The matter has been brought to the City's attention due to a home buyer/contractor disagreement for an infill home at the end of Lakeview Avenue. This memo will outline how Mendota Heights City Code applies to homes in the 60-64 DNL and serve as a starting point for furtlzer discussion on the issue. Current City Code (Title 12 Chapter 4) was developed from a template provided by the Metropolitan Council. The code provides a noise compatibility table for new development and major redevelopment projects; it also provides a noise compatibiliiy table for infill development, reconstruction and additions to homes within aircraft noise zones. The code stipulates that building plans submitted to the City must specify STC ratings for exterior materials, windows and doors. Code also stipulates that the plans must specify how the installation of materials demonstrates a good faith effort to attenuate noise. Code indicates that the City may ask that plans certified by a recognized acoustical specialist. The plans for the home on Lakeview were certified by a recognized acoustical specialist. Inspections are conducted in order to determine that construction is in accordance with the approved plans, but does not require that staff verify that each material is the exact material cited on approved plans. This is common procedure for all of our inspections, similar to many � communities. In reviewing the current Code with Planner Steve Grittman, he felt that to create a new standard for airport noise could� be viewed as an arbitrary action, and might increase our liabiliiy if a homeowner is dissatisfied with a contractor's work. �'he City could, in effect be placing itself between the buyer and contractor in a civil disagreement. Recommendation City Council discussed this issue at their annual goals workshop, and felt it would be appropriate to update our ordinance so that it is required to have plans for building permits certified by a recognized acoustical specialist. � r� �T ��i {� . C � Page 1 of 7 . , - : . - - . , � . , � ' ;12-4-1: AUTHORITY AND FINDINGS: A. Statutory Authority: This chapter is adopted pursuant to Minnesota statutes section 473.192. (Ord. 232, 5-19-1987; amd. 2003 Code) B. Findings Of Fact: The city finds that development within certain areas of the city is impacted by aircraft noise; that said noise is beyond the regulatory authority of the city to control; that certain uses of land are inappropriate in ,areas of high aircraft noise; that some structures do not adequately attenuate aircraft noise resulting in negative impacts on the health, safety and welfare of the residents or inhabitants of the structures; that, through proper construction methods, the means exist to attenuate aircraft noise to interior levels which alleviate such negative impacts; and that the requirements of this chapter are necessary to promote and preserve the health, safety and welfare of the citizens of Mendota Heights. (Ord. 232, 5-19-1987) 12-4-2: PURPOSE: The purpose of this chapter is to require that new or redeveloped portions of buildings within the city be constructed with materials and in such a manner that aircraft noise is attenuated by the structure to an interior level which has na adverse impact on the health, safety and general welfare of the residents, all in accordance with the metropolitan council's guidelines for land use compatibility with aircraft noise. This chapter shall not apply to remodeling or rehabilitating an existing residential building, nor to the construction of an appurtenance to an existing residential building. (Ord. 232, 5- � � 19-1987) � 12-4-3: DEFlNITIONS: For purposes of this chapter, the terms defined in this secfion have the meanings given them in this section. AIRCRAFT NOISE ZONE� Any one of the four (4) zones identified on the man attached to ordinance 232 and incorporated herein by reference. CONSISTENT: Land uses that are acceptable. d6A: A unit of sound pressure level weighted by use of the A metering characteristics and weighting as specified in the American national standards institute specification for sound level meters (ANSI S1.4-1983), which is hereby incorporated by reference. "dBA" is also referred to as an A-weighted decibeL INCONSISTENT: Land uses that are not acceptable even if acoustical treatment was incorporated in the structure. . INFILL DEVE�OPMENT: Pertains to an undeveloped parcel or parcels of land proposed for development similar to or less noise sensitive than the developed parcels surraunding the undeveloped parcel (for example, a new house on a vacant lot in a residential neighborhood, or a � ! new industry on a vacant parcel in an established industrial area). �dn: The day-night average level, or the twenty four (24) hour equivalent continuous sound level (time http://66.113.195234/MN/Mendota%20Heights/docbar.htrn 2/6/2008 Page 2 of 7 ,, averaged A-weighted sound level) from midnight to midnight, obtained after the addition of ten (10) _, dBA to sound levels measured from ten o'clock (10:00) P.M. to seven o'clock (7:00) A.M. Leq: The equivalent continuous sound level which, over the period of one hour, has the same A- weighted sound energy as the time varying sound. � MAJOR REDEVELOPMENT: A relatively large parcel of land with all structures proposed for extensive rehabilitation or demolition, and different uses (for example, demolition of a square block of old office and hotel buildings for new housing, office, commercial uses; conversion of warehouse to office and commercial uses). NEW DEVELOPMENT: A relatively large, undeveloped tract of land proposed for development (for example, a residential subdivision, industrial park or shopping center). NOISE REDUCTION LEVEL: The difference between the exterior and interior sound level, expressed in dBA, which is achieved by the intervening structure. RECOGNIZED ACOUSTICAL SPECIALIST: A person qualified by education and experience to cbnduct sound analyses of buildings and approved for such purpose by the city. The approved individual shall have at least three (3) years of experience in the field of sound control and a degree from a recognized institute of higher learning in the process of sound analysis of buildings. RECONSTRUCTION OR ADDITIONS TO EXISTING STRUCTURES: Pertains to replacing a structure destroyed by fire, age, etc., to accommodate the same use that existed before destruction, or expanding a structure to accommodate increased demand for an existing use, but does not pertain ta remodeling or rehabilitating existing residential buildings nor to the construction of an appurtenance to an existing residential building. ( ` SOUND: Energy that is transmitted by pressure waves in the air or in other materials and is the objective cause of the sensation of hearing. It is commonly called "noise" if it is unwanted. SOUND ATTENUATION: The reduction in sound level which occurs between the source and receiver. SOUND LEAK: An opening in a structure through which sound can pass. "Sound leaks" are often extremely small holes ar cracks. In general, an air leak is a"sound leak". SOUND LEVEL: The level of sound pressure measured with a sound level meter and one of its weighting (frequency) networks. When A-weighting is used, the "sound level" is expressed as dBA. SOUND TRANSMISSION CLASS (STC): A single number rating for describing the degree of sound transmission loss specified for a wall, window, partition or other building element. The higher the STC, the more attenuation the building element will afford. (Ord. 232, 5-19-1987) 12-4-4: SCOPE AND EFFECT: A. Scope: The aircraft noise zones established by this chapter shall overlay the zoning districts established by chapter 1 of this title, so that any parcel of land lying in an overlay zone shall also lie on one or more of the established zoning districts.

" ARC asked staff to do a little digging into the issue, to find out why this language was included, as the City of Mendota Heights might actually favor requiring disclosure. The language in the legislative policies document originated from the City of Minneapolis, they proposed the language as a means to protect current home owners, citing the fact that it can be difficult already to sell a home which is located near an airport. The City of Minneapolis feels ( � that requiring disclosure regarding airport noise could make selling a home extremely difficult. Metro Cities did not have a strong feeling on the matter, and allowed the language into the final draft of the legislative policies document. In doing more research, Dave Haminargren of Haininargren and Meyer, P.A. was contacted. Hammargren has been representing home buyers (primarily in Hennepin County) on a variety of issues for several years. Mr. Haminargren notes that MN Statue requires disclosure of any "material facts" which can impact the buyer's enjoyment of the home: An article on ihis requirement has been attached. In Mr. Hammargren's view, Airport Noise can be a material issue; a strong case could be made for legislating air noise disclosure. Mr. Ha.imnargren would be willing to provide further opinion ----� on the issue, should ARC choose to pursue it fizrther. At the root of the issue, is finding a balance between protecting current home owners and protecting potential buyers. At this time there is no legislation proposed regarding air noise andlor disclosure. �-� - �..`' �6 �-�� • . � � New Legislation Increases Disclosure Requirements for Home Sellers - Fredrikson & Byron P.A. Page 1 of 2,; New Le�islation Increases Disclosure Requirements for Home Sellers BY: MARK W. VYVYAN November 2002 �ne of the most difficult issues for a home seller is how much to disclose regarding fihe home's physicai condifiion. The Minnesota lagislature passed legislation that becomes effective January 1, 2003, requirinq sellers of residential real propertyto disclose all known material facts pertaining fio adverse physical conditions of the property which could adversely and significantly affect (i) an ordinary buyer's use and enjoyment of the property, or {ii) any intended use of the property of which the seller is aware. The enactment of this legislation cames a year after the Real Estate Brokers Act that requires brokers and salespersons to make similar disclosures regarding fihe physical condition of properties they are selling. That legislation was discussed in the Fall 2001 issue of the Rea/ Estate Focus. � Mark W. Vyvyan Real Estate The new disclosure provisions for sellers have a broad scope beyond previous mvyvyan@fredl disclosure requirements. The provisions require disclosure of adverse facts regarding all types af "residential real property," including single family residences 612.492.7005 and units in common interest communities such as town homes and condominiums. They apply to most transfers of any interest in residential real � estate, whether by sale, exchange, contract for deed, lease with purchase option, or any other type of purchase option. Some types of transfers are, however, specifically excluded from the disclosure requirements, including those of non-residential real property, pursuant ta court order, resulting from a decree of marriage dissalution, and of newly constructed residential property that has nat yet been inhabited. While Minnesota Stafiutes already required fihe disclosure of certain items, including wells and septic systems, and some local ordinances required disclosure af the condition of the physical components of the home, most Minnesotans were not previously required to disclose the condition of their home. In fact, under Minnesota common law, one parky to a transaction generally has no dufiy'to disclose material facts to the other. Klein v. First Edina Nat'1 Bank, 196 N.W.2d 619 (Minn. 1972). Perhaps the mast significant exception to this general rule required a party with "special knowledge" of a material fact to which the othei party did not have access, to disclose that fact to the other party. The new disclosure legislation axpands on that common law exception, requiring disclosure of material facts which could adversely and significantly affect an ordinary buyer's use and enjoyment ofi the property or an intended use of the property of which the seller is aware, without regard to whether the seller has "special knowledge" of the condition or whether the purchaser is withaut access to facts regarding the adverse condition. There are same exceptions to the disclosure requirements. The new legislation provides that a home seller is not required to disclose information regarding the physical condition of the properfiy if a written report disclosing the information prepared by a qualified third party, such as a home inspector, has been provided to the prospective buyer. This exception is not likely to eliminate the need ta disclose adverse conditions, however, because the new legislation requires disclosure of those facts before a purchase agreement is signed. Under current Minnesota practice, most home inspections are conducted after the � purchase agreement has been signed. Like the legislation enacted last year for brokers and salespersons; the new legislation provides that home sellers are not required to disclose cerkain types of potentially adverse facts.

Page 2 of 2 � If the property is or was occupied by someone who is, or was suspected to be, infected with the HIV virus or AIDS. � If the property was the site of a suicide, accidental death, natural death, or perceived paranormal activity. � If the property is located in a neighborhood containing an adult family home, community based residential facility or nursing home. � Information regarding the presence of sexual predators, provided the seller gives written notice that information about predatory offender registry and registered offenders may be.obtained by contacting local law enforcemenfi agencies or the Department of Corrections. The new disclosure legislation is especially significant in that it creates a new cause of action tor home buyers under Minnesota law. The legislation specifically allows a buyer to commence a civil action seeking damages or other equitable relief in the event of a failure to comply with the disclosure provisions. An action under the new legislation must be initiated within two years from the date of clasing. Importantly, the new disclosure provisions do not preclude liability based on common law theories such as fraud and negligent misrepresentation. For mare information regarding these theories, please see the Winter 2001 issue of the Reaf Estate Focus. http://www.fredlaw.com/articles/realestate/real_0211 mwv.html 2/7/2008 CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS � February 7, 2008 TU: ARC Cornmissioners FROM: Linda Shipton, Senior Secretary SUBJECT: Updates for Introduction Packet Please replace the following pages in your ARC Introduction Packet Table of Contents Operations North of the 090° Corridor Boundary (put with #14) < <� The foilowing should be replaced from your monthly ARC Meeting Agenda Packet. # 7 Airport Noise Report — Put the latest issue of this in your Intro Packet #13 December 2007 - Technical Advisors Report #14 December 2007 - Eagan Mendota Heights Corridor Report C � C� � Section l. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7.* 8. 9. 10.* 11. 12. 13. * 14. * 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. 21. 22.

Passenaer and Operations Summarv Staff responded to Commissioner Landy's questions regarding the declining passenger levels at MSP as compared to other airports. COMMISSIONER LAiVDY MOVED AND COMMISSIONER MARS SECONDED APPROVA� OF THE PASSENGER AND OPERATIONS SUMMARY. The Motion passed by unanimous vote. Finance, Development and Environment Committee A6 Crystal Airport Long Term Cornprehensive Plan Update �� Bridget Rief, Asst. Director-Airside Development, stated that following the December FD&E Committee meeting staff finalized responses to questions received from the City of Crystal. Those responses were sent to all Commissioners and given to the City last week as well as posted on the MAC website. This week staff, along with Commissioner Peilen, met with representatives from the City of Crystal and discussed their questions on the forecasts and assumptions that were made regarding the based aircraft and operational forecasts. The Long Term Comprehensive Plan (LTCP) process has been going on for about two years, during which staff has held half dozen meetings with the City of Crystal, City of Brooklyn Park, Brooklyn Center and Hennepin County. Two public meetings regarding the �TCP and the Reliever Airport model and financing have been held. There have been numerous meetings with tenants as well as informal comments. The recommended concept, Alternative #4, is still the preferred alternative, recommended by staff, for Crystal Airport. Commissioner Mars expressed his disappointment that he has not heard from.landowners, business people, school superintendents, etc., regarding development of the property and what it would add to the cultural benefits and tax base. Ms. Rief responded that staff hasn't received input specifically from that group, but she pointed out that the Tinklenberg Group expressed some interest in alternative development of the land. In the Airport Closure Report, staff did look at what the value of the land would be, if sold, but there is no way to know the land would ultimately be developed for -either industrial or residential purposes. Chairman Lanners opened �the meeting for public comment. Renae Bowman, Mayor of Crystal, addressed the Commission and urged Commissioners not to approve the staff recommendation. Full Commission Meeting December 17, 2007 Page 5 Discussion continued regarding the increase in business aviation based on the forecast from the FAA, as well as the resolution the City of Crystal passed in 2005 supporting the closing of the Crystal Airport. The following individuals testified in support of the LTCP recommendation presented by staff: Richard Osaka - resident Keith Struck - Crystal Airport Community Graup Kevin Bauder - Crystal Airport Community Group Robert Swanson - resident Richard Johnson - Civil Air Patrol - Crystal Airport Bruce Wiley - Crystal tenant Dr. Robert Schroeder - RAAC - Crystal Airport Calvin Fogelman - Crystal Airport Community Group Steve Wentworth - resident James Cunningham - resident Greg Reigel - MATA Craig Rose - tenant Gary Grose - tenant Ted Hoeben - tenant Comrnissioner Peilen commented that she has had the opportunity to meet with both officials from the City of Crystal and tenants, and has struggled with the right course of action. She believes that the staff proposal allows for compromise because it frees some additional lands for non-aviation development and is a win-win for everyone involved. She supports the staff recommendation. Commissioner Boivin raised concern that approving this action will not change anything and the Crystal Airport tenants could be down this road again in the future. He would like to believe general aviation will improve, but he has not seen a commitment to make this a business aviation airport. Chairman Lanners reminded Commissioners that there are very limited expansion capabilities at MSP and MAC cannot afford general aviation traffic coming into MSP, especially in the future. The analysis shows that through 2030 there should be good capacity by maintaining two runways at Crystal Airport. This recommendation is a win-win in preserving a valuable asset to the entire system and the community, while providing avenues for growth of non-aeronautical uses along the 81 Corridor and other areas. COMMISSIONER LANDY MOVED AND COMMISSIONER WILLIAMS SECONDED APPROVAL TO: 1. THAT BASED ON THE INFORMATION PROVIDED BY STAFF AT THE NOVEMBER FD&E MEETING AND FURTHER DISCUSSION, THE RECOMMENDED CONCEPT AND PROJECT ELEMENTS IDENTIFIED AS ALTERNATIVE #4 - MAINTAINING ONE PRIMARY RUNWAY AND ONE CROSSWIND RUNWAY AT THE CRYSTAL AIRPORT BE SELECTED AS THE PREFERRED ALTERNATIVE IN THE LTCP UPDATE; 2. THAT STAFF B.E AUTHORIZED TO COMPLETE THE DRAFT �TCP DOCUMENT FOR CRYSTAL; 3. THAT STAFF BE AUTHORIZED TO MAKE THE DRAFT AVAI�ABLE FOR PUBLIC COMMENT; 4. UPON COMP�ETION OF THE PUBLIC Ct�MMENT PERIOD, STAFF BE AUTHORIZED TO FINALIZE THE LtCP DOCUMENTS. The Motion passed on the following majority vote.

Discussions with both Xcel and Relian# have identified additional projects that are eligible for energy saving rebates and will save the Commission additional energy costs. Chilled Water Distribution Improvements $4,800,000 Concourses E, F and the south end of the Lindbergh Terminal experience warm conditions during the summer months due to bottlenecks in the chilled water system that serve these areas. This project provides for increasing the size of existing chilled water piping and replacing four existing chilled water coi(s in order to increase the capacity of the chilled water distribution system. This project also includes mechanical upgrades in the area of the proposed new landside restaurant. 21 - Field and Runway MSP Fuel Consortium Modifications* $570,000 The MSP Fuel Consortium operates the airline fuel system that was installed by the MAC. The Consortium has requested that upgrades to the system are required over the next several years. Projects that have been requested include the upgrade of its emergency generator. The Fuel Consortium will reimburse MAC for these costs. * Self-liquidating Project O l/23/0$ Runwav 30L EMAS Repiacement $3,000,000 In 1999, a project was completed to enhance the Runway 30L safety area with the installation of an Engineered Materials Arresfing System (EMAS). The EMAS bed is comprised of cellular cement blocks � that are designed to stop an aircraft over-run by exerting predictable deceleration forces on the landing gear as the EMAS crushes. The cement blocks have begun to deteriorate and 11 rows were replaced in 2007. This project will provide for the replacement of the remaining rows. Perimeter FencelGate Barrier Svstem $6,400,000 This project is part of a phased program to strengthen the perimeter security fence and airfield access gates. Proposed work includes the reinforcement of the existing chain link fence with steel cabling and in some locations welded wire mesh fence on concrete barriers. Existing gates will be reinforced and a hydraulic crash barrier will be constructed at one gate location. 26 - Terminal Roads/Landside Tunnel/Bridqe Rehabilitation $100,000 A Bridge and Tunnel Safety Inspections Report was prepared in 2007. The report outlines structural maintenance recommendations to be implemented. While there are no significant structural repairs required, this annual rehabilitation program for bridge and tunnel maintenance started in 2007. 31 - Parking Humphrev Ramp VMS/Revenue Control System Upqrades $800,000 This project provides for the installation of a number of Variable Message Signs (VMS) at the Humphrey Parking Ramp and on airport roadways beiween the Humphrey and Lindbergh Terminals that will aid in directing the public to the appropriate parking facility. It is also proposed to install additional revenue control equipment and signage to allow for more flexibility in the use of the Humphrey parking ramps. This project will be phased over two years with the work in the parking ramps scheduled for implementation in 2008. Lindberqh Guaranteed Parkinq Control $180,000 The Landside Operations Department has established a guaranteed parking area on the graund level of ( the Gold Parking Ramp. This project will construct a new entrance and exit into this area from the east \ commercial vehicle roadway including the installation of revenue control equipment. AVI Reader Replacement $1,100,000 This project includes the replacement of the AVI readers and AVI tags with current technology. The existing equipment was installed as part of the 1994 automation of commercial vehicle and taxi dispatching.

Synthesis projects are those in which contractors are asked to compile existing information on selected topics but not to undertake new research. Past efforts to mitigate aircraft noise have reduced the size of the 65 DNL contour around U.S. airports and today most noise complaints come from persons residing outside DNL 65 contours, the Transportation Research Board (TRB), which manages the ACRP program for the Federal Aviation Administration, noted in a tentative scope of the project. And, it stressed, the Joint Planning and Development Office (JPDO) has deter- mined that aircraft noise must be aggressively addressed to meet the tripled capacity requirements of the Next Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen). "Federal law and policy concerning noise abatement and mitigation outside DNL 65 is considered on a case-by-case basis, which has resulted in a wide range of (Continued on p. 2) Technology �: .. . ., � :� :� ,�: , .. , .. : ��, .. , ;, � : :�. � ; i` � , ' '' ", �_ � : � - � ; �_ � ; � ;1: ) . The Federal Aviation Administration recently approved an application by cargo giant UPS to fly advanced ADS-B operations at Louisville International Airport, including the first satellite-guided merging and spacing during approaches in the United States. The advanced navigation technology will allow UPS to use Continuous Descent Approach (CDA) procedures at the airport, which will cut aircraft noise and emissions by 30 percent and reduce fuel burn by 40-70 gallons for each arrival. A 30 percent reduction in aircraft noise levels equals a 6 dB reduction below 6,000 feet, according to UPS. By the end of 2008, UPS plans to have 55 aircraft equipped with the ADS-B SafeRoute software suite needed for satellite-guided merging and spacing during approaches. That will be 25 percent of the fleet operating there. As more aircraft become equipped with the SafeRoute software, the number of CDAs will increase. Initially, UPS will use the CDA for its nighttime (Next Day) air operations but plans to expand the use of the CDA to its Second Day daytime operations, although a date for daytime use has not been set yet. UPS is already using CDA procedures at night at Mather Airport in California where the airspace is less complicated than at Louisville Intemational. (Continued on p. 2) In 7'hi� Issue... Research ...

Many airports are currently struggling to respond appropriately to noise concems, particularly those experi- encing rapid growth in operations. While some airports have explored the options for reducing the impacts of aviation noise outside DNL 65, most have concentrated efforts within the DNL 65." The goal of the project is to compile in one place current applicable federal law and policy regarding noise programs outside DNL 65 and to provide the state of the practice on airport responses to noise complaints outside the DNL 65 contour. The project will compile existing and proposed applicable laws, policies, and regulations, plus relevant court decisions regarding noise programs outside DNL 65. It also will identify airports that have or are planning programs to address noise impact beyond DNL 65 and to deime the underlying reasons why those programs are being under- taken. Airport Survey Will Be Done A survey of airport managers will be conducted to gain information on airports that have published noise contours beyond DNL 65 and why that was done; to determine why programs outside of DNL 65 were undertaken (litigation, political directives, community-airport settlement agree- ments, etc); to describe types of existing programs (real estate notices, continuous descent approach procedures, flight track working groups, etc); and to summarize compo- nents of and reimements to existing programs. Those interested in serving as a member of a topic panel that will guide the project, or to nominate someone to serve on the panel, must contact Gail Staba, the ACRP staffer responsible for the project, at gstaba@nas.edu by Jan. 15. Contractors interested in conducting the project must submit letters of interest to Staba by Feb. 15. Four other ACRP Synthesis projects will be conducted in 2008: (1) Approaches to Integrating Airport Planning and National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) Processes, (2) Airport System Planning Practices; (3) Practices for Deter- mining Benefits for Airport Benefit-Cost Analysis; and (5) Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) Sensor Technology for General Aviation Airports. For information on all the 2008 Synthesis projects, go to http://www.trb.org/Studi es/Synthesis/ SynthesesACRPNew.asp. Multimodal Noise and Emissions Project On Jan. 4, the Transportation Research Board issued a Request for Proposals seeking a contractor for a 13-month, $200,000 Airport Cooperative Research Proj ect (ACRP 02- 09) to produce a comprehensive plan that will guide the future development (by others) of a multimodal noise and emissions model. "The social, environmental, and economic effects of noise, emissions, congestion, and delays from aircra$, highways, and rail are typically evaluated and mitigated separately," TRB explained in its announcement. "This fragmented approach can lead to incomplete environmental analyses and, as a result, ine�cient expenditure of public funds. Environ- mental effects could be more thoroughly evaluated if a multi- modal analysis model existed. For example, multimodal analysis could reveal whether a transit-rail liune built next to an existing highway leading to an airport would result in an increase or decrease in noise and emissions. This model could also facilitate a comparative cost and economic unpact analysis of alternatives and mitigation strategies." Proposals for the contract are due no later than 4:30 p.m. on Feb. 27.

On an 11-8 vote, the Jacksonville, FL, Gity Council voted Jan. 8 to extend the runway at general aviation Craig Munici- pal Airport from 4,000 feet to 5,600 feet to make it safer for pilots but opponents fear the extension will allow larger and noisier business jets into the airport. Jacksonville Mayor John Peyton refused the next day to veto the runway extension, prompting some in the commu- nity to begin seeking a recall petition on the ground that he broke a campaign promise to bar the project. The project will come before the City Council again after public hearings on it are held and it also must be approved by various state agencies. The City Council vote on the runway extension came after a three-hour public hearing where most people strongly opposed the project. The City Council approved amendments to the runway extension plan that shortened the extension from the 6,000- foot length the Jacksonville Airport Authority wanted to �', 5,600 feet. It also required the airport authority to give up eminent domain rights over homes in high noise contours. ` Airport Noise Report ( January 11, 2008 3 Military �. ,,. � � : , � � . � , , . _� The U.S. Navy zs in the process of selecting a contractor for a project to find new ways to reduce jet exhaust noise from military fighter aircraft and the results of the projects are expected to be integrated into the design of future super- sonic business jets. Last September, the Navy announced the project (Exhaust Jet Noise Reduction for Tactical Aircraft). The Navy is seeking "new innovative approaches" to design and engineer nozzle component that attenuate the exhaust jet noise ofmodern tactical aircraft. "Noise from the turbulent, hot, supersonic jets at these conditions dominates noise emanating from other powerplant components (e.g. fan and combustor) and has significant safety implications for launch personnel as well as the environrriental impact of noise pollution around military installations," the Navy explained. It said that noise generation mechanisms of supersonic jets "are quiet complex and different than those of subsonic jets typically encountered in the exhausts of high-bypass ratio transport aircraft powerplants." Some 13 firms are competing for the project. The Navy expects to announce the winner in the spring. Vancouver Int't ,, . ;�,, � : ,�: ;� ; :� - ; �. � � . In response to noise complaints from communities near Vancouver (Canada) International Airport to airspace changes made last May, NAV CANADA said it will adjust four flight paths, beginning Feb. 14, to reroute planes over water at least in the early morning and overnight hours. The mayor of one of the communities that will get noise relief said she is happy with the plan. In May 2007, NA V CANADA made a number of changes to aircraft routes in Southern British Columbia following a three-year study. Among the changes implemented were new Standard Terminal Arrival Routes (STARs) for aircraft inbound to Vancouver International. Whenever NAV CANADA makes such airspace changes, it conducts a review 90 days after the changes are imple- mented to verify that the goals of enhanced safety and increased efficiency have been met. However, due to noise complaints from residents south of the Vancouver Interna- tional, the study also addressed noise impact by placing noise monitors in several areas. The study found that the airspace changes implemented last May had had a"significant, positive effect" on the management of air traffic in tenms of safety, e�ciency, reduced traffic delays and reduced greenhouse gas emis- sions, NAV CANADA said. It said that aircraft arrival delays have decreased by 97 percent and the airport's hourly acceptance rate has increased by 25 percent. Routing changes made in Vancouver are reducing greenhouse gas emissions by an estimated 79,000 metric fions of CO2 annually, which is equivalent to taking 17,000 cars off the road, and is saving aircraft operators $20 million in fuel costs. But NAV CANADA said it has listened to those complain- ing about increased noise impact and has made "reasonable" adjustments to address those concerns. The company said it cannot simply undo the airspace changes that were made last May but it will adjust some routes to direct airplanes over water. The following adjustments to air traffic routes will be made: • A new visual approach will be published directing aircraft to fly up the middle of Boundary Bay when they elect to fly visually rather than taking a short-cut over several communities neaz Vancouver Intemational; • The Standard Terminal Arrival Route for one runway will be moved approxirnately two nautical miles to the east to put it offshore; • Overnight procedures will be implemented to direct tr�c up Boundary Bay rather than to cross it; � Between midnight and 6 a.m., westbound depar- tures off Runway 08R will be directed south over water to avoid over-flying communities. NAV CANADA is the private sector corporation that owns and operates Canada's civil air navigation service. �iirspace � : �; . �, :� .i, ;u � �° s � . : .. ;� , � ., .. Some leaders of Greenwich, CT, who helped form a coalition of towns that challenged the Federal Aviation Adminisira- tion over its plan to revise the airspace in the New York/New Jersey/Philadelphia metropolitan area, are now wondering if they should have sued the agency. "At this point, I personally have a nurnber of reservations about continuing the lawsuit," Erica Puinell, co-chair of the Selectmen's Advisory Coznmitkee on Aircraft Noise, told the Greemvich Times. Last November, Greenwich and 10 other towns, all but one in Connecticut, filed suit in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second District of New York asserting that the FAA failed to consider the noise and other environmental impacts of the controversial airspace redesign. The Greemvich Times reported Jan. 8 that a number of the Advisory Committee's members, who had advised the Board of Selectmen to file the litigation, now have expressed concerns about the coalition's ability to win the lawsuit and its costs. Several town Selectmen advocated remaining in the coalition until the end of the fiscal year at the end of June and then reassessing how to proceed.

Development of the plan was required by Executive Order 13419 issued in December 2006. The plan is the product of deliberations over the past year by the National Science and Technology Council's Aeronautics Science and Technology Subcoinmittee, co-chaired by the O�ce of Science and Technology Policy aud the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. The aeronautics R&D goals were developed through a consensus process that included representatives of the departments of Commerce, Defense, Energy, Homeland Security, State, and Transportation, as well as the Federal Aviation Administration, the National Science Foundation, and the Envirpnmental Protec- tion Agency. The R&D plan sets specific targets in terms of noise and emissions reductions for aircraft in the near term (less than five years), mid-term (5-10 years), and far term (over 10 years). These goals are expected to be met through a combination of (Continued on p. 6) .l)OT �'olicy PETlEI2S ANNO�TNCES NEW DOT POI,ICit TO REDiTCE CONGEST�ON, AD�D CAPACITY Congested airports nationwide would be given the flexibility of basing aircraft landing fees on time of day and iraffic volume rather than using the decades-old policy of basing landing fees on aircraft weight under a new policy announced by Transportation Secretary Mary E. Peters on Jan. 14. The proposed policy is intended to make it easier for overcrowded airports to add capacity and reduce delays by encouraging airlines to spread their flights more evenly throughout the day and to use larger aircraft during congested hours. DOT is giving the public until March 3 to comment on its proposed policy, which would amend the 1996 DOT Rates and Charges Policy. Basing landing fees on times of day and traffic volume would enable congested airports to spread tra�c more evenly throughout the day, thus allowing them to serve more passengers, reduce delays, and help avoid the need for sustained federal government intervention, Peters said. The changes DOT is proposing to its Rates and Charges Policy also would allow airport operators to include the cost of projects designed to expand capacity in the new landing fees. T'his would help airports avoid steep finance fees, Peters said. (Continued on p. 6) IfZ .7'IZiS ISS�L'... Research ...

In terms of noise reduction, tlie plan calls for aircraft to be a cumulative 32 dB quieter than Stage 4 aircraft noise certi�cations standards within five years; to be a cumulative 42 dB below Stage 4 standards within 5-10 years; and to be a cumulative 62 dB below Stage 4 standards within 25 years. The plan states, "The interplay between noise and emissions must be better understood to inform regional or local regulatory requirements, including regulations regarding supersonic aircraft. The objective is to cost efFectively limit or reduce potential environmental health and welfare impacts of aircraft noise and emissions, while eliminating uncertainties that could lead to misdirected or poorly targeted regulations. Enabling new technologies, procedures, and improvements to aircraft and air traffic management to reduce the noise and local and global emissions of the aviation sector is also crucial. Solutions that minimize the trade-offs between various environmental factors and result in simultaneous reductions in noise and local and global emissions are most ariractive." Technology Gains "Will Be Challenging" The authors of the aeronautics R&D plan noted that aircraft noise raduction has been driven historically by the introduction of new technologies. "Further technology gains resulting in noise reduction will be challenging, but both the Quiet Aircraft Technology program, sponsored by NASA and the FAA, and the Silent Aircraft Initiative, led by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Cambridge University, have laid the technological foundation for further gains." The National Plan for Aeronautics Research and Develop- ment and Related Infrastructure is available on the web site of the Joint Planning and Development office at www.jpdo.gov. DOT Policy, from p. S Currently, aixports can only include such costs after the projects have been completed. She said the new policy also would allow airport propri- etors, such as the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey (PANYNJ), that operate multiple airport systems, to distribute landing fee revenue among its different airports. For example, she said, landing fees collected at LaGuardia, Newark, or 7FK airports, could be used to fund improve- ments at Stewart auport, where the Port Authority seeks to increase operations. The proposed policy changes mean that more travelers may soon be able to take advantage of under-used airports, which would relieve pressure on more congested airports. In terms of noise impact, the proposed policy change could push operations at congested airports into the evening and night hours or early morning hours where it is likely to be more annoying. Reaction to New Policy The PANYNJ lauded DOT for focusing on the issue of delay but said the "small steps" proposed by DOT "don't address the fundamental problem when dramatic action is needed." The Port Authority said "the right solurion" is to expand capacity "through 2151 century technologies working with the airlines on more rarional schednles and better customer service." The Air Transport Association also was not impressed with the DOT's proposed policy. ATA said it had not had time to fully review the policy but called it "nothing more than congesrion pricing disguised as an airport fee." "Unfortunately," ATA said, "that does nothing to fix the prirnary cause of delays — our nation's increasingly anti- quated air iraffic control system." The trade group also contended that additional fees will increase the cost of flying for the consumer. "We believe that would be most unfortunate and we will be considering our options." The Airports Council International — North America (ACI- NA), however, praised the new DOT policy for acknowledg- ing that airport proprietors "are in the best position to manage the use of the facilities they planned, financed, built, and currently operate."

The debate will open the conference, tl�e theme of which is "Flying Green." Those arguing in the affirmative represent the Air Trans- port Association, Los Angeles International Airport, and the Aerospace Industries Association. Those arguing against the proposition represent the ( National Organization to Insure a Sound-controlled Environ- \. ment (NOISE), the Clean Airport Parmership, and the Airport Noise Report I � January 11, 2008 International Council on Clean Transportation. Sessions of the symposium on aircraft noise will focus on results of Airport Cooperative Research Program projects, land use compatibility case studies, the NextGen air iraffic system, noise beyond 65 DNL, noise monitoring and modeling,.a view from the future, experiences with flight procedures, and the sound management of flight tracking. Prior to the symposium, four concurrent tutorial sessions will be held on aircraft noise�and emissions issues for newcomers to the fields, on air quality monitoring, and on funding noise prograrus. Professor John Kasarda of the University of North Carlolina will give the keynote address on his book "Aerotropolis." The symposium also will include a forum for those representing noise-impacted communities to allow them to share information.

Airlines � ' il ' '� �' '� - � ;�: . i -� .• `► - - � � -�- - '•; Northwest Airlines recently announced its EarthCares progratn as part of its commitment to protecting the environ- ment and reduce its carbon footprint. The Nature Conser- vancy is a founding partner in ihe program. Under the program, Northwest will make a$1 million payment to The Nature Conservancy, in equal payments over the next three years, to protect forest land in the Mississippi River Valley from future development and to sequester and store carbon. The airline said that the new EarthCares program builds on many environmental initiatives it has already taken, such as its $6 billion fleet modernization program, which has reduced its carbon emissions by 25 percent since the year 2000. Northwest said that, as the operator of the largest fleet of Airbus A330s in the world, it "has the distinction of operat- ing the youngest international fleet of any major interna- tional carrier, as well as the youngest trans-Atlantic fleet of any North American or European carrier." The airline said the average age of its wide-body fleet is about four years. But what Northwest does not note in its announcement is that it also operates some of the oldest planes in the U.S. airline fleet. Idorthwest is the only U.S. registered airline in t}�e conti- nental United States still operating hushkitted Stage 3 aircraft in scheduled passenger service. As of Sept. 30, 2007, Northwest was operating 103 DC-9 aircraft, which were originally delivered in the 1960s and 1970s and are powered by Pratt & Whitney JT8D low bypass ratio engines. How- ever, Northwest retired 69 of its DC-9 fleet between 2000 and 2007. Northwest has reduced fuel burn by retiring DC-10 aircraft and replacing them with A330s. The airline also has retired � its 727 aircraft and operates A320s and A319s. In addition to the Mississippi Rive'r Valley conservation program, Northwest and The Nature Conservancy will focus on tl�ree other sirategic conservation projects around Northwest's domestic hubs, as well as a landmark program in China's first national park, which will serve as a model for a new Chinese national park system. The three U.S. projects are aimed at preserving forest land in Minnesota, Michigan's Upper Peninsula, and Tennessee's Cumberland Plateau. Northwest has domestic hubs in Minneapolis-St. Paul, MN; Detroit, MI; and Memphis, TN. National Parks '' �i � �i ii � �: ,�i �, . � ;� � .

The guidance was developed by Wyle Laboratories under a contract with the Navy that began in 2004. Wyle submitted its final report on the use of supplemental metrics to the Defense Noise Working Group (DNWG) the week of Jan. 14 and now that group is in the process of dev�loping a position statement that will be subrnitted to a DOD undersecretary for approval within the nexk few months, according to Alan Zusman, who serves on the Naval Facilities Engineering Command and managed the project. He said that DNWG also will make a presentation to FICAN, possibly as early as March, on the report and its position statement. The DOD position statement will identify the key supplemental noise metrics that are the most useful in helping the-public understand aircraft noise impact and will specify which supplemental metrics are the best to use in various situations, (Continued on p. 10) Research DESIGl�T O� �IaI'I'IS:EI �T�Y S�Ii)VV�TG �TC�+ ASE+ I� ��1�tOX�NC�+ CALI,ED �IAS�+ .D The "dramatic" fmdings of a major British study of aircraft noise annoyance — that people were more annoyed by aircraft noise in 2005 than they were in 1982 and that averaged noise metrics do not adequately account for increases in the numbers of aircraft operations — are invalid because they mostly derive from biased data, a British acoustician asserted in a recent paper that has the support of acousticians in the United States and Europe. Peter Brooker, a Visiting Professor at Cranfield University who works for the aviation consulting firm Helios Technology Ltd., said the British Department of Transport (DfT) was wise to commission the peer review of the report, which was very critical of its fmdings, and to publish the report rather than be accused of a "cover up." The DfT issued the report, based on a survey of almost 2,733 households around 16 airports in England, with little comment and may have to issue stronger public comments about the "severe problems" of the ANASE work, Brooker told AIVR. The report was issued last November (19 ANR 179), just after the DfT an- nounced that it planned to add a new runway at Heathrow Airport, and was done (Continued on p. 10) IiZ 7"IZiS .ISSIIe. e .

The DOD position statement will not establish criteria and thresholds for significant noise exposure in terms of supplement noise metrics. Such criteria were not the goal of the project work and will require long and difficult study, he said. The goal of the Navy's work with Wyle was to provide ways to augment the standard DNL noise analysis in which noise impact is only stated in terms of average noise levels. The use of supplemental metrics will provide the public with more specific informarion, such as how many times aircraft overfly their homes, he said. The Navy wants the military services to communicate more clearly with the public in discussing the effects of noise on people at various noise exposure levels. The Navy is not seeking to replace DNL but to describe aircraft noise exposure with metrics that the average citizen can more easily understand. The Wyle report examined the universe of existing supplemental noise metrics in use at both military and civilian airports and looked at trailblazing work on supple- mental noise metrics being done by the Australians. The DOD position statement on the use of supplementai metrics wil] be welcomed by airports under increasing pressure to use them. The Federal Aviation Administration has issued no such similar position statement. However, without significance criteria, airports are left on their own in terms of deciding how to use supplemental noise metric data in environmental studies. The Port of Oakland, for instance, was ordered by a court several years ago to supplement an environmental analysis with data nighttime noise impacts. It chose not to set an arbitrary significance criteria for sleep disturbance because of a lack of guidance from FICAN and a paucity of research findings. But, despite that omission, the additional information on nighttime noise impact was well-received by the public, Port o�cials said. Research, from p. 9 to update an earlier 1982 study, on which British aircraft noise policy is based. However, DfT is not using the findings of the updated study, called "Attitudes to Noise from Aviation Sources in England," or ANASE, in its current consultation on the third runway at Heathrow. That led HACAN C1earSkies, a organization that repre- sents residents in the London area opposed to the expan- sion of Heathrow, to call the fmdings of the ANASE report "an inconvenient truth" for the DfT. "Critics of the new runway accused the DfT of running away from the findings of its own study because it has found that aircraft noise causes much more annoyance than the Government or the aviation indusiry has previously admitted. The Govemment has consistently maintained that aircraft noise only starts to annoy people when it averages 10 out at 57 dB. But the new study suggests that significant annoyance starts at around 50 decibels. That is consistent with the findings of the World Health Organization," HACAN said in a news release. The ANASE study concluded that the noise metric used by the British Government, LAeq (which, like DNL, averages noise exposure) may not be the best metric to predict future levels of a�noyance. That raised questions regarding whether the United States should continue to rely on DNL as its aircraft noise metric. The ANASE study said that a Noise and Number Index-type measure appears to offer a stronger basis for estimated future levels of annoyance in response to increasing numbers of aircraft operations. HACAN ClearSkies said the ANASE study "found that the existing method of ineasuring aircraft noise, adopted a quarter of a century ago, is too narrow and outdated. It faiis to take account of the huge growth in the number of flights. While individual aircraft have become quieter, the number of flights at Heathrow has grown from 273,000 in 1982 to 477,000 [in2006]." "For the Government this new study is an inconvient truth. It gets in the way of their expansion plans. But, instead of running away from it, it needs to face up to the stark reality that millions of people's lives are being blighted by aircraft noise ... For over 10 years now local people in areas more than 15 miles from the airport have been complaining about aircraft noise problems. This study shows that they have not been imagining it." 1Vloney Wasted �� C But Brooker said of the reported $3 million spent on the ANASE study, `Very said to see money wasted like this." He provides a detailed criticism of the study in his paper, "ANASE: Unreliabie — Due to Design-Induced Biases," published in the December 2007 issue of Acoustics Bulletin. "There are unrepairable major problems with questionnaire design and process, noise estimates, analysis techniques, and selective attempts to compare with international work," wrote Brooker. In addition to the peer review of ANASE, the DfT paid two acoustics experts to review the draft ANASE study, Brooker said. They concluded that "there were sufficient technical and methodological uncertainties still remaining with the study to mean that reliance on the detailed outcome of ANASE would be misplaced." The conclusion bolstered the opinion of the peer review group that the study was critically flawed but the DfT did not refer to these conclusions in its publicity material about ANASE," Brookernoted. From 2001-2005, Brooker served as the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) Professor of Air Traffic Management and Environmental Policy at Cranfield. Prior to that, he held a number of posts in the CAA, including Chief Scientist of the �'' National Air Traffic Services and CAA planning director. He was project director of many DfT-funded research studies Airport Noise Report i � January 25, 2008 11 and has testified on aircraft noise at public hearings on various airport projects. Reagan �Vatianal Airport . . . � � . � � � � ,•,� •'. � �. On Jan. 22, the Federal Aviation Admi.nistration an- nounced its approval of most of the update to the Part 150 AirportNoise Compatibility Program forRonaldReagan Washington National Airport. However, because the airport has no incompatible land uses within its 65 dB DNL contour, the FAA rejected several proposed Part 150 program measures that would have addressed noise impact beyond that contour. The proposed Part 150 program update includes 14 measures. The FAA granted oulright approval of the following lOmeasures: • Revise language in the Airport Facility Directory to reflect the current noise abatement procedures at the airport; � Request a voluntary phase-out of hushkitted Stage 3 aircraft [that is already in effect]; • Establish a system to report airline compliance with noise abatement measures; • Enhance the noise complaint system; • Amend comprehensive plans and zoning maps to promote compatible land uses; � Encourage airport noise overlay zoning; • Amend building codes to require soundproofing; � Disclose noise levels prior to contract for sale or lease; • Expand airport noise information program and; • Encourage local jurisdiciions to adopt discretionary project review guidelines for subdivision, rezoning, special use, conditional use, and variance applications. lYejecied 1VIe�sures FA.A rejected four proposed measures for purposes of the Part 150 program noting that the airport has no incompatible land uses within the 65 DNL contour and that the airport has not selected land use compatibility planning guidelines that differ from those established in the Part 150 program, which set the threshold of residential compatibility a the 65 DNL contour line. But FAA siressed that its disapproval of the four program measures for purposes of the Part 150 program does not prohibit the airport from implementing those measures, and, indeed, the airport is moving to implement them. The following four measures were rejected: • Form a working goup to develop advanced navigation procedures for arrivals and depariures on all runways; • Encourage air traffic controllers to direct flights during nighttime hours, when tra�c permits, to distribute the locations at which aircraft turn onto and off of the route along the center of the Potomac River over the areas between five and 10 miles south of the airport; • Encourage similar air traffic distribution procedures during daytime hours; • Update the aiuport's noise monitoring and flight tracking system. Neal Phillips, noise officer for National, said that the airport plans to implement all of the rejected measures. It is in the process up updating its noise monitoring system without federal funding. Some $2 million of airport funding already has been spent in the process of iransitioning from an older Lochard system to Era's web-based AirScene.com. In addition, although no fozmal working group will be set to develop advanced arrival and deparhare procedures, that issue is being addressed with chief pilots in another forum, Phillips said. He said he also expects by August to get FAA approval of procedures designed to keep aircraft more precisely over the Potomac River noise abatement corridor.

PFCs Approved for Noise 1Viitigation On Jan. 22, the FAA announced its approval of the use of Passenger Facility Charges (PFCs) at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport and Love Field for projects that include noise mitigation components. FAA approved an application to impose and use a$4.50 PFC at Hartsfield from Jan. l, 2020, to Apri11, 2020, for a total PFC revenue of $38.05 million for various projects including land acquisition for noise compatibility. For further information, contact Aimee McCormick in FA.A's Atlanta Airports District Office; tel: (404) 305-7143. Also approved by the FAA was an application by the City of Dallas to impose and use a$3 PFC from Feb. 1, 2008, to Oci. 1, 2011, for a total PFC revenue of $38.9 million for various projects at Love Field, including unspecified noise mitigation.

Northwest Downsizing DC-9 Fleet Northwest Airlines told its pilots in a Jan. 17 memo that it plans to cut 24 aircraft from its fleet of 103 older, noisier, fuel- guzzling DC-9 aircraft by the end of 2008, with most aircraft being grounded after the peak summer travel season.

Vigilante President, $ynergy Consuitants Seattle Tulsa Sonnd Insulation Contract On Jan. 17, the Tulsa Airports Improvement Trust approved a$1.32 million contract with Superior Insulation Inc. to sound insulate 49 homes in neigh- borhoods south of Tulsa International Airport. The airport is in the ninth year of its $60 million sound insulation program, which will include 1,700 properties near the airport. As ofDec. l, 2007, the Airports Trust has spent $40 million to insulate 810 homes, acquire avigarion easements for 68 homes, provide sales assistance for 51 property owners, and acquire and demolish five properties. Residents Layman Van Acres, a 500-home community southwest of the airport's main runway, have asked the airport to buy out their homes because of increased noise impact from increasing operations at the airport, a growing cargo hub. Airport Director Jeff Mulder said the airport board will hire a consultarit this year to update the airport's Part 150 noise mitigation program study to address the homeowners's request. He said the airport plans to pay for the Part 150 update out of its own pocket, rather than apply forFAA funding, so that sound insulation program funding will not be interrupted. Action �Trged on New FAA Adman�strator Transportation Secretary Mary Peters called on Congress this week to act on the nornination of FAA Acting Administrator Robert Sturgell to head the agency. Herplea was joined by fellow Republican Rep. John Mica (R.-FL), 12anking Member of the House Transportation and Infrasiructurs Comrnittee. President Bush nominated Sturgell October 2007 to replace former FAA Administrator Marion Blakey; however the Senate has yet to hold a confirma- tion hearing. "It's shameless that the Senate would put politics over safety by blocking even recess appointments, leaving the FAA without permanent leadership at such a critical juncture," Mica said. Last month, Rep. Joseph Sestak (D-PA), Rob Andrews (D-N�, and Sen. Robert Menendez (D-N� said they are trying to pressure the FAA to delay further implementation ofthe controversial NY-NJ-PHI, airspace redesign plan until the Government Accountability Office completed a study of the project inearly suiruner. Menendez threatened to place a hold on Sturgell's nomination if the FAA does not agree to impose a moratorium on implementing the airspace redesign plan. AIRPORT NOISE REPORT Anne H.
