F. Long Term Comprehensive Plan
G. Feedback from Eagan Meeting
Unfinished and New Business
A. Survey Ideas
Chair Petschel brought up the issue of a survey similar to the realtor survey done by Eagan.
Commissioners discussed the idea of using educational institutions helping with a survey.
In addition the broader topic of a city survey on multiple topics was discussed.
Commission Meeting—January 13, 2009
Mendota Heights Airport Relations Commission
Possible options for conducting the survey including web sites and the city newsletter.
Potential topics including types of noise impact and impacts on different locations in
Mendota Heights were reviewed. A number of other related issues including city council
approval were discussed. City staff will perform some initial research and bring the issue
of a city survey to the city council at their goal setting session in February for their input.
Eagan NOC
Chair Petschel looked for feedback from the last meeting with the Eagan N.O.C.
Cormnissioner Dunn thought it was a good meeting and thought an annual meeting was
appropriate. Commissioner Lorberbaum commented on the difference in operations
between the two groups.
B. Runway Usage
The November numbers were reviewed. Commissioners noticed a significant change in
night time operations with a reversal of percentages from 12L to 12R compared to 2008.
City representatives had discussions with MAC and Eagan about Mendota Heights
continued stress on the importance of equitable distribution of night time flights. The
possibility of runway construction was reviewed as a possible reason for the reversal.
C. Review of NOC Letter
Chair Petschel reviewed the questions sent to the Noise Oversight Committee. The
questions posed were reviewed by Minneapolis and the answers should be provided at the
January 2010 NOC Meeting.
D. Updates for Introduction Book
Acknowledged.
E. Long Term Comprehensive Plan
Chair Petschel brought up the MAC Long Term Comprehensive Plan (LTCP). She
discussed the driving force behind the plan including the influence of Delta and Southwest
at the airport. Commissioner Hennessy shared his insight into the Delta/Northwest merger,
operation methods and the value of the MSP Airport. The fleet mix discussion took place
similar to previous meetings.
The city's concern continues to be the possibility of a third parallel runway. The LTCP
will be discussed at the next NOC meeting and there may be a request for action on the
plan. Similar to neighboring communities, Mendota Heights has had a presentation on the
LTCP, but taken no formal action. There was consensus among the group that the city
needs to articulate our ongoing opposition to a third parallel runway. ARC members will
continue to monitor this issue.

Minneapolis, MN 55450-2799
Dear Chad:
C

Mendota Heiqhts
As requested at the November 18 MAC Noise Oversight Committee Meeting, we have summarized
Mendota Heights Questions regarding nighttime use of the parallel runways. They are as follows:
1. In 2002, 42 additional gates were added to the north concourse; 12R/30L remained a favored
runway in 2003. No shift in runway use occurred at that time, why is it occurring now?
2. Between 2001 and 2009 there have been many ups and downs in the number of airport operations
including nighttime operations. Despite that, there was a very good balance in night-time
operations prior to 17/35. Why has that changed?
3. In 2004, when the airport saw in excess of 540,000 operations, the use of the south parallel was still
greater than the north parallel. Why in light of a 17% decrease in operations, including night-time
operations, would the FAA not have greater flexibility to achieve a better balance in the night-time
use of the parallels?
4. If no change is going to occur until the airport 1) expands gates at Humphrey and on the south
concourse; 2)reaches 575,000 operations annually; or 3) constructs the crossover taxiway, does that
mean that the communities at the end of 12L and 30R have to wait 6-20 years to get relief from the
current distribution of nighttime noise?
5. Is the greater use of the north parallel more related to reduced taxi distance to/from gates, and
therefore fuel cost savings, than it is to numbers of operations?
6. Why does the number of operations matter in relation to take-offs/landings in light of the
statement: "With the reduced levels of traffic, controllers have more opportunities to expedite the
traffic flow."? Wouldn't this give them greater flexibility to assign runways? (Quote taken from
October 15, 2009 letter from Carl Rydeen to NOC Co -Chairs.)
7. If according to RUS policy there is to be no preference shown for the use of either parallel over the
other, why is a clear preference being shown for using the north parallel for departures and the
south parallel for landings?
If the FEIS and RUS are not currently adhered to, what assurance do we have that today's
standard procedure does not become standard operating procedure in perpetuity?
8. How do the current runway use percentages match -up with those estimated under the FEIS for
runway 17-35? What relief is or will be provided now that 17/35 is fully operational and it's impact
on the Airport is more fully understood.

9. Flights were routinely being taxied to runway 17 at night in 2007. Why couldn't they also be taxied
the much shorter distance to 12R?
10. Please provide a comparison of the nighttime RUS today versus nighttime RUS in the 1990's and
early 2000's (prior to opening 17/35).
11. How often at nighttime is crossing in the corridor used vs. the number of hours that it could
potentially be used (with a single controller)?
Thank you Chad for your continuing assistance in this matter.
Sincerely,
Ultan

February 16, 2010
Jenn Felger
6040 28t' Avenue South
Minneapolis, MN 55450
Dear Ms. Felger:
Thank you for the chance to review and comment on the Draft MSP 2030 Long Term
Comprehensive Plan (LTCP). The City of Mendota Heights recognizes MSP as a significant
contributor to the economic viability of the Minneapolis/St. Paul metropolitan area. As a
community adjacent to the airport, we support these planning efforts as a means for us to better
oversee land use and development within our own borders.
The City of Mendota Heights has the following comments regarding the Draft LTCP:
Planning for Capacity:
The LTCP forecasts operations up to 98.5% of estimated airfield capacity. Airport planning
guidelines suggest that planning for an additional runway or supplemental airport should occur
1) when an airport reaches 60-75% of capacity. The City of Mendota Heights requests that the
LTCP include some framework for what the ongoing process for capacity planning would look
like.
The City of Mendota Heights questions investing up to $2.4 Billion (on top of $3 Billion
invested in the 2010 program) as the best use of resources. At best, the outcome can only be an
airport functioning at full capacity with no plan or vision to address the congestion this will
create.
Noise Contours:
The City of Mendota Heights is in compliance with recommendations for local government
found in Chapter 6: Land Use Compatibility. The City relies upon accurate noise contour
information to make land use decisions.
The noise contour presented at the January 20, 2010 Noise Oversight Committee meeting shows
significant changes from the current noise contour. We regret the fact that this contour was not
presented at the MAC presentation to our City Council. The City of Mendota Heights
encourages the regular and accurate review of the noise contours.
Regional Impact:
The LTCP does not address regional impacts upon infrastructure. The plan forecasts increases in
airport usage, but makes no mention of traffic volumes for roadways in and out of the airport.
( 1
s
The City of Mendota Heights requests that current and forecasted traffic volumes Ib'V
be included in the plan. f
Third Parallel Runway:
The City of Mendota Heights would like to take this opportunity to raise our strong opposition to
any consideration of a third parallel runway at MSP Airport. Our community has been guided
and developed around the current configuration of the airport. A third parallel runway would be
in direct conflict to the long held and well established vision of this community.
Thank you for your consideration of this matter, please contact David McKnight, City
Administrator at (651) 452-1850 with questions you may have.
Sincerely,
John Huber
Mayor

A weekly update on litigation, regulations, and technological developments
Volume 22, Number 1 January 22, 2010
On Jan. 16, the Transportation Research Board (TRB) issued a 164 -page guide-
book on how best to improve communications with the public about issues related
to aircraft noise exposure.
The guidebook, entitled "Aircraft Noise: A Toolkit for Managing Community
Expectations," was developed under the Airport Cooperative Research Program
(ACRD), which the TRS manages for the Federal Aviation Administration.
"A basic change required of many airport managers, before public involvement
can fully succeed, is one of culture. The culture must shift from an attitude of focus
on information delivery (one-way communication) to focus on an engagement rela-
tionship (two-way connnunication). Until this problem is solved, further techniques
and strategies are likely to fail," the guidebook stresses.
Michael R. Salamone, a TRB staff officer, explained in a Forward to the guide-
book that it "should be of interest to airport managers and other staff from airports
of all sizes who are responsible for responding to neighboring communities regard-
ing aircraft noise issues. It provides guidance on how best to improve communica-

SUPREME COURT DECLINES TO HEAR APPEAL
OF RULING UPHOLDING AIRSPACE REDESIGN
The U.S. Supreme Court on Jan. 19 declined to hear an appeal of a decision up-
holding the Federal Aviation Administration's controversial redesign of the airspace
in the New York, New Jersey/Philadelphia region.
"I am deeply disappointed that the Supreme Court has declined to review this
case, permitting the FAA's failure to follow its own rules and procedures in imple-
menting new potentially damaging flight paths," Connecticut Attorney General
Richard Blumenthal, said in a prepared statement.
"The U.S. Supreme Court is allowing the FAA to fly above the law, unchecked
and unfairly routing more large planes over southwestern Connecticut without con-
sidering public input or environmental damage to the region.
"We will continue to fight the FAA flight plan in the political forum, if not in
the courtroom.
"These new flight paths are based on defective data concerning noise and traffic
— dismissing less damaging alternatives and disregarding the impact on millions of
residents in the region.

tions with the public about issues related to aircraft noise ex-
posure.
"Specifically, the guidebook presents best practices that
characterize an effective communications program and pro-
vides basic information about noise and its abatement to as-
sist in responding to public inquiries. It also suggests tools
useful to initiate a new or upgrade an existing program of
communication with public and private stakeholders about
noise issues.
"An accompanying CD-ROM contains a toolkit with ex-
amples of material that has been successfully used to commu-
nicate information about noise, as well as numerous guidance
documents about noise and communications that have seldom
been brought together in the same resource."
The guidebook notes that the intended audience is man-
agers of all sizes of airports:
For small airports staffed perhaps only by the airport
manager, it provides ideas to consider and basic direction for
a communications approach that can be successful immedi-
ately and also evolve as the airport grows;
For medium-sized airports, there is not only basic direc-
tion but also suggestions on staffing and basic communica-
tion techniques;
For large airports, there are ideas for refinement of the
basic approach, as well. as ideas for improving techniques or
strategies that may already be in place.
Nine Chapters
For every airport, the first three chapters provide the fun-
damentals of
• What techniques are identified as the best practices in
airport communication,
• Why building a relationship with the public can be ben-
eficial. to the airport as well as the public, and
• What outcomes an airport should expect if it does build
a good relationship with the surrounding community.
Airports of different sizes can then explore the later chap-
ters:
• Chapter 4 presents the strategies and techniques that are
most appropriate to their size of airport;
• Chapter 5 reviews applicable literature and provides
case studies of several airports and an university, each of
which has encountered difficulties in communications with
surrounding neighborhoods and has sought to change their
approach to that interaction;
• Chapter 6 provides background material to the airport
manager not thoroughly versed in the complexities of noise
issues to better enable him to respond to public questioning;
• Chapters 7 through 9 describe approaches to the abate-
ment mitigation and description of noise in terms useful to
lay communications.
The printed document concludes with a list of the refer-
ence material cited throughout the chapters. The accompany-
ing Toolkit includes many examples of material that has been
2
successfully used to communicate information about noise, as
well as numerous guidance documents about noise and com-
munications that have seldom been bought together in the
same resource. Appendix A, included in the Toolkit, is an an-
notated bibliography of the many documents, websites, and
regulatory guidance used in the development of the report.

Research
A project to provide airports with a comprehensive tool
for identifying potential sources of finding for airport envi-
ronmental projects is one of the nine "synthesis" projects that
will be conducted in 2010 under the Airport Cooperative Re-
search Program (ACRP).
The project is ACRP Synthesis 11-03/Topic 502-05,
"Funding Opportunities for Airport Environmental Projects."
"The objective of this synthesis project is to provide air-
port operators and users with a comprehensive tool for identi-
fying potential sources of finding for airport environmental
projects," the project scope explains.
"The research for this project will include a review of fed-
eral and state funding opportunities for environmental proj-
ects including airport environmental projects and other
environmental projects associated with transportation or other
closely related industries. Any airport experience with each
program will be identified. The resulting product should also
provide a table of grant proposal specifics and web resources
for each program identified."
The ACRP synthesis of airport practice series is a popular
and widely -distributed reporting program that searches out
and synthesizes useful knowledge specific topics to the avia-
tion community.

In November 2009, the State of Connecticut and several
counties and environmental groups filed two separate peti-
tions to review a decision by the U.S. Court of Appeals for
the District of Columbia Circuit upholding the FAA airspace
redesign.
A three-judge panel of the D.C. Circuit ruled on June 10,
2009, in County of Rockland, NY v FAA, that FAA's environ-
mental impact analysis of the airspace redesign project "was
procedurally sound and substantively reasonable" (21 ANR
66).
That lawsuit consolidated a dozen separate lawsuits that
had been field by the State of Connecticut; Rockland County,
NY; Fairfield County, CT; Delaware County, PA; the City of
Elizabeth, NJ: a coalition of towns mainly in Connecticut;
and the New Jersey Coalition Against Aircraft Noise.
The D.C. Circuit denied a request by the plaintiffs for a
review of the panel's decision. The decision was then ap-
pealed to the High Court.
Paine Field
OPPOSITION TO COMMERCIAL
FLIGHTS VOICED AT HEARING
Most of thepeople attending a Jan. 4 public hearing on
the potential impact of allowing commercial flights at Paine
Field, located south of Everett, WA, expressed concerns that
it would result in increased noise and traffic and declining
home values, the Everett Daily Herald reported.
The paper reported that several times officials at the hear-
ing had to remind the crowd not to heckle people who sup-
ported commercial service at the airport, which is owned by
Snohomish County, WA.
FAA held hearings on Jan. 4 and 5 to accept public com-
ments on the draft environmental assessment released in De-
cember 2009 of proposals by Horizon Air and Allegiant Air
to begin scheduled flights at the airport. Horizon plans to fly
four times a day to Portland, OR, and twice a day to Spokane,
WA, using 75 -seat Bombardier Q400 turboprop aircraft. Alle-
giant Air of Las Vegas plans to fly twice a week to Las Vegas
using 150 -seat MD83 jets. The County proposed to build a
new $3 million terminal with two boarding gates to accom-
modate passengers plus additional parking.
The FAA announced that it will hold a third public hear-
ing on the draft EA on Jan. 21 and will extend the deadline
for submitting public comments from Jan. 15 to Feb. 5.
The draft EA, available at www.painefield.com/airser-
viccea.html, concluded that the cormnercial service would re-
sult in no significant environmental impact or safety
problems.
"Implementation of the Preferred Alternative would result
in a slight increase in the size and location of the noise con-
tours at the Snohomish County Airport/Paine Field. In the
first year of commercial service operations (2010), the change
in the noise contours compared to the No Action Alternative
would be approximately 4.0 acres larger. By 2016, the change
in the noise contours compared to the No Action Alternative
would be approximately 17.0 acres larger. Neither the 2010
nor the 2016 65 DNL contours will encompass any resi-
dences, persons, or other noise sensitive land uses or areas,"
the draft EA said.
Air quality impacts were found in the draft EA to be de
minimis.
But the Daily Herald reported that many who testified at
the Jan. 4 public hearing "expressed concern that the draft ex-
amined relatively limited service from two carriers. They
worried that actual service could be far greater since federal
law does not allow the county to turn away other commercial
carriers or even specify the types of planes or hours of opera-
tion."
The cities of Mukilteo, Edmonds, Lynnwood, Mountlake
Terrace, and Woodway, WA, have approved resolutions op-
posing passenger traffic at Paine Field, according to the paper.

Health Effects, from p.5
The study also found a higher incidence of depression
among women who live under the flight path for Cologne
Bonn Airport.
The study was conducted by Eberhard Greiser, an emeri-
tus professor of epidemiology at Bremen University.
In a separate study commissioned by Bonn authorities,
Greiser found that women near the airport had an increased
risk of developing breast cancer and leukemia, Time reported.
Greiser's study found that women exposed to 60 dB of jet
noise at night were twice as likely to contract breast cancer.
In the study commissioned by the German Environment
Agency, Greiser analyzed data from health insurers for more
than one million Gennans aged 40 and older who live in the
City of Cologne and two counties adjacent to the airport.
The study sample represents 55 percent of the population
in the region, Greiser told ANR, and is the largest database
worldwide ever compiled to analyze the problem of health ef-
fects due to aircraft noise.
Greiser said he relied only on hospital discharge diag-
noses and calculated noise exposure from data on aircraft
movements for a whole year to determine dataand time of
aircraft overflights, aircraft flight paths, aircraft class, and
noise level.
Using those data, he was able to calculate the dispersion
of noise over the region with a complicated algorithm that is
used in Germany for plotting noise maps.
Socio -Economic Factors Addressed
Greiser said that data on how many people were on wel-
fare in each neighborhood of the study allowed him to control
for socio-economic factors and for smoking, drinking, and
obesity, which can cause cardiovascular disease.
Social class is one of strongest indicators of nearly all dis-
eases, he said, and smoking, drinking, and obesity are linked
to social class. It would have been a major deficit in his study
had he not included some indicator of social class, Greiser
said, adding he is very confident there is no bias in the study.
Greiser said that it could be argued that there were other
factors that he did not control for but he questioned whether
the impact on those factors would have been confined to the
flight path areas.
Asked if the cardiovascular disease findings could have
been caused by aircraft emissions rather than noise, he said
the dispersion path for aircraft emissions would look different
from that for aircraft noise.
He came up with two possible reasons for the gender dif-
ference found in his study: (1) women are more sensitive to
noise than men; and (2) the percentage of women in Germany
employed is smaller than men so housewives are probably
exposed during both day and night to aircraft noise whereas
there husbands are only exposed during the night hours.
Greiser said his study findings show that aircraft noise
has a serious impact on cardiovascular health and officials
must consider that when planning airport expansions.
Co
His findings have prompted calls for hien to conduct simi-
lar studies around Frankfurt Airport, where expansion plans
are controversial, and around the new international airport
being built in Berlin.
"Ask me in three months if I will do follow-on studies,"
held told ANR.
Greiser said he would forward his studies to ANR but
they did not arrive by deadline.
According to a U.S. Government Accountability Office
(GAO) report released Jan. 26, the national airspace system
will face serious congestion issues in the near future and the
Federal Aviation Administration is not doing enough to effec-
tively utilize regional airport planning to help address system
delays.
"In the past, I have pointed out that NextGen is not a sil-
ver bullet to our airspace capacity problems," said U.S. Rep.
John L. Mica (R -FL), Transportation and Infrastructure Com-
mittee Republican Leader, in reference to FAA s Next Gener-
ation Air Transportation System. "Increased demand will not
only require some additional infrastructure, but better man-
agement of existing capacity.
"According to the GAO, even if NextGen, airspace re-
design, and runway expansion efforts are implemented, 14 of
the nation's largest airports will face severe congestion by
2025. This is true despite the recent slowdown in air traffic
operations. Even with other aviation system improvements,
the GAO's fundings demonstrate that we also need better sys-
tem plarming to expand capacity in the near tern," Mica
said.
Mica and Aviation Subcommittee Ranking Member Tom
Petri (R -WI) requested the GAO study, "National Airspace
System: Regional Airport Planning Could Help Address Con-
gestion If Plans _Were Integrated with FAA and Airport Deci-
sion Making (GAO -10-120)." The report is available at
http://www.gao.gov/new.items/dl 0 120.pdf
Highlights are available at: http://w-,,w.gao.gov/high-
lights/dI 0 1 20high. p df
"We face major challenges when it comes to building air
travel capacity to meet anticipated demands in the years
ahead," said Rep. Petri. "Given our budgetary and other con-
straints, we are going to have to fully consider innovative ap-
proaclies in order to improve efficiency and make the most of
what we have and what we can. afford."
There are multiple types of airport and airport system
planning, from the national level down to the individual air-
port level. Some regions of the nation elect to develop re-
gional airport system plans to identify issues in those systems
and help integrate aviation with the region's other modes of
transportation.
Airport Noise Report
( r
January 29, 200 7
Although GAO found that this type of regional planning
can improve capacity, FAA's guidance on regional airport
system planning is only advisory and competing interests
often crowd out the potential benefits of these plans. For ex-
ample, individual airport planning tends to focus only within
each facility's perimeter fences, and the potential value of-
fered by metropolitan planning organizations — which fre-
quently develop regional airport plans — is often ignored
because MPO's have no authority over airport development.
The GAO report found that nine of fourteen airports fore-
cast to be congested are in regions with more than one large -
or medium -hub airport. Because significant expansion of ex-
isting airport infrastructure is unlikely, better planning and
use of existing facilities hold the best potential to unlock new
capacity within the national airspace system.
. In 2003, a Department of Transportation study affirmed
the value of regional planning, and the Airport Cooperative
Research Program research presented at Transportation Re-
search Board last summer suggests that embracing regional
airport planning can improve aviation system capacity.
Congestion and resulting delays in our system cause great
inconvenience to passengers, harmfully affect our environ-
ment, and impose high hidden costs on a struggling industry
and broader economy. In fact, according to the U.S. Senate
Joint Economic Committee, the total cost of domestic air traf-
fic delays to the U.S. economy has climbed as high as $41
billion.
"An efficient system of air transportation must effectively
fit within a larger national transportation strategy that best
serves the needs of the country," Mica added. "As the GAO
report notes, other modes of transportation, such as high-
speed rail, coupled with a regional airport system plan, could
offer new opportunities for enhanced mobility for our in-
creasingly congested nation and have a positive impact on the
economy."
GAO recommends that FAA use existing statutory author-
ity to give priority to funding airport projects that are consis-
tent with regional airport system planning, and that FAA
develop a review process for regional airport system plans to
ensure that they meet FAA standards and airport system plan-
ning guidance as well as provide technical support for re-
gional planners undertaking such planning.
NextGen, fNont. p. S
tently and will require sufficient resources to conduct.
The sheer volume of procedures that are contemplated in
the change to the NextGen air traffic system will exacerbate
technical challenges associated with environmental reviews,
she said.
Among these challenges are:
• New and more concentrated noise resulting more direct
routings and Area Navigation (RNAV) and Required Naviga-
tion Performance (RNP);
• Increased capacity (and impacts)- as a result of effi-
ciency gains;
Considering Greenhouse gases (GHGs) and emerging
policies — EPA regulations, possible imposition of cap -and -
trade by Congress, and international action — in addition to
"traditional" noise and air quality impacts;
• Figuring out how to geographically and temporally
group the environmental analyses of the expected operational
changes.
NEPA requires projects that are related in space and/or
time to be considered together for their cumulative impacts
on the environment and not segmented into multiple smaller
projects, Maurice explained.
"Environmental reviews will need to group together as
many related actions as foreseeable in order to evaluate their
cumulative environmental impacts as well as for efficiency of
analyses," the FAA officials said.
But she stressed the effectively grouping the expected
volume of operational and other NextGen changes "will be a
major challenge."
Maurice also said that large-scale, protracted NEPA as-
sessments could delay the start of other projects. She noted
that the Environmental Impact Statement for the New
York/New Jersey/Philadelphia airspace redesign project took
ten years to complete.
And she explained that additional NextGen activity taken
within a region where an environmental review has been
completed would require a re-evaluation of impacts or sup-
plemental analyses.
Maurice said that options for considering GHGs Within
NextGen are complex. The can be considered on a project -by -
project basis but that puts a burden on individual project man-
agers and may led to redundant and inconsistent efforts, she
said.
The other option is to conduct programmatic evalutions of
GHGs regionally or nationally but that would be "complex
and abstract," she said.
