft and airport noise prediction and control was written by Nicholas Miller and Eugene Reindel ofHarris MillerMiller & Hanson Inc., as well as acoustical consultant Richard Horonjeff: The reference book was edited by Malcolm J. Crocker, PhD, Distinguished University Professor in the Mechanical 177 Engineering Department of Auburn University. He also serves as editor of the "International Journal of Acoustics and Vibration." The price of the book is $195 and it can be ordered by calling 1-800-225-5945 in the U.S. or 1-800-567-4797 in Canada. EIS forNew Friedman Airport The Federal Aviation Administration announced Nov. 1 that it intends to prepare an environmental impact statement to consider the siting and construction of a replacement airport for the Friedman Memorial Airport in Hailey, Idaho, wh3ch served the Sun Valley resort area of south-central Idaho. The airport does not meet FAA airfield design standards at its current location and all alternatives for expanding the airport at the existing site are extremely costly and extend into residential areas, FAA said. Local officials ha�e decided to evaluate the environmental impacts of building and operating an airport meeting FAA design standards and supporting an instrument approach. The agency said that several alternative sites will be evaluated in the EIS as will the no-action alternative. The Bureau of Land Management is involved in the project because some of the alternatives to be considered are on BLS land.
