CITY OF MENAOTA HEIGHTS DAKOTA COUNTY, MINNESOTA AIRPORT RELATIONS COMMISSION MINUTES June 11, 2008 The regular meeting of the Mendoia Heights Airport Relations Commission was held on Wednesday, June 11, 2008, at 7:00 p.m., in the Large Conference Room at City Hall, 1101 Victoria Curve, Mendota Heights, Minnesota. The following Commissioners were present: Liz Petschel, Chair; Robin Ehrlich, Vice Chair; Bill Dunn, Sally Lorberbaum, Lyle Odland, Ken Reed, and Dave Sloan, Comxnissioners. Also present were: Sandra Krebsbach, Council Member; Jim Danielson, City Administrator; Jake Sedlacek, Assistant to the City Administrator; and Mary Heintz, Recorder: Not Present: None. Chair Petschel requested the foYlowing agenda revisions: Vice Chair Ehrlich's out-of-corridor correspondence be added as Item D and Updates for the Introduction ,-- � Book be changed to Item E. � '��___ � � A.pproval of 1VIinutes � � ' � Commissioner Lorberbaum requested that the minutes of April 9, 2008, be corrected to cite October 15 as the revised meeting date for the Coinmission, changed from October 8 to due conflict with Yoin Kippur. A motion was made by Commissioner Sloan, seconded by Coinmissioner Dunn, to approve the minutes of the April 9, 2008, ARC meeting as amended and May 19, 20Q8, meeting as subznitted. The lninutes were approved. Unfinished and New Business A. Review Tower Tour Issues Gornrnissioner Odland stated that he regretted having missed the May 19, 2008, Tower tour but he had been impressed with the preliminary information that was submitted to the Tower in advance and asked whether those issues had been addressed. Chair Petschel reported that each had received a respectful, frank discussion. Commission Meeting — June 11, 2008 Mendota Heights Airport Relations Commission Vice Chair Ehrlich commented that he had felt frustrated by the discussion at the Tower tour because some questions (in particular, the unfair use between 12L and 12R) had not �" been responded to adequately, and Commissioners Reed and Dunn agreed, with � Coinmissioner Reed commenting that the Tower's quoted reasons did noi make sense. Chair Petschel said she looks for changes when reviewing the runway analysis, which is useful in analyzing trends, and acknowledged appreciation for the Noise Oversight Committee (NOC) as a venue to get things done. Commissioner Odland said monitoring needs to be continued, and Vice Chair Ehrlich agreed and suggested that the item remain on the agenda to keep things in line. Council Member Krebsbach commented that it is good and necessary that the Tower meet with the Commission and she supports this very effective ARC. B. Review May 21, 2008, NOC Meeting Chair Petschel said one of the topics discussed at the last NOC meeting was an update on the noise insulation that is occurring at the 63-64 DNL involving approximately 400 homes in Bloomington, Eagan, Richfield, and Minneapolis. A formal choice of providers has been determined: Mechanicals by CenterPoint and Xcel; windows by Marvin, Pella, and Larson; and a company to do the actual insulation in the homes. Strategies will be required to complete the work for homes utilizing boilers and radiator heat, a showroom at 494 and 66� Street has been established for affected residenis, and block meetings have begun. Chair Petschel added that glitches have been experienced when homes are in the �_ process of foreclosure and there is difficulty fmding the appropriate point persons. � A second major discussion point at the meeting concerned the RNAV, which received a motion of support froin Eagan and was seconded by Mendota Heights. Chair Petschel stated that Kathleen Nelson of Norwest said her priinary concern was that it not affect efficiency and she had to be reassured that it would only be used at night during nonpeak times (10:30 p.m. to 6:00 a.m.). She said an interesting point of the meeting caine when Diane Mi11er of Northwest reported that she and MAC have been receiving complaints from Northwest pilots who live in Eagan and are actually complaining about fanning off runway 17. Mr. Sedlacek reported that Richfield representative Bill Killean cited his continued complaint at the NOC meeting about low frequency noise over Richfield, which many felt was neither the time nor place to do so. C. Review 2008 Plan of Action Updates to the ARC 2008 Plan of Action were recorded by Mr. Sedlacek, who will revise the docuinent as directed by ARC and bring back to the Commission for approval. 2 Comrnission Meeting — June 11, 2008 Mendota Heights Airport Relations Commission The following action items were requested by ARC: 1) MAC representative Foley be i added to the distribution list for each ARC meeting packet, 2) in.vite Rick Hanson and Senator Jim Metzen to an upcoming ARC meeting (talking points being feeling in Legislature about the Northwest-Delta merger and Northwest paying back the money it owes, whether there is satisfaction with the concessions received frorn MA.C, whether further legislative oversight will be necessary, and whether there has been any discussion regarding further development of reliever airports in the north and south metro as part of a major plan); and 3) ARC write up accomplishments over the last six months, a reaction statement, and make that items as part of ARC's annual review. D. Vice Chair Ehrlich's Observation Vice Chair Ehrlich reported there had been an inordinate number of flights in late evening and early morning hours that he and his wife recently experienced and cited, in particular, a low-flying noncommercial prop out of the north excursion on May 28. This is his email correspondence with MAC concerning that flight: "Does this �a2ean the airplarze I saw was a noncommercial prop and, therefore, doe.r not get tracked in your reports? " Response: "This is correct. The corridor applies to caYrier jet aircraft only. Specifically, the FAA would desigrzate a caYrier jet as a jet tliat can hold 60 plus passengers. Conamerczal or rzoncom�nercial could be eitheY pYop or carrier jet. Tlae classification between carf�ier jet or pYopeller ai�craft depends exclusively on aiYcraft - type. Botlz aircYaft types aYe tracked by our i�ateractive reports or via the mo�athly � � repoYts. The Corridor Report does �zot relate to propelleY ai��c7�aft; tlaerefore, those `' -. _� numbeNs and fl'ight t��acl�s are excluded from that specific report. " Vice Chair Eha-lich's second question: "Do noncomnaeYcial props need to follow the sarrce corridor rules as comnae��cial azr planes? " Response: "PropelleT�-driverz aircYaft can be di�ected by AiY TYa�c Control (ATC) however they see fit. Typically because of the znhere�zt slowe�� speeds of propeZleY aircraft, ATC will tu��z the»a Zeft or right of prima�y headings so tlaat the proceedir2g departures of jet aircraft do rzot Izave to wait for an aiYspace gap to develop. " Chair Petschel said she would be interested in knowing how many general aviation aircraft are flying like this. Council Member Krebsbach noted that the Anoka reliever airport is the same size as Mendota Height's footprint. Vice Chair Ehrlich said the basic issue is that noncommercial airplanes don't have to follow the rules. Chair Petschel suggested forwarding Vice Chair Ehrlich's email printout to Chad Leqve for his response. 3 � Commission Meeting — June 11, 2008 Mendota Heights Airport Relations Commission • A motion was made by Corrunissioner Lorberbaum to forward the documents that Vice Chair Ehrlich brought forward at the meeting to Chad Leqve for his cornment and � explanation, with an additional request asking what the destination was for that particular ( May 28, 2008, flight and the clearance it had received. Discussion ensued. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Odland and passed unanimously. Chair Petschel requested that Mr. Danielson forward Mr. Leqve's response to tlie Commissioners. Council Member Krebsbach excused herself from the meeting. E. Updates for Tntroduction Book None. Acknowled�e Receipt of Various Reports/Correspondence Commissioner Reed said it would be helpful if the departure report would specify Mendota Heights for 12L and Eagan for 12R, rather than combining the two cities for each runway. Commissioner Lorberbaum made a request that the number of complaints be identified by � city name for an 18-month timeframe, which would more easily display trends in �� complaints from particular areas.

" That is correct the corridor applies to Carrier Jet Aircraft only. Specifically the FAA would designate a Carrier Jet is Jet that can hold 60+ passengers. Commercial or Non-commercial could be either Prop or Carrier jet. The classification between Carrier Jet or Propeller aircraft depends exclusively on aircraft type. Both aircraft types are tracked by our interactive reports online or via the monthly reports. The Corridor Report does not relate to propeller aircraft therefore those numbers and flight tracks are excluded from that specific report. "Do non-conzmercial props need to follow the same corridor ri�les crs comme�•cial airplanes? " � � Propeller driven aircraft can be directed by Air Traffic Control (ATC) however they see fit. Typically because of ._ ; the inherent slower speeds of propeller aircraft, ATC will tum them left or right of primary headings so that the proceeding departures of jet aircraft do not have to wait for an airspace gap to develop.

"We hoped to submit the applica- tion in July or August," BGPAA spokesperson Victor Gill told NRR. "T/ais will not be a quick turnaround. There's too much analysis and decision-making to tell when [it] will be submitted." With the proposed 10 p.m. to 7 a.m. curfew expected to shift night-time flights to other area airports—including Van Nuys, which is pursuing a ban on Stage 2 aircraft FAA concluded, "The proposed restriction would generate noise and air quality impacts at other nearby airports, and it is Iikely to be controversial on enviromnental grounds. Some of the airporCs to which the opera- tions are proposed to shift already operate under a state noise variance, and the vicinity already is in non-attainment for certain air quality standards. `Based o�z our review...the proposal as structured does not meet the six statutory condi- tions for approval. An environmental assessment should be prepared if BGPAA decides to continue through the Part 161 process for a proposed man- datory restriction on Stage 3 aircraft." FAA also determined that: • BGPAA did not offer suff'icient evidence of a noise problem or of the need for a restriction; • BGPAA gave inadequate consideration to non-restrictive alternatives; • the proposed restriction "appear[s] to be un- justly discriminatory;" In Tlzis Issue GAO Sees NextGen Challenges ..............

Among the main findings: ° Next steps include managing NextGen initia- tives e�ciently, deploying technologies and proce- dures as soon as practicable, and managing a de- cline in R&D funding, in part, by setting priorities for R&D on NextGen and environmental technolo- gies. ° Implementing NextGen expeditiously is es- sential to handle the projected growth in air tr�c efficiently and safely. ° Several management actions are important to advance the implementation of NextGen, including establishing a governance struciure within FAA that will rnove Ne�ctGen initiatives forward efficiently and effectively. • Because of the scope and complexity of NextGen implementation, FAA may not have the in-house expertise to manage it without assistance. • NASA's current aeronautics research budget is about half of what it was in the mid-1990s and the budget request for aeronautics R&D for fiscal year 2009 is $447 million, or about 25 percent less than the $594 million provided in fiscal year 2007. • As its funding for aeronautics R&D has de- clined, NASA has emphasized fundamental re- search, which serves as the basis for developing technologies and tools that can ]ater be integrated into aviation systems, and has focused less on de- velopmental and demonstration work. • As a result, NASA is now sometimes devel- oping technologies to a lower maturity level than in the past, and the technologies are less ready for manufacturers to adopt them, resulting in a gap in the research needed to bring technologies to a level where they can be transferred to industry for further development. Failure to address this gap could posipone the development of new technologies. ° The CLEEN engine and airframe program, a provision of the FAA reauthorization package cur- rently awaiting action in Congress, would be a iirst step toward further maturing emissions and noise reduction technologies, but experts agree that the proposed funding is insufficient to achieve needed emissions reductions. • FAA and NASA have identified the R&D that is needed for NextGen, but have not determined what needs to be done fust, at what cost, to demon- strate and integrate NextGen technologies into the national airspace system. Completing this prioriti- zation is critical to avoid spending limited funds on lower-priority efforts or conducting work out of sequence. ° European investment in R&D of environ- mentally beneficial technologies could reduce the competitiveness of the U.S. aircraft manufacturing indusiry. • It remains technologically challenging to de- sign aircraft that can reduce one environmental con- cern without increasing another. • Most U.S. airlines have stated that they plan to invest in aircraft and technologies, but in the near term, integrating new aircraft into the fleet, or retrofitting aircraft with technologies that can improve their operational efficiency, poses financial challenges to the airline industry. • Financial pressures also limit the airlines' ability to equip new and existing aircraft with NextGen technologies. ° Without significant reductions in emissions and noise around the nation's airports, efforts to expand their capacity could be stalled and the im- plementation of NextGen delayed because of con- cerns about the impact of aviation emissions. • Constraints on efforts to expand airports or aviation operations could affect the future of aviation because the national airspace system cannot expand as planned without a significant increase in airport capacity. The doubling or tripling of air tr�c that FA.A expects in the coming decades cannot occur without additional airports and runways.

Mea.nwhile, FAA air traffic controllers have begun using previ- ously approved phase 1 measures. The Boston Logan Airport Noise Study is the result of a mitigation requirement contained in FAA's 2002 ROD for the Boston Logan Airside Improvements Planning Project. Phase 1 initially identified 53 airspace and op- erational measures for reducing noise impacts on cornmunities around Boston Logan International Airport. Out of those, 37 were chosen for further evaluation, 23 of which were combined into 13 measures eventually selected as early implementa- tion alternatives that could be undertaken without environmental analysis. Twelve of the original pro- posed measures will be subjected to additional analysis. Measures for reducing noise from overflights and fram ground operations recently recommended for initial screening for safety and operational feasi- bility under phase 2 include: ° tow departing aircraft to the runway ends; ° taxiing aircraft operate single engines on the side away from the nearest communities; • use taxiways for depaxtures and arrivals in ways that minimize noise impacts; • limit use of reverse thrust during landing on all runways; ° erect noise barriers on the community side of the shoreline; ° place floating foam noise barriers in the wa- ter adjacent to Taxiway November; • build a dedicated hush house building for engine run-ups, • seek a location on the airport for a hold apron/penalty box to park aircraft as they await take-off queuing onto Taxiway November. h Y 0 that a�rcraft can remam at the gate without penalrz- ing the airline's on-time performance; • construct a noise barrier at the northwest end of Runway 15R/33L along the East Boston shore- line; ° establish continuous descent approach onto Runways 4R/L, 27, 33L, 32, 22R/L and I SR; • move the DRUNIC Intersection fiu-ther east over the ocean, away from land at Marshfield; • raise the arrival crossing altitude at the DRUNK Intersection from 6,000 feet to 7,000 or 8,000 feet; ° spread out arrivals at the DRI;INK Intersec- tion by creating additional way points; • move the arrival flight corridor over DRUNK to the south so that arrival altitude can be raised to reduce or eliminate noise impacts over land at Marshfield and Dwcbury; • develop an approach procedure that maxi- mizes flight over water for Runway 32 Arrivals; ° establish an over water visual or RNAV arri- val to Runways 33L/32 over the harbor mouth at night; ° rnaintain three mile in-trail separation inter- vals between all aircraft arrivals on Runways 22R1L; ° extend Runway 27 depart�.�re gates farther south before turning to enroute courses; 0 develop departure procedures for Runway 14 to increase altitudes of aircraft over land by estab- lishing course guidance to route h•affic north of Hull, when used in conjunction w'rth Runway 27 arrivals; ° establish a departure way point from Runway 15R for use at night to move departures farther north of Huil; • establish a departure route from Runway 33L that follows the Mystic River and compatible lands along the river before turning on course; • alter departures from Runway 9 to pass over the Deer Island sewage treatment plant; • apply cockpit alternatives for thrust and climb management to benefit certain nearby com- munities through implementation of close-in or distant noise abatement departure procedures and evaluate each measure for noise reduction effects off the end of each runway; 02008 Great Circle Communications LLC.

In addition, FAA is carrying these phase measures into phase 2 for further evaluation: • develop fanning procedures for departures; • modify the Runway 27 WYLYY departure procedure so that aircraft are fanned after the sec- ond gate; • develop offset approaches from the east and west to minimize noise impacts to communities un- der the existing approaches to Runways 4R and 4L; ° modify the Runway 27 departure procedure to initial right hun to direct aircraft over Charles River basins and away from heavily populated ar- eas. Runway Preferences on Hold CAC was not yet ready to propose runway pref rences, which are incladed as an option for study in the 2002 ROD, according to FAA. "The advisory committee has stated that it prefers to see the effects of the noise abatement actions listed for ground noise and flight procedures prior to stating runway use preferences, if any." Once FAA and Massport complete their initial screenings of phase 2 measures for safety and operafional viability, they will present their findings to the CAC. Phase 2 is scheduled to be completed mid-2009. Seven phase 2 deparhare and arrival procedures were introduced earlier this year. Additional meas- ures and RNAV procedures are scheduled to be im- plemented by late suinmer. Phase 1 noise modeling indicated potential reductions in DNL of 1.5-3 dB in some nearby communities and increases of up to 3 dB in others. "Although the DNL levels do not reflect sig- nificant decreases, the result of the measures pro- vided some reduction to the frequency of single- event levels, which was an important metric for CAC," according to FAA. "The primary metric that the CAC used in assessing potential reductions... provided the number of average annual day operations that produce single=event...pealc levels around 50 dBA. According to the analysis, most south shore and north shore communities are ex- pected to experience a reduction of 15 or more air- craft average annual day operations that cause pealc levels at or above 50 dBA" Pertinent documents are available at: http:// www.bostonoverflight.com/.

' June 2008 Noise Requlation Report Paqe 53 Minneapolis-St. Paul Develops Modular Noise Monitoring System The Metropolitan Airports Commission (MAC) is taking a significantly new approach in redesigning the noise monitoring and tracking sys- tem for Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport (MSP). Rather than use a suite of services packaged by a single vendor, MAC is developing a modular system that will allow greater flexibility and en- hanced features at a lower cost. The new system has three main components: ERA will perform the flight data acquisition and Harris Miller Miller & Hanson the data processing, then MAC, working with open source technology providers, will develop the front end, reporting, and data analysis functionality. "This type of model is exciting," Chad Leqve, MAC aviation noise pro- gram manager, told NRR. `Significant Savings' "It opens the door to a greater degree of en- hancements and flexibility in tracking and reporting noise through a variety of vendors. The systern can make use of existing technologies without the need for costly maintenance coniracts, resulting in sig- nificant savings." The analysis and functionality is 100 percent scalable, said Leqve. "We can do a lot of the devel- opment in-house and have the added ability to lev- erage expertise from non-noise and non-aviation fields like database administration, web develop- ment, and GIS. I think this is an exciting develop- ment for airports." iVear �22ea1-"Tierie By early 2009 MAC expects to have a system in place that will give the public the ability to track flights in and out of MSP and view associated noise levels within 24 hours of a flight. Near real-time capabilities will follow soon afterward. Under the current system, in effect for the past 10 years, it takes five days for such information to become available. That is because it takes FAA three days to provide flight information to MAC, which then processes it for viewing on its website. Once operational, the new multi-lateration flight tracking (MFT) system will give MAC infor- mation independently, including complete flight �acking, noise data, and flight details, such as air- line, aircraft type, and flight number. "Flight track- ing and position information will be available in near real-time, while flight details will be available within one day," according to MAC. "An MFT system uses remote sensors that continually scan the airspace for signals from both aircraft transponders and collision avoidance sys- tems," said Leqve. "The capiured information is then used to triangulate an aircraft's exact position." MAC expects the upgraded system to provide more accurate data, better airspace coverage, and improved reliability. Another advantage is that resi- dents will be able to access information themselves, without one-to-one staff attention. Much of the system will be automated, resulting in additional savings of staff time. "Because the sensors are strategically placed throughout the Twin Cities area to maximize cover- age, the multi-lateration system is expected to pro- vide an upgrade to the flight tracking and reporting capabilities at MSP, as well as at some of MAC's reliever airports," said Leqve.

IVliaoni Considers Re-Institutireg Community Airport Noise Panel The Miaxni-Dade Board of County Commis- sioners will take up two proposals to create advi- sory bodies for addressing community noise and other issues associated with Miami International Airport (MIA) at a hearing scheduled for July 10. One measwe under consideration would im- panel an Aircraft Noise Abatement Advisory Board (NE1AB) to replace the Aircraft Noise Abatement Task Force that was created in 199'7 and subse- quently abrogated because of a sunset clause. The NAAB would expire after five years. It would consist of 20 members from various airport communities, appointed by their respective mayor or county commissioner, and meet quarterly to evaluate and recommend measures to reduce or mitigate noise impacts on the areas surrounding the airport. The Miami Dade Aviation Department would be required to provide staff and support services. The second proposal would create an airport Neighborhood Relations Committee (NRC). 02008 Great Circle Communications LLC. All rights reserved. (continued, p. 54) Paqe 54 Noise Requlation Report June 2008 M11mi (continued) If approved, the NRC will "discuss, evaluate, and recommend to the county commissioners of Districts 6 and 12 measures to reduce or mitigate adverse impacts to the residential areas immediately adjacent to MIA." Present and future adverse impacts to sur- rounding residential areas, including aircraft noise, airport vehicle traffic, vehicle access to MIA, con- struction in and around MIA, aircraft emissions, and air quality are among the issues to be addressed, along with promoting positive communications between those residential areas and MIA. "With the assistance of [airport] staff, the NRC shali explore; consider, and recommend programs and practices, such as airport landscaping, noise buffering, trash cleanup programs, signage, and construction progress notices and updates, that [can] be helpful in reducing or mitigating those adverse impacts." Both measures were iniroduced by District 6 commissioner Rebeca Sosa. Contact: Commissioner Sosa's office, (305) 375-5696. Salt Lake County to Tighien Noise Confirol Ordinance The Salt Lake Valley Health Department (SLVHD) is considering revisions to its noise con- trol ordinance that would limit permissible noise levels from a wide range of sources, especially be- tween 10 p.m. and 7 a.m. The proposed revised or- dinance stipulates: "It shall be unlawful for any person to willfully make or continue, or cause to be made or continued any loud, unreasonable, unnecessary, or unusual noise that disturbs the health or safety of a reason- able person of normal sensitivity within any re- ceiving property or creates a public nuisance." In general, it limits maximum sound pressure levels at the property line of the source to 10 dBA above the ambient sound level between 7 a.m. and 10 p.m. or 5 dBA above the ambient sound level from 10 p.m. to 7 a.m. Maximum indoor levels allowed in residential properties and residential portions of multi-use fa- cilities are limited to 5 dB above the ambient sound level from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. and 3 dB above the ambient level between 10 p.m. and 7 a.rn. For commercial facilities and non-residential portions of multi-use properties, the limit is 5 dB above the ambient sound level. (See table below for proposed outdoor sound level limits.) Maximum Outdoor Sound Pressure Levels (LMnx� Reoeiving Property or District Residential or Commercial, Industrial Noise-Sensitive, Agricultural, Public Source 7 am- 10 pm- 7 am- 10 pm- 7 am- 10 pm- 10 pm 7 am 10 pm 7 am 10 pm 7 am Residential or 55 50 55 50 55 ' S0 Noise-Sensitive Commercial, Agricultural, 55 50 60 55 60 55 or Public Industrial 55 50 60 55 80 75 Once approved, the ordinance will prohibit altering or disabling mufflers on cars, boats, and other motor vehicles and require motorcycles to display an EPA noise control label. Other specifically regulated sound sources include: ° construction equipment; • fireworks and explosives; • fixed sirens, whistles, and horns; � garbage callectian; ° hawkers and peddlers; a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systerns; • loading and unloading operations; ° model aircraft and rockets; • motorsport events and activities; ° music and sound amplification; • off-road vehicles and snowmobiles; • power equipment, such as generators, com- pressors, power washers, lawn equipment, and snow blowers. Exemptions are made for agriculture, aviation, alarms, emergency power generators, emergency vehicles, railroad operations, and other activities.

C C June 2008 Noise Requlation Report Paqe 55 International Workplace Analysis of Noise Forecast Report Generates Controversy A study of projected increases in aviation noise and emissions drew international attention last month when the London-based Aviation Environ- ment Federation (AEF) characterized it as a"shock report predicting alarming increases in aviation's unpact on climate change emissions, airport noise, and local air pollution." AEF also charged that the report had been suppressed since being turned down by organizers of the US/Europe ATM R&D seminar held in Barcelona last year. Not true, Crregg Fleming, chief of the Envi- ronmental Measurement and Modeling Division at the DOT Volpe National Tr�nsportation Systems Center and lead author of the report, told NRR. "There 11as been nothing suppressed. At the confer- ence mentioned, only about one-third of the papers get selected. Further, there was a poster on display there with the results of the analysis." Ongoing EfforC The report is part of an ongoing effort to assess ICAii's environmental �oais and is included in �l�e organization's 2007 enviromnental report, said Fleming. "This trends assessment does not include assumptions about improvements in future aircraft technology." Also, the analysis assumes t11at growth will not be constrained by capacity—and that there will be no improvements in future CNS/ATM technology. "This assessment should be considered an upper bound—not a likely forecast—of future noise and emissions trends," Fleming told NRR. The report predicts that by 2025, the number of people in North America exposed to DNL 55 will increase to nearly 9.1 million (30.3 million world- wide) and exposure to DNL 65 will increase to just above one znillion (338 million worldwide).

The City of Santa Monica has the option of requesting an administrative hearing ori the Director's Determination or appealing directly to a second level of adminis- trative review. The city said it expects to contest the FAA's determination and will decide in the next few weeks on tl�e manner in which it will proceed. Santa Monica also disputed an assertion made by FAA in its Director's Determi- nation that the city's obligation to keep its airport open does not end unti12023. The city contends that it obligation ends in 2014.

Environmental constraints, such as aircraft noise and emissions restrictions, are one of the key areas of concern that the United States plans to discuss during the second round of negotiations on liberalizing air service between the United States and Europe which just got underway. The European Union has already approved a European Community directive committing to the so-calied "balanced approach" to aircraft noise management that has been adopted by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). The "balanced approach" requires that a cost/benefit analysis be done and a broad range of alternatives to restrictions – such as land use planning, alternative flight paths, and residential sound insulation — be contemplated before a decision is made abaut operationai restrictions such as curfews.

LAWA awards con- tract for VanNuys residential soundproofing program - p. 69 Jane 6, 2008 As a condition of accepting federal grants under the FAA's Airport Improvement Program, airport proprietors are obligated to keep their airports open for aeronautical use for 20 years. Between 1985 and 1994, SantaMonicaAirport received a total of $9.7 million in federal airport development assistance. FAA said that in 2003, the City of Santa Monica requested, and the FAA approved, a grant amendment for $240,000, increasing its AIP granttotal to $10.2 million. FAA asserts that the grant "amendment" obtained in 2003 obligated the city to keep its airport open for another 20 years, until 2023. The city, however, contends that the payment it received in 2003 was made at the conclusion of the projects funded by the 1994 grant. It is not a new grant and does not extend the city's obligations to operate the airport beyond 2014, city offcials say. Non-A� Grants Could Be Jeopardized Santa Monica does not plan on seeking any additional AIP grants but an FAA spokesman contends that a finding by FAA that the city has violated its AIP grant obligations could jeopardize the city's ability to get grants from the Department of Transportation and the Federa! Highway Administration. FAA spokesrnan Ian Gregor told the Santa Monica Daily Press, "The other modes can consider Santa Monica's noncompliance on the airport issue when deciding whether to award their own grants to the city, or to award grants that other agencies would pass along to the city." A U.S. District Court judge issued a preliminary injunction barring the city from beginning enforcement of its ordinance on May 16. The order compels the city to comply with an Interim Cease and Desist Order issued by FAA on May 12. However, on May 23, the city asked the U.S. Court of Appeals, for the Ninth Circuit for a stay pending its appeal of the judge's preliminary injunction order. Santa Ivlonica's ordinance banning Categoty C and D jets, which have faster landing speeds, is unprecedented. The city imposed the ban out of concern that these faster jets would overshoot the ends of runways and crash into homes which are as close as 300 feet from the runway ends at Santa. Monica Airport. FAA said in its Director's Determination that there is no evidence that the larger, faster Category C and D aircraft are any less safe than slower Category A and B aircraft. "There is simply no aspect of the normal operation of aircraft at SMO that can be identified as a problem requiring a ban on the use of the airport by these aircraft. In fact, the perfor- mance range of many B, C, and even D aircraft overlap to such an extent that restricting C and D aircraft would be unjustly discriminatory to the operators of those aircraft." While noise is not the focus of the battle between the city and FAA over the jet ban, community complaints about aircraft noise have been a long-standing problem. 67 Open Skies, from p. 66 the EU," John R. Byerly, deputy assistant secretary for Transportation Affairs at the U.S. State Department, told the European Aviation Club May l3. Night flight restrictions envisioned for the airports in Oporto, Portugal, Frankfurt, Germany, and Brussels, Belgium, "appear to have been implemented or proposed based on political considerations, not the `balanced approach'," he said. For the present, the United States has raised its concerns with the Joint Committee that was set up to oversee imple- rnentation of the agreement that came out of the first round of open sky treaty talks. "But I can't preclude that the United States may seek more systemic, procedural commitments from the EU in the second stage. These could easily include a U.S. proposal that the EU replace the noise direotive with a more easily enforceable noise regulation," Byerly said. March Air Keserve 8ase 1 '1 ' , I I � '; • 1 I ;�� • � � • i , A decision by cargo giant DHL to use UPS for its U.S. domestic operations may end the threat of litigation by the City of Riverside, CA, over noisy early morning flights at March Air Reserve Base, which became a DHL West Coast regional hub in October 2005. On May 28, DHL announced a 10-year cost-cutting deal under which it will shift its entire North American cargo �etwork to UP�. The deal, expected to save BIIL $ i billio� a year by 201 l, is worth as much as $10 billion to UPS. UFS, which has its West Coast hub at Los Angeles Ontario International Airport, has already said that it has no plans to change its current mode of operation and will not fly into March. That will end all but one of DHL's eight early morning flights into March. The news disappointed those who sought the DHL hub as an economic engine for Riverside County, located east of Los Angeles. But the news elated homeowners near the airport who has complained since the hub opened about jet noise impact. The day before the DHL announcement, scores of angry residents, some reportedly near tears, begged the Riverside City Council to end the early morning DHL cargo flights. Carrying signs that said "stop the nightmare," they com- plained about sleep disruption that began with the opening of the hub. The meeting had been called by Riverside City Councilman Frank Schiavone, chairman ofthe March Joint Powers Commission, and Mayor Ron Loveridge, who is also a March commissioner, to gauge public support for a possible City Council resolution that included possibly taking legal action if DHL attempted to expand its operation without addressing the noise problem. Airport Noise Report C ,�une 6, 2008 The City Council passed the resolution unanirnously. Last year, in an attempt to address community concerns about early morning aircraft noise, DHL voluntarily switched out three noisy hushkitted DC-9 aircraft for a quieter planes. By late 2009, as part of the deal with UPS, DHL plans to end its contract with ABX Air and to remove 39 of ABX's 55 hushkitted DC-9 aircraft from its network.

United Airlines announced June 4 that it is retiring 100 of its oidest aircrafi: a1194 of its Boeing 737s and six Boeing 747s. About 80 of these planes are expected to be out of the system by the end of 2008 and the remaining 20 will be out by the end of 2009. Continental Airlines announced June 5 that it is accelerat- ing the retirement of its Boeing 737-300 and 737-500 fleets. In the first six months of 2008, the airline removed six of these alder aircraft from service. It will retire an additiona137 of these older planes by the end of 2008 and an additional 30 more in 2009. By the end of2009, all �37-300 aircraftwill be retried from Continental's fleet. Continental will continue to take delivery of 16 new, fuel eff;cient, Nextfien Baei�g 737-o�Cs and 737-9Q(3ERs u� the second half of 2008 and an additional 18 of these modern planes in 2009. The retirement of the '137s, which are powered by CFM 56 high by-pass ratio engines, wiil provide some noise reduc- tion but it will not be nearly as noticeable to communities concenied about noise impact as was the retirement of the muoh noisier huslikitted 727s, which are powered by older Pratt & Whitney J'T'8D engines. Continental used to operate hushkitted 727s but retired t�em after the terrorist attacks of Sept. l l, 2001. "The airline industry is in crisis. Its business modei doesn't work with the cun•ent price of fuel and the existing level of capacity in the marketplace. We need to make changes in response," Jeff Smisek, president of Continental, and Laimy Keliner, chairman and chief executive officer, told the airline's employees in announcing the cuts in staffing, capacity, and fleet.

London Heathrow _� .: �. � .� _. ;��i r ,,; ;r: ,, � , ; v� More than 3,000 protestors marched in London on June lto protest the planned expansion of Heathrow Airport, the world's busiest, where British Aiitivays plans to build a third runway and a sixth term inal. Walking through west London under the banner "Make a Noise Cainival," the protestors said they opposed the expansion of Heathrow because of global climate change, noise impact, and traffic congestion. The protesters walked to the village of Sipson, which they contend will have to be destroyed to make way for the new runway. The addition of third runway at Heathrow is expected to increase operations at Heathrow by nearly 40 percent of over 700,000 flights annually. T'he pro-expansion group Future Heathrow downplayed the march noting that opinion polls show that most people in the London area support the addition of the third runway. However, 7ohn Stewart, chairman of the anti-noise group Hacan, asserted that Heathrow has become a symbol of worldwide resistance against aggressive airport expansion.

FAA said that the draft Part 161 costlbenefit siudy supporting the mandatory curfew did not meet the six statutory conditions required by ANCA and it wants the airport authority to prepare an Environmental Assessment of the curfew if it decides to continue with the Part 161 process. The airport authority is now considering its options, one of which would be to stop dealing with FAA and seek federal legislation allowing it ta impose the mandatory curfew. A good vehicle for such legislation would be the FAA reautho- rization bill which is still under consideration by Congress. "If there ever was any doubt about where the FAA stood on restrictions on Stage 3 aircra8, this letter to the airport authoriry has cleared it up," said Peter (Continued on p. 71) .F't.

E ;�, �; ,:� �� . 1� fi - �11�, In a Final Environmental Impact Statement issued for publiCcomment and review, the Federal Aviation Administration concluded that the south commuter runway at Ft. Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport should be lengthened by more than a half mile to accommodate commercial trafFc in order to manage passenger growth at the airport — one of the busiest in the country — through theyear2020. The agency did not back a plan by Broward County to impose a runway use plan on the extended south runway in order to reduce noise impact. However, the FAA did agree in the FEIS to follow,neighborhood boundaries when defining areas of mitigation for non-compatible use, which will double the number of homes eligible for sound insulation and expand the sound insulation area beyond the 65 dB DNL contour. Some 1,OS 1 homes will be located in the 65 dB DNL and higher contours of the extended runway, according to the FEIS. An additiona11,023 homes will be located in the contiguous residential areas beyond the 65 dB DNL contour and eligible for sound insulation. The total number of homes eligible for sound insulation is 2,074. However, S 1 of those homes will be in the 70-75 dB DNL contour and urill most likely be bought out.

'73 June 27, 20Q8 Kirsch, who represents the City of Burbank, which has long sought imposition of mandatory curfew at Bob Hope Airport. The agency has made it very clear that Part 161 cosd benefit studies are not going to be approved Iightly, he told ANR. FAA "threw in every argument it could think ofl' in its °`very aggressive" letter, which, he said, amounts to a policy paper. "It's a shot over the bow" warning airport authorities how difficult it will be to impose restrictions on Stage 3 aircraft. But FAA's strong criticism of the Part 161 study for Bob Hope's curfew has not deterred Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA) from continuing work on two Part 161 studies it is preparing for noise restrictions on operations at Los Angeles Internationat Airport and general aviation Van Nuys Airport. "FAA's letter has not discouraged us from moving forward on our two Part 161 appiications," said Roger Johnson, deputy executive director of LAWA. "We feel very strongly that the circumstances surrounding our two applications are significantly different from those at Burbank." LAWA began its Part 161 studies in 2005 (17 ANR 30}. The Part 161 study for LAX will study the costs and benefits of making mandatory a voluntary preferential runway use program that sends departing aircraft to the west, over the Pacific Ocean, to reduce noise impact on communities east of the airport. Seven noise restrictions are being considered in the Part 161 study for Van Nuys. They were all identified in a Part 150 noise mitigation program for the airport. Kirsch said that the LAX and Van Nuys Pari I61 studies are almost done and he is waiting to see FAA's reaction to them. "We will know by the end of the summer whether Part 161 is completely dead," he said. "If [Bob Hope Airport] can't get a curfew, nobody will ever get a Part 161 approved," he said. The curfew would affect very few flights, essentially no commercial flights, and reliever airports are "a stone's throw away," he said. But it is the fact that nighttime flights from Bob Hope Airport would be diverted to nearby airports that concerned Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa so much that he sent a letter to the BGPAA opposing its mandatory night- time curfew. FAA. should (ook at reducing nighttime aircraft noise from all Los Angeles-area airports, not just Burbank, the mayor said. He was responding to concerns voices by neighbors around Van Nuys Airport who do not want Bob Hope Airport's night flights diverted over their heads. The Los Angeles City Council decided to postpone considering whether it too should oppose the Bob Hope curfew after being told by Bob Hope Airport officials that such opposition could jeopardize LAWA's Part 161 studies. Impacton OtherAirports FAA said in its letter to the airport authority that an environmental assessment should be prepared on the �� proposed mandatory curfew if it decides to continue through the Part 161 process. "The proposed restriction would generate noise and air quality impacts at other nearby airports, and is likely to be controversial on environmental grounds. Some of the airports to which the operations are proposed to shift already operate under a static noise variance, and the vicinity already is in non-attainrnent for certain air Guality standards. Because of these potential impacts, we believe an environmental assessment should be prepared to address the requirements oftheNational Environmental Policy Act,"D. Kirk Shaffer FAA associate administrator for airports, wrote. He also told the airport authority that the FAA was "pleased to see the draft benefit cost analysis demonstrates BGPAA can fully achieve compatibility around the airport without a restriction through completion of its long-standing sound attenuation program and possible new Area Naviga- tion (RNAV) procedures." That argument was also made in comments on the draft Part 161 study submitted by the Air Transport Association and the National Business Aviation Association, which both sharply criticized the costlbeneft analysis supporting the curfew. FAA's 13-page letter detailing its criticism of the draft Part 161 study and other comments on the draft study will be placed on the BGPAA website: www.burbankairport.com. F� Lauderdale, from p. 70 The airport has already set aside $33 million for the insula- tion program that it has collected from Passenger Facility Charges, althou�h the noise mitibation program is espected to cost significantly more than that. The FAA will not give the airport an indication of how much it will provide for noise mitigation until it issues its Record of Decision (ROD) approving the project, which is not due out for several months. Airport officials want to begin noise mitigation efforts before construction of the runway gets underway next year and have asked the County Board of Commissioners for permission to begin a pilot program to test various sound insulation measures this August. The Board has not yet indicated if it will agree to that. Greg Meyer, a spokesman for the airport, said it is too early to estimate how much noise mitigation for the runway extension, which will include buyouts and insulation, will cost. The County wants to be generous in terms of buyouts but has not yet determined whether they wili be restricted to homes in certain noise contours. Also, the airport will have to deal with the thorny question of what value to place on homes in a depressed hbusing market. Some homes in communities that will get h it with increased noise are tocated on canais that connect to the ocean, a very desirable location in Florida. John Rodstrom, a Broward County commissioner opposed to the runway extension, estimated that noise mitigation for the runway project would cost $2 billion, with the federal Airport Noise Report � C C� June 27, 2008 government paying about $200 million and the rest coming from various airport charges. A 30-day public comments period on the FEIS begins on June 27. The FEIS is available on the airport's website: htto:/ /www.broward.or airport/feis.htm. FAA's conclusion that extension of the south runway is the preferred alternative for managing growth at the airport is a major milestone in a controversial runway project that was frst proposed in 1987 but withdrawn and reconsidered by Broward County, the airport proprietor, in 2002 due to public opposition and concerns about noise impact. The FAA favors extending the south runway from 5,276 feet to 8,000 feet, which will entail crossing a federal highway and raiiroad tracks. In addition, a cross-wind runway would be closed. The $784 million runway extension is due to be completed by 2014, although it could be challenged by neighboring comrnunities. Without the ivnway extension, FAA estimated that flight delays will exceed 26 minutes on average by 2020. FAA estimated that enplanements are expected to grow from 22.7 million in 2007 to 30.8 million in2020. Critics of the runway expansion question the accuracy of FAA's growth projection in light of skyrocketing fuel prices, which are expected to reduce demand for air travel. 1'liiladelphia lnt'l ��.�. � ,�q � ,.

Rep. Joseph Sestak (D-PA) and Rob Andrews (D-N� held a press conference on June 16 demanding that the City of Philadelphia, proprietor ofthe airpoi�, come into full compli- ance with its Part 150 Noise Compatibility Program. Such compliance would require the airport to immediately stop using the new departure headings which were added by the Federal Aviation Administration in its redesign of the airspace of the New York/New Jersey/Philadelphi a area. If the City of Philadelphia is unwilling to enforce the noise compatibility program, surrounding jurisdictions hit with increased noise impact could seek an injunction in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania to enjoin the city and airport from further violations of its established noise policy, sources said. Also, dormarrt legislation in the Pennsylvania Legislature that would establish a regional airport authority that could expand othe►• airports in the region to relieve congestion at Philadelphia lnternational, could be revived. � Part X 54 Progra�n ' . . .

The agency also announced on June 19 that it will com- plete reviews of proposed Part 150 noise compatibility programs for three other airports by the end the year. Review of the proposed Part 150 program for Marana Regional Airport in Marana, AZ, will be completed by Dec. 3; review of the proposed Part 150 program for Las Vegas McCarran International Airport will be completed by Dec 6; and review of the proposed Part 150 program for Piedmont Triad International Airport in Greensboro, NC, will be completed by Dec. 7. Regarding the Port Columbus program, FAA considered 25 proposed noise mitigation measures that were either existing or amended under previous Part 150 programs or new. Outright approval was granted for 19 program elements including: � Designating a new engine run-up location to take advantage of shielding provided by a new building; con- struction of a noise berm/wall; • Replacement and potential relocation of a ground run-up barrier; • Offer a sound insulation program for non-compat- ible structures in the 65 dB DNL plus future 2012 contour in exchange far avigation casements; • Seek cooperation of the City of Columbus, Ohio, and Franklin County to amend their land use compatibility standards to achieve the level of compatibility identifed in the recommended land use compatibility guidelines; • Seek cooperation fi•om the City of Columbus and Franklin County to amend the boundaries of the Airport Environs Overlay Dish•ict to include proposed Airport Land Use Management District corresponding to the 60 DNL contour of the 20-year contour (2023); • Seek Cooperation from Franklin County, City of Gahanna, and Jefferson Township to amend the Franklin County zoning resolution to require applicants for rezoning, change of use, or special use permits to convey an avigation easement; • Seek cooperation from the township and city to adopt the proposed Airport Land Use Management District as part of their o�cial zoning regulations; • Seek cooperation from local jurisdictions to adopt building codes and subdivision codes applicable to the proposed Airport Land use Management District.

The delivery includes the WebTrak Internet flight and noise module, 14 noise monitors, and two flight tracking systems. Installation of the new noise and operations monitoring system began in April and is due to be compteted by the end of 2008. The system is based on expanded ANOMS 8 Internet technology and will support the noise program for one of the fastest-growing communities in the country. "We are excited to team with Lochard on this proj ect," said Mark Cameron, the airport's noise abatement coordinator and project manager. "In addition, as a community partner that shares concerns about aircraft noise, we are very pleased and eager to offer the Reno and Sparks communities the ability to utilize the internet-enabled WebTrak product as a part of the system de- pioyed." WebTrak is described by Lochard as "an advanced public relations tool providing display of flight tracks, noise, and weather to the airport's local community. The ability for self-investigation of noise disturbances, complaint entry, reports display, and noise contour overlays on the maps are ail features of WebTrak. In addition, because of the varying tenain around the airport, WebTrak will feature aircraft altitudes relative to the ground location under the aircraft." WebTrak is already operating at several airports in the United States with morecoming.
