Chair Petschel suggested that the Commissioners be mentally prepared to listen to the public and complaints at the meeting, as it had been well publicized and may produce a good turnout. It was the decision of the Commission to meet 6:00-6:20 p.m., before the Open House, on August 6 to approve nainutes, receive a quick update on legislative issues, and the main agenda item. The City Administrator will provide AR.0 nametags, ARC brochures, and Plan of Action brochures to hand out at the Open House. Commissioners were invited to join Chair Petschel at 7:30 p.m. on July 17 for the City Council meeting. � E. Updates for Introduction Book No information included in the packet.

Airport Noise Report, June 22, 2007 D. Airport Noise Report, June 29, 2007 Chair Petschel commented that distributed technical reports are a month off but said she ran the June numbers and they were about the same as May's, with daytime depariures and night-time operations being the most important. She said the new report now being submitted by Mr. Levque is more accurate than the previous version. Corrunissioner Linnihan com�nented that he has seen departures overhead in unusual areas, and Chair Petschel said she wondered if recent windy days weren't affecting how planes were being sent off the runway, also noting that new controllers might be using different configurations. Discussion ensued about Eagan's increased complaints due to the more equitable use of Runway 17. Chair Petschel noted that 12L and 12R were utilized more at night and she was seeing a discrepancy in trend between Mendota Heights and Eagan. The City Administrator was asked to highlight significant numbers from the reports and have them in hand at the upcoxning NOC meeting, if needed. Commissioner Ehrlich said the increase was likely due to regional jets being closer to gates, and Chair Petschel responded that it wasn't an excuse for inequitable distribution. Commissioner Linnihan observed that taxi times have been worse than in the recent past. Councilmember Krebsbach said facts are unportant and will speak for themselves and Commission Meeting — July 1 l, 2007 Mendota Heights Airport Relations Commission said a summary sheet would be helpful for backup. Chair Petschel stated care must be taken to be somewhat sensitive to Eagan. Chair Petschel also brought to Commission attention the article on the $65 million MAC settlement proposed to end class action over insulation that was published in the June 22, 2007, Airport Noise Report. Rexninders were noted about the proposed ARC meeting date change from August 8 to August 6, which goes before the Council on July 17 for approval, and the ARC meeting date change from September 12 to September 1 l. Councilmember Krebsbach asked Chair Petschel to point out what significant items should be watched for in the monthly reports. Chair Petschel responded that it is the corridor analysis, gates on flight headings, and that problems occur when planes go outside the gate north of the 90-degree heading. She said excursions on the corridor are a combination of regional jets being more agile and there being new air traffic controllers and she noted that Mr. Rydeen will give his report at the NOC meeting as to what he's going to do to resolve the issue. Chair Petschel said it is almost all human error that is fixable and ARC needs to lean on the issue — planes need to be in the corridor. Other Comnussioner Comments or Concerns Chair Petschel suggested that City staff's charting of month-to-month excursions be discontinued, in light of Mr. Levque's more detailed reports on the subject. Following discussion, it was Commission consensus that staff continue to chart monthly, however, in the form of an Excel spreadsheet showing 12-month rolling average trends. Commissioner Dunn requested that the report be sent electronically, rather than paper version, to the Commission. iTpcomin� 1Vleetin�s • City Council Meeting — July 17, 2007 — 7:30 p.m. e NOC Meeting — July 18, 2007 —1:30 p.m. s MAC Meeting — July 16, 2007 —1:00 p.m. Adiourn Com�nissioner Sloan made a motion, seconded by Commissioner Dunn, to adjourn the ineeting at 8:05 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Mary Heintz TimeSaver Off Site Secretarial, Inc.

GRANT BOELTER • S@!N t��WS�AwEG�S The night hours have not been as peaceful as in the past. for residents in ' the central part of Eagan, leading the city to send a request to the 1VIetropolitan Airports Commissiori for some peace and quiet. ; The city has asked the MAC's Noise ; Oversight Committee to divert flights ibetween 10:30 p.m. and 6 a.m. to run- ways other than . tYle north-south � Runway 19, which routes planes over � the central part of the city: Instead, the �:.;i . city has asked MAC to consider routing more planes over the Eagan/Mendota Heights corridor, which uses Runway 12. "There will be residents impacted in the [Eagan/Mendota Heiglits] corridor,". said City Administrator Tom Hedges. ; i "However, the majority of that land is. , much more compatible than the residen- ; tial areas in central Eagan." I "When we talk about a corridor being more compatible, it's because tliere is � much more commercial and industrial ' development in that corridor," said Mayor Mike Maguire. "It's not to sug- gest that airport noise in [homes along the corridor) is insignificant." In July 2006, Runway 17 was used for � 2.5 percent of nighttirne departures and ; 0.1 percent of nighttime arrivals. This July, the runway was used for 20.2 �er- cent of departures and 4.6 percent of arrivals. "It's 'been a real drainatic iric`rease in terms of. nighttime, departures and that's a'concerri," Said Hedges. ; In JuTy,` MAC receiv.ed 2,425 com-� =: plaints from 166 Eagan residents, which represented 41.percent of all noise corri- plaints. MAC Noise Manager Chad Leqve said night traffic really started to increase on Runway 17; wliich is less than two years ' old, during the first quarter of 200T. The city's request will eome before MAC's Noise Oversight Committee Sept. 19. ' Leqve said Eagan's request would fit in with the airport's Runway Use System during the nighttime hours and there was� a good possibility that the'' committee would vote to enter into dis- cussions . with the Federal 'Aviation Administration about making the change. , "Ultimately the decision is made by the FAA," said Leqve. "Tliat would be what I thi.nk the next step in the process would lie, beginning those discussion . with the FAA." � (You are invited to comment about this ' story on our website at www.mnsun.com and/or write a letter to the.editor at sun- curreiitsouth@acnpapers.com.) :,� . .r �,: � �. q r�..

I reviewed the nighttime concerns of Eagan about fanning off of 17. They want more flights to go off of 12R. My concerns are not about Eagan but about our taking just about half of the nighttime flights again. If they make the requested Eagan chanqe, I just want to make sure that doesn't mean even more flights for us. Also they are talking about having new technology by 2009 to fly tracks instead of headings. They claim this will reduce noise, but I am not so sure. I think we need to talk about this, too. � TO: MSP Noise Oversight Committee (NOC) Chad E. Leqve, Manager — Aviation Noise and Sateliite Programs ITEM 3 SUBJEC"T: EAGAN LETTER REGARDING NIGHTTIME USE OF A 120-DEGREE DEPARTURE HEADING OFF RUNWAY 17 DURING SOUTHEAST OPERATIONAL FLOWS AT MSP DATE: September 5, 20Q7 On August 22, 2007 Mayor Mike Maguire of Eagan sent a letter to NOC Co-Chairs Vern Wiicox and Kathleen Nelson asking tha# the NOC "examine the feasibility of moving mare nighttime tcaffic from Runway 17 (particularly from the 120 degree heading) to Runway 12R when demand allows." (See Attachment 1). Recently, Eagan residents have reported increased nighttime overFlights as a result of eastbound aircraft being departed off Runway 17 during southeast operational flows at Minneapolis/St. Paul International Airport (MSP). Given that the majority of these eastbound operations are given a departure heading of approximately 120 degrees, a question arises as to why these aircraft are not placed on Runway 12R and giwen an on-course runrrvay heacling into the Eagan\Mendota Heights Departure Corridor, which is the preferred option per the Runway Use System (RUS) at MSP during southeast operational flows. Table AS Revised Runway Use System The revised RUS establishes the following runway use preFerences: Departures 1. Runways 12L and 12R 2. Runway 17 3. Balanced Use of Runway 4f22 4.

Opera4onal faclors, such aswlnd, weafher, end elruaft destination, wlll detetmine final sdecHon of By way of background, the RUS was approved for implementation as part of the environmental evaluation conduct�d in the July 2003 Environmental Assessment (EA) fo� the Implementation of a Departure Procedure off Runway 17 and the relatecl Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI)/Record of Decision (ROD) published by the Federal Aviation Adrninistration (FAA) on August 27, 2003. The EA is the most recently approved FAA NEPA document related to the planned operation of MSP with Runway 17/35 operational. As detailed to the left, Table A-5 in the July 2003 EA outlines the desired runway selection priority for the purposes of reducing noise impact around MSP. Per the approved RUS, when MSP is in a southeast operational flow, during the nighttime hours of 10:30 p.m. and 6:00 a.m., use of Runways 12L and 12R for departure operations infio the Eagan\Mendota Heights Departure Carridor should be the primary departure runway configuration. When capacity dictates, per the RUS, Runway 17 should be used as a secondary option to Runways 12L and 12R. Rurnvay4a22 However, in July 2007 during southeast operational flows, Sou�ce: HMB analyas 47.5% of the nighttime departure operations were on Runway 12�, 33.5% of nighttime departure operations were on Runway 17 and 19.0% of nighttime departure operations were on Runway 12R. (See Attachment 2). The use of Runway 17, with the `1 : corresponding lower departure numbers on Runway 12R, appears inconsistent with the approved RUS at MSP during southeast operational flows. In the July 2003 EA an analysis was conducted to determine reasonable RUS implementation assumptions. Because capacity demand drives runway use at MSP, to adequately assess RUS implementation, low-, mid- and high-demand criteria need to be established for purposes of the analysis. As stated on page A-4 of the July 20�3 EA: "ATC was consulted to determine appropriate cut-off limits for each demand period given traffic intersections and ATC workloads." Table A-3 below, which is included on page A-4 in the July 2003 EA, provides the 15-minute operational criteria defining each demand level. Table A-3 Traffic Demand Period Griteria Traffic Demand DemandPeriod {dperatiansper15-minute RUSStatus runway selection and RUS implemenfation, includingthe useof unique proceduressuch as the Head-�a-Head Procedure in the Corridor. runways I�ased on noise considerations, given requirements fnr runway crossings, capacity, etc.; moderate use of the RUS. Th� need to rrraintain operational capaciry doe not allow ATC flexibility in rurTway selection; limited use of #he RUS. Saurce: ATC and Based on the above traffic demand period criteria, in July 2007 the average daily number of operatians per 15-minute segment establishes that tfie nighttime hours of 10:30 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. at MSP were mid- to low-demand. As such, per the July 2003 EA, it is anticipated that traffic levels allow for maximum flexibility and/or e�cient selection of runways based on noise considerations consistent with the RUS. Attachment 1 provides a flight track map of July 2007 nighttime operations during southeast operational flows at MSP. As detailed earlier, Runway 17 was the second highest used runway during the nighttime hours in July 2007 in this configuration. Of the total 134 departure operations off Runway 17, 80 (60%) were eastbound (120-, 140- and 155-degree headings). All of the eastbound operations occurred in low— or mid—demand time periods. Of the 80 operations, 21 (26%) occurred in a low-demand period or just above the lowest level of the mid-demand operational criteria. The above analysis, the July 2003 EA, and the approved RUS at MSP support Eagan's stated concerns and present a logical solution in the forrn of moving eastbound departure operations off of Runway 17 to Runway 12R into the Eagan/Mendota Heights Departure Corridor during the nighttime hours, consistent with the RUS. At the September 19, 2007 NOC meeting staff will provide a briefing on this topic.

Leqve, Manager — Aviation Noise and Satellite Programs SUBJECT: REVIEW APID IMP�EMENTATION OF MODIFIED VOLUPdTARY MSP PIIGHTTINIE OPERATIONS AGREEMENT WITH OPERATORS DATE: September 5, 2007 On January 17, 1991, the Stage 3 Utilization Working Group recommended to the Metropolitan Aircraft Sound Abatement Council (MASAC) and the Metropolitan Airports Commission (MAC) that a freeze on Stage 2 operations be instituted between 11:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. at the then- current (Fall 1990) levels. At the same time, the implementation of the Airport Noise and Capacity Act of 1990 (ANCA) cast a logistic ambiguity on the airport's authority, the procedures for instituting local rule making, the extensiveness of the federal Stage 2 phaseout policy, etc. MAC's Stage 2 nighttime ban moved forward as a draft ordinance, in spite of significant controversy, with the public hearing on the proposed ordinance delayed until more than a month and haff after the final rule was due to be released. The controversy surrounding a mandatory Stage 2 ban, and the difficulties being experienced at both Los Angeles and New York over similar mandatory noise rule tests of ANCA, forced the j` � comment period for the Proposed Stage 2 Nighttime Ordinance to remain open well into 1992, - paving the way for exploration of implementing the proposed ordinance as a voluntary measure. By late 1992, six cargo and charter carriers had signed valuntary agreements to fly only Stage 3 aircraft between 11 p.m. and 6 a.m. at MSP beginning in 1993. Northwest Airlines had also agreed to flying only Stage 3 aircraft beiween 11 p.m. and 6 a.m., through a separate instrument, i.e., loan covenants and agreements with MAC. On March 15, 1993, the MAC directed staff to execute the necessary documents to implement previously negotiated "Voluntary Airline Agreements to Eliminate Stage 2 Operations at MSP During the Nighttime Period." These discussions resulted in a voluntary 11 p.m. to 6 a.m. Stage 3-only agreement rather than the passage of an ordinance. Compliance with the agreement was tracked through the use of Airport Noise and Operations Monitoring System (ANOMS) data and a qua�terly activity report supplied by the carriers to avoid confusion over Stage 2 airframes that had been retrofitted to meet Stage 3 noise standards. In 1997, the designated nighttime hours changed to 10:30 p.m. to 6 a.m., in an effort to move some of the later aircraft departures earlier into the evening. In the end this voluntary agreement resulted in Nighttime Stage 2 operations falling from 54% during 2nd Quarter 1993 to 17% in 4th Quarter 1994. Clearly, cooperation by the airlines in these types of efforts is an absolute necessity for such efforts to succeed. Because the 1990 Airpart Noise and Capacity Act (ANCA) banned operation af all Stage 2 aircraft in excess of 75,000 pounds in the United States as of January 1, 2000, the nighttime Stage 2 operations p�ovisions of the nighttime agreement have been fully achieved. Recommended Update to the Voluntarv Niqhttime Actreement with Operators at MSP Throughout the recent Part 150 Update process, several options were evaluated from the perspectives of all parties involved. The result of this cooperative effort was a recommended voluntary nighttime agreement with airlines ope�ating at MSP. The agreement would request that airlines operating at MSP limit the operation of aircraft during the nighttime hours of 10:30 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. Airlines would also agree not to operate or schedule hushkit aircraft during the MSP nighttime hours (10:30 p.m. to 6 a.m.). Special exceptions would apply to operations that occur during the nighttime hours because of emergencies, mechanical problems, Air Tra�c Control delays and weather. The 2004 MSP Part 150 Update noise analysis showed that the replacement of MSP nighttime hushkit aircraft with manufactured Stage 3 aircraft would reduce the population within the 60 DNL contour by 4,082 people and 1,867 dwellings, relative to the 2007 Unmitigated Contour. The following chart provides the average daily scheduled nighttime operations for the month of July from 2000 to 2007. It is important to note that this does not include cargo operations and charter operations.

As referenced in the draft letter to tenants, staff is prepared to include a new page in the monthly NOC Technical Advisor's Report summarizing the number of monthly nighttime scheduled operations by airline and aircraft type for the purpose of monthly review by NOC members. Additionally, staff is proposing that an annual assessment of operators' progress in both the reduction of overall nighttime operations and reduction of hushkitted Stage 3 aircraft be conducted. This annual assessment would include formal recognition of the carrier that showed the greatest decrease in overall nighttime operations and fhe carrier that showed the greatest progress in reducing the usage of hushkitted Stage 3 aircraft during the nighttime hours. ( C At the September 19, 2007 NOC meeting staff will provide a briefing on this topic. COMiVI1TTEE ACTION APPROVE AN UPDATE TO THE MONTHLY NOC TECHNICAL ADVISOR'S REPORT TO INCLUDE A MONTH�Y REPORT OF SCHEDU�ED NIGHTTIME OPERATIONS BY AIRLINE AND AIRCRAFT TYPE AND RECOMMEND MAC APPROVAL OF THE ANNUAL NIGHTTIME OPERATIONS ASSESSMENT AND RECOGNITION PROGRAM AND RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE ATTACHED VO�UNTARY NIGHTTIME AGREEMENT LETTER TO MSP OPERATORS. C� C By way of background, on March 15, 1993, the Metropolitan Airports Commission (MAC) executed the necessary documents to implement "Voluntary Airline Agreements to Elirninate Stage 2 Operations at MSP During the Nighttime Period." Because the 1990 Airport Noise and Capacity Act (ANCA) banned operation of all Stage 2 aircraft in excess of 75,000 pounds in the United States as of January l, 2000, the nighttime Stage 2 operations provisions of the nighttime agreement have been fully achieved. In consideration of the continued impact nighttime operations have on the noise footprint and impacts around MSP an update to the previous voluntary nighttime agreement framework was developed via recent 14 C.F.R. Part 150 Update efforts at MSP. Throughout the update process, several options were evaluated from the perspective of all parties involved. The result of this coaperative effort was approval of a recommended voluntary nighttime agreement with airlines operating at MSP. The agreement would request that airlines operating at MSP limit the operation of aircraft during the nighttime hours of 10:30 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. Airlines would also agree not to operate or schedule hushkit aircraft during the MSP nighttime hours (10:30 p.m. to 6 a.m.). Special exceptions would apply to operations that occur during the nighttime hours because of emergencies, mechanical problems, Air Traffic Control delays and weather. The 2004 MSP Part 150 Update noise analysis showed that the replaceznent of MSP nighttime hushkit aircraft with manufactured Stage 3 aircraft would reduce the population within the 60 DNL contour by 4,082 people and 1,867 dwellings, relative to the 2007 Unmitigated Contour. I am writing to request your review and consideration of the new Voluntary Nighttime Agreeznent t 1 that was approved by the MSP Noise Oversight Committee (NOC) and the MA.C. Specifically, it is requested that operators at MSP voluntarily put fourth their best efforts to: l. Avoid scheduling operations between the hours of 10:30 p.m. and 6:00 a.m., and 2. Avoid the use of hishkitted Stage 3 aircraft for flights that are scheduled to occur between the hours of 10:30 p.m. and 6:00 a.rn. It is important to note that this in no way constitutes an operational restriction, or prevents operators from scheduling operations at any time throughout the day with any Stage 3 compliant aircraft. However, your efForts to comply, to the degree possible, with these voluntary nighttune operations provisions would greatly help reduce noise impacts around MSP and help improve the relationship between the airport community and the residents living next to MSP. Airline cooperation in these types of initiativ.es is critical to achieving measurable noise reduction around the airport and strengthening stakeholder cooperation in maintaining and developing needed airport infrastructure and services. In January 2008 the MSP NOC will begin tracking monthly scheduled nighttime operations at MSP to assess any developments in the number and fleetmix of scheduled nighttime operations. The monthly NOC Technical Advisor's Report, which will include the monthly schedule operations report, will be available on the web at http://www.macnoise.com/opre�arts. Additionally, an annual assessment of operators' progress in both the reduction of overall nighttime operations and reduction of nighttime hushkitted Stage 3 aircraft will be conducted. This annual assessnnent will include formal recognition of the carrier that showed the greatest Page 1 of 2 Jim Danielson From: Brian Williams [bmwilliams@aviation-noise.org] Sent: Monday, September 10, 2007 5:13 PM To: Jim Danielson Subject: FAA Requests Your Input IMPORTANT OPPORTUNITY! NOISE members: URS Corporafion has been contracted by the FAA to update the guidance material, or Advisory Circular (AC), on completing Part 150 studies and has asked for input from NOISE members. The FAA Airports division specifically requested that URS consult with organizafiians and communities that have a specific interest in noise issues. Your expertise and "real-world" experience is sought to help improve the FAA Part 150 process. The original request from URS Corporation is attached below and includes more detail on the items under review and the information being solicited. The "hands-on" knowledge and unique role of our members in implementing noise mitigation/abatement programs is the reason that fihe FAA has turned to NOISE in recent years to provide leadership and input on items such as the PARTNER research center af excellence, the NGATS Environment Warking Group, the FAA Airpart Compafiibility Planning Committee, and more. This is another great oppartunity for NOISE members to provide direct input on changes that will assist communities across the country in addressing the concerns of their residents. If you, or anyone from your city, have any recommendations on how ta improve the AC, please return your suggestions to iVOISE and complete contact information to the NOISE office before Oc�ober 12 2007. URS has requested that we compile all input from IVOISE members into a single communication. Please respond to bmwilliams@aviation-noise.orq or 202-544-9850 (fax). Feel free to contact our office if you have any questions.

The revised AC will provide an approach similar to the original AC, but will recognize new policy, new guidance, and changes to Federal law and 14 CFR Part 150 since the 1983 publication of the original AC. Although the AC is being updated, FAA does not intend to change 14 CFR Part 150, the regulation that prescribes the procedures, standards and methodology governing the development, submission and review of airport noise exposure maps and airport noise compatibility programs. The AC will not alter the regulation, but will provide "how to" guidance on implementing the provisions of the regulation. We, at 9/11/2007 Page 2 of 2 URS Corporation, are supporting FAA with the revision of the AC. Early in the AC update process, FAA is reaching out to national organizations whose members regularly ! participate in the Part 150 process giving you the opportunity to contribute your insights on the content and format of the revised AC. In particular, FAA solicits your thoughts on material in the current AC that should remain, material that should be deleted and new material that should be added. FAA would also appreciate specific "real world" examples that highlight sections of the regulation where the meaning or intent should be clarified in the AC. FAA will also be soliciting your comments on a draft of the revised AC when it is available early next year. In order to keep the AC update process moving forward expeditiously, FAA would appreciate receiving any input you choose to provide by October 15, 2007. We are also asking you to consolidate input from your membership to minimize duplication of comments. We would prefer electronic responses by email. Please send your responses to me. Lastly, we would appreciate a return email acknowledging receipt of this email and letting us know if your organization wiJl be providing comments. If you would like to discuss the AC update or have questions, please call me or Deborah Murphy Lagos (813.636.2445) at URS. If you would prefer to talk directly with the FAA on the update, please contact Vicki Catlett (202.267.8770) or Jim Byers (202.267.3007).

I understand you talked about getting Metro Cities and/or the League of MN Cities ta attend the meeting and I think that would be a great idea, especially since the Metro Cities has specifically adopted policy language that supports the communities' efforts to get more effective representation on the MAC. I senred on the Transportation Policy Committee for Metro Cities last year and below is the current policy language (see, specifically, paragraph #2). I thought 1 could contact Louis Jambois of Metro Cities to see if he or a rep could attend the Sept. 19th hearing and read this language into the public record. Any thoughts or objections? V-1 Airport Noise Mitigation (No Changes) Metro Cities supports noise abatement programs and expenditures designed to minimize the impacts of the Metropolita.ri Airports Commission (MAC) operated facilities on neighboring communities. The MAC should determine the design and geographic reach of these programs only after a thorough public input process that considers the priorities and concerns of the impacted cities and their residents. The MAC and state should seek long-term solutions to fund the full mitigation package as adopted in 1996 for all homes in the 64-60 DNL impact axea. Noise abatement efforts should be paid for by fees and charges collected from airport users, as well as state and federal funds. Furthermore, unless mitigation funding is provided, Metro Cities opposes any legislation that requires a praperty owner to disclose those properties that lie within 64-60 DNL noise contours. Metro Cities supports a change to the governance structure of the Metropolitan Airports Commission (MA.C), which currently consists of 15 members, all appointed by the Governor except for two, whom are appointed by the Mayors of Minneapolis and St. Paul. Although, under statute, the MAC is charged to "reflect fairly the various regions and interests affected by the airport system," only two of the commuraities most affected by the Minneapolis/St. Pau1 International Airport (MSP) have direct representation on the commission and are given the opportunity to select their district's representative. Acknowledging that the communities closest to MSP and reliever airport impacted communities are more significantly innpacted by noise, trafiic, and other numerous expansion-related issues, Metro Cities supports the broad goal of providing MSP-impacted communities greater representation on the MA.C. 9/6/2007 r--. :.� � z �� t- �.

The projects shown in year one represent projects that have been reasonably defined for implementation in the upcoming calendar year. Staff will have authority to develop final plans and specifications and advertise for bids for these projects. Projects in year two have been identified as a need or potential need but require further study in order to properly determine the scope, feasibility, or cost of the project. Staff will have authority to develop plans and specifications for these projects to refine the projects for inclusion in next year's program. Projects in year three will be studied and preliminary plans and specifications prepared. The last five years of the program include projects that staff deems likely to be needed during this period. This portion of the program assists in financial planning and meets the requirements of the Metropolitan Council's investment framework. In 1998, legislation was passed (MS 473.621, Subd. 6 as amended) concerning local review of the CIP. The legislation requires the MAC to complete a process to provide "affected municipalities" surrounding the airport the opportunity for discussion and public participation in the MAC's CIP process. An "affected municipality" is a municipality that is either adjacent to a MAC airport, is within the noise zone of a MAC airport as defined in the Metropolitan Development Guide, or has notified the MAC that it considers itself an "affected municipality." Your community has been identified as an "affected municipality" by Metropolitan Council staff based upon the criteria as defined in the statute. The legislation requires that the MAC provide adequate and timely notice including a description of the projects in the CIP to each affected municipality. The notices must include agendas and meeting minutes at which the proposed CIP was to be discussed or voted on in order to provide the municipalities the opportunity to solicit public comment and participate in the development of the CIP on an ongoing basis. Cornments received from the affected municipalities will be reviewed and a response developed. As has been done since 1999, the MAC has developed a schedule that will allow the affected municipalities the opportunity to participate in the CIP process. The implementation schedule for the 2008 CIP is attached for your information.

MAC staff will be available to attend any public meetings to answer questions regarding the projects in the CIP. All comments regarding the CIP must come from the "affected municipality" and not from individuals. The Finance, Development, and Environrnent Committee of the Commission will be meeting on September 5, 2007 to review and make a recommendation to the full Commission on a Preliminary 2008 CIP. The approval of the Preliminary CIP will starE the mandated environmental review process.

Finney, Deputy Executive Director— Planning & Environment (726.8187) SUB.IECT: PRELIMINARY 2008-2014 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM DATE: August 24, 2007 Minnesota Statutes Chapter 473, revised in 1988, requires that the Gommission prepare an Assessment of Environmental Effects (AOEE) which assesses the cumulative environmental effects of its Capital Improvement Program (CIP) at each of the seven airports. In addition, Environmental Assessment Worksheets (EAWs) must be prepared for individual projects in the program that meet certain criteria. Where State andlor Federal Environmental assessments or impact statements have been prepared, that information is included in the cumulative assessment. The law provides for public review of the assessments in accordance with the rules of the Environmental Quality Board (EQB). The . EQB rules set forth mandatory review (including holding a public hearing), waiting and decision periods that must be coordinated with Commission and Committee meetings of the MAC. In addition, in 1998, legislation was passed (MS §473.621, subd. 6 as amended) concerning local review of the CIP. The legislation requires the Commission to complete a process to provide "affected municipalities" surrounding the airport the opportunity for discussion and public participation in the ,. '� Commission's CIP process. An "affected municipality" is a municipality that is either adjacent to a _ MAC airport, is within the noise zone of a MAC airport as defined in the Metropolitan Development Guide, or has notified the Cammission that it considers itself an "affected municipality.° The legislation requires that the Commission provide adequate and timely notice including a description of the projects in the CIP to each affected municipality. The notices must include agendas and meeting minutes at which the proposed CIP is to be discussed or voted on in order to provide the municipalities the opportunity to solicit public comment and participate in the developmenfi of the CIP on an ongoing basis. Comments received from the affected municipalities will be reviewed and a response developed. Staff has therefore developed a schedule that outlines the dates/actions required for the development of the CIP, the environmental review process and the local review by "affected municipalities" process. The implementation schedule for the 2008-2014 CIP is attached for your information (Attachment 1). The proposed 7-year Capital Improvement Program (CIP) relating to construction projects on the Commission's Airport System consists of the following elements: 1. Capital Improvement Proiects - These are pro}ects that have been reasonably defined for implementation in the upcoming calendar year (in this case 2008). Staff will request authority to de.velop final plans and specifications and advertise for bids for these projects. 2. Capital Improvement Program - These are projects that have been identified as a need or potential need but require further study in order to properly determine the scope, feasibility, or costs of the project. Staff will request authoriiy to develop plans and specifications for these projects to refine �,, ) the projects for inclusion in next year's pragram. 3. Capital Improvernent Plan - This encompasses the last five years of the total program and consists of projects that staff deems likely to be needed during the period. This portion of the program �- assists in financial planning and meets the requirements of the Metropolitan Council's Investment Framework. Staff will be requesting authority to study and prepare preliminary plans and specifications for the projects. Also included with this memo (Attachment 2) are the following: • Listing of projects. * • Cost totals for each category. • Project narratives for years 2008 and 2009. *As the 2010 Long Term Comprehensive Plan nears completion, the remaining construction projects will continue to be listed in the "2010 Program". New projects have been listed in the "Post 2010 Program" under financial sub-ledger headings. It is necessary for the Commission to adopt the preliminary CIP for purposes of initiating the environmental review and to allow sufficient time for the "affected municipalities" to review the CIP. The attached project listing is overly-inclusive to ensure that all potential projects are subject to the environmental process. Staff will continue to review the 2008-2009 projects to develop a more concise list ta recommend for implementation.

One of these projects will seek to quantify the contribution of airport-related emissions to local air quality impacts; the other will develop a comprehensive work plan for the development of a multi-modal noise and emissions model. The ACRP also announced that it is soliciting norninations for individuals to serve on oversight panels that will be established for each project in the fiscal 2008 research program. Such nominations must be received by Sept.17. The governing board stressed that many oversight panels only meet twice during the life of a project and these meetings are normally held in Washington, DC. Development of a multi-modal noise and emissions model is being sought by federal transportation agencies (the Federal Aviation Administration, the Federal Highway Administration, and the Federal Railroad Administration) and by aviation industry trade groups: the Aerospace Industries Association, the Air Transport Association, and the Airports Council International —North America. (Continued on p. 108) Airspace Redesign �Aa IssuEs F�Is o� �r��sa�N; ��,a.�� SA.YS 500,000 PEi�PIC.E `VVIL� GE�' LES� l�Ti)�SE Ignoring threats of lawsuits and calls for additional noise analysis (the latest from Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton); the Federal Aviation Administration on Aug. 3 issued the Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) on its proposed New YorklNew Jersey/Philadelphia Airspace Redesign project, which it plans to begin irnplementing laterthis summeror in early fall. The massive airspace redesign covers a 31,000 square mile area over five states (NY, NJ, PA, DE, and CT). Itwill affect five major airports (JFK, LaGuardia, Newark, Teterboro, and Philadelphia lnternational) as well as 16 satellite airports. Most of the noise impact is concentrated at three airports: Newark, LaGuardia, and Phila- delphia. Asked in an Aug. 7 television interview on the Public Broadcasting System (PBS) whether the airspace redesign means residential areas would get noisier, FAA. Administrator Marion Blakey responded: "No, in fact, the plan that we have proposed, that we are looking at as the primary option right now, is one that would reduce noise in the New York-New Jersey area for about 500,000 people. You know, that's a lot. But most importantly, it will reduce the delays over time by about 20 percent " (Continued on p. 108) I1Z T�IZIS ISSIIG'... Research ...

Some $7.2 billion was spent on airport noise mitigation projects from fiscal 1982 to 2004; $3.4 biilion was spent on highway noise barriers from 1970 to 2004; and $12.6 billion was spent for congestion mitigation and on air quatity improvementprogramsfrom 1998to2003,theprojectwork statement notes. It contends that such a"stovepipe" approach to planning transportation projects and mitigating their impacts can lead to an inappropriate and redundant expenditure of federal funds. For example, the project p�oblem statement explains, "noise barriers are often constructed to mitigate highway noise for residences that have previously undergone insulation programs to mitigate aircraft noise, a potentially expensive and inefficient solution to a multi-modal problem. Many appiications could be more easily and thoroughly evaluated ifa multimodal model existed." The objective of this project is to produce "a comprehen- sive document outlining a Work Plan to (1) incorporate rail- based modes of transportation into the FHWA's Tra�c Noise Model (TNM) and (2) to merge the enhanced T'NM with the FAA's Aviation Environmental Design Tool (AED'I'). In November, ACRP will begin sending out detailed project statements for its fiscal 2008 research program formally soliciting proposals for those projects. ACRP project statements wili be announced by e-mail notification. A form to register for e-mail notification is available at ACRP's website: http://www.trb.org/acrp.

Airspace, from p. 107 Blakey did not mention to NPR that angry local govern- ments are lining up like jets on a hot runway at rush hour to sue the agency over its airspace redesign because of its noise impact: Westchester County,.NY; Rockland County, NY; Delaware County, PA; Fairfield County, CT; the City of Elizabeth, NJ; and the New Jersey Coalition Against Aircraft Noise (NJCAAN), are all vowing to sue F AA, although no litigation has been filed yet. That is likely to come aftar the agency issues its Record of Decision (ROD) approving the project. Lawsuits can be filed within a 60-day window following publication of the ROD, which is due out in September. The likely litigants contend that the noise impact of the airspace redesign project will significantly affect their quality of life because the redesign requires fanning jets on deparlure and moving and lowering some routes, which will spread aircraft noise over communities that never had it. Blakey's statement that the airspace redesign will only bring a noise reduction fo communities also is at odds with the noise analysis included in her agency's FEIS. The FAA examined three categories of noise impact in its FEIS: • Significantlmpacts:l.5 DNL minimum increase resulting in 65+DNL noise exposure, or 1.5 DNL minimurn increase where noise exposure already exceeds 65 DNL; Slight to Moderate: 3 DNL minimum increase resulting in noise exposure between 60 and 65 DNL, or 3.0 DNL minimum 9ncrease were noise exposure in already between 60 and 65 DNL; • SlighttoModerate: 5 DNL minimum increase resulting in noise exposure between 45 and 60 DNL, or 5 DNL minimum increase where noise exposure is aiready between 45 and60DNL. The agency then cornpared the number of peopie that woutd be added to or removed from those categories of noise impact if it implements its preferred airspace redesign alternative and employs noise mitigates measures at Newark, LaGuardia, Philadelphia, and Westchester County airports. FAA specified noise mitigation measures that were possible at each of these airports and they include things, such as variations of runway departure headings during the day, ocean routing for ]ate-night departures at Newark, raising some arrival routes, and use the ContinuousDescent Arrival (CDA) at Philadelphia and Newark for some night arrivals. In terms of increases in noise impact, the FEIS shows that most noise impact would occur in the Slight to Moderate impact category (45 to 60 DNL contour). The number of people in that category of impact would increase from 15,509 in 2006 to 50,392 in 2011. Between those years, the number of people subject to Significant noise impact (65+ DNL contour) would drop from 545 to 0 and the number of people subject to Slight to Moderate noise impact (60 to 65 DNL contour) would drop from21,626to 16,803. In terms of decreases in noise impact, the FEIS also shows the greatest impact in the Slight to Moderate noise impact category (45 to 60 DNL contour). It estimated that, between 2006 and 2011, the number of people that would be removed from that category would increase from 35,684 to 207, 629. People removed from the Significant noise impact category (65+DNL) would increase from 310 to 3,201 between 2006 and 2011 and the number of people removed from the Slight to Moderate noise impact category (60-65 DNL contour) would remain at one. Asked where Administrator Blakey got the figure of 500,000 people getting reduced noise impact as a result of the airspace redesign, an FAA spokeswoman said that number was cited in FAA's Noise Mitigation Report on the project and it includes people in the entire study area. However, the FEIS indicates that approximately 210,830 people would get a reduction in noise impact from the project. Aitport Noise Report � August 10, 2007 March Air Reserve Base DHL TO REPLACE 7CW0 DC-9s AT NIG]EIT TO R�D�TCE NOISE Cargo giant DHL announced July 25 that it will reduce nighttime noise impact on communities near its hub at March Air Reserve Base by replacing two DC-9 aircraft with quieter planes by mid-September. The announcement comes as Riverside, CA, officials threaten to sue DHL, to reduce early morning noise at its hub and consider trying to impose a nighttime ban on the loudest civilian aircraft at March Air Reserve Base. However, DHL's contract with the airport proprietor, the March Joint Powers Authority, allows it to operate 24 hours a day and the Airport Noise and Capacity Act of 1990 makes it almost impossible for a nighttime ban to be imposed. But DHL, officials are concerned about the noise impact of their operations. "We are aware of concerns in the surround- ing area about nighttime noise from aircraft and have been working closely with the Joint Powers Commission for the last several months to find potential solutions to these concerns," said Red Alexander, vice president for Aviation & Commercial Transportat'ron, DHLExpress. "While switching aircraft presents considerable operational and financial challenges for DHL, we want to demonstrate to the community that we are good neighbors." Alexander did not say what aircraft DHL will use to replace the DC-9s and he stressed that the cargo carrier must operate at night. But, he told the Riverside Press-Enterprise that DHL is conducting a review of its operations to determine if it can shift some of its 3 a.m. late night depar- tures to hours that are less disruptive. Nighttime cargo operations at Maz�ch Air Reserve Base have been a contentious issue since the city changed its zoning ordinance to allow DHL to site its West Coast hub at the base, which is a joint military/civilian facility located east of Los Angeles. The March Joint Powers Commission displayed flight path maps at public hearings on the DHL hub in 2004 which indicated that eargo planes would not fly over Riverside neighborhoods. However, it was determined in 2005, after the commission approved the DHL hub, that the flight path maps were inaccurate and had misled Riverside residents into believing they would not get nighttime noise impact. The commission — comprised of representatives of Riverside County and the cities ofRiverside, Perris, and Moreno Valley — hired Los Angeles attorney Leonard Gumport to investigate why the flight path maps were inaccurate. He concluded that Greg Diodati, the former managing partner of G1obalPort, the airport developer, deliberately misled the public about where DHL's planes would fly. Giodati contends that the inaccurate maps were drawn by accident. Gumport's investigation also uncovered a noise study indicating that thousands of Riverside residents could be 109 awakened by the DHL night flights, despite assurances by local politicians that would not be the case. The matter of how the DHL hub was approved is expected to be a key issue in upcoming elections for Riverside County supervisors. Los Angeles Int'l EL SEGUNDCI TO UPDATE SiT]R.�+ �I,�.l�TC1E CA.li�%Y�,S Responding to an increase in noise complaints about operations at Los Angeles Internationa] Airport, the EI Segundo, CA, City Council agreed recently to pay $45,000 to update camera equipment in order to continue its program, begun in 1990, of videotaping planes that turn too soon departing LAX and fly over the city. A new, four-camera modern camera systern will replace the now obsolete single camera placed on a high pole located in the northwestern edge of the city, which has recorded early turns for 17 years. Aircraft departing LAX to the west are directed by the Federal Aviation Administration to continue west until they are over the Pacific Ocean and only then turn north or south. However, some aireraft begin these turns before reaching the ocean, which puts them over the city. City officials consider their camera surveillance program to be a success and contend that it has reduced the number of early turns from as many as 1,000 per manth to 350 per month. However, several recent changes at LAX have increased the aircraft noise impact on El Segundo. One of the airport's two south runways has been closed for construction, putting aireraft on a flight path closer to the eity. Also, the FAA recently put into effect two departure procedures that also have moved planes closer to EI Segundo. Gina Marie Lindsey, the new executive director of Los Angeles World Airports, asked the FAA in a letter sent the week of Aug. 6 to discontinue the new procedures, explain- ing that they "appear to have exacerbated the noise impacts to residents of El Segundo." In Br�ief .. � Maps Approved for Three.Airports FAA recently announced its approval of airport noise exposure maps for Baton Rouge Municipal Airport, Des Moines International Airport, and Sprin�eld-Beckley Municipal Airport.

Lauderdale-Hollywood Int'Z ,• � �� . . , � � . . , . The Department of Justice has decided not to appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court a federal appeals court ruling that bars the Federal Aviation Administration from moving commercial air traffic onto two runways at Ft. Lauderdale International Airport as a way to reduce congestion and delay. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit ruled in May that the FAA failed to follow the environmental review procedures required by the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and its own environmental review policies in seeking to alter a longstanding informal runway use program at the airport without first conducting an environmental impact analysis (19 ANR 62). "The federal government only seeks Supreme Court review in extraordinary circumstances. We decided this case did not meet that standard," Kathleen Bergen, manager ofExternal Communications/Public Affairs in the FAA's South- ern Region, explained. Neither DOJ nor the FAA issued any statement on the decision. Neal McAliley of the Miami law firm White & Case, who represented the cities of Dania Beach and Hollywood, FL, in the litigation against FAA, said the signifi- (Continued on p. 112) Global Warming :_ � : . � :� : � � � . �: ;: . ; . � ;� : The issue of aviation's contribution to global warming heated up this week. In London, over 500 environmental activists have set up a tent city in a field outside Heathrow Airport to protest a planned third runway. They are demanding that carbon emissions from aircraft be reduced. Up to 2,000 protestors are expected this weekend at the culmination of the protest and some undefined "civil disobedi- ence" is promised. In the United States, Rep. Edward Markey (D-MA), chairman of the House Select Committee on Energy Independence and Global Warming, expressed concern that the Joint Planning and Development O�ce (JPDO), the inter-agency body developing the Next Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen), "has yet to make aviation's contribution to global warming a major prioriiy" In an Aug. 141etter to Federal Aviation Administrator Marion Blakey, Markey wrote: "Although NextGen includes an environmental working group and released an integrated plan in a 2004 report to Congress on aviation and the environment, an examination of its wark to date suggests that it has yet to incorporate a serious examination of how global warming could signiiicantly alter current assumptions about the growth path of the aviation industry."

McAliley asserted in the case that informal runway use programs are essentialiy guidelines followed by air traffic control and, if the FAA changes those guidelines, that action is reviewable underNEPA. DOJ was not expected to seek Supreme Court review of the case. But the federal government's decision to let the appeals court ruling stand may have been influenced by what the ruling omitted: it did not define what constitutes an informal runway use prograrri or how much discretion Air Tra�c Control has to implement one. Giving the Supreme Court the opportunity to define those issues would be very dangerous from an FAA perspective because the agency would be stuck with the High Court's decision. FAA has very little guidance on informal runway use programs. The agency most likely does not want to give the courts any more opportunity to examine them. Markey, from p. lll "A 2006 progress report on NextGen discusses local air quality emissions but there is no mention of climate change. Tn addition, while the JPDO examines what needs to be done to reduce levels of aviation noise and local air quality emissions to reduce environmental concerns as a constraint on capacity, it is unclear whether addressing climate change is part of that effort. "Meanwhile, other countries are noting emerging scientific concerns about the dangers of climate change and are acting to curtail it. Most significantly, the European Union has proposed including aviation in the European Union Emissions Trading Scheme, which would require American afrlines operating in Europe to follow carbon emission caps as early as 2012: ' Answers to Four Questions Sought Markey asked Blakey to provide answers to his House Connmittee to four questions: • What is NextGen's position on the current and anticipated impact of aviation on global warming? • How many tons of CO2 emissions are emitted on a yearly basis in the United States from aviation? Please differentiate between emissions in-air and on-ground within an airport? � What strategies is NextGen considering to address emissions both in-air and on-ground within an airport? • What is the status of NextGen's studies to develop a national roadmap on the viability of alternarive fuels for aviation? Airlines . � . . � � F,i 1'i . , ��, , Saying that it is mindful of its environmental responsibili- ties, American Airlines on Aug. 2 issued its 2007 Environ- mental Responsibility Report, which highlights steps the airline is taking to reduce aircraft emissions and noise impact, and to improve resource conservation. The report is the first issued since 2002 and the airline's fourth environmental report overall. The first report was issued in 1993. A spokesman said that American Airlines will issue its environmental reports on a more consistent basis in the future "as environmentai sustainability becomes a more important criterion for corporate and individual customers when choosing an airline." In terms of noise impact, the report says, "Controlling noise from aircraft and associated facilities is a significant chal- lenge for airport operators, tenants, and their neighbors. [We] remain committed to managing aircraft noise through voluntary initiatives and by following the `balanced ap- proach' concept endorsed by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Assembly. With this approaGh, noise is reduced through operating restrictions, investment in quieter aircraft, and a range of local airport measures, such as land- use planning or noise abatement and quieter takeoff and landing procedures." As part of its "balanced approach, AA said that it has replaced louder aircraft it its fleet with quieter, more fuel efficient planes. The airline said that, recently, it also has begun to use reduced thrust take-off procedures and high- speed tractor taxiing to reduce noise impact. It expects more signifcant noise reductions to come through fleet moderniza- tion and replacement programs now underway. Fleet Modernization Is Key "Fleet modernization is key to noise reduction," the report notes. AA said that a decade ago much of its fleet was comprised of louder Stage 2 aircraft such as the Boeing 727. The airline said that it has sold or recycled all of those aircraft and that the bulk of its fleet in now made up of quieter Stage 3 MD-80 and 737-800 airplanes. It said the fleetwill become even quieter when 47 new Boeing 737-800s arrive. The report does not indicate when that will occur. "The largest portion of our American Eagle fleet is com- prised of Embraer regional jets (ERJ) of various models and configurations," the airline said, adding "These smaller, more efficient aircraft help keep emissions low and reduce noise at busy hubs from which we serve most of our regional destinations." The report notes that American began taking steps in 2003 to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and they have resulted in a combined annual GHG emissions reduction of 908,000 metric tons of CO2. The airline's goal is to improve fleet efficiency by more than 20 percent by 2020. Airport Noise Report �" August 17, 2007 113 AA states in its report that the greenhouse gas emissions from a single passenger traveling by aircraft are lower than would be generated by the same passenger traveling by automobile. The report, "Our Commitment to the Future: An Environ- rnental Responsibility Report," is available at the AA web site: http://www.aa.com/content/images/arnrcorp/amrerr.pdf. Researcla ;�, ;. • �; • �,, � . I �_ I � I � _' - :--�- � '1 � � Bombardier Aerospace, Belfast, announced recently that it is involved in a major five-year, $188 million national research program in the United Kingdom aimed at nnproving the environmental performance of aircraft engines. The Environrnentally Friendly Engine (EFE) program is led by Rolls-Royce and is key element of the National Aero- space Technology Strategy, which involves 11 leading UK organizations from industry and academia. The EFE program is focusing on "developing and validat- ing key technologies to reduce emissions, fuel burn, and noise from aircraft and supports the environrinental perfor- mance targets set by the Advisory Council for Aeronautics Research in Burope (ACA12E)," Bomardier explained. Bornbardier is spearheading the "Power Plant" part of the pTogram, which will explore new nacelle design concepts that will help reduce weight, drag, and noise. Bomardier said its Belfast team is looking at both advanced nacelle design concepts and ways of taking advantage of new manufacturing processes and materials. Key technolo- gies that will be examine include a new thrust reverser configuration, electric ice protection for the nacelle inlet, high perForrnance acoustic treatnnents, and nacelle shapes thatwill reduce aerodynamic drag. The firm will work closely with Queen's University, Belfast. Said Michael Ryan, vice-president and general manager of Bombardier, "This is an excellent opporkunity for us to hone our skills in nacelle design and to further develop and validate some of the technologies we ha�e already been working on. Bombardier takes its environmental responsibili- ties seriously ..." Bombardier Aerospace, Belfast, is a center of excellence for the design, development, manufacture, and support of aircraft engine nacelles. It provides nacelles for engines that power the company's regional jets and some of its business aircrafi. Last December, the company announced its involvement in another national UK research program, the Integrated Wing Program, which is aimed at developing a new generation of aircraft wings. The EFE program is funded jointly by industry, the UK Department of Innovation, the Universities and Skills department, the Ministry of Defense, and regional develop- ment agencies, including Invest Northern Ireland. Second Atlanta Airport � �i�l� i � � � � � � � � � (,� � �. � � . On Aug. 23, the newly-revived Northeast Georgia Surface and Air Transportation Commission, will hold its first meeting in 15 years in an effort to appoint new members and seek state and federal funding to study sites for a 20 to 24- gate second commercial airport in the Atlanta area. The newly-revived commission was established in 1989 by the Georgia Legislature but stopped work in 1992 after the Federal Aviation Administration gave the state a grant to study the feasibility of building a new airport at a location anywhere in the state rather than just in the northeast. After Atlanta decided to build a fifth runway at Hartsfield- Jackson International, the efFort to build a new regional airport stalled. But state officials feel the time is right to begin the process of planning a new airport because a sixth runway at Hartsfield in not likely. FAA recently gave the City of Atlanta a$1 million grant to study how to handle air traffic overflow atHartsfield-Jackson International Airport. At its upcoming meeting, commission officials will ask 13 counties and eight cities to appoint new members to begin siudying potential sites for a new regional airport that could offer flights to up to 40 cities and draw passengers from the suburbs north of Atlanta. But, as happened in the 1990s, the commission is expected to face strong local opposition to expanding local airports. However, the commissioner of Barrow County, GA, located in the northeast Atlanta suburbs, said he is interested in expanding the county's 450-acre general aviation airport to handle commercial operations. Originally called Winder- Barrow Airport, the county changed the name in 2005 to Northeast Georgia Regional Aiiport. It has two runways, one of which will be expanded to 7,000 feet. In Brief ... � Washington Nationai Part 150 Under Review The Federal Aviation Administration announced Aug. 13 that it is currently reviewing a proposed update to the Part 150 AirportNoise Compatibility Program for RonaldReagan Washington Nationai Airport. The review will be done by Feb.2,2008. The public comment period on the proposed Part 150 update ends on Oct. 5. The agency also announced that updated noise exposure maps subnnitted by the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority for the airport meet federal requirements. For further information, contact Jennifer Mendelsohn, Eastern Region, Washington Airports District o�ce, FAA, 23723 AirFreight Lane, Suite 210, Dulles VA 20166; tel: (703) 661-1362, Comments on the proposed Part 150 program also should be sent to Mendelsohn at the above address. Airport Noise Report Au�nst 24, 2007 116 action Rockland County may take against the FAA. "A regional effort against the airspace redesign plan would help make a stronger case against the FAA, and could also spread the costs of a lawsuit among a larger base of taxpayers outside Rockiand County," Vanderhoef said. "This may be a`David and Goliath' fight but I believe it is a fight we have a chance of winning, particularly if we present a united front against the FAA," Vanderhoef added. "We fully intend to pursue this challenge legally with every resource available to us. We believe that Holland & Knighe is uniquely qualified to help us get this plan overturned or eliminated completely: ' Vanderhoef said the law firm was chosen from four firms that responded to the County's Request for Proposals because of its expertise in FAA regulations, Narional Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) review, and aviation and environmental litigation issues, as well as federal legislative advocacy. "We are fully aware of the advanced stage of the FAA's decision-making process and ... are fully committed to devoting all the resources necessary to mount an aggres- sive challenge on behalf of the County," Holland & Knight told the County in a letter submitted with their proposal. Vanderhoef contends that the FAA's Final Environmental Impact Statement on the project, filed Aug. 3, did not adequately address the potential noise impact to Rockland residents and offers no provision for noise reduction in its "Purpose and Need" statement, possibly causing it to be in violation of the Aviation Safety and Capacity Act of 1990. Research, frorn p. ll S Tegei, Germany; and London/Heathrow, LJK. The project also will (1) evaluate the modifying effects of traffic-related air pollution on noise-associated cardiovascu- lar risk factors and disease and (2) study a subsample of subjects in greater detail to assess the short-term effects of aircraft noise during nighttime and whether it causes dips in blood pressure, which are related to cardiovascular disease. Few researchers have studied health effects associated with exposure to aircraft noise, and results of earlier studies have been equivocal with respect to blood pressure and hypertension, the researchers explained in the study abstract. But a 2001 Swedish study found a relationship between the distance people lived from a Swedish airport and hypertension. Similar findings were reported in 2004 in a community sample around a military airbase on Okinawa, Japan, and in a survey of residents near Amsterdam Schiphol airport. The HYENA project in a joint study being conducted by various public agencies and universities in the UK, Ger- many, The Netherlands, Sweden, Greece, and Italy. It is partially funded by the European Union. Oversight Panel Met in D.C. The panel overseeing the ACRP project to update FAA's 1985 document on the effects of aviation noise met on Aug. 22 meeting in Washington, DC, to discuss the status of the project, whrch is being conducted by Mestre Greve Associ- ates of Laguna Nigel, CA. The panel agreed that it was best to wait for the results of the HYENA and PARTNER studies to be released before Mestre Greve finalized its work, said Gail Staba, the Transpor- tation Research Board's staff inember managing the project. She said that the panel also agreed that there is a need to establish dose/response relationships for the effects of aircraft noise impact. ACRP Synthesis Topics Sought On Aug. 22, ACRP announced that it is seeking potential topics for its fisca12008 Synthesis Program, which is a separate effort within the ACRP program to fund projects that summarize existing practices at airports. The Mestre Greve report, for instance, is an ACRP synthesis project because it provides a compendium of research findings and does not undertake new research. Each year, approximately five new synthesis studies are funded under the ACRP's Synthesis Program. "A synthesis report is a relatively short document (60-80 pagcs) that surnmarizes existing practice in a specific technical area based typically on a literature review and a survey of relevant. organizations (e.g. airport operators or other organiz.�tions appropriate for the specific topic)," Christopher Jenks, director of the ACRP Progratn, explained in his announce- ment. Synthesis reports do not undertake new research nor do they contain policy recommendations, he stressed. "Synthe- sis reports are most valuable when they are focused on issues common to many organizations. The primary users of the reports are the practitioners who work on those issues using diverse approaches in their individual settings." An oversight panel governs the ACRP Synthesis Program and will meet this fall to select the five topics for the 2008 program. A competitive bidding process will then be con- ducted to select the firm that will prepare the report. The closing date for consideration of synthesis topics is Oct. i2, 2007.

Great Falls Int'l . . . � � � � �; � � � � . � ' ' . . � � �� , � � The Federal Aviation Administration announced Aug. 24 that it has approved a proposed Part 150 Airport Noise Compatibility Program for GreatFalls International Airport, in Great Falls, Montana, located less than 120 miles from the Canadian border. The airport is a non-primary, non-hub facility that has some commercial traffic and serves five cargo carriers, provides a regional sorting hub for FedEx, and is home to the Montana AirNational Guard airbase and a flight school. Airport Noise Report August 24, 2007 117 The FAA approved the eight noise mitigation measures in the airport's submitted Part 150 program: • Amend local zoning ordinances to minimize new non-cornpatible land uses (FAA clarified that height restrictions will be addressed on a case-by-case basis under its Part 77 regulations); � Create fair disclosure agreements within the Airport Influence Area, which is defined by state law as one mile off the runway ends; • Amend existing building codes; � Prohibit noise sensitive land uses within the 65 DNL contour; • Prohibit residential densities greater than 2-4 units/ acre; • Provide "sound attenuation" and purchase undeveloped land; � Periodic review of aeronautical operations and Part 150 updates; and � Establish local committee to monitorPart 150 program. The Airport Authority rejected iwo proposed noise mitigation measures in the Part 150 program: acquisition of avigation easements in the Airport Influence Area and a prohibition on modular homes in that area.

Lockh�,ed Not Selected ITT beat out two rivals for the ADS-B contract: Raytheon and Lockheed Martin. Locltheed had been considered the front-runner for the contract and had worked on FAA's ADS-B pilot program in Alaska. But analysts said that FAA was critical of the way Lockheed was taking over FAA flight service stations and cited Lockheed's problem9 on a contract with the Coast Guard to update its fleet of ships. A spokeswoman for Lockheed said that firm was disap- pointed that it did not get the FAA contract award and will wait for the agency to brief it on why it failed to get the award before deciding what course of action to talce. Lockheed could protest the contract award. Alexandria lnt'Z . � � , � � � . . �,, � ' 1 On Aug. 30, the Federal Aviation Administration an- nounced its approval of the Part 150 Airport Noise Compat- ibility Program forAlexandriaInternational Airport, located in central Louisiana on the site of the former England Air Force Base, which closed in 1992. The airport is operated by the England Economic and Industrial Developrnent District, an independent political subdivision of the State of Louisiana. However, the military is still the primary tenant at the airport and the Louisiana Air National Guard operates the tower: Military training flights and deployment operations associated with the Army's nearby Fort Polk combat training center are conducted at the airport. Heavy military aircraft operating on the Alexandria lnternational's two runways are the major contributor to airport noise levels. The FAA granted outright approval to all eight elements of the Part 150 program, including voluntary changes in arrival and departure tracks for military aircraft, acquisition and relocation assistance for certain residential properties, sound insulation and acquisition of avigation easements for homeowners who decline acquisition of their property, and preparation by the airport authority of a redevelopment plan for the acquired properly. Two areas of noise impact were discussed in the Part 150 program but not defined in terms of noise impact. The "Primary Area" includes 142 single family homes, six multi- family structures,133 mobile homes, and other noise- sensitive structures that are eligible for insulation or relocation assistance. The "Secondary Area" includes 63 single family homes and 225 mobile homes, and a church that are eligible for acoustical treatment For further information on the program, contact Tim Tandy in FAA's Fort Worth, TX, office; tel: (817) 222-5644. Flight Tracking ; , . � i1 � , � . r � � . � � � . � � � � � Lochard announced Aug. 21 that communities around London's three major airports– Heathrow, Gatwick, and Stansted — have reacted positively to the launch of the firm's WebTrak aircraft flight tracking system. WebTrak is a flight tracking system available via a'standard web browser on any computer with a link to ttie Internet. People using the system are able to see where aircraft fly relative to their home or other locations and can access information (delayed 24 hours), such as the type of aircraft or its speed and altitude. After being operational for only two weeks, the WebTrak site (www.baa.com/noise) was included on the list of "101 really useful websites" compiled by one local newspaper, and was declared "the first instance where something from BAA has been welcomed" by the community by another paper, Lochard said. HACAN Clear Skies, an influential anti-airport expansion group in West London, also hailed the WebTrak systern as "a dramatic new system that will bring transparency to what is going on in the skies over London and the Home Coun- ties," Lochard said. BAA Pleased with System Officials of the BAA Limited, which manages the three London airports, are also pleased with the new system. "WebTrak is another positive development in the open way in which we work with local communities to share as much information as possible about our airport's operations. We were very pleased to add WebTrak to our three noise website in order to complement the complaint handling and inforznation service already provided by our airports to their local communities," said Brendan Crea�in, environmental policy rnanager for BAA. Phil Stollery, vice president of Lochard in Burope, said, "We are delighted that WebTrak has been so well received. It was developed specifically with the community in mind and helps to improve the community's understanding of aircraft operations. They also can lodge complaints directly from the Website with ANOMS (Airport Noise and Opera- tions Monitoring System) for processing by the complaint handling staff."

The project includes eastward shifts in a holding pattern over Westchester County (NY) Airport and an arrival path into La Guardia Airport, which would move air traffic over parts of Connecticut. Bluinenthal said that the FAA's EIS on the project lacked important data and provided an inadequate public comment period. The Connecticut attorney generai appeared at a rally with about 40 people in front ofthe New Cannan, CT, Town Hal]. Rep. Christopher Shays (R-CT) also attending the rally and said that his request to the FAA for additional public hearings on the airspace redesign was rejected. "What I find totatly unacceptable is [FAA's] unwillingness to listen to people who are negatively impacted," Shays said. The FAA's Record of Decision on the project is due out in early September. Legal chailenges to the EIS are expected afterthat. ONCC Sound Insul�ation Booklet Updated The O'HareNoise Compatibility Commission (ONCC} announcedAug. 27 that it has updated its "Sound Insulating Your Home" booklet. The bookiet was developed to help homeowners near Chicago O'Hare Intemational Airport sound insulate their homes and to assist municipalities that are developing building codes to include noise reduction measures. But the commission said that because there are no national guidelines for residential sound insulation, the booklet can serve as a valuable resource for local government officials who are attempting to write new building codes or to strengthen existing ones to require sound insulation requirements. The 30-page booklet includes detailed diagrams, photos, and numerous suggestions for reducing noise inside homes. It also contains a list of suppiiers who offer acoustical windows and doors. The information in the booklet applies to both new and existing homes. "Sound Insulating Your Home" is available free af charge by writing to the O'HareNoi se Compatibility Commission, P.O. Box 1126, Des Plaines, IL 60017- 1126, or through its website at www.oharenoise.org. The booklet also can be downloaded from the ONCC website at http:// www.oharenoise.org/publications/htm.
