AIRPORT RELATIONS COMMISSION MINUTES
February 11, 2009
The regular meeting of the Mendota Heights Airport Relations Commission was held on
Wednesday, February 11, 2009, at 7:08 p.m.; in the Council Chambers at City Hall, 1101
Victoria Curve, Mendota Heights, Minnesota.
The following Commissioners were present: Liz Petschel, Chair; Bill Dunn and Dave
Sloan, Commissioners
Also present were: Jake Sedlacek, Assistant to the City Administrator, and Mary Heintz,
Recorder
Not Present: Robin Ehrlich, Vice Chair; Joe Hennessy, Lyle Odland, Sally Lorberbaum,
Commissioners; and Jim Danielson, City Administrator
Chair Petschel reported that Vice Chair Ehrlich will chair the next meeting, as she will be
unable to attend.
Approval of Minutes
Chair Petschel requested the following corrections to the ARC meeting minutes of
January 14, 2009: page 5, first line, deleting the duplicated phrase "malting improved,"
and first line under "ANRC Letter" correcting the group to read "Rogers Lake East."
As a quorum was not obtained for a vote, the requested edits will be made and minutes
will stand ready for approval at the March ARC meeting.
Unfinished and New Business
A. Election of Officers
As a quorum was not obtained for a vote, action is delayed to the March ARC meeting.
B. 2009 Plan of Action Discussion
It was recommended by Chair Petschel, with attending commissioners agreeing, that the
Commission have an open discussion at the March ARC meeting on the goals for the
year, rather than referring to the current Plan of Action, in order to brainstorm and "think
off the paper." After brainstorming the goals and objectives. and how to meet them, ideas
can be compared to the Plan of Action and a determination made as to whether additions
should be considered.
Commission Meeting—February 11, 2009
Mendota Heights Airport Relations Commission
Chair Petschel would like to engage Sunfish Lake with the ARC, because they could be
allies in the effort for an equitable use of runways, and invite Mayor Molly Park, or her
representative, to an upcoming ARC meeting. It was Commission consensus that the
invitation should come from Mayor John Huber. The meeting will provide an
opportunity to lay things out on the table, address particular concerns about effects of
runway use, and perhaps start dialogue between Sunfish Lake and NOC representative
John Bergman. The Assistant to the City Administrator stated that he would aim for the
April meeting. Chair Petschel would like a pre -meeting with Mayor Park so she will be
up to date before attending the ARC meeting on how the NOC and ARC work together.
C. NOC Update
Former NWA Chief Pilot Tim Buetell was appointed by Delta to continue as pilot
representative to the NOC. Chair Petschel reported that she met Tom Fitzhenry,
Richfield representative, and Mary Loeffelholz, new Delta representative and NOC co-
chair, at the last NOC meeting.
In addition, Chad Leqve provided an update at the same meeting on the RNAV (letter of
application will be coming from MAC to FAA for RNAV trial in February, in an effort to
expedite process) and overview of nighttime operations (NOC has sent letter to airlines
re-emphasizing request not to schedule flights between 10:30 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. and
runway 12L is taking 6% more departures than forecasted and runway 17 20% less).
When asked about the discrepencies in planned runway use, Chad Leqve said the only
people who can explain this are the controllers. Chair Petschel cited one reason for
Mendota Heights' increase in nighttime operations is because of increased flights coming
in between 8:00 p.m. and 10:30 p.m. and some of those are leaking into night-time
operations. NWA, Mesaba, and Sun Country were cited as the current three main night-
time carriers, and it was noted that MSP actual operations were 450,000 flights,
significant decrease from the forecasted 582,000.
Runway 12L/30R will close August 17, for repairs of a 3,008 foot section, and reopen
October 30 if all goes well. Dates are fluid, with 55 good working days planned and
seven allowed for bad weather. During this period, the cross runway will be used more
frequently using a procedure called "land and hold", impacting St. Paul. In a southeast
flow, typical for that time of year, departures will come off 12R and arrivals land on 17
and 22 used for some landings. If weather is dramatically cooler, arrivals will be on 35
and 30L and departures will come off 17. These will provide the most capacity and
highest safety. Mr. Leqve will make appearances at council meetings for the various
cities to communicate the runway construction plan, and MAC's website will provide
timely updates on weather and runways.
Chair Petschel reported that the only RNAV test will be on runway 17 during the week of
February 23 at four-hour intervals, followed by evaluation and, if satisfactory, a 30 -day
trial. She reported that Mr. Leqve asked cities to use their clout to speed approval.

Commission Meeting— February 11, 2009
Mendota Heights Airport Relations Commission
D. Updates for Introduction Book
None.
Acknowledge Receipt of Various Reports/Correspondence
The two noisiest aircraft in the fleet mix are the MD80 and the DC9, and the
Commission's concern is the potential trade in the new Delta of the airbus for the MD80.
The corridor analysis is around 3%, which is fine. Chair Petschel noted in the Winter
2009 "Washington N.O.I.S.E. Watch" that proactive and effective communication will go
a long way to mitigate satisfaction for residents being affected by noise. In the Airport
Noise Report of January 16, 2009, Somerville, Massachusetts, residents are up in arms
about inequitable runway use and the situation there has exploded into a huge problem.
Discussion ensued regarding continuous descent approach, bird strike threats that
increased due to quieter planes, and potential for planes utilizing RNAV to fly over the
same houses repeatedly.

A weekly update on litigation, regulations, and technological developments
Volume 21, Number 4 February 6, 2009
Bob Hope Airport
The Burbank -Glendale -Pasadena Airport Authority made history this week as it
became the first airport in the country to submit a Part 161 Application for a restric-
tion on Stage 3 aircraft since passage of the Airport Noise and Capacity Act
(ANCA) in 1990, which effectively shut down the imposition of new noise restric-
tions at U.S. airports.
By unanimous vote on Feb. 2, the Airport Authority adopted the Part 161 Appli-
cation for a proposed curfew at Bob Hope Airport prepared by Jacobs Consultancy,
concluding a study process that has lasted over eight years and cost in excess of
$6.5 million.
The study results were delivered to FAA Headquarters in Washington, D.C. on
Feb. 4, thus beginning the 180 -day review period prescribed by FAA's Part 161reg-
ulations on Notice and Approval of Airport Noise and Access Restrictions, which
were promulgated under ANCA.
"We have given our absolute best effort over the last eight years in order to

St. Petersburg -Clearwater Inti
The Federal Aviation Administration recently approved a new instrument ap-
proach procedure for commercial airlines landing at St. Petersburg -Clearwater In-
temational Airport that keeps them over Tampa Bay day and night, weather
permitting, in order to reduce noise impact.
On May 1, 2007, the Pinellas County Board of County Commissioners passed a
resolution directing the airport staff to pursue a new airline approach procedure that
would help alleviate aircraft noise for communities that lie directly to the north of
the airport.
Presently, airlines landing to the south, in good weather, can only fly over
Tampa Bay during daylight hours but at night must fly over communities north of
the airport. The new arrival procedure — referred to as the "VOR -B Approach" —
enables airlines to fly both day and night, when weather permits, over Old Tampa
Bay.
The Airport's Noise Abatement Task Force and United Parcel Service, in con-
junction with airport staff and the consulting firm of Jeppesen Data Plan, Inc. have
been working toward the approval of this new procedure for several years.

honor the commitment of this airport to the surrounding
community to do all it possibly can to achieve nighttime
noise relief. No other airport in the country has gotten this far
since the Part 161 process took effect in 1990," said Airport
Authority President Bill Wiggins.
Prior to adoption, the Authority Commission heard pre-
sentations from counsel and the consulting team highlighting
responses to public comments received on the draft study in
2008 and reviewing study findings of additional analysis fol-
lowing the comment period.
The Airport Authority said that the basic findings of the
study presented last year remain in force in the revised ver-
sion, "namely that the imposition of a 10:00 p.m. to 6:59
a.m. full curfew would have a positive benefit -cost ratio, and
that noise and/or air pollution impacts associated with flight
operations that might move to other airports due to the cur-
few do not rise to a level of significance under federal guide-
lines."
Monetized benefits of a full mandatory curfew amount-
ing to $67 million would outweigh costs to airlines, passen-
gers, cargo carriers and general aviation totaling $48 million,
according to the study findings.
New access restrictions are required to have a positive
benefit -cost ratio under Part 161, although achieving a posi-
tive ratio is not a guarantee that FAA will approve a proposed
measure. The $67 million 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
a curfew in place.
The revised Part 161 Study and application is posted on
the airport's website, www.bobhopeaixport.com.
ANCA Blocked New Noise Rules
ANCA directed the FAA to establish a national program
to review proposed airport noise and access restrictions. The
agency responded to that mandate by implemented its Part
161 regulations in 1991 and they have almost completely
stopped airports from imposing new noise or access restric-
tions since then.
Naples Airport is the only airport to have imposed a re-
striction on Stage 2 aircraft under the Part 161 regulations
but had to engage in a long and costly court battle with the
FAA to have its restriction upheld. FAA had contended that
the restriction was unreasonable and terminated the City of
Naples Airport Authority's eligibility for federal Airport Im-
provement Program grants.
Bob Hope Airport now becomes the first to submit an
application for a restriction on Stage 3 aircraft operations.
FAA's response to it will be watched carefully as a sign of
how the Obama Administration plans to interpret the Part
161 regulations. However, anew FAA Administrator has not
yet been appointed and the Administration is still in the
process of bringing political appointees onboard at FAA.
St. Pete, from p. 13
Jeppesen conducted an airspace study for the airport
which resulted in the design of the new approach procedure.
UPS provided critical input in the design process and used
their flight simulator to fly a variety of test landings. The
FAA required that an airline sponsor the new approach.
"Without the cooperation and sponsorship by UPS, we
would not have received FAA approval of this new voluntary
noise abatement procedure," said Airport Director Noah
Lagos.
FAA would not allow the airport to impose the new ap-
proach procedure as a mandatory noise abatement procedure;
therefore, the use of the "VOR -B Approach" by the airlines is
on a voluntary basis.
The airport said it is working with its air carriers to dis-
seminate and implement the new procedure. As the sponsor,
UPS has agreed to fly it.
"It will take time for the airlines to educate and train their
pilots before we start to see the "VOR -13 Approach" being
flown with some regularity. Even though the procedure is
voluntary, we believe that the scheduled carriers will fly the
new approach in good weather conditions," said Lagos.
Wyle Laboratories, a consultant for the airport, conducted
a noise study, which included an analysis of the potential
noise increases and decreases associated with the proposed
"VOR -B Approach" procedure.
Noise Monitoring
Era Systems .Corporation announced Feb. 2 that it has
been awarded a contract by the City of Phoenix to upgrade
the noise and flight track monitoring system at Phoenix Sky
Harbor International Airport.
Era will install its AirScene.com NOMS (Noise and Op-
erations Management System) and Bruel & Kjwr's 3639E
noise monitors.
"AirScene.com NOMS allows the airport to correlate air-
craft identification data with flight tracks to determine spe-
cific aircraft noise levels," Era said. The system will be used
in the areas surrounding Sky Harbor International Airport,
one of the top ten busiest airports in the U.S.
"AirScene.com NOMS is an advanced, professionally
hosted integrated applications suite for managing the envi-
ronmental impact of airport operations. Airports use NOMS
to measure and monitor noise to validate noise abatement
procedures and to effectively respond to community noise
concerns," Era said.
In addition, the City of Phoenix selected Era's
AirScene.com Contours, an optional feature of AirScene.com
NOMS. "AirScene.com Contours is the industry's most pow-
erful integrated noise contouring application and is compati-

ble with the latest version of the FAA's current integrated
noise model (INM)," according to Era. The firm said that
AirScene.com Contours also will be compatible with the Avi-
ation Environmental Design Tool (AEDT), the FAA's next
generation modeling tool that integrates both noise and air
quality. Air5cene.com Contours can be used to produce indi-
vidual and multiple airport contours.
"Phoenix's competitive award to Era strengthens our rep-
utation as the most widely selected and deployed NOMS sup-
plier in the U.S.," said Bill Colligan, SRA's vice president
and general manager, Airport Operations Solutions. "Because
of AirScene.com's advanced technology, the City of Phoenix
will be able to effectively monitor noise at multiple airports,
ranging from general aviation facilities to large commercial
hubs."
ACRD
ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY
RANKED AS TOP `CRITICAL ISSUE'
Research in the area of environmental and energy sustain-
ability was ranked at the top of a list of critical research is-
sues facing the aviation industry in a report issued in January
by the Airport Cooperative Research Program (ACRP).
However, there does not seem to be a research gap in this
area, which currently includes 20 ACRP research projects.
But the report did conclude that research gaps may exist in
three critical issues areas: (1) finance; (2) governance, man-
agement, and administration; and (3) emergencies and disas-
ter management.
The report recommended that the ACRP Oversight Com-
mittee adopt both a general and targeted solicitation process
for research proposals for the next three years to close the re-
search gaps identified.
The ACRP conducts applied research on problems impor-
tant to the airport industry by soliciting research proposals in
a grassroots or "bottom-up" solicitation process.
However, the ACRP Oversight Committee — comprised of
representatives of airport authorities, academic institutions,
airport consultants, and aviation trade groups — was con-
cerned that important issues facing the airport industry may
not be getting into the ACRD research program.
To determine if any research gaps exist, the Committee
asked small focus groups of key industry associations, aca-
demics, the Federal Aviation Administration, and the Trans-
portation Research Board's standing committees on aviation
to respond to the question: What are the current and emerging
issues facing the airport industry and how can the ACRP
help?
The responses to that question were presented to a larger
group in a workshop venue where they were categorized into
issues and further developed into "critical issues," and then
prioritized.
Most of the concern about environmental and energy sus-
tainability focused on reductions in energy consumption, car-
bon footprints, and emissions and balancing these impacts
with demand for growth and airport development. However,
land use compatibility adjacent to airports also was listed as a
research topic in this area.
The ACRP report said that its exercise in defining critical
issues facing airports showed that many issues are inteiTe-
lated and intertwined indicating that ACRP may want to de-
vote research to a broad array of issues over time.
ACRP Research Results Digest 5 is entitled "Current and
Emerging Issues Facing the Airport Industry."
ACRD 2010 Program
On Feb. 4, the ACRP announced that it is seeking prob-
lem statements identifying research needs for its Fiscal Year
2010 program.
Problem statements must be submitted by April 10.
ACRP explained that the problem statements, which form
the basis for selection of the annual research program, are not
proposals to conduct the research but are used to identify po-
tential research needs only.
The ACRP Oversight Committee is encouraging the sub-
mission of problem statements that expand on the topics iden-
tified in its Research Results Digest 5, which is available at
http://onlinepubs.trb.org/onlinepubs/acrp/acip_yrLOO5.pdf.
For the coming year, the Committee has also selected a
specific subject for targeted, strategic ACRD focus. In 2010 it
will be Future Finance and Business Strategies. The Commit-
tee will select die research problem statement for the FY
2010 program in July.

Paper Sought for EURONOISE 2009
A call for papers has been issued for EURONOISE 2009, which will
be held in Edinburgh, Scotland on Oct. 26-28 and is being sponsored by
the Institute of Acoustics and the European Acoustics Association.
The conference will cover a broad range of technical areas but does
include some topics (aircraft noise, noise mapping, sound insulation of
buildings, dose -response relationships, health effects of noise) that would
be of interest to those involved in airport noise mitigation.
The deadline for submitting abstracts for papers is Feb. 16. Abstracts
can be submitted through the conference website
(www.euronoise2009.org.uk).
Bob Hope Airport Gets AIP Grant for Insulation
Congressman Brad Sherman (D -Sherman Oaks) announced Jan. 27
that the Bob Hope Airport in Burbank will be awarded $7 million from
the U.S. Department of Transportation to help insulate nearby homes
from airport noise.
"This grant demonstrates the commitment of the federal government
to reduce or eliminate the impact of aircraft noise on the communities that
surround Bob Hope Airport," said Dan Feger, Executive Director of Bob
Hope Airport.
"This investment will go a long way in improving the quality of life
for nearby residents and greatly diminish the impact of jet noise over the
neighborhoods surrounding the Bob Hope Airport," said Congressman
Sherman.
The $7 million grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation,
combined with local funds, will enable the Burbank -Glendale -Pasadena
Airport Authority to protect an additional 207 homes and reduce the im-
pact of air traffic on the local community. To date, nearly 1,500 homes
have been insulated from the noise of aircraft passing overhead.
Measures to soundproof homes include replacing doors and windows,
insulating attics, and improving weather stripping, and ventilation.
The new grant brings the total amount of federal support for noise
mitigation awarded to the Bob Hope Airport to $83.6 million. The Bur-
bank -Glendale -Pasadena Airport Authority has added $20.6 million in
matching funds, and has committed another $3.1 million to pay for noise -
abatement work not covered by federal grants.

FAA Reauthorization
REINTRODUCED HOUSE FAA BILL RETAINS
STRONG ENVIRONMENTAL, NOISE PROVISIONS
Legislation to reauthorize the programs of the Federal Aviation Administration
was reintroduced in the House on Feb. 9 and retains significant environmental pro-
visions but extends the date by which Stage 2 business jets would have to meet
Stage 3 noise standards by one year from the end of 2012 to end of 2013.
The FAA Reauthorization Act of 2009 (H.R. 915) was introduced by Rep.
James Oberstar (D -NN, chairman of the House Transportation and Infrastructure
Committee. The bill is almost identical to similar legislation introduced in 2007
that was passed by the House but stalled in the Senate.
Environmental provisions in the bill include the following:
• CLEEN Engine and Airframe Technology Partnership: Directs the FAA to
enter into a 10 -year cooperative agreement with an institution, entity, or eligible
consortium to carry out a program for the development, maturing, and certification
of continuous lower energy, emissions, and noise (CLEEN) engine and airframe
technology to reduce aircraft environmental impacts and energy usage;
• Environmental Mitigation Pilot Program: Authorizes the FAA to fund six

ACI -NA WANTS ALL 400 MEMBER AIRPORTS
TO ADOPT NOISE, LAND USE POLICIES BY 2019
On Feb. 6, the Airports Council International — North America (ACI -NA) an-
nounced what it terms "ambitious" environmental goals that it wants its 400 mem-
ber airports to adopt over the next decade.
The noise goal requires that "every ACI -NA member airport will strive to de-
velop a noise and land use compatibility policy by 2019."
Asked why airports were given a decade to develop their noise polices, Jessica
Steinhilber, ACI-NA's senior director of Environmental Affairs, said, "We estab-
lished the various timeframes based on what our membership thought was achiev-
able."
ANR asked what the noise and land use compatibility policy would encompass
and whether it would focus on airports deciding whether to retain the 65 dB DNL
noise contour as their threshold of compatible residential use or expanding it to 60
dB DNL.
Steinhilber said, "Because each airport faces unique noise and land use issues
specific to their situation, we did not think it was appropriate to target specific
noise -related measures. Rather, we are encouraging our members to develop noise

projects at public -use airports to take promising environmen-
tal research concepts into the airport environment to demon-
strate the technology's ability to reduce aviation impacts on
noise, air, or water quality in the airport environment. The
federal share of the project is 50 percent, not to exceed $2.5
million per project;
- Aircraft Departure Queue Management Pilot Pro-
gram: Authorizes the FAA to carry out a pilot program at no
more than five airports to test air traffic flow management
tools, methodologies, and procedures that will allow air traf-
fic controllers to better manage the flow of aircraft on the
ground and reduce the length of ground holds and idling time
for aircraft;
Prohibition on Stage 2 aircraft under 75,000 Ib.: Re-
quires, within five years, all civil subsonic aircraft under
75,000 lbs. to meet Stage 3 noise levels within the 48 con-
tiguous states, with limited exceptions for certain temporary
operations;
- ACRP Program Funding: Authorizes $5 million per
year from FY 2009-2012 to fund environmental projects
done under the Airport Cooperative Research Program;
- Encourage airports to implement environmentally -
beneficial aircraft flight procedures by allowing the FAA
to provide AIP grants to airports to fund environmental re-
views and assessments of such procedures that have been ap-
proved as part of an airport's Part 150 airport noise
compatibility program;
- Amends the Air Tour Management Program to ex-
empt national parks with 50 or fewer annual air tours from
the requirement to develop an air tour management plan;
- Allows FAA to enter into voluntary agreements with
airports that request FAA support to conduct "special envi-
ronmental studies" needed as part of ongoing environmental
reviews, Part 150 programs, or environmental mitigation
commitments made in an agency record of decision or find-
ing of no significant impact;
- Extends authority for FAA to provide AIP grants to
state and local governments to conduct compatible land use
planning and projects until Sept. 30, 2012;
- Determination of Regulatory Responsibility for Air-
craft Engine Noise and Emission Standards: Directs FAA
to arrange with the National Academy of Public Administra-
tion or other qualified independent entity to review, in con-
sultation with FAA and the Environmental Protection
Agency, whether it is desirable to locate the regulatory re-
sponsibility for the establishment of engine noise and emis-
sions standards for civil aircraft within one of the agencies.
Currently EPA is responsible for engine emissions standards;
- Change in Grant Assurance dealing with disposition
of proceeds from sale of noise land that an airport acquired
for a noise compatibility purposes but no longer needs for
that purpose. Current law requires that proceeds proportional
to the federal government's share of the land acquisition be
returned to the Airport and Airway Trust Fund. The bill pro-
poses to allow other uses of the government's share of the
proceeds, giving priority, in descending order, to (1) reinvest-
ment to another noise compatibility program at the airport;
(2) reinvestment in another environmentally -related project at
the airport; (3) reinvestment in another otherwise eligible AIP
project at the airport; (4) transfer to another public airport for
a noise compatibility project; and (5) payment to the Trust
Fund;
- Part 150 Study at PANYNJ Airports: the bill states
that it is the sense of the House of Representatives that the
Port Authority of New York and New Jersey should under-
take a Part 150 airport noise compatibility planning study at
airports it operates as of Nov. 2, 2009. It should pay particu-
lar attention to noise impact in communities near LaGuardia
and JFK airports;
- Passenger Facility Charge cap would be raised from
$4.50 to $7, greatly pleasing airports.
The reintroduced FAA reauthorization bill also would in-
crease funding levels for the AIP program, compared to the
original bill. AIP would be funded at a level of $16.2 billion
over fiscal years 2009-2012, compared to $15.8 billion in the
earlier 2007 bill.
The economic stimulus bill just passed by Congress in-
cludes an additional $1.1 billion in AIP funding with a re-
quirement that up to 50 percent of the funds be obligated
within 120 days and the rest within a year. The bill waives
the local match requirement for AIP grants.
At a Feb. 11 hearing on the FAA reauthorization bill,
members of the House Avation Subcommittee and aviation
industry representatives stressed the need to pass the bill
quickly and praised provisions in the bill that would speed
development and implementation of the Next Generation Air
Transportation System (NextGen).

port's conditions. This is also not specific to establishing
compatible land use thresholds."
In a Feb. 6 speech before the National Aeronautics Asso-
ciation, ACI -NA President Greg Principato said that that air-
ports "undertook this initiative to help further the industry's
already proactive commitment to improving the overall envi-
ronmental performance of airports. These goals are a reflec-
tion of programs that have proved to be successful at
reducing environmental impacts at many of our member air-
ports and seen as an opportunity to mirror those achievements
across the industry."
He said that ACI -NA is committed to helping its members
achieve the environmental goals set through increased educa-
tion and information sharing, identification of funding needs,
and support for necessary research.
ACI -NA wants every member airport to strive to adopt an
environmental policy statement by 2010 and to have environ-
mental management systems in place by 2014 at large air-
ports, 2016 at medium airports, and 2019 at small airports.

Noise Monitoring
B&K ACQUIRES LOCIIARD CORP.
TO FORM NEW EMS BUSINESS UNIT
Australia -based Lochard Corporation, a leading supplier
of airport noise monitoring and flight tracking systems, has
been acquired by Brael & Kjwr, a manufacturer of sound and
vibration equipment based in Denmark.
"The Lochard business will be combined with Briiel &
Kjwr's airport and urban monitoring business to form a new
EMS business unit within the Brdel & Kjwr group, focused
on delivering innovative Environmental Management Solu-
tions for airports and urban environments. The new global
EMS business will be headquartered in Melbourne and run by
the existing Lochard executive team," B&K explained in a
Feb. 6 press release.
B&K said it acquired Lochard "with the intention of pro-
viding customers with world-class Environment Management
Solutions."
Environment Management Solutions (EMS) involve mon-
itoring and management of noise and climate parameters in
cities and airports with the purpose of reducing environmen-
tal impacts and to ensure compliance of national and interna-
tional regulations, B&K explained.
"Combining the strengths of Brdel & Kjwr and Lochard
will provide customers with access to a full range of prod-
ucts, solutions and services within Environmental Manage-
ment Solutions, backed by an extensive technical and
application support network in 55 countries. The acquisition
of Lochard will enable Brdel & Kjwr to develop, market, and
support an increased product portfolio, including Lochard's
NoiseOffice suite of managed noise services and innovative
web -based services," B&K said.
"Lochard is a global leader in supplying environmental
monitoring systems and services to the world's airports. With
a strong and trusted brand in the industry, Lochard is known
for delivering innovative solutions including a complete
range of quality services for airport noise management,"
B&K said.
Lars Ronn, Managing Director at Brbel & Kjxr, said,
"Environment Management Solutions is a strategic growth
area and the acquisition of Lochard increases the breadth of
products and services that Briiel & Kjwr can provide its cus-
tomers. Increasing regulation on permissible noise levels
means that city administrations and businesses, as well as air-
port and airline operators, are demanding sophisticated solu-
tions for monitoring and managing noise. Lochard's
NoiseOff'ice, a suite of managed noise services, provides an
ideal solution to our clients who need to do more with less".
Martin Adams, Managing Director of Lochard, said:
"Lochard is joining forces with Brnel & Kjxr to provide cus-
tomers with unparalleled access to the Briiel & Kiwr exten-
sive network and global infrastructure and excellent range of
instrumentation, together with Lochard's innovative web -
based and managed services. With the new business unit, we
look forward to apply our extensive experience to assist air-
ports and urban authorities to reduce their environmental im-
pact and demonstrate compliance and transparency in
environmental reporting."
Supersonic Aircraft

A special workshop to raise public awareness of advances
in supersonic aircraft technology will be held in conjunction
with the upcoming UC Davis Symposium on Aviation Noise
& Air Quality, which will be held in Palm Springs, CA, on
March 1-4.
The workshop was scheduled too late to appear on the
program of the symposium. It will be held from 10 a.m. to
noon on Sunday March 1 at the conference site, the Palm
Springs Hilton Hotel.
The SST session, sponsored by the Federal Aviation Ad-
ministration, will include presentations on current research
programs and a question and answer session for attendees.
It is being held to make the public aware of advances in
SST technology aimed at reducing the intensity of sonic
boom and to allow the FAA, the National Aeronautics and
Space Administration (NASA), and aviation industry to get
feedback from those attending the session on the research ef-
forts.
"Public involvement is essential in any future definition
of an acceptable new standard that would allow supersonic
flights over land," FAA said in a Feb. 12 Federal Register an-
nouncement.
"We anticipate that this will be the second of many meet-
ings informing the public on developments in the research of
shaped sonic booms and other technical and environmental
challenges that need to be addressed in developing a new su-
personic airplane."
The FAA led its fust panel discussion on SST technology
on Oct. 24, 2008, as part of the O'Hare Noise Compatibility
Commission Symposium.
Since March 1973, supersonic flight over land by civil
aircraft has been prohibited in the United States. The Con-
corde was the only civil supersonic airplane that offered serv-
ice to the United States but that airplane is no longer in
service.

ability and environmental credentials." Perryman continued,
"Together, the expertise offered by L&B and Mestre Greve
will be a powerful combination for our clients and partners."
Vince Mestre, P.E., Principal of Mestre Greve Associates,
noted that this acquisition by L&B would result in a win/win
situation. "Mestre Greve recognizes the full value of L&B
and the strategic importance of the company. Mestre Greve,
which completed more than $1.5 million in contracts in 2008,
is pleased to combine the strength of its management team
and mutual commitment to quality with L&B." He added
that, like L&B, the firm is proud of its reputation for meeting
deadlines and completing projects on schedule and at the pro-
posed cost.
Fred Greve, P.E., Principal of Mestre Greve Associates, is
hopeful about the acquisition. "We look forward to teaming
up with L&B on projects throughout the U.S., Canada and
worldwide. This is a huge growth opportunity for our staff
and an opportunity to showcase our expertise globally."
Mestre Greve Associates is a professional engineering
firm specializing in noise control, air resources engineering,
and airport studies. Established in 1981, it has successfully
completed studies throughout the United States, Canada, Eu-
rope, Southeast Asia, and New Zealand.
Core business for Mestre Greve is noise, air quality and
greenhouse gas studies for transportation systems including
airport, road and rail, and developer/builder noise and air
quality studies.
Services provided by the company include assessments
for airports, noise control studies for development projects,
and air, noise, and greenhouse gas studies for environmental
assessments.
Among Mestre Greve's major airport clients are John
Wayne Airport, Santa Monica Airport, Long Beach Airport,
Oakland International, Seattle -Tacoma International, Hon-
olulu International, Hilo International, Sonoma County Air-
port, Boca Raton Airport, Aspen Airport, Kodiak Airport,
Spokane International, Suvarnabbumi (Bangkok) Interna-
tional, Whenuapai Airport (New Zealand), and Geilenkirchen
Airbase (Germany).
The DAR Group
In January 2008, L&B became a member of the Dar
Group, one of the largest engineering and design firms in the
world with 44 offices in 30 countries.
Although L&B sold a majority of its stock to the Dar
Group, the management team retained a minority ownership
stake in the company. The investment by Dar is allowing
L&B to grow and expand its environmental management
services around the globe.
Asked if L&B has plans to acquire any other environmen-
tal consulting firms, Perryman said, "The simple answer is
yes, provided it is value added to L&B, such as the Mestre
Greve deal. Dar's only real charge to us has been to grow.
They have encouraged us to be cautious in these current eco-
noetic times but to look for good opportunities to grow the
L&B brand around the world." Perryman said that L&B is
not actively negotiating with any other firms currently al-
though it is looking at a few possibilities.
Landrum & Brown is the oldest privately owned consul-
tancy dedicated solely to the needs of the commercial avia-
tion community. This year it will celebrate 60 years as a
company. The Dar Group acquisition is the first in L&B's
history.

O'Hare Intl
1 1M91110191 .041 1 IM,
In its continuing effort to abate aircraft noise for residents
who live near O'Hare International Airport, the O'Hare Noise
Compatibility Commission (ONCC) announced Feb. 23 that
it has approved a sound insulation policy that targets quali-
fied multi -owner dwellings.
The decision to begin sound insulation work for the first
time on multi -owner homes—in particular, condominiums—
Airport Noise Report
February 27, 2009 23
fulfills the Federal Aviation Administration requirement that
all residences located within the noise contour of the O'Hare
Modernization Program (OMP) are considered for sound-
proofing eligibility.
ONCC's Residential Sound Insulation Program, in coop-
eration with the Chicago Department of Aviation, has over-
seen the installation of soundproofing in single family homes
since 1997. To date, more than 6,954 homes and 115 schools
have been sound insulated at a cost of $500 million. Funding
comes from the FAA's Airport Improvement Program and the
City of Chicago Passenger Facility Charges.
"Our inclusion of multi -owner dwellings is the logical
next step," said Cook County representative and Residential
Sound Insulation Committee Chairperson Frank A. Damato.
"We are issuing bids this month and anticipate actual con-
struction will begin by September following homeowner
briefings, the bid and contract process, and extensive field
work," he said.
"In addition to the policy for sound insulating multi -
owner buildings that have governing boards or management
companies, we also passed a resolution to accommodate the
small multi -owner buildings that do not have formal manage-
ment structures," Damato explained.
A $20 million budget approved in 2008 will cover sound
insulation for approximately 1,000 single and multi -unit
dwellings in Chicago, Des Plaines, Rosemont, Park Ridge
Schiller Park and Bensenville. Additional single and multi -
owner dwellings within the OMP noise contour will be sound
insulated as funding becomes available, Damato said.
Philadelphia Intl
It, 01 i M1111KIM],
Reps. Robert Andrews (D -NJ) and Joe Sestak (D -PA) re-
cently proposed a plan to shift 10 percent of the air traffic at
Philadelphia International Airport to Atlantic City Interna-
tional Airport as a way to reduce flight delays and to reduce
aircraft noise impact on residents in their districts.
However, Southwest Airlines and US Airways, two of the
major carriers serving Philadelphia International Airport, said
they are not interested in the idea. A US Airways spokesman
said he did not believe that moving aircraft away from
Philadelphia International to other airports would solve the
delay problem there.
Andrews and Sestak's proposal to shift flights out of
Philadelphia International was meant to address increased
noise impact caused by a major redesign of the airspace in the
New York/New Jersey/Philadelphia metropolitan area. As
part of that airspace redesign, additional departure headings
were added at Philadelphia International which directed air-
craft over communities relatively close to the airport that had
not previously had overflights.
The airspace redesign project was challenged in a dozen
lawsuits filed by the State of Connecticut, several county
governments, a coalition of towns, and environmental groups.
The cases were consolidated in the U.S. Court of Appeals
for the District of Columbia Circuit.
The court announced recently that it will hold an oral ar-
gument in the case, County of Rockland, NY, et al. v FAA
(No. 07-1363) on May 11 at 9:30 a.m. before a three-judge
panel of the court, including the court's chief judge.
FAA and the Department of Justice recently filed a 160 -
page brief in response to the lawsuits challenging the airspace
redesign project.
The plaintiffs alleged that the FAA's final environmental
impact statement on the project violated the National Envi-
ronmental Policy Act (NEPA) process, violated Section 4(f)
of the Department of Transportation Act, which requires spe-
cial consideration of parklands, and violated the conformity
requirements of the Clean Air Act.
FAA and DOJ invoked one of the architects of NEPA in
defending the environmental impact study done for the proj-
ect.
"If the late Senator Henry Jackson could return to Wash-
ington and examine the FEIS for this Project, he likely would
find that its length, detail, and extensive public participation
far exceeded his modest goal as NEPA's principal sponsor in
1969," they told the court.
"FAA applied its considerable aviation and environmental
technical expertise to this vital, but controversial, redesign
Project with a thoroughness befitting the importance of the
action and interest from the public.
"Petitioners are left with quibbles in the wake of this un-
precedented NEPA process. Their claims, resting on NEPA,
§4(f) and the CAA, are all without merit."
It will be up to the D.C. Court of Appeals to determine
whether the legal challenges to the airspace redesign project
are mere quibbles or are valid issues that could force changes
in the way FAA conducts environmental reviews of future air-
space redesigns.
Ft. Lauderdale Hollywood Intl
HOLLYWOOD JOINS LAWSUIT
OPPOSING RUNWAY EXTENSION
The City of Hollywood, FL, decided to join a lawsuit
challenging the Federal Aviation Administration's approval of
the extension of the south runway at Ft. Lauderdale Interna-
tional Airport, which the agency says is needed to manage
passenger growth through the year 2020.
The Hollywood Commissioners voted unanimously to
contribute $60,000 to the lawsuit, which was filed by the City
of Dania Beach on Jan. 13 (21 ANR 1). The money now ear-
marked for the lawsuit had been designated to support eco-
nomic studies for the city's upcoming budget process.
Hollywood Mayor Peter Bober said he was not opposed
to the airport expanding but thought that extending the south
runway was the worst option of those considered because of
its noise impact on communities.
Airport Noise Report
February 27, 2009 24
ANR EDITORIAL The FAA admitted in its Record of Decision on the project that adding
a new north runway was the "environmentally preferred option" but said

goal of providing a "safe, efficient, and integrated system of public -use
airports."
