Mendota Heights is a community directly affected by aircraft operations at Minneapolis-
St. Paul International Airport (MSP). Aircraft noise is a major issue for Mendota Heights
because of the detrimental impacts of increased operations on the quality of life in
existing neighborhoods and the impact of land use compatibility guidelines and noise
contours on development options.

principle for departure determination, thereby increasing the volume of traffic and the �b �
percentage of exclusive use of the southeast corridor, which was zoned ,��,(,
commerciallindustrial in cooperation with regional and local planning agencies. This ��
increased traffic has impacted existing compatible residential neighborhoods in 5 hu�S .
Mendota Heights. �
j � The City of Mendota Heights has worked strenuously to address airport noise issues. A
-- citizen Airports Relations Gommission has been established by Mendota Heights to
provide recommendations to the City Council on airport issues. This plan is a
compilation of the City's work and history regarding the airport, a set of policies and
acfions to guide future decisions on airport, a description of the conflicts with other
agencies responsible for airport impacts, and a discussion of the potential land use
impacts from agency requirements. In addition to these local efforts, the City has
adopted a zoning ordinance consistent with fiederal requirements for height control
jurisdictions.
GOA�S AND POLICIES
The overall goals in relation to airport related issues are as follows:
1. To reduce negative airport impacts in Mendota Heights.
2. To - � �� equitable distribution of flights among all
communities located adjacent to MSP.
3. To work diligently with all noise issues and agencies to decrease aircraft noise in
volume and to decrease the � of noise impacts.
� p�.Lr � �� a''1
Aircraft Noise Policies (
To address the issues described herein and to pursue the goals of the City, the
following are the policies of the City of Mendota Heights:
1. Increase public participation and representation through NOC and MAC.
2. Achieve noise reduction through advocating modified takeoff procedures and
corridor compliance.
3. Advocate an equitable distribution of aircraft traffic and a more equitable runway use
system.
4. Monitor the continued implementation of the Minnea olis/St. Paul (MSP) airport `

1987. Operations have strayed to existing residential areas outside of the planned
corridor however, significantly impacting several neighborhoods.
IMPACTS ON FUTURE LAND USE PLANNING
Mendota Heights has planned its land uses in relation to the City's experience with air
noise and the airport's aviation guidelines. New development and redevelopment in the
areas affected by air noise is closely scrutinized, and has been accomplished with
success through strict adherence to site planning and building design regulations.
The City of Mendota Heights has adopted the Metropolitan Council's model Sound
Attenuation Ordinance and has enforced the provisions of this ordinance for all building
permits in the Noise Zones since 1986. Tow�e projects are considered to be
cansistent with the Aviation Policy compatibility guidelines for Noise Zone 4, which
allows residential land uses, as a conditianal use. The conditional use for residential
land use in Noise Zone 4 is satisfied through the enforcement of the City's Sound
attenuation Ordinance, thereby, allowing residential construction to meet the Aviation
Guide Plan's land use compatibility guidelines.
The City of Mendota Heights considers tawn home development to be consistent with !
Aviation Guide Plan land use compatibility guidelines for the following reasons: ��
1. The experience of the City of Mendota Heights with the Sound Attenuation
Ordinance has shown that single family homes and multiplex residential structures
(in Noise Zone 4) can be sound attenuated as successfully as larger buildings with
shared entrances.
2. A continuing reduction in experienced air noise, as evidenced by the airport's
planning documents, new runway construction, and enhancements in aircraft
technology, will result in the protection of current Mendota Heights residential areas
from the prospect of new negative air noise impacts.
The City of Mendota Heights will allow for the development of town home projects,
consistent wifih the policy direction associated with the City's recent housing
developments around Lake Augusta, provided the project demonstrates compliance
with the following:
1. Future town home developments shall be required to limit the exterior use on the site
through unit design and the layout of the site plan.
2. Future town home developments shall be designed compliant with the building (
requirements of the City's Sound Attenuation Ordinance. `
3. Future town home developers shall file notice against the property deeds nofiifying all
future property owners that the parcels exist within the Metropolitan Council's Air
Noise Zones.

O�cials of the City of Romulus, MI, — in whose jurisdiction Detroit Metropoli-
tan Airport is located — are strongly objecting to a proposed new 10,000 ft.
runway that would displace more than 3,500 residents, close two schools, and
eliminate much ofthe city's industrial zone.
The new seventh runway at Detroit Metropolitan (which would be a fifth parallel
runway) is proposed in a 20-year master plan for the airport that will be considered
by the board of the Wayne County Airport Authority at the end of March.
The master plan will then be submitted to the Federal Aviation Adminisiration
for approval. The new runway would not be built unti115-20 years from now.
Airport authority o�cials contend that the new runway is needed to handle the
projected 2.3 percent annual increase in traffic expected at Detroit Metro, the 1 l�''
busiest airport in the nation and a hub for Northwest Airlines. Annual passenger
levels, c�ui�ently at around 36 million, are expected to increase to 60 million by
2027.
Romulus Mayor Alan Lambert said that "while the city supports responsible
expansion of the airport, we cannot support a plan that has such a severe eco-

The noise level reduction of Pratt & Whitney's new Geared Turbofan engine is
so significant, company officials are telling airports, that it will allow them to do
something that is urgently needed to reduce congestion and delay but strongly
resisted by communities: add new flight paths.
P&W officials have visited 20 airports recently to tout the noise reduction
expected from the new engine, which will begin flight tests in June and is expected
to go into service in 2013 on the new Mitsubishi Regional Jet.
The company has not released the names of the airports it visited but said "they
are major airports in the U.S., Europe, and Asia with specific focus on those
communities with significant noise sensitivities."
Matthew Pena, a spokesman for P&W Commercial Engines, said the new Geared
Turbofan engine will be able to meet the most stringent airport noise rules
worldwide.
The new engine is expected to emit only half the noise produced by current
engines. P&W estimates the following noise reductions for various categories of
Geared Turbofan engines:
� A cumulative 15 dB below current Stage 4 aircraft noise certification

nomic and social impact on the City. We appreciate the
regional economic benefits of the airport but we have to
look at the quality of life of our residents — and I have not
seen how this plan is good for Romulus."
The plan for the new runway would displace 16 percent of
the city's population (815 residential properties and 352
multiple family units) and appro�ci�n ately 30 industrial
properties, and would result in the loss of $114 million in
assessed property value, which city officials said would
economically devastate their community.
On Feb. 28, the Romulus City Council approved a resolu-
tion opposing the new runway in the proposed master plan.
It states that the preferred development plan in the master
plan "is based solely upon airport operations and fails to
take into consideration the direct social and economic
impacts outside the airport boundaiy."
Letter to FAA
In a Feb. 4letter to the FAA, Mayor Lambert asserted that
the Wayne County Airport Authority "has not met the
requirements for community participation" outlined in FAA
Advisory Circular 150-5070-6B onAirportMasterPlans.
"The City of Romulus cannot see how the approval
process can meet the process standards in [the advisory
circular] considering the local communities' comments are
excluded from consideration," the mayor told FAA.
"At every step in this process, when the City of Romulus
tendered critical cornments to the Technical Advisory
Committee (TAC) meetingpresentation, the [aizport
authority] and its consultant [Jacbosen Daniels Associates]
would submit a new plan at the next TAC meeting that
would do even more damage to the City of Romulus. The
punitive nature of this process is disiurbing," the mayor
wrote.
He told the FAA that the current size of the airport also
needs to be resolved. The city assessment records indicate
the airport to be 4,884.68 acres in size but the airport website
and Part 150 noise compatibility study state the size of the
airport to be 6,700 acres, the mayor told FAA. "It is our
understanding that there is a clearly defined map of Detroit
Metropolitan Airport that is required by the FAA. Please
provide the City of Romulus with a copy of that map at your
convenience," the mayor wrote.
No Choice �ut to Expand into City
Scott Wintner, a spokesman for the airport authority,
refuted the city's claim that it had been left out of the master
planning process. He said city off'icials were invited to
participate on the technical advisory committee and citizens
advisory committee but did not have a high rate of atten-
dance.
The airport authority wanted an open master planning
process and made presentations to the editorial boards of
local newspaper, Chambers of Commerce, and economic
development groups, he told ANR.
He stressed that the airport does not want to resort to
27
eminent domain to acquire the land for the new runway. The
goal is to make the city realize that the runway zs needed for
regional economic growth. Wintner contended that Romulus
will be the greatest beneficiary of the new runway because
new airport support businesses will relocate there and
stimulate the local economy. The airport must expand for the
regional economy to grow, he said, adding there is no choice
but to expand into the city.

proach, and sideline) used in noise certification testing.
Wyle Laboratories has produced sophisticated computer
models for P&W indicating that the noise footprint of the
Geared Turbofan engine would be 77 percent less than the
noise footprint produced by a Boeing 737-800 powered by a
GE CFM56 engine departing Amsterdam Schiphol Airport.

P&W announced in mid-February that a demonstrator
Geared Turbofan engine had completed phase I ground
testing ahead of schedule. Both performance and acoustic
testing was done on the full-scale demonstrator. Noise data
has not been released because it was done on component
parts and the demonstrator engine had no nacelle.
The engine wili now be configured with the flight nacelle
system for phase II ground testing which will begin in April
in preparation for flight testing in June.
"The Geared Turbofan engine's performance has been
outstanding and all initial test results have validated the
game-changing benefits of this new product," said Bob Saia,
vice president of P& W's Next Generation Product Family.
"The initial results surpassed our pre-test preclictions,
demonstrating the fuel-burn, noise and emissions character-
istics of this new architecture."
The Geared Turbofan engine is expected to reduce fuel
burn by 12 percent, cut NOx emissions by 50-55 percent, and
reduce CO2 emissions by 2,700-3,000 tons per aircraft
annually.
P&W said its new engine "is expected to set new standards
in environmental and operational engine performance."
In October 2007, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries selected the
new engine as the exclusive power for its next-generation
Mitsubishi Regional Jet. Bombardier also will power its new
CSeries aircraft with the Geared Turbofan engine.

FAA APPROVES UPDATE
TO PART 150 I�T(�ISE PROG�2AIVI
An npdate to the Part 150 Airport Noise Compatibiliiy
Program for Baltimore-Washington Intemational Thurgood
Marshall Airport was approved by the Federal Aviation
Administration on Feb. 26.
The program has not been updated since 1990.
The update included the following four revisions:
� Update a noise rule for Runway 15L/33R, a shorter
runway used mainly by general aviation aircraft. Prior to the
update, the rule required aircraft to be no louder than 90 dS
SEL as modeled in the FAA's Integrated Noise Model. Now
aircraft can be no louder than 87 EPNdB determined by
averaging the take-off and sideline noise certification levels
as listed in FAA's Part 36 advisory circular. The revision is
intended to make it easier for pilots to determine compliance
with the rule, which was imposed in FAA's approval of an
extension of the runway in 1998 and was intended to pull
high noise contours back onto airport property;
� Modify existing voluntary residential property
acquisition program to expand eligibility to the 65 dB DNL
contour line as defined by updated noise exposure maps.
Prior to the update, the program e�ctended only to the 70 dB
DNL contour;
• Modify existing Homeowners Assistance Program
to expand eligibility to the 65 dB DNL contour, which would
malce an additiona1135 single family homes and 540 multi-
family units in four buildings eligible. Prior to the update the
program extended only to the 70 dB DNL contour;
• Update the airport's noise and operations monitor-
ing system with more modern equipment. The current system
was installed in the mid-1980s. The Maryland Aviation
Administration, which operates B WI, would like to modern-
ize its current system by updating existing noise monitoring
equipment and creating new monitoring locations. The
airport is in the process of assessing what systems are
available.

New Orleans �nt'1 Resumes Insulation
New Orleans International Airport o�cials announced that
they will resume their residential saurid insulaiion program,
which had been put on hold after the extensive damage to
the area caused by Hurricane Katrina in 2005.
Some 40 homes will be insulated in the r�ext three phases of
the airport's insulation program at a cost of $132 million and
an average cost per home of $33,100.
Airport officials are in the process of consulting with
homeowners to determine if they are still interested in
participating in the program.
Unclear at this point is who will pay for the insulation of
the 40 homes. A.n Airport Improvement Program (AIP) grant
awarded to the airport for the insulation work expired at the
end of February. Airport off'icials said they have asked for an
extension of the grant, and if that is not provided, will apply
for a new grant and use Passenger Facility Charges to fill in
the funding gap.
Since the residential sound insulation program began in
2000, .sound insulation has been completed on 216 homes.
Some 172 homes remain to be insulated, including the 40 that
will be treated in the current phase.

Bob Hope Airport
. �•,�. ,� � � ; � ..
... � � ,,�, � .
The Burbank-Glendale-Pasadena Airport Authoriiy is poised to submit to the
Federal Aviation Administration a Part 161 costlbenefit study supporting a full
nighttime curfew at Bob Hope Airport.
If approved by the agency, it would be the first noise restriction on Stage 3
aircraft im�osed under the agency's Part 161 regulations, which were adopted in
1991 following passage of the Airport Noise and Capacity Act of 1990.
Other airports have begun the cost/beneiit analysis required under the Part 161
rules to support a new noise restriction in the United States but have abandoned
it unable to satisfy FAA's rigorous demands.
On March 5, a subcommittee of the airport authority recommended that the full
nine-member Airport Authority Commission consider a draft Part 161 application
seeking FAA approval of a mandatory curfew from 10 p.m. to 6:59 a.m. at Bob
Hope Airport and an escalating series of fines for repeated violations.
The recommendation also includes scheduling a 45-day comment period, public
workshop, and a public hearing on the airport authority's draft Part 161 Study and
the draft curfew application.

Airlines that serve congested Newark Liberiy Intemational Airport have agreed
to temporarily cap and spread flights for two years at a level that will allow 30 more
flights per day than last summer as a way to help reduce chronic delays, Secretary
of Transportation Mary Peters announced March 10.
She said that the cap, which will apply to both domestic and international flights,
will allow an average of 83 flights per hour during peak periods and will go into
effectin early May.
"We have an obligation to travelers to do everything in our power to prevent a
repeat of the horrors they experienced last summer," Peters said. "Delays in New
York are a regional problem, not just a single-airport problem."
A sunilar cap on hourly operations at New York's JFK International Airport will
go into effect ]ater this month.
Secretary Peters said that DOT will introduce "market-based mechanisms" at
Newark to allow the airport to accommodate growth while helping to reduce
congestion and delays. As capacity grows at Newark, DOT will auction slots at
the airport, which Peters said "is an approach that encourages competition, allows
new entrants, and responds to customer demand."

March 14, 2008
The Airport Authority Commission is expected to endorse
the subcottimittee's recommendation at a March 17 meeting.
"The authority has steadfastly looked for a means to
submit an application for a full curfew that meets all of the
Part 161 requirements and can be evaluated on its merits by
the FAA. We believe our methodology is very defensible,
and we are prepared to go to the FAA and make a very
strong argument in favor of this curfew," said Dan Feger,
interim executive directar of the Airport Authority.
Curfew Compared to Insulation
Part 161 regulations require that a proposed restriction
must satisfy six statutory conditions. Jacobs Consultancy,
which prepared the Part 161 study to support the curfew,
explained in the Executive Summary that "a central tenant of
the six statutory conditions is that a restriction on aircraft
operations to reduce noise (often referred to as an abate-
ment measure) must be more cost-effective than a measure
that lessens the impact of noise (often referred to as a
mitigationmeasure)."
The primary mitigation measure used at Bob E-Iope Airport
is an ongoing residential sound insulation program. So, the
focus of the Part 161 study was to quantify the marginal
savings to the sound insulation program versus the
marginal cost to aircraft operations of three mandatory
curfews considered (a full curfew, a curfew on departures
only, and a curfew based on aircraft noise level).
The Part 161 study concluded that monetized benefits of a
full mandatory curfew amounted to $67 million, which would
outweigh costs to airlines, passengers, cargo carriers, and
general aviation totaling $55 million.
T'he cost of a full curfew would be borne iargely by cargo
caniers and courier services, according to the study. The
next most-impacted category of users would be corporate jet
operators ar�d the least impacted users would be air carriers
and their passengers because most carriers already comply
with a voluntary curFew which applies during the same
hours as the proposed mandatory curfew.
The full curfew would eliminate the nighttime noise
problem while the other curfew options would substantially
reduce it, the study concluded.
The airport authority explained that "new access resiric-
tions are required to have a posirive benefit-cost ratio under
Part 161, although achieving a positive ratio is not a
guarantee that FAA will approve a proposed measure. The
$67 miliion in benefits of the proposed curfew are largely
based on savings that would occur by a reduced need for
residential acoustical treatment near the airport with the
curfew in place."
The airport authority also does not have to choose the
restriction with the greatest benefit-cost ratio, Airport
Authority spokesman V ictor Gill explained. In the case of
the three curfew options considered for Bob Hope Airport,
the departure curfew has the greatest benefit-cost ratio
(2.54), foll owed by the noise-based curfew (1.22), fol lowing
by the full curfew (1.21).

CostBenefit Analysis Revased
FAA was critical of the initial approach the airport authority
wanted to take in doing the cost/benefit analysis of the
proposed curfew. That approach was submitted to the
agency for review and guidance in 2003.
In May 2004, the FAA declared that the airport authority's
initial approach to determining tlie benef�ts of the curfew was
unacceptable because it considered benefits outside the 65
dB DNL contour and quanrified and monetized nighttime
awakenings of residents near the airport.
The FA.A also said that the airport's current voluntary
nighttime curfew had a compliance rate of almost 9'7 percent
and questioned whether any further restriction of operations
at night was warranted. The agency also said that the
proposed mandatory curfew, to the extent that it impacted
"quieter aircraft," might be unjustly discriminatory.
Based on the feedback from the FAA, the airport authority
revised its approach to the cost/benefit analysis. Among the
changes made were dropping the idea of monetizing awaken-
ings and, instead, surveying residents near Bob I3ope
Airport and nearby Van Nuys Airport (where planes would
be diverted due to the curfew) to determine how much they
would be willing to pay to not have nighttime flights. Also,
estimates of increased home values that the curfew would
provide were limited to the area within the 65 dB DNL
contour.
The Executive Summary of Bob Hope Airport's Part 161
Application for a Proposed Curfew is posted on the airport
authority's website at www.bobhopeairport.com.
`Ua�tested Tera-itoa-y'
C
C
Reaching the point of submitting a Part 161 study to the
FAA supporting a restriction on Stage 3 aircraft is "untested
territory," said Peter Kirsch ofthe Denver law firm Kaplan
Kirsch & Rockwell, which represents the City of Burbank in
aircraft noise matters. Burbank has long sought a nighttime
curfew at Bob Hope Airport. Several airports have gotten to
this stage but no airport has gotten past this stage, he said.
Kirsch said the interesting questions to be answered over
time are how the airport authority will respond to the
comments it will receive from the public and aviation industry
on the Part 161 study and whether the FAA will accept the
study or put it "in an inf'�nite loop" and demand more work be
done on it.
Another very interesting issue to watch is how FAA deals
with benefits in the analysis that cannot be monetized, such
as awakenings and lessening of local political controversy.
The agency has said that when doing a cost/benefit analysis
it is permissible for airports to consider benefits that cannot
be monetized and to value them, Kirsch said. But, he asked,
how will FAA deal with that?
Another interesting question is what the airport authority
says in its submission to FAA regarding the two alternatives �
to the full curfew that were considered in the Part 161 study,
Kirsch said. One would expect that the alternative with the �'
Airport Noise Report
( '
March 14, 2008
highest cosdbenefit rario must be selected but we don't
lrnow what FAA will say, he told ANR. Also, the airport
authority may gain information in the public review process
that requires it to make adjustments in the cost/benefit
analysis, he added.
Until a few months ago, he told ANR, the airport authority
had resisted releasing the draft Part 161 study for comment.
But the State of California put pressure on the airport
authority to complete the study process in its consideration
of whether to extend tlie airport's variance from state noise
regulations.
The full Part 161 draft study will not be released until
Monday (March 17) but the already-released Executive
Summary "is intriguing and shows real promise," Kirsch
said. "This study is a very important milestone that commu-
nities and airports have been waiting for," he said. But,
quoting former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan's
wazning against "irrational exuberance," he cautioned that
there is "still a long road ahead."
Newark, from p. 30
Peters also announced that DOT would "move key
elements of NextGen — the new satellite-based aviation
system designed to enhance efficiency and minimize delays
across the nation — from design to delivery this year."
Florida will begin serving as the test-bed for the new
system this summer, with the introduction ofNe�ctGen at
Daytona Beach and the use of a Continuous Descent
Approach (CDA) technique in Miami that saves fuel and
reduced noise and emissions, she said. Also, ADS-B
technology will help increase the capacity of airspace along
Florida's Gulf Coast by allowing planes to fly more closely
together without compromising safety.
In remarks delivered March 10 at tiie Federal Aviation
Adminisn�ation's annual Forecast Conference in Washing-
ton, DC, Secretary Peters thanked the airlines for their
cooperation in reaching an agreement in a cap on operations
at Newark. Airlines can avoid service cuts by shifting flights
to tirnes of the day when the airport has unused capacity,
si�e said.
Acting FAA. Administrator Robert Siurgell told the
conference that FAA is accelerating NextGen routes into
busy areas like Chicago, Dallas-Ft. Worth, Washington, DC,
andNew York.
FAA has increased its production of Required Navigation
Perfonmance (RNP) routes this year from 50 to 69, he said.
RNP and RNAV (area navigation) are capabilities that use an
aircraft's onboard technology and Geographic Positioning
System (GPS) to fly more accurate flight paths.
"NextGen is a transformation and it's happening now, and
we're moving ahead," Sturgell said.
In terms of the aviation forecast, Sturgell said, "The story
for Z008 is clear. The fundamentals of the industry —
continued growth, cheap ticket prices — are vibrant down the
32
road. With that said, in the near term, we're seeing a definite
pause in growth. We didn't have one in last year's forecast.
But this year, it's pretty clear. We're tallcing flat growth in
operations and slow growth in passengers."
That means that FAA's forecast that passenger levels will
reach one billion will slip a year from 2015 to 2016.
The pause in growth is caused by hundred dollar a barrel
oil, an economic picture in flux, potential airline consolida-
tions, and credit market woes, he explained.
But, the FAA chief stressed that demand for aviation
services will continue to rise in the long run. He predicted
that international markets will grow twice as fast as domestic
in the next few years, regional carriers will move to larger
regional jets that have over 50 seats, and there is still "a big
tailwind" for corporate aviation.
"All of this activity has implications for various airports,"
he said. "From an operarions standpoint, we predict that, on
average, every year, from now until 2025, we're going to add
the equivalent of JFK, LaGuardia, and Newark combined into
the system."
Santa Monica
. . ,; � r �,; � � .
! . � '� � '� ' . .
The Santa Monica City Council decided March 11 to delay
a vote on an ordinance that would ban the fastest business
jets operating at Santa Monica Airport in order to consider a
new offer by the Federal Aviation Administration to resolve
concerns about runway safery.
The offer, outlined in a March 7letter from FI-�,Ei Associate
Administrator for Airports Kirk Shaffer, includes four
provisions the agency hopes the city will accept in lieu of
moving forward with the ordinance, which FAA has
threatened to challenge in court.
Backing down from its earlier insistence that the city only
install an Emergency Material Arresting System (EMAS) —
concrete blocks that give way and slow planes that over-
shoot a runway — that accommodates jets traveling up to 40
laiots, the FAA said the city could install an EMAS at one
runway end that handles aircraft traveling at 70 knots, which
the city has insisted is needed.
The 70-Irnot EMAS could stop approximately 97 percent of
aircraft that operate at Santa Monica, including 90 percent of
the faster C and D category aircraft, whose approach speeds
exceed 121 knots. The Category C and D aircraft would be
barred under the proposed ordinance.
FAA also agr-eed to move holding lines on two taxiways to
direct noise and emissions away from close-by neighbor-
hoods. Neighboring homes would get aircraft sideline noise
rather than exhaust noise, which is louder.
The agency also told the city that its Air Tra�c Organiza-
tion has accelerated work to redesign a departure route that
allows aircraft operations at Santa Monica to run indepen-

dently from those at Los Angeles Intemational Airport, except to the south.
This change would "very substantially decrease" the number of aircraft held
idling on the gound at Santa Monica, which will also have a noise and
emissions benefit for those on the ground, Shaffer said.
Finally, ShafFer said the agency has recently transitioned to electronic
Notices to Eiirmen (NOTAMS) and is proposed that two NOTAMS be added
for pilots filing flight plans to Santa Monica: one would give the pilots
information on best practices to avoid runway overruns ane the other would
provide information on Santa Monica's Fly Neighborly program, including
operations and noise abatement procedures developed by the city.
"I challenged my staff to put aside their previous work on this matter and
approach the problem with fresh eyes and a clean sheet of paper," Shaffer to
Santa Monica City Manager P. Lamont Ewell. "I believe they have done
exactly that, as evidenced by these four elements."
But FAA had been directed to rethink its position on runway safety areas at
Santa Monica by Rep. 7ames Oberstar (D-MN), the powerful chairman of the
House Transportation and Infrastructure, and California Reps. Jane Harmon
(D) and Henry Waxman (D) at a Jan. 29 meeting with the FAA on the matter.
Santa Monica Airport was built to FAA's runway safety standards for
Category B-II aircraft; not for the faster Category C and D aircraft. FA.A
contends that the runways are safe for faster airplanes but the city fears
faster planes will overshoot the runways and end up in street and homes just
yards from the airport boundary. The airport's runways cannot be extended
to provide a longer safety area because of sloping terrain and nearby multi-
million dollar homes that would have to be cleared.
FAA V6�iil Atfend Mareh 25 City Council Meeting
FAA's Shaffer is expected to present the agency's offer to the Santa Monica
City Council at a March 25 meeting, when the airport ordinance will be
reconsidered and a vote on it taken.
The City Council approved a first reading of the ordinance on Nov. 27, 2007.
Initial reactions to FAA's new offer indicate that at least some members of
the City Council are not afraid to test the ordinance in court.
"My %rst reaction to this letter from Mr. Shaffer was that it would make a
wonderful paper airplane," Counci]member Kevin McKeown said, according
to the Santa Monica Daily Press. "This letter does not break any new ground
and I think I could throw a Gulfstream jet as far as I trust the FAA ai this
point based on what's happened in the past."
