The regular meeting of the Mendota Heights Airport Relations Commission was held on

1101 Victoria Curve, Mendota Heights, Minnesota.
The following Commissioners were present: Liz Petschel, Chair; Robin Ehrlich, Vice

Also present were: Jim Danielson, City Administrator; Jake Sedlacek, Assistant to the
City Administrator; Gretchen Koenen, Sunfish Lake and Rochelle Russo, Recorder.
Not Present: Bill Dunn, Joe Hennessy and Dave Sloan, Corm- issioners.

It was noted that Vice Chair Ehrlich was Commissioner X.
Commissioner Odland corrected the spelling to his last name.
A motion was made by Commissioner Lorberbaum, seconded by Vice Chair Ehrlich, to
approve the minutes of the July 8, 2009, ARC meeting as amended. It was approved by

Unfinished and New Business
A. Update from meeting with Diane Miller City of Eagan
Chair Petschel reported on her discussion with Diane Miller regarding the changes in
RUS and that they were disturbing, particularly regarding nighttime operations off of 12L.
They discussed the possibility of a jet way between the two parallel runways, which
would make moving the planes between the two runways more efficient. They also
discussed disparity between the runways. Chair Petschel noted that she would like to see
equality between the City of Mendota Heights and the City of Eagan. She stated Ms.
Miller was very open and excepting, that she didn't know how the Eagan City Council
feels, but that she didn't foresee a problem. Ms. Miller noted she would like to see a
repeat joint meeting between the Mendota Heights and Eagan airport commissions with
an emphasis of working on community outreach.
Commission Meeting — August 12, 2009 r
Mendota Heights Airport Relations Commission
Commissioner Duggan explained a challenge in working with the NOC at this particular
time is the lack of stable representation of a freight carrier since Peter Livermore is no
longer representing UPS. That makes the NOC unbalanced at this point in time.
B. Updates from May and July NOC Meeting — Liz and Ultan
Commissioner Duggan reported that an extensive update was given on the insulation of
surrounding homes, noting 7 % of people don't opt for the insulation program offered.
An update on the MAC website improvements was given stating information on airport
operations is more quickly available due to a software upgrade. He also stated RNAV
procedures were partially approved, yet discussion is continuing. He added Metro Cities
and Met Council are interested in the expansion of the regional airports and Staff will
contact for an update. Commissioner Duggan also stated the City of Blaine is interested
in establishing a stronger Airport Relations Commission.
Chair Petschel reported on the 2030 Plan that Dennis Probst presented. Plans include
moving non partners to the Humphrey Terminal and amenity improvements to be made.
Upgrades including baggage handling, similar to what is used at the Lindbergh Terminal,
more seating and rental car company access. It was also noted that freeway
reconstruction is proposed in the 2030 Capital Improvement Plan if the taxiway is
constructed between 12L and 12R. Delta Airlines is going to start carrying mail for the
U.S. Postal Service, which will entail changes at the airport. There was also discussion of
projected operations at the airport and whether or not this might trigger a study of the
need for a third parallel runway. Capacity described as waiting times, time it takes for
planes to take off and the time it takes for planes to reach the terminals.
Commissioner Odland stated he felt it was wise that ARC continues to obtain information
in advance, anticipating future issues.
Chair Petschel stated John McDonald, MAC Representative, would be attending the
September 9, 2009 ARC Meeting.
C. Approval of 2009 Plan of Action
Commissioner Lorberbaurn made a motion, seconded by Vice Chair Ehrlich, to approve
the 2009 Plan of Action. It was approved unanimously.
Discussion ensued regarding presenting the 2009 Plan of Action to the City Council on
September 15, 2009.
Discussion ensued regarding Item 12, "Providing communication to the residents" and
the possibility of ARC going "live" in September.
D. Updates for Introduction Book
None.

Some members of the House Aviation Subcommittee expressed concern at a
July 29 hearing over lengthy and costly environmental reviews that are delaying
implementation of new, more fuel-efficient flight paths into and out of airports that
the airlines are pressing the Federal Aviation Administration to develop more
quickly.
These fight paths are being defined in Area Navigation (RNAV) and Required
Navigation Performance (RNP) procedures that allow aircraft to fly any desired
flight path without the limitations imposed by ground-based navigation systems.
RNAV and RNP allow aircraft to fly more precise, fuel-efficient, shorter, and even
curved paths into out of airports.
RNAV and RNP procedures hold enormous potential to reduce aircraft fuel
burn, noise, and carbon emissions, boost controller productivity, and increase ca-
pacity, the Subcommittee explained in a briefing paper. The advanced navigation
procedures are key to enhancing airport capacity in the near term and are a major
component of the Next Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen).

Mesa Gateway
ASU `DECISION THEATER' SEEN AS TOOL
TO REVOLUTIONIZE LAND USE PLANNING
The City of Mesa, AZ, recently used a unique, immersive, 3-1) tool for visualiz-
ing land use planning around Mesa Gateway Airport that allowed city officials to
see — and hear — the aircraft noise impact of various land use planning scenarios
around the airport.
"It was for a lack of a better work, revolutionary," Scott Rigby, Mesa Airport
project manager, said after considering land use options around the airport viewed
on a 260 degree, three-dimensional screen, called "the drum," at the Arizona State
University's Decision Theater.
Mesa Councilman Scott Somers predicted that ASU's Decision Theater would
become an industry standard for strategic land use planning.
Funded by a $3 million grant, Decision Theater opened three years ago as part
of the university's Global Institute of Sustainability. Computer software allows de-
cision makers to view graphs, charts, or 3-D maps on seven screens that wrap
around a 20 -foot -diameter room.
Since its opening, the theater has been used successfully by decision makers in-
volved in various project, including looking at potential drought effects on Ari-
zona's water supply and predicting pandemic flu scenarios.
University officials explain that Decision Theater is a tool that allows decision

"Because RNAV and RNP hold such potential, they are in
high demand by airlines," Rep. James Oberstar (D -MN),
chairman of the House Transportation and Infrastructure
Committee, explained.
"The FAA is under pressure to produce more and better
quality procedures, and even expand the use of these proce-
dures to seamlessly connect city pairs. There are, however,
some implementation challenges that the FAA faces. For ex-
ample, airlines want more direct routes into airports that will
save more fuel, instead of overlays of existing ground-based
navigational aids. However, more direct routes could trigger
extensive environmental review," Oberstar said.
Oberstar noted that Southwest Airlines has expressed con-
cerns over the cost and length of the environmental review
process needed to deploy more direct routes and has indicated
"that it simply cannot achieve its needed return on investment
unless it can obtain more direct routes than those already in
use by the FAA."
Richard Day, senior vice president for Operations, in the
FAA's Air Traffic Organization, told the Subcommittee,
"While many RNAV/RNP procedures are considered `over-
lays', that is, following essentially the same flight path that
air traffic follows today, the implementation of some
RNAV/RNP procedures will trigger the need for a detailed
quantitative environmental review because the location and
number of proposed flight paths may be different from what
currently exists.
He said the FAA "has a strong commitment to environ-
mental stewardship and doing our best to analyze and miti-
gate the impact on the public in terms of noise and emissions,
while maintaining safety of the NAS.
"While the FAA understands the frustration felt by indus-
try on the delay to implementation that these environmental
reviews may cause at times, we take our environmental re-
sponsibilities seriously and will not compromise our environ-
mental stewardship responsibilities for the sake of
expediency."
Environmental Review of RNAV/RNPs
Oberstar asked for information about the environmental
review process surrounding the deployment of RNAV and
RNP procedures.
According to the FAA, if a change to an air traffic proce-
dure is within the current footprint, as would likely be the
case with an RNP overlay route, a categorical exclusion (CE)
will usually be granted. However, if the procedure is slightly
outside the current footprint and a CE will not cover the
changes, a focused environmental assessment (EA) may be
done. The difference between an EA, which normally takes
12-18 months and a focused EA, which takes 6-12 month is
the number of impact categories that must be evaluated.
If the NRP procedure is completely outside the current
footprint, as could be the case for a more direct RNP proce-
dures desired by airlines, a full environmental review will be
M
required. This review could be an EA or, it may result in the
need to complete an EIS, which may take up to two years (the
Department of Transportation's Inspector General has stated
that it could be as many as eight years).
The cost to conduct these environmental reviews ranges
from $250,000 to $1 million for an EA, and several millions
of dollars for a full EIS. In the case of a public procedure
(which all airlines can use), FAA would bear this cost. In the
case of a special procedure (developed by experts outside the
FAA for the exclusive use of one carrier), the carrier would
bear the cost.
Categorical Exemption Urged
Chet Fuller, president of GE Civil Aviation Systems, sug-
gested that the FAA provide categorical exemptions from en-
vironmental review for RNP procedures that overfly existing
visual flight paths into airports.
"NPR routes can be designed to replicate the routes taken
today by aircraft on clear, good weather days, when con-
trollers clear them for a visual approach," he said.
"During periods of good weather and clear visibility,
when the pilot has the runway in sight, it is a common and
widely accepted practice for the air traffic controller to re-
lease the pilot from the instrument approach to land the plane
at his discretion. Because a pilot who sees the runway can
take the most direct and expeditious route to get there, these
visual approaches are generally more efficient than corre-
sponding instrument approaches.
"By studying the historical radar tracks of aircraft that
have been cleared for visual approaches, the procedure design
can limit the RNP paths to these areas. In this way, RNP paths
can route the aircraft over areas where visual air traffic is al-
ready flying, mitigating any potential adverse environmental
impact of the new procedure."
However, this would require the FAA to add RNP proce-
dures over existing visual flight paths to its list of actions that
are categorically excluded from environmental review, he
said.
The Senate FAA reauthorization bill requires the FAA to
develop a plan to deploy RNAV and RNP procedures at the
top 35 airports by 2014 and throughout the entire national air-
space system by 2018.
Airspace Redesign

Three NJ congressmen failed to get support on the House
floor for an amendment they proposed to an appropriations
bill that would have barred the FAA from continuing to fund
its implementation of the controversial airspace redesign over
the New York/New Jersey/Philadelphia region.
Rep. Rodney P. Frelinghuysen introduced a bipartisan
amendment on July 23, with the support of Rep. Leonard
Airport Noise Report
August 7, 2009 93
Lance, Rep. Rush Holt, and Rep. Eliot Engel.
The amendment which was offered during the House's
consideration of the Fiscal Year 2010 Transportation, Hous-
ing and Urban Development Appropriations bill, failed on a
vote of 116 to 313.
The FAA's airspace redesign is currently in the process of
altering air traffic patterns over Delaware, New Jersey, Penn-
sylvania, New York and Connecticut. The FAA's stated goal
for this redesign is to reduce delays in air travel. However,
Frelinghuysen has repeatedly told the FAA that the plan does
not take into consideration increased air noise that potentially
will be experienced by residents of northern New Jersey.
"While the safety of passengers, their travel time, and the
needs of the airline industry's survival is paramount, so is the
right of the people on the ground, not all of whom are `air
travelers' themselves, who have a right to a quality of life
with a minimum exposure to air noise overhead," Frelinghuy-
sen said on the House floor.
. "The FAA has never adequately addressed the issue of
airplane noise, despite repeated Congressional requests and
statutory requirements to do so.
"There were 13 lawsuits seeking to block this redesign
because of noise and other environmental concerns. Members
of Congress have proposed several studies that have sought to
find other solutions to improve the airspace, so clearly there
is support for putting this redesign on hold.
"Madam Speaker, despite the fact that the appropriations
bills over many years that fund the FAA have directed the
FAA to address the issue of aircraft noise, the FAA has
clearly tarred a "deaf ear" to this issue.
"Maybe they will hear us this time!
"In closing, I know that many members want to see this
redesign continue to move forward to improve the overall ef-
ficiency of our nation's airspace.
"I would just ask that my colleagues keep in mind that not
only is this airspace the most complex in the country, but that
this redesign is the first of its kind and that we will soon see
the redesigns of the airspace of many metropolitan areas in
the near future.
"If the FAA doesn't address aircraft noise now, when will

makers to visualize the impact of various policies through the
modeling of alternative scenarios. It allows for collaborative
brainstorming and consensus building by giving decision
makers the ability to determine where policy drivers and bar-
riers exist.
The City of Mesa used Decision Theater to help develop
a land use plan for a 32 -square -mile area adjacent to Gate-
way Airport, which had been zoned for industrial use. The
city wanted to determine if high-density urban residential use
would be compatible with airport operations, including pas-
senger and cargo aircraft.
The city determined that there were areas around the air -
port where high-density residential development would be
compatible with airport operations,
"Decision Theater allowed for a deeper discussion and
more comprehensive view of how we develop land around
the airport," Rigby told ANR. "It swept away the old mindset
of keeping everything away" from the airport. Decision The-
ater allowed the city to find appropriate areas for residential
and mixed use development, he explained.
Decision Theater staff, working with ATC Corporation of
Sunnyvale, CA, collaborated to produce a 3D visualization of
integrating flight safety corridors, flight paths, building
heights, and land use plans. MD80 and Boeing 757 noise
contours were animated to demonstrate sound levels along a
typical flight path and ambient street and jet aircraft sound
clips were played to convey relative sound levels.
ATAC Corp. used its Aircraft Noise Animator to animate
flight trajectories and resulting single -event noise contours.
The Noise Animator can produce several different metrics,
including SEL and LAMax. It also can animate concurrent
flight to display noise contour interactions.
ASU hopes to use the Internet to expand the reach of its
Decision Theater beyond the physical confines of its univer-
sity setting.
Lisa Faiss, assistant director of Integrated Urban Solu-
tions for ASU Decision Theater, said the university also is
working with the City of Scottsdale, AZ, to examine the vi-
sual impact of building height and density around Scottsdale
Airport through Decision Theater.
Martin County Airport
The Florida Department of Transportation recently named
Martin County Airport's noise abatement project as Airport
Project of the Year. Hanson Professional Services Inc., serv-
ing as a consultant to CDM, led Martin County Airport's Air-
port Noise Advisory Committee (ANAL) and helped oversee
this award-winning noise abatement departure profile
(NADP) demonstration project.
The award, presented at the Florida Airports Council's
awards banquet on Aug. 5, is the second state -level award for
this project, which reduced the noise impact of aircraft opera-
tions on neighboring communities by modifying airplane de-
parture procedures, Hanson explained in a news release.
The Florida Department of Transportation awards the Air-
port Project of the Year to projects that demonstrate excep-
tional professional skills representing a significant
contribution to airport development, sustainability, efficiency,
capacity and safety.

In Brief...
Public Awareness of Noise Effects
A special meeting will be held during INTER -NOISE 2009 in Ot-
tawa, Canada, to discuss the idea of a Public Education and Awareness
Program on the effects of exposure to community noise and what can be
done to mitigate such exposures. The meeting will take place on Sunday,
23 Aug. from 2:30 — 4:00 in the Maple Room of the Westin Ottawa Hotel.
It will consider how to organize the proposed national program.
The Institute of Noise Control Engineering/USA and the Acoustical
Society of America are considering starting the proposed national Public
Education and Awareness Program with an initial Public Outreach Work-
shop at the joint INCE/ASA Meeting in April 2010 in Baltimore.

MOST OF 35 AIRPORTS SURVEYED CONSIDER
NOISE ISSUES OUTSIDE 65 DNL IMPORTANT
A majority of the 35 airports surveyed in a Airport Cooperative Research Pro-
gram (ACRP) study said they considered noise issues outside the 65 DNL contour
to be important, very important, or critical to their airport.
The study, "Compilation of Noise Programs in Areas Outside DNL 65; A Syn-
thesis of Airport Practice," was just released by the Transportation Research Board,
which manages the ACRP program for the Federal Aviation Administration. Copies
of the study can be either purchased or downloaded in PDF format at
http://www.trb.org/newsiblurb_detail.asp?id=10759.
The study is intended to inform airport operators, stakeholders, and policy mak-
ers about alternative actions currently used by airports to address noise outside the
DNL (Day -Night Average Noise Level) 65 contour.
Federal policy establishes DNL 65 as the level of cumulative aircraft noise con-
sidered to be "significant." That policy can be traced to the U.S. DOT's Aviation
Noise Abatement Policy of 1976. No formal policy statements have been issued
since 1976 that address noise outside DNL 65. If the FAA were to issue a policy

ACRP Projects
ACRD 2010 RESEARCH PROGRAM INCLUDES
FOUR PROJECTS ADDRESSING NOISE IMPACT
Four projects focusing on aircraft noise are among the 30 projects that comprise
the Fiscal Year 2010 Airport Cooperative Research Program under which applied
research is carried out to develop near-term solutions to a broad range of issues fac-
ing airports.
The noise projects will:
• Update FAA guidelines for residential sound insulation adjacent to airports;
• Study the use of ground- and bridge -mounted HVAC (heating, ventilating, and
air-conditioning) systems to reduce ground noise and emissions at airport gates;
• Collect and summarize current research on the impacts of noise on learning
and relate it to aviation noise and airports; and
• Develop an aircraft taxi noise database for use in the Integrated Noise Model
(INM) and the Aviation Environmental Design Tool (AEDT).
The Transportation Research Board (TRB), which manages the ACRP program
for the Federal Aviation Administration, announced Aug. 7 that it is seeking nomi-
nations for individuals to serve on oversight panels that will be formed for each of
the research projects conducted in the 2010 program.
Nominations must be submitted no later than Sept. 21. The announcement, in -

statement regarding addressing noise outside the 65 DNL
contour, its impact would likely be to make more funding
available for such efforts by airports.
Mary Ellen Eagan and Robin Gardner, of Harris Miller
Miller & Hanson, Inc., collected and synthesized the informa-
tion and wrote the report.
An online survey of airport staff was conducted regarding
noise outside DNL 65. The survey was designed primarily to
identify the reasons for addressing noise outside DNL 65, and
the wide range of noise abatement, mitigation, and communi-
cation techniques used to address noise outside DNL 65 that
extend beyond sound insulation.
"Potential survey recipients were identified by the con-
sultant and Project Panel based on some knowledge of noise
issues at subject airports. Other airports were invited to par-
ticipate through an article in the newsletter Airport Noise Re-
port. As a result, the pool of respondents does not necessarily
reflect average opinion on the subject of noise outside DNL
65; it does, however, represent a diverse sample of airports in
terms of size and geography," the report explains.
It said, "Of the 43 airports targeted, 35 responded for an
81% response rate, which exceeds the 80% target forACRP
synthesis studies. Given the relatively small sample size, con-
clusions should not be considered definitive for all airports,
but illustrative of the range of challenges airports face and the
variety of approaches to address them."
Survey Findings
The survey included five general questions regarding
noise issues outside DNL 65 and found the following:
• "A majority of respondents (83%) indicated that noise
issues outside DNL 65 were "important," "very important,"
or "critical" to their airport. The remaining 17% were evenly
split, stating that noise issues outside DNL 65 were "some-
what important," or "not at all important";
• "The most frequently listed method of minimizing noise
outside DNL 65 was operator education and outreach (74 %
of respondents), followed by noise abatement flight tracks
(69%), preferential runway use programs (66%), noise abate-
ment departure or arrival procedures (60%), and ground noise
control (510/6);
• "Some 80% of respondents indicated that "community
concerns" were the motivation for addressing noise outside
DNL 65; some 57% of respondents also indicated that "pre-
ventive planning" was a motivation;
• "Almost three-quarters of respondents (74%) indicated
that more than 75% of their airport's noise complaints come
from people who live outside DNL 65;
• "The most common outreach tools to communicate with
people exposed to noise outside DNL 65 are websites (74 %),
community meetings/forums (74%), online tracking (40%),
and newsletters (40%)."
The survey also found the following:
• "A majority of surveyed airports use noise abatement
departure (63%) and arrival (51%) flight tracks and departure
(54%) and arrival cockpit procedures (40%) to minimize
noise over residential and other noise -sensitive neighbor-
hoods. However, among surveyed airports there is no consis-
tency in methodology among airports for evaluating noise
abatement outside DNL 65, and there is little guidance or
support from the FAA on appropriate metrics or criteria for
evaluating noise abatement procedures;
• "Most airports reported some procedures to minimize
ground noise (69%); 25% of those airports reported that the
procedures were developed primarily to address noise outside
DNL 65, and an additional 38% reported that procedures
were developed to address noise issues both inside and out-
side DNL 65;
• "More than half of the surveyed airports (57%) reported
having land use compatibility measures that apply outside
DNL 65. The tools used by airports for land use compatibility
planning include zoning, building permits that require sound
insulation of residential and noise -sensitive nonresidential
land uses, and disclosure to residents;
• "The majority of respondents (58%) do not provide
sound insulation to homeowners living outside DNL 65.
However, 20% provide sound insulation for homes in con-
tiguous neighborhoods ("block rounding"), and an additional
15% provide sound insulation for homes within the DNL 60
dB contour;
• "Nearly three-quarters of respondents (74%) reported
that they use both websites and face-to-face meetings to com-
municate with people exposed to noise outside DNL 65;
• "The responding airports communicate with pilots about
noise outside DNL 65 in a number of ways: the most com-
mon are pilot briefings (40%) and Jeppesen inserts (40%),
posters and handouts (370/6), and FAA standards (17%); other
methods include airfield signage, Airport Facility Directory
Special Notices, videos distributed through flight schools,
and phone calls."
Case Studies
Two case studies were presented in the study. They were
selected to reflect a diversity of airport size, geography, and
strategies to address noise issues outside DNL 65. "The case
studies demonstrate that there is a need for airports to have
flexibility in addressing noise outside DNL 65 — whether be-
cause communities have demanded it (Naples Municipal Air-
port) or because the airport has conducted proactive planning
(Dallas/Ft. Worth International Airport). Both airports offer
strategies that could be adopted by other airports as best prac-
tices for similar situations; the common elements include in-
vested staff, consistent and transparent communication, and
close collaboration with local land use planning organiza-
tions," the report explains.
Research Needs Defined
This study also identified the need for additional research
in the following areas:
• "Toolkit" of strategies to address noise outside DNL 65
Airport Noise Report
August 14, 2009 97
with recommended best practices that could help airports
identify those strategies best suited for a variety of noise is-
sues outside DNL 65;
- Communication — Better methods are needed for work-
ing with local communities;
- Evaluation of noise abatement strategies outside DNL
65, including noise metrics, criteria, and benefit -cost analy-
ses;
Land use measures — This study identified a need to
identify the barriers to implementing land use measures;
- Complaints — "The relationship between noise com-
plaints and noise level is still not well understood. Areas for
research in this area include: (1) an evaluation of how com-
plaints are made, recorded, and dealt with; (2) how airport
operators use and evaluate complaint levels to drive noise
programs; and (3) how airport operators evaluate the effec-
tiveness of noise programs through changes in complaints";
- Case studies: "Those described in this synthesis are in-
structive; however, the scope of this project did not allow for
an in-depth analysis or discussion of some of the best practice
strategies that could be derived from these airports."

Following are preliminary descriptions of the four noise
projects:
Project 2-24: Guidance for Residential Sound
Insulation Adjacent to Airports ($200,000)
Under FAA's Airport Improvement Program (AIP),
homes exposed to noise due to airport operations overhead or
nearby are sound -insulated to reduce indoor noise. Program
procedures and qualification are prescribed in existing law
and regulation 14 CFR Part 150, Airport Noise Compatibility
Planning. .
Approved noise compatibility programs include mitiga-
tion measures to reduce the impact of noise exposure on resi-
dences located within the airport's noise contours. One of the
most widely -used Part 150 noise measures is the sound insu-
lation of homes within the airports defined noise exposure
contours. Since its inception, the FAA has approved and
funded over $2 billion to implement airport noise compatibil-
ity programs at the participating airports nationwide.
Under the AIP, FAA may fund an airport approved Noise
Compatibility Program that may offer sound insulation of
homes located within the 65 dB DNL contour of the airports
published noise exposure maps. The cost of the sponsor's in-
sulation program is eligible for FAA AIP funding if the air-
port sound insulation program produces a 5 dB noise level
reduction in the indoor sound levels of homes located within
the program mitigation area.
To assist sponsor -approved noise programs, FAA pub-
lished AC 150/5100-9A in July 1993, which announced the
availability of the Guidelines for the Sound Insulation of Res-
idences Exposed to Aircraft Operations (Guidelines). The
Guidelines themselves were published in 1992 for military
and FAA airports programs to serve as a project management
handbook for studying, initiating, and implementing sound
insulation measures developed under airport noise compati-
bility programs.
The Guidelines were updated in 2005 by the U.S. Navy
for application at military airports. The Navy updated the
guidelines to meet their current program objectives and to re-
flect current building codes and insulation product specifica-
tions. A similar update of the Guidelines would also benefit
FAA airport noise programs. However, the update for FAA
programs would need to retain and update the FAA -approved
project management and ALP grant management require-
ments.
The objective of this research is to develop updated
guidelines and to expand and refine the guidelines to include
application and evaluation tools and guidance for airports to
effectively manage noise insulation programs conformance
with FAA Noise Compatibility Program (NCP) and AIP fund-
ing requirements.
The guidance will provide current best practices of sound
insulation project management and sound insulation testing
and evaluation specifications to ensure AIP grant acceptance
goals and objectives are being met on funded projects. The
guidelines will account for current insulation product and in-
stallation standards and requirements.
Effective methods to test, evaluate, and possibly certify
insulation work for updated building and environmental
codes and standards will be developed that may be relied on
for acceptance of FAA -assisted noise insulation projects.
Also, an energy conservation standard to be measured for
sound insulation measures will be developed if determined
feasible.
Project 2-25:Reducing Emissions and Noise
through Bridge -Based Systems ($200,000)
Concerns about the environmental effects of aviation
have increasingly focused on emissions and noise from air-
port operations—including aircraft; the ground equipment
that services aircraft; and the vehicles that transport passen-
gers to, from, and within airport grounds. One particular con-
cem has been running onboard aircraft auxiliary power units
(APUs) for heating and cooling while aircraft are stationed at
the gate.
Over time, running onboard APUs for heating and cool-
ing is considerably more expensive for an airline because
they burn jet fuel. It is potentially more economical for these
amenities to be available, via airport infrastructure, while an
airline is using a gate. For example, the diesel -powered pre-
conditioned air units, along with ground-based electrical
power, can replace the use of an aircraft's onboard auxiliary
power unit, which runs on jet fuel. The ground-based units
bum about 10 times less fuel than APUs, meaning the bridge -
Airport Noise Report
August 14, 2009 98
based units will significantly reduce costs and benefit the en-
vironment by lowering noise and carbon emissions.
Having bridge -based HVAC options enables airports and
airlines to choose the best system, taking into account emis-
sions, infrastructure, and operating/maintenance costs.
The objective of this research is to reduce airport/airline
noise and emissions by utilizing ground- and bridge -mounted
HVAC systems and standardization of airport gate utilities
providing heating and cooling flexibility for airlines.
The expected products of this research are: (1) a review
of successful ground- and bridge -based HVAC systems for
use at major and medium-sized airports, in conjunction with
recent surveys and case studies demonstrating the efficacy of
the HVAC devices; (2) a benefits comparison of reduced en-
ergy consumption and emissions (both criteria air pollutants
under the NAAQS and greenhouse gases) and reduced noise
associated with the airport -based bridge -oriented HVAC
units versus the status quo; and (3) survey airport managers
on the feasibility and potential problems of bridge -based
HVAC systems.
Project 2-26: Evaluating the Impact of Aviation
Noise on Learning ($450,000)
Community concerns over the effects of noise on chil-
dren's learning present potential barriers to airport expansion
and can contribute to delays in capacity improvements. Con-
siderable evidence demonstrates that chronic exposure to
noise is associated with reading deficits in children.
Recent research conducted for the EU suggests that a
5dB-increase in noise exposure translates to a 2 -month delay
in reading scores. Furthermore, a pilot study for the Federal
Interagency Committee on Aviation Noise (FICAN) found
that low -performing students' test scores were more likely to
improve after their schools were insulated against aircraft
noise. An important remaining question is the level at which
learning impacts occur.
In FY07, the FAA awarded $56.5 million in grants to in-
sulate public buildings — mostly schools — often based on a
criterion of Day -Night Average Sound Level (DNL) 65 dB.
There has been no research to date to identify whether this
criterion is appropriate for identifying noise impacts on
schools.
The Environmental Working Group (EWG) Science and
Metrics Standing Committee of the Joint Planning and De-
velopment Office (JPDO) has proposed metrics to the EWG
Policy Standing Committee for consideration in their prepa-
ration of the EWG environmental targets. The Working
Group has proposed that JPDO use as a metric the number of
students exposed to noise levels that affect leaming, but has
also identified a need for further development of this metric.
The objective of this research is to collect and summarize
current research on the impacts of noise on learning and re-
late this information to aviation noise and airports.
Project 2-27: Aircraft Taxi Noise Database for
INM and AEDT ($150,000)
FAA's Integrated Noise Model (TNM) is the agency's re-
quired tool for NEPA-related studies and FAR Part 150 stud-
ies. The transition of INM into the Aviation Environmental
Design Tool (AEDT) is a prime example of the commitment
of FAA to improving aviation environmental assessment
computational capabilities.
The AEDT program will achieve an important milestone
in integrating FAA legacy tools and improving on their accu-
racy and functional capability to assess airport noise. For in-
stance, improvements include changes in acoustic, emissions,
and performance modeling capabilities, as well as improve-
ments to noise -power -distance (NPD) curves, lateral attenua-
tion algorithms, and relative -humidity absorption.
ACRP recently contributed a key improvement to the
noise modeling tools through Project 11-02/Task 8, "En-
hanced Modeling of Aircraft Taxiway Noise." The objective
of this scoping project was to determine the best way to
model airport noise from aircraft taxi operations and to create
a plan for implementing a taxi noise prediction capability into
INM in the short term and AEDT in the longer term.
One of the outcomes of the project revealed that the pri-
mary weakness for taxi noise modeling is related to a defini-
tion of engine source noise characteristics—level, spectra,
and directivity. Currently, there is no direct noise database for
taxiing operations—within the current DW AEDT models;
source noise is obtained through an approximate extrapola-
tion of NPD data. For long-term requirements it was sug-
gested that additional measurements be made for taxi
operations where synchronized noise and engine operating
parameters can be obtained, so as to determine the noise sen-
sitivity at low thrust settings and allow a realistic evaluation
of breakaway thrust impact. This would require a consider-
able field measurement effort with extensive coordination
with cooperating airlines.
A short-term solution to the problem, suggested in the
ACRP Project 11-02/Task 8 report, is to develop a noise,
spectral class, and directivity database for a nominal taxi
state by processing existing measurement data from a study
conducted at Madrid Barajas International Airport.
Although comprehensive, this measured dataset does not
address all aircraft in common use at U.S. airports and needs
to be supplemented with additional measurements for spe-
cific aircraft types. These measurements will record a suffi-
cient number of taxi operations in order to develop
statistically valid nominal taxi operating state source charac-
teristics. The resulting database will remove the weakness in
the current INM noise database and allow for much improved
taxi noise estimates.
The objective of this research is to use existing measured
data, supplemented by a modest measurement program, to
develop a comprehensive database of Noise/Spectral
Class/Directivity characteristics for commercial aircraft oper-
ating at U.S. airports.

The Federal Aviation Administration plans to hold its first noise research road-
mapping workshop the week of December 7th in Washington, DC. Details regard-
ing the workshop are still being worked out and are expected to be announced in
September.
FAA plans to hold a series of noise road -mapping workshops over the next year
or more to help it develop a more systematic, effective, and complementary aircraft
noise research program.
The agency hopes through this process to gain input from a broad range of na-
tional and international experts who will help the agency define the current state of
knowledge on aircraft noise effects, identify research gaps, and determine what
needs to be done to close those gaps (21 ANR 53).
As a starting point for its first road -mapping workshop, the FAA will issue a re-
port on expert input it will receive at a forum to be held on Aug. 27 on the topic of
what research is needed to advance the current understanding of the relationship
between aircraft noise and its impact, such a community annoyance and sleep dis-

That forum will be held in conjunction with the upcoming
INTER -NOISE 2009 conference being held in Ottawa,
Canada, next week.
In anticipation of the Aug. 27 forum, the FAA has just re-
leased a paper prepared by Raquel Girvin, head of the Noise
Division of the FAA's Office of Environment & Energy, enti-
tled "Advancing Aircraft Noise Impacts Research; A White
Paper."
The White Paper can be downloaded along with this
week's issue of ANR.
Girvin states in her paper that critical research is needed
to advance noise impact analysis, mitigation, and land use
compatibility.
"Despite a large body of research, how best to quantita-
tively characterize the relationship between aircraft noise ex-
posure and its impacts remains a fertile area to be further
investigated, in part because of significant research method-
ological differences. Much of recent research has been con-
ducted outside the United States. The challenge for FAA lies
in determining the extent to which sleep quality, children's
learning, and other aspects of public health and welfare are
affected by aircraft noise, in areas currently considered non-
compatible with aircraft noise exposure [DNL 65 and greater]
as well as areas considered aircraft noise -compatible [less
than DNL 65]."
Critical Research Needs Defined
The White Paper defines "critical" research needs in four
areas:
1. Noise Effects on Health and Welfare:
Determine whether the basis for establishing significant
noise impact needs updating to better reflect the current state
of community response to today's aircraft noise exposure;
and
• Quantify potential noise impact on health and welfare in
areas considered noise -compatible (i.e., beyond 65 dBA
DNL) by establishing correlations between noise exposure
metrics and impacts.
2. Noise in National Parks and Wilderness:
• Quantify impacts to national parks and wilderness areas
exposed to aircraft noise by establishing correlations between
noise exposure metrics and impacts; and
• Model noise propagation from aircraft operations above
18,000 feet AGL.
3. NextGen Noise Modeling Enhancements: Other Op-
erational Regimes and Unconventional Aircraft:
• Model noise propagation from all phases of aircraft op-
erations;
• Model noise propagation for future unconventional air-
craft and engine configurations, and
Investigate acceptability standard and noise impact cri-
teria (metrics and correlations) for supersonic overflights; a
similar effort may be needed for other future unconventional
aircraft.
4. Overall Costs of Aircraft Noise on Society:
• Quantify the societal cost of noise relative to other envi-
ronmental impacts.

NASA
In September, the National Aeronautics and Space Ad-
ministration will begin a study called Sonic Booms on Big
Structures, or SonicBOBS, that is designed to gather sonic
boom data on larger buildings.
The project is part of a NASA effort to characterize the
effect of sonic booms on ground structures. It is part of the
agency's sonic boom reduction technology research to help
make overland supersonic cruise a reality.
In June, preliminary calibration flights were conducted in
preparation for the study. Two Air Force F/A-18s from
NASA's Dryden Flight Research Center generated sonic
booms over Edwards Air Force Base and in surrounding
communities. NASA and Gulfstream Aerospace Corp. engi-
neers monitoring boom recording and measuring devices lo-
cated in the Air Force Flight Test Center's museum and at a
seismometer located on base.
"We recorded nine loud and quiet sonic booms with a va-
riety of sensors, both inside and outside buildings," said Ed
Haering, Dryden's principal investigator for the SonicBOBS
project. "These data will be used to tailor the experiment de-
sign for September's flights," Haering said.
For the flights, the two NASA F-1 8s flew both straight
supersonic flight profiles as well as a unique supersonic div-
ing profile designed to present a quieter sonic boom to spe-
Airport Noise Report

cific locations along their flight path. The F -18s flew in Ed-
wards' High Altitude Supersonic Corridor at 32,000 to
40,000 feet for the supersonic runs.
SonicBOBS complements previous efforts in 2006 and
2007 to measure the pressure and loudness of sonic booms on
both older -and newer -construction base housing.
Window rattle and other contact -induced acoustic sources
are important aspects of the high frequency response inside a
building subjected to sonic booms. The earlier base housing
research showed that indoor noise from sonic booms might
be more annoying than the same booms heard outdoors.
Currently, Federal Aviation Administration regulations
prohibit supersonic flight over land except in special re-
stricted military flight corridors.
A resurgent interest in the last 10 years by aerospace
companies in supersonic business jets that could cruise super-
sonically over land led to several research projects to shape
and modify supersonic shockwaves.
Among them, the Shaped Sonic Boom Demonstrator
Project by NASA, Northrop Grumman, and the Department
of Defense's Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency
(DARPA) and the QuietSpike Project by NASA and Gulf-
stream both demonstrated the successful suppression of sonic
boom intensity on the ground.
NASA s Langley Research Center in Hampton, VA, and
Gulfstream Aerospace Corp., located in Savannah, GA, are
partners with NASA Dryden and the Air Force Flight Test
Center in the SonicBOBS project.
The effort is funded by the NASA Aeronautics Research
Mission Directorate's Supersonics Project, which supports
NASA's Fundamental Aeronautics program strategy of devel-
oping systems level, multidiscipline capabilities for super-
sonic civilian and military applications.
In Brief...
Homes Added to Tulsa Int'l SIP
The FAA recently approved a request by the Tulsa Air-
ports Improvement Trust to amend the Part 150 Airport Noise
Compatibility Program for Tulsa International Airport by
adding 67 homes to the list of homes eligible for sound insu-
lation.
The 67 homes were not included in the airport's original
program because they were located outside the 65 DNL con-
tour. However, the homes are contiguous to a larger neigh-
borhood that is within the 65 DNL contour and included in
the sound insulation program.
The estimated cost of sound insulation in the Tulsa pro-
gram is $40,000 per home. The airport's noise mitigation pro-
gram began in 2000 and is expected to cost up to $80 million
to mitigation noise for 1,672 homes, four schools, and three
churches.
Under the airport's noise mitigation program, eligible
homeowners have the to accept a $2,500 noise easement, to
enter a sales assistance program, or to have their homes sound
insulated under a program managed by C&S Companies,
based in Syracuse, NY.
Birmingham Int'1 Gets $8 Million AIP Grant
Birmingham Airport Authority received an $8 million fed-
eral Airport Improvement Program Grant to purchase homes
in the high noise contours of Birmingham International Air-
port.
The grant will allow the airport authority to buy 45 homes
and relocate approximately 120 people.
Since 2004 the airport authority has been receiving AIP
grants for noise mitigation efforts. Last September, the airport
received a $7.29 million grant to fund the purchase of 69
homes.
Oxford Attorney Wants Buyouts Accelerated
The town attorney for Middlebury, CT, wants the State of
Connecticut to accelerate the relocation of residents living in
a neighborhood in the high noise contour around Waterbury -
Oxford Airport.
Town Attorney Stephen Savarese told the town's Board of
Finance that he wants town officials to consider hiring
Murtha Cullina LLP, a law firm in Hartford, CT, to lobby
state legislators for assistance in moving the residents out of
the high -noise zone more quickly than the state plan calls for.
The Connecticut Department of Transportation, proprietor
of the airport, has estimated that it will take up to 10 years at
a cost of $18 million to $25 million to relocate residents in 72
homes in the Triangle Hills neighborhood near the airport.
Most of the funding is coming from FAA AIP grants.
The state estimated that it would cost $350,000 to relocate
each homeowner.
Savarese hopes the law firm could help the town get legis-
lation passed to force the state to pay for the relocation costs
up front instead of waiting years for federal reimbursement.
CT Group Wants Low -Flying Planes Identified
Rep. Jim Himes (D -CT) is supporting a Fairfield County,
CT, watchdog group's effort to funnel data to the FAA on air-
planes that appear to be flying under the FAA's 2,000 -foot
minimum altitude for the area.
County residents contend that they are seeing more flights
at 600 feet or lower over their neighborhoods.
The group of Fairfield County resident organized in 2008
to oppose FAA's major redesign of the airspace in the New
York/New Jersey/Philadelphia metropolitan area, which di-
rected more aircraft over the county.
They now want the FAA to corroborate their reports re-
garding low -altitude and noisy flights over their neighbor-
hoods.
The week of Aug. 10, Rep. Himes told FAA officials that
he would gather and submit information from the residents
about specific flights that could be checked against FAA's
flight logs for Westchester County Airport as well as J.F.

"It's important that we check the logs of the records of the flights, the
area and the altitudes against what the residents are seeing and measuring.
We could get to the facts," Himes said, according to the Connecticut Post.
The paper reported that Ralph Tamburro, FAA's air traffic manager
for the agency's New York region, said that the FAA "could identify
which planes were responsible for any violations, as well as retrieve in-
formation on them."
"We're willing to look at the information and we're open to speaking
to residents about their complaints," Tamburro said, according to the Post.
Pease Treaty on O'Hare Expansion
The town of Bensenville, IL, was the last holdout in a 40 -year battle
by Chicago suburbs to block the expansion of O'Hare International Air-
port. But the new mayor of Bensenville Frank Soto sat down recently
with Chicago Department of Aviation Rosemarie Andolino for what was
called a cordial discussion which signalled that the town's battle over the
airport expansion was over. In April, Bensenville's alley Elk Grove Vil-
lage dropped lawsuits opposing the expansion after the Illinois DOT
dropped a proposal to widen a road through the town that will be part of a
new western entrance to O'Hare.

MEMO CLARIFIES POLICY ON APPROVAL
OF NON-STANDARD MODELING, METHODS
The Federal Aviation Administration recently issued a memorandum clarifying
agency policy on the process that airport consultants must follow to obtain FAA ap-
proval of non-standard noise modeling procedures and methodologies.
The policy applies to all federal environmental actions for airports, including
Part 150 Study Noise Exposure Maps and Noise Compatibility Programs, Environ-
mental Impact Statements (EISs), and Environmental Assessments (EAs) using
non-standard modeling procedures or methodologies.
The procedures at issue in the memorandum are non-standard data inputs to the
FAA's Integrated Noise Model (TNM), certain uses of supplemental noise metrics,
and alternative noise methodologies. The policy also applies to non-standard proce-
dures involving the development of data inputs for the FAA's future Aviation Envi-
ronmental Design Tool (AEDT).
The memorandum states that airport consultants are required to request Office
( 1 of Environment and Energy (AEE) approval to supplement or enhance INM stan-
dard databases and approaches with `non-standard' data and techniques. This ap-

Airspace Redesign
On Aug. 19, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit an-
nounced that it had declined a request by the State of Connecticut and others to re-
view a ruling by a three-judge panel of the court upholding the Federal Aviation
Administration's controversial redesign of the airspace over the New York/New
Jersey/Philadelphia area.
On Aug. 24, Connecticut Attorney General Richard Blumenthal said he was
disappointed with the Court's decision not to rehear the case en banc and would ap-
peal the panel's decision to the U.S. Supreme Court within the next few weeks.
"I am disappointed by this decision, but determined to redouble our efforts and
continue this fight against the FAA," Blumenthal said. "The appeals court wrongly
denied our request for a rehearing, and I am preparing an appeal to the U.S.
Supreme Court asking it to overturn this ruling and override the FAA.
"These flight paths fly in the face of reason and law — completely disregarding
the impact of noise levels on highly populated areas of the Northeast. The FAA
knew that it had defective data on noise and traffic, but then continued to use it. In-
excusably, the FAA failed to follow its own rules — disregarding less damaging al -

proval must be sought at the beginning of a project before
noise modeling has begun.
Common requests for non-standard methodologies in-
clude the construction of user -defined aircraft profiles based
on local airport radar data and modeling adjustments to cap-
ture the local effects of terrain and ground surfaces.
Ends Ad Hoc Process
Asked what the FAA memorandum means for airports
and consultants preparing noise analyses for federal environ-
mental projects, Mary Ellen Eagan, president of Harris Miller
Miller & Hanson Inc., said, "While not new in scope, this
written policy formalizes and clarifies what formerly has
been a challenging and ad hoc process, whereby consultants,
airport sponsors, and the FAA have at times struggled to de-
fine what is `non-standard' and what level of review is appro-
priate and needed for those analyses.
"We expect this to result in significant time -saving on
noise analyses for federal environmental projects and also
provide consistency among regions and ADO's (Airport Dis-
trict Offices].
"For consultants, it means a predictable process and
schedule for FAA review, as well as a framework for estimat-
ing effort. For airports, it helps clarify the level of resources
and additional time that needs to be factored into the planning
of environmental projects.
"In addition, the policy also addresses noise analysis
using supplemental metrics, and requires FAA approval for
any supplemental noise analysis focused on secondary effects
(e.g., sleep disturbance, health effects, classroom learning,
low -frequency noise)."
The July 28 memorandum, "AEE and Airports Coordina-
tion Policy for Non -Standard Modeling Procedures and
Methodology," is available on the FAA website at:
http://www. faa.gov/airports/environmental/policy_guid-
ance/media/nonstd_inm_modeling.pdf.
"Environmental modeling and analysis is growing in
scope and sophistication," the memorandum states. "New
data collection and development tools are enhancing the
power of environmental analysis, yet such benefits are chal-
lenging the FAA's ability to maintain scientific standards, ver-
ify alternative methodologies, and assure accurate analysis."
The purpose of the memorandum, which was sent to FAA
regional Airports Division managers and regional environ-
mental specialists, is to memorialize current agency policy
and to make sure that the FAA Airport Planning and Environ-
mental Division is in the review loop for non-standard noise
modeling procedures and methodologies.
Protocol for Obtaining FAA Approval
The first part of the memorandum defines a protocol for
obtaining FAA Office of Environment and Energy (AEE) ap-
proval of non-standard noise methodologies.
It requires the airport consultant to submit a documented
request for FAA review through the agency's regional office.
The regional office then forwards the request to the FAA Air-
port Planning and Environmental Division (APP -400), which
then forwards it on to the FAA Office of Environment and
Energy (AEE) for approval.
Project consultants are required to submit well-docu-
mented review packages that will be appended to an EA, EIS
or study report as part of the formal administrative record on
the project.
List of Methods Needing Approval
The second part of the memorandum provides a list of
common analysis methods and whether they do or do not re-
quire AEE approval. The agency said that the list provides
"greater clarification and consistency than before to prevent
errors, save time, and improve our work."
Non-standard noise analysis methods that will need AEE
approval include:
• Any supplemental analysis that involves an impact area
that is controversial or sensitive and any supplemental analy-
sis that involves National Parks and other eligible 4(f)/303c
properties;
• A -weighted supplemental noise metrics that are not
listed in FAA Order 1050.1E or The Desk Reference for Air-
port Actions that accompanies FAA Order 5050.413;
• Any supplemental noise metrics which are not A -
weighted (e.g. Time Audible and frequency -based metrics, C -
weighted metrics);
• Aircraft profiles and substitutions (new aircraft without
approved AEE substitutions, user -defined profiles, adjust-
ments to standard touch-and-go and circuit profiles, military
aircraft profiles, and helicopter operations that do not follow
INM defined profiles and parameters;
• Supplemental analysis that is focused on secondary ef-
fects (e.g. sleep disturbance, health effects, classroom learn-
ing, low -frequency noise), "especially where the discussion is
detailed or impact methodology is proposed, regardless of the
supplemental metric(s)";
• Where new technical approaches and applications are
involved (e.g. terrain shielding, adjustments to lateral attenu-
ation, meteorological parameters, user -defined aircraft pro-
files).
List of Methods Needing No Review
The memorandum also includes a list of noise analysis
methods that do not require review by the FAA Office of En-
vironment and Energy (AEE). These include:
• Use ofA-weighted noise metrics that are described in
FAA Order 1050.1E or The Desk Reference for Airport Ac-
tions that accompanies FAA Order 5050.413. The supplemen-
tal noise metrics mentioned in these documents may be used
without AEE review and approval "if the study only reports
the levels of these metrics," the memorandum stresses.
"Some general discussion of potential secondary effects
(e.g. sleep disturbance, classroom learning, low -frequency
impact) may be appropriate. However, this discussion must
Airport Noise Report
August 28, 2009 105
not draw any specific conclusions about impacts or suggest
that the findings are significant in any way if there are no ap-
proved FAA criteria or standards," the memorandum states.
"Conversely, the discussion must include effective lan-
guage about existing scientific uncertainties and the lack of
FAA assessment methodology, impact criteria, and policy
guidance in the areas examined by supplemental metrics," the
memorandum states.

ternatives.
Blumenthal said he will argue in his petition seeking High
Court review that the FAA's airspace redesign violated Con-
necticut's state rights under the 10th Amendment of the U.S.
Constitution to protect citizens from harmful federal policies.
He contends that FAA violated the National Environmental
Policy Act and the Clean Air Act by basing its estimates of the
environmental impact of the airspace redesign project on
flawed data.
"The constitutional issue is our state's rights to protect our
citizens and essentially the failure of due process to perform
the analysis to meet statutory requirements," Blumenthal said.
"The issues have broad ramifications and impacts regarding
the expansion of air congestion across the county."
A three-judge panel of the D.C. Circuit ruled against Blu-
menthal and other plaintiffs on June 10 (21 ANR 66). The
panel held that the FAA's environmental analysis of the proj-
ect "was procedurally sound and substantively reasonable."
Westfield -.Barnes Airport
On Aug. 27, the Federal Aviation Administration an-
nounced its approval of an update to the Part 150 Airport
Noise Compatibility Program for Westfield -Barnes Airport in
Westfield, MA.
The submitted program contained 20 proposed noise miti-
gation measures, of which all but one were approved.
The rejected measure was a proposal to sound insulate
two schools and three churches located "immediately adja-
cent" to the airport's 65 DNL noise contour. FAA rejected that
measure explaining that none of the schools or churches are
located within the DNL 65 contour on either the current or fu-
ture Noise Exposure Map for the airport.
FAA said the airport sponsor "has not provided NEMs
that show a local standard (i.e., DNL 60 dB) has been adopted
by the local jurisdiction with land use authority. Until and un-
less the schools are located within the adopted NEM contours,
the FAA may not consider approval of this measure."
Approved Measures
The following noise mitigation measures were approved
by the FAA:
• Modification of aircraft departure tracks put in place in
1990. FAA approved this as a voluntary measure only;
• Perform a site selection/feasibility study for a noise bar-
rier south of Runway 2 to provide noise relief from F-15 air-
craft afterburners during departures. FAA approved the study
and said that at least a 5 dB single -event reduction would be
needed for the barrier to qualify for federal Airport Improve-
ment Program funding;
• Encourage the use of GPS, RNAV, WAAS, and FMS
equipment to enhance noise abatement navigation;
• Offer voluntary acquisition of approximately 52 resi-
dences contiguous to the future 2014 DNL 70 noise exposure
contour;
- Acquire and relocate a 5 -acre, 58 -lot mobile home park
located within the future 2014 65 DNL noise exposure con-
tour;
• Sound insulate residences within the 65 DNL noise con-
tour and contiguous areas. A total of 364 residences in the 65
DNL contour are potentially eligible for participation in the
sound insulation program. In addition, 52 residences are lo-
cated in the DNL 70 or greater contiguous area;
• Acquisition of avigation easements;
• Acquisition of preventive easements to prevent future in-
compatible development in the 65 DNL contour;
- Modify existing zoning within the 65 DNL contour to
eliminate zoning designations that would allow for noncom-
patible development. Approximately 398 acres of land within
the 65 DNL contour are incompatibly zoned;
• Acquire undeveloped land within the 65 DNL contour;
• Recommend that the City of Westfield pursue the devel-
opment of an Airport Noise Overlay District based on the fu-
ture 2014 Noise Exposure Map;
- Recommend that the City of Westfield include airport
staff during the course of administrative reviews of proposals
for land use development in areas either within the 65 DNL
contour or in another defined boundary, such as the Airport
Noise Overly District;
- Impose real estate disclosure requirements. The airport
manager is directed to continue to seek inclusion of a noise
disclosure statement attached to a property deed and to work
with local real estate professional to disclose information
about airport noise and overflights;
- Modify subdivision regulations to incorporate noise at-
tenuating standards, noise disclosure, or the dedication of
easements;
- Recommend building codes be modified to include re-
quirements to address noise impacts from aircraft sources;
• Establish a noise mitigation advisory committee;
• Institute of Community Awareness Program, which
would consist of educational materials designed to help the
public understand the characteristics of operations at the air-
port;
• Institute a Fly Quiet Program, which would build on ex-
isting noise abatement departure procedures already in place.
FAA approved the measure but said that wording for publica-
tions and signage, and location of any on -airport signage,

must be coordinated with the agency before final issuance; and
• Periodically update Noise Exposure Maps.

MEMORANDUM ITEM 10
TO: Finance, Development and Environment Committee
FROM: Dennis Probst, Deputy Executive Director Planning & Environment (726.8187)
SUBJECT: PRELIMINARY 2010-2016 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
DATE: September 2, 2009
Minnesota Statutes Chapter 473, revised in 1988, requires that the Commission prepare an
Assessment of Environmental Effects (AOEE) which assesses the cumulative environmental effects of
its Capital Improvement Program (CIP) at each of the seven airports. In addition, Environmental
Assessment Worksheets (EAWs) must be prepared for individual projects in the program that meet
certain criteria. Where State and/or Federal Environmental assessments or impact statements have
been prepared, that information is included in the cumulative assessment. The law provides for public
review of the assessments in accordance with the rules of the Environmental Quality Board (EQB). The
EQB rules set forth mandatory review (including holding a public hearing), waiting and decision periods
that must be coordinated with Commission and Committee meetings of the MAC.
In addition, in 1998, legislation was passed (MS §473.621, subd. 6 as amended) concerning local
review of the CIP. The legislation requires the Commission to complete a process to provide "affected
municipalities" surrounding the airport the opportunity for discussion and public participation in the
Commission's CIP process. An "affected municipality" is a municipality that is either adjacent to a
MAC airport, is within the noise zone of a MAC airport as defined in the Metropolitan Development.
Guide, or has notified the Commission that it considers itself an "affected municipality." The
legislation requires that the Commission provide adequate and timely notice including a description of
the projects in the CIP to each affected municipality. The notices must include agendas and meeting.

municipalities the opportunity to solicit public comment and participate in the development of the CIP
on an ongoing basis. Comments received from the affected municipalities will be reviewed and a
response developed.
Staff has therefore developed a schedule that outlines the dates/actions required for the development
of the CIP, the environmental review process and the local review by "affected municipalities"
process. The implementation schedule for the 2010-2016 CIP is attached for your information
(Attachment 1).
The proposed 7 -year Capital Improvement Program (CIP) relating to construction projects on the
Commission's Airport System consists of the following elements:
1. Capital Improvement Proiects - These are projects that have been reasonably defined for
implementation in the upcoming calendar year, in this case 2010. Staff will request authority to
develop final construction bidding documents in order to advertise for bids for these projects in 2010.
2. Capital Improvement Program - These are projects that have been identified in the second year of
the 2010 program, which have a need or potential need but require further study in order to properly
determine the scope, feasibility and cost of the project. Staff will request authority to develop detail
plans and specifications for these projects shown to be in the year 2011 of the program.
3. Capital Improvement Plan - This encompasses the last five years of the total program and consists
of projects that appear likely to be needed during the period. This portion of the program assists in
financial planning and meets the requirements of the Metropolitan Council's Investment Framework.
Staff will be. requesting authority to study and prepare costs to help in analyzing the need and
benefit of these future .projects.
Also included with this memo (Attachment 2) are the following:
Listing of projects.
Cost totals for each category.
Project narratives for years 2010 and 2011.
*As the 2010 Long Term Comprehensive Plan nears completion, the remaining construction
projects will continue to be listed in the "2010 Program". New projects have been listed in the
"Post 2010 Program" under financial sub -ledger headings.
It is necessary for the Commission to adopt the "preliminary" CIP for purposes of initiating the
environmental review and to allow sufficient time for the "affected municipalities" to review the CIP.
The attached project listing includes projects that are primarily focused on the rehabilitation and
replacement of airport pavements or terminal infrastructure to ensure that airport safety, security and
operations are not compromised.
MAC Finance is in the process of determining the funding limits for the 2010-2012 portion of the
proposed CIP. The proposed CIP will likely see further reductions pending the result of finance's
review which will be reflected in the version to be distributed for the November 4, 2009 Public
Hearing.

ResWj:.: ' 4: • rade ProurAW, $2,000,000
A stud oms ' indbergh Terminal was completed in 2009 to develop a program to
upgrade/ r ms at the Lindbergh Terminal. From this study, each restroom was
prioritized as This program would provide for the phased modernization of the
restrooms to inc ded finishes, lighting, resource and energy saving upgrades, and ADA
compliance.
Air Handling Unit Replacement $1,150,000
There are existing air handling units serving the Lindbergh Terminal that were installed with the
.original terminal construction and are over 40 years old. A study of these units has been completed
that evaluated each unit based on its age, condition, and its ability to adequately heat or cool the
spaces it serves. This program will replace ten units that have been identified as needing
replacement phased over a three year period. The estimated project costs include modifications to
building walls to facilitate the removal of existing equipment and installation of the new units, upgraded
electrical and temperature controls and required asbestos abatement.

Conveyance System Upgrades $1,950,000
A study of the MSP campus conveyance systems including elevators, escalators, moving walks,
dumbwaiters, and material lifts was completed by the Facilities Department's conveyance consultant.
The study evaluated the design useful life of each system including the availability of replacement
parts and technical support of the equipment going -forward. Many of the systems are being operated
by outdated technology that is -generally less efficient than modern control equipment. Some of the
systems do not include some of the safety devices or features that are commonly installed on modern
equipment. A multi year program will therefore be implemented to "modernize" and replace elements
of the conveyance systems.
