REPORTS/ CORRESPONDENCE
The Commission acknowledged receipt of the ANOMS Report for
July, 1994. It was noted that Mendota Heights residents
recorded 221 noise complaints with MAC for the month.
Administrator Lawell commented that the full effect of the
City's recent magnet mailing will not be evident until the
August ANOMS report. j.
Commissioner Fitzer commented on the various jet iircraft
�ypes and their relative noise production. In answer to a
q�iestion, Commissioner Fitzer noted that Northwest Airlines
flies both the DC-9 and 727 aircraft. Other "noisy"
aircraft which routinely turn up in the report are aircraft
operated by other carriers. �
The Commission discussed the flight track graphics attached
to the ANOMS report which show the number of aircraft flying
outside of the MAC defined corridor. The data showed that
698 aircraft penetrated the southern boundary during July
while only 9 aircraft penetrated the proposed 095 degree
northern boundary. Commission members were skeptical of
these findings. It was noted that the FAA considers
"normal�� any flight track deviation of +/- 5 degre`es.

The Commission acknowledged receipt of the NOISE Newsletter
for August, 1994. It was noted that Eagan Mayor Tom Egan
has been appointed as the President of the NOISE organ-
ization for the coming year.
The Commi.ssion acknowledged receipt of the Richfield Part
150 Buyout Update for August, 1994.
The Commission acknowledged receipt of the Metropolitan
Airports Commission 1993 Report to the Public. It was noted
that Executive Director Hamiel's remarks in the report
indicate that efforts are underway to expand the flow of
international freight traffic through MSP. Commissioner
Olsen questioned whether it was in the best interest of the
public to actively seek increased air traffic and subsequent
additional air noise into the region. Commissioner Leuman
indicated that a significant amount of freight leaves the
Twin Cities by truck en route to other airports which
provide direct flights to foreign countries.
The Commisaion acknowledged receipt of the District
Representation Map for MAC Commissioners. Administrator
Lawell noted that the MAC representative for our area is Mr.
Louis Miller of Apple Valley. It was the consensus of the
Commission to invite Mr. Miller to an upcomi.ng Airport
Relationa Commission meeting. Administrator Lawell
indicated he would try to arrange for Mr. Miller and
Councilmember Jill Smith to attend the October Commission
meeting.
The Commission acknowledged receipt of information of the
Northwest Airlines DC-9 hushkit program. Administrator
Lawell noted that the information was prepared by Northwest
Airlines, not the MAC. The rate of conversion is expected
�o be approximately six airplanes per month. Chair Beaty
a�ked about the level of noise reduction anticipated as a
result of the hushkit installation. Commissioner Fitzer
indicated that he has heard the maximum anticipated noise
reduction as a result of installing a hushkit package is
approximately 50 percent.

CONTINIIED DISCIISSION OF RECENT MPCA
COMPLAINT RF�GARDING AIRCRAFT BMISSIONS
The Commission acknowledged a memo from Administrator Lawell
dated September 8, 1994 regarding the status of this
incident. It was noted that in a letter to the City dated
September 1, 1994, the Mr. John Morrill of the N�CA has
again declined to become involved in investigating the
recent complaint that aircraft flying over the City
occasionally emit some type of fuel or chemical which
damages exterior finishes on automobiles. �
Administrator Lawell indicated that he will contact a
representative of tne N�CA division which deals with airport
related issues to see if they would intervene on our behalf
in this matter. Commissioner Beaty indicated that it may
also become necessary to involve our area legislators in
this matter as well.
DISCIISS LETTI�R TO GIIBERNATORIAL CANDIDATLS
RSGARDING AIRPORT RELATED ISSIIES
,'Administrator Lawell explained that the Commission had
recently adopted an Airport Noiae Plan of Action and within
the plan there is a section which envisions the eventual
appointment of a City resident to the MAC. Since�most all
MAC Commissioners are appointed by the Governor, the
Commission has decided to ask the top candidates in the
upcoming gubernatorial race for their comments and position
relative to the airport. � .
The Commission reviewed a draft letter to the gubernatorial
candidatea and offered a number of helpful suggestions.
�ommissioner Beaty noted that the letter should st�ress the
rieed to establish an equitable distribution of aircraft
noise within the Metropolitan area. In addition, ;it was
noted that the letter should discuss the inappropriate
geographic distribution of current MAC Commissioners with
respect to the air noise issue. Lastly, it was suggested
that the letter call for an investment of state re'sources to
accelerate the airlines' conversion from older noi�sy Stage
II aircraft to more quiet Stage III aircraft. Commissioners
agreed to call Administrator Lawell with any other comments
or suggestions they may have in the coming week. �

IIPDATE ON IMPL�TATION OF NON-SIMIILTANLOIIS
AIRCRAFT DLPARTQRE PROCEDURES
Administrator Lawell updated the Commission on the status of
having the MAC and the FAA implement a non-simultaneous
crogsing procedure for aircraft departing runways 11L and
11R. Previously the MAC had indicated that the FAA was
considering the non-simultaneous departure procedure along
with a simultaneous departure procedure which would
establish a northern corridor boundary of 095 degrees. In
analyzing this package, the FAA had indicated to the MAC
that a full Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) would be
necessary.
In a letter to the City dated August 30, 1994, Mr. John
Foggia, Manager of MAC's Aviation Noise Program, indicates
that the FAA has now been convinced that the non-
simultaneous procedure can be considered independent of the
simultaneous procedure and therefore will only be subject to
a less exhaustive Fnvironment Assessment Worksheet (EAW).
Furthermore, the MAC has pledged to the FAA to provide
"resources necessary to help expeditiously implement the
crossing maneuver".
It was the consenaus of the Commission
Lawell forward a letter to Mr. Foggia
finally providing us with a reply to 0
asking to be kept promptly up-to-date
progresses. '

REPORTS/CORRLSPONDENCis
The Commission acknowledged receipt of the ANOMS Report for
August, 1994. Chair Beaty noted that Mendota Heights
registered 575 complaints. He stated that the complaints are
up fifteen percent from July. Administrator Lawell noted that
this ma.y be the result of the recent mailings of letters and
. magnets sent to all postal patrons in Mendota Heights. Chair
Beaty noted the increase in flights departing MSP.I
f
Chair Beaty noted the increase in nighttime operations. MAC
Commissioner Miller responded that the MAC is trying to get
voluntary commitments from all operations to extend�nighttime
operations from 10:00 P.M. to 7:00 A.M. as opposed to 11:00
P.M. to 6:00 A.M. He stated the MAC watches �nighttime
activity carefully. He stated he will inquire why Mendota
Heights experiences high levels of nighttime activity.
ln response to a question from Chair Beaty, MAC Commissioner
Nliller stated that it has been recommended that only� Stage III
aircraft fly during nighttime operations. He stated that
there are always delays (specifically related to weather) that
may cause Stage II aircraft to land during restricted hours.
Commissioner Fitzer stated that other airports in the country
have placed nighttime restrictions such as specific time
deadlines and aircraft type. MAC Commissioner Miller stated
that most of those airports have "feeder" airports which allow
them to take activity restricted from the main airport. He
stated the MAC has considered the Rochester airport as a
��feeder�� airport to MSP. Chair Beaty stated that Mendota
Heights experiences a great deal of nighttime activity. He
,� 4
suggested that departing aircraft use the south parallel
runway instead of the north. He stated this would help
alleviate the head to head operations Mendota Heights
experiences during non-peak hours. MAC Commissioner Miller
stated he would present this question to the Commission.
Chair Beaty stated the ma.jority of Mendota Heights residents
complain about departing aircraft. .
Chair Beaty stated that departing aircraft, during non-peak
nighttime operations, continue to use the 95 degree heading.
He stated that does not make sense. MAC Commissioner Miller
stated that the corridor has been examined for twenty years
and that they are still awaiting a response from the FAA to
their most recent request. Administrator Lawell stated that
Mr. Foggia has asked the FAA for a response and that the FAA
feels that an Environmental Assessment Worksheet needs to be
completed.
MAC Commissioner Miller stated that the MAC has tried to get
Northwest Airlines to commit to sound abatement procedures
(fly only Stage III aircraft)e Administrator Lawell stated
that the City of Mendota Heights has asked that the MAC
contractually bind Northwest Airlines to be fully Stage III by
the year 2000.
Commissioner Fitzer briefly discussed ground tracking which
all aircraft have the capability to do through the use of
radials. He stated that the FAA has elected to not use this
procedure at MSP but that it is being done at other airports
in the country.
DISCIISS JOINT MAC/MA.SAC bIl�i3TING
BLLD ON OCTOBER 4, 1994
MAC Commissioner Miller informed the Commission that the MAC
staff was not even aware of the Mendota Heights Airport
Relations Commission. He suggested that the Commission invite
the Department Directors of the MAC to future Commission
meetings. Miller suggested that the Commission invite Nigel
Finney.
�n response to a question from Administrator Lawell regarding
MAC Commissioner distribution, MAC Commissioner Miller stated
that airport noise is not the only issue the MAC is concerned
with. He stated the airport plays an important role to the
economics of the State. He stated the State Legislature is
concerned with the overall balance of airport related issues
and that is why members of the Commission are appointed from
all over the State. He stated the MAC has done a good job in
educating the community.
In response to a question from Administrator Lawell, MAC
Commissioner Miller stated that he is not aware that the Air
Noise Complaint Line is answered by a machine.

Councilmember Smith stated that the MAC has thought that the
aircraft noise has gotten better, but it has not. �She stated
that Mendota Heights experiences repeated overflights. MAC
Commissioner Miller stated that there are no misconceptions
that�the volume of activity has gone up. In response to a
question from Mr.� Miller, Administrator Lawell �stated the
environmental documents regarding extension of Runway 4-22
have mixed messages. Chair Beaty stated it would be a good
idea to use the extension as a sound abatement runway.
Chair Beaty stated he does not understand why so few airplanes
take off over St. Paul. Mr. Miller stated that when Runway 4
is used for aircraft take an immediate right turn'due to the
St. Paul airport. �
The Commission discussed proposed runway improvements and how
it will affect Mendota Heights. {
Administrator Lawell stated that a third parallel runway will
negatively impact Mendota Heights. �
In response to a question from Councilmember Smith,'Mr. Miller
stated that two factors were used to pick a s�ite for a
possible new airport, removal of communities and wetland
involvement. He stated that the communities involved have
roughly 100 residents. He stated that a remote runway site
could be conaidered and that shuttles could be used.
Mr. Miller inquired what the City's position is on'�Dual Track
planning. Administrator Lawell stated that the City has
adopted a resolution in support of the dual track process and
that the Council has not taken a position favoring either
track. Mr. Miller stated that the final decision fis not the
MAC's but the legislature's. Mr. Miller stated that Mr. Jeff
Hamiel has not taken a position but that he does believe that
expanding the current airport or constructing a new airport
will be necessary. �
�ir. Miller stated that the Joint MAC/MASAC meeting went well.

The Federal Aviation Administrahon (FAA) Regalation "Part 150" Airport Noise and Land U:
Compatibility Pla�uiing Program .consists of several different land use options designed to make ;
neighborhoods located near airports more compafible with airport noise. �"
The FAA determines eligibiliry for Part 150 programs by using an approved "five-year" DNL'�
(day-night level) noise contour. This noise contour represents a five-year projection of the year]
average at the Minneapolis-St Paul Intemational Airport (MSP) in 1q96 (see 1996 MSP DNL 65
contour illustra�on on page 8). Tlus 1996 DNL 65 noise contour will be updated upon FAA req�
physical or ogerational changes arise at MSP. ' � � , �
Part 150 funding for eligible residents is t�eing provide�i on a yearly basis by both the FAA an
Metropolitan Airports Commission (MAC). � -
In April 1g91, the MAC formed the Part 150 Policy Advisory Committee (PAC) consistinng of 1
representatives from Bloomington, Minneapolis, Richfield, Eagan, Mendota Heights, St Paul, Me
Council, Metropolitan Aircraft Sound Abatement Counal and FAA to assist MAC in the developme
design of the Part 150 programs that would be implemented in the communities closely surroun
In February 1992, the PAC recommended to MAC the following two primary Part 150 progr�
implementaflon at MSP: �
• Sound Insulation Program
• Land Acquisiflon Program
Each city is responsible for selearon of the above Part 150 programs for eligible areas, dep�
their specific city land use plans.
The Sound Insulation Program will most likely be the largest of the MSP Part 150 programs
implemented by the MAC in the afles of Minneapolis, Bloomington, Richfield, Eagan and Mendo
While MAC will have overall responsibility for implementing the Sound Insulation Program,
partiapatir►g aty will be responsible for notiffying homeowners within priodtizzed blocks. Althou€
homeowner parflapation in this program is not mandazory, it is encouraged.

Noise travels from

through doors, windows,
walls and the roo£ The
Sound Tnsulation Program
can treat each of these noise
padis to reduce the amount of
noise entering a house.
Noise entering living
areas through walls and the
roof is reduced by baIDing
roof vents, installing
dght-fitring chunney dampers
and providing insulation. -

�� . Y� windows and storm doors are
the primary means of
i ii=m = ii �mi�im reducing the amount of noise
�IIUI�1�=qIIL
entering the house through
. ; windows and doors. �
Typically, prime windows are recondifloned and prime doors weatherstripped in order to provide even
greater noise red.uction. In the most severely impacted areas, prime doors may be replaced with solid core
prime doors. - � ' .
Air condihoning is also provided so that residents can enjoy the benefits of sound insulation year-round.
Houses eligible for central air condiaoning include those currendy without air conditioning and those
curre'ndy having only window-mounted units. �
Sound insulahon is most effecave when all noise paths entering the house provide the same resistance
to noise transmission. By treating doors, windows, vents and insulation, the MSP Part 150 Sound Insulation
Program 5 decibel Reduction Package achieves the FAA's noise reduction guidelines.

�
�til�o deeides what type of modifieations will be done to �e homes?
The MAC Sound insulation Consulcant Team wil! recommend saund insulation m�
hased on
an analysis of each home and iks relationship to the 19q6 DNL (day-night level) noise contour arid FAA
eligibiliiy criteria. The FAA requires retl�c�tions to tlie home of at least 5 decibels. Fiomeawners witl have
some choices in the modifiicarian design process, as long as adequate noise reduction is achieved and
modifications meet established FAA guidelines. �
Will �e program reim�u�se par�icipants for imp�ouements made previousiy?
Accortlir�g ta ihe FAA guideelinnes, improvements made prior to participation in che Sound Ir�siztation
Program are not eligible for reimbucsemen� However, eligible homeowners who have already made
improvements are encouraged to �plore fuu�her benefits which the Sound Ir�sulaa�tion Prog��am can make to
their internal environment.
Will air conditioning �e prauided?
Central air condifloniang will. be pravided a�ly to participating hameowners who do not currendy have
i�. Air conditianing wi�t be installed regardiess of the existing �yge of heating system. MAC is one of just a
few U,S. air�wrt aut�orities that rnclude air conditioning as part of the sound insulation package.
Can homeowners haue addi�anal cans�uction w�rk done at �e same time?�
Additional work will bs limited to acoushcal upgrades above and beyand FAA guidelines. Homeowners
wiil assufne the adcli�onal e�ense and �i�ty, and be required to sign a reiease �orm.
Will quaiifiy praducts he used? �
Effective acous�cai insutation demands weil-designed and wei�-buiit windaws and daors. The quaizty af

Has the MSP Part 150 Saund lnsulation Program proued effectiue in neiqhhorhoa�s
sarrounding the airport?
Yes. Since the �e��nrti�ng of the program, more tban 90 percent of the hameciwners surveyed reported
a quieter home, making it easier far them to talk on the phone, watch TV, sleep or just rela�c. In fact,
aPProxi�r�atety 95 percent of homeowners saici they would recommend the pragram to their nei�bors.
What is tl�e ONt (day-night leuef) and how is ii calculated?
DNL is a noise descriptor used to describe aircxaft noise impacts an communiaes surraund'uig airpa�ts.
DNL also assists communities in developing land use plans for property surraunding airports.
The FAA uses a computer model cailed fhe Integrated Noise Model (INM), which takes into account
aircraft flight paths, number of tiger�tions and inclividual. aircraft tlyover noise, to det�elop cantaurs of equal
DNL value. To refleci a person's inare�ased sensitivvity to noise between 10 p.m. and 7 a.m., a lOdBA penalry
is applied to noise events occurring during this nighttime period. These contours are then mapped to
reflect the average naise of takeoffs and �andirtgs aver a year's time.
�The FAA's INM methodology is universally recognized and applied at all U.S. airpar�s.

As you are aware, the MAC is currently in the ;process o�
preparing an Al�ernative Environmental Document (AED) for its MSP
Long Term Comprehensive Plan (LTCP). Previousl�r excerpts of this
document were distribu�ed to Gommission members and at our las�
mee�ing we discussed various questions and unresalved issues
related to the AED, �
On October 26, 1994 �he MAC conduc�ed a public hearing a�.
Washburn High School in Minneapolis ta al].ow the �public an
opportunity to comment on the document. The intent of this memo
is �o recap the results of the pu.�,lic hearing and to discuss the
prepara�ion of �he City' s written comments on the AED which are due
by Navember 25, 1994.
DISCIISSION •
At�ached please find a copy of a flyer enti�led "Dual Track
Update - October 1.994 �� which was d�.stributed �.o those �present at
the pub7.ic hearing. The flyer doe� a goad j ob desc'ribing the four
alter.�xiative airpor�. expansion options under consideration. Once
agairr� the flyer seems ta favor the construction o� the rior�hjsouth
runway over the additian of a new north parallel but na assurances
are given. The flyer notes tha�. the MAC will make a fznal decision
on the preferred plan �or MSP in February 1995. 1
At the public hearing held October 26th the City o� Mendota
Heights was fairly well represented. Those presen�. included Mayor
Mer�.ensotto, Cauncilmembers Huber and Smith, Planning Gomm�.ssioners
Duggan and Koll, Airport Relations Commissioners Beaty ;and S�.ein,
City Administra�or Lawell and a few city �esidents, Those offering
public �.estimony included Mertenso�.to, Beaty and Lawell.. � A summary
of a portion of the testimony delivered i� at�.ached.
Overall the public hearing was very poorly attended. I
estimate the total number of people present was approximately 100.
Most of those present were residents and representatives of the
City of Minneapolis. Surprisingly, no one from Bloomington was
present to speak and only one person from Richfield offered
testimony. The City of Inver Grove Heights had several people in
attendance and two offered public comments.
Based on my observation of the meeting, the consensus of those
offering public comments clearly favored the north/south runway
over the north parallel runway. Most speaking on behalf of
Minneapolis preferred that the airport be moved in its entirety,
but when a preference was stated, the north/south runway was
clearly preferred. Those commenting from the City of Inver Grove
Heights also agreed. More detailed information regarding comments
offered at the meeting and Chair Beaty's overall recollection of
the hearing can be discussed on Wednesday.
In terms of submitting written comments to the MAC by November
25th, it is my intent to have a draft letter before the City
Council at their November 15th meeting. Previously the Commission
has discussed some of the elements which should be included within
the letter and, based on the testimony heard at the public hearing,
several additional comments should probably be added. Attached to
this memo please find a list of the various topics we should likely
address in the City's formal written comments.
In addition, it should be noted that several residents have
contacted City Hall to say they were unable to attend the public
hearing but still wished to help out. These residents volunteered
to write additional letters to the MAC in opposition to the
construction of a third north parallel runway, and we will
hopefully receive copies of their letters in late November.
ACTION REQIIIRED
Discuss the outcome of the MAC public hearing regarding the
draft LTCP AED and provide feedback on elements which are proposed
to b� included in the City's formal written comments to the MAC due
by Nduember 25, 1994.

MAC UPDATING MSP PLAN' ENVIRONMENTAL DOCUMENT UNDER REVIEW
As required by che
Metropolitan Airport Planning
Act of 1989, the Mecropolican
Airports Commission is
updacing che Long Term
Comprehensive Plan (I.TCP) for
Minneapolis-St. Paul
In�ernacional Airpor� (MSP).
The original LTCP was
completed in 1991.
The LTCP is intended �o
identify che besc way to develop
MSP in order�to accommodace
aviation demand in the year
2020, if this option is selected
by the Minnesota Legislature.
In conjunction with the
update, a Draft Alterna�ive
Environmen�al Document
(AED) has been prepared to
identify and describe the
communiry and environmencal
impacts of each MSP
development alternative. The
Draft AED is currendy
available for public and agency
review and commpnt. A public
hearing was held on Oct. 26.
Four alternatives are being
analyzed:
• Alternative 1 - the
addition of a north parallel
runway and an additional east
terminal.
• Alternative 2- the addition of a
nor�h parallel runway with a replacement
west terminal.
• Alternative 5-�he addition of a
norch-south tunway and an additional eas�
terminal.
• Alternacive 6- the addition of a
norch-souch runway with a replacement west
terminal.
According to Nigel Finney, MAC
Depu�y E�ecucive Direc�or, Alcernatives 3
and 4(n�liich included a new south parallel
runwa}� combined wi�h either an additional
easc terminal or a replacemenc west cerminai)
were eLminated from furcher consideration
during che scoping process because of
significant opei acional and no�se concerns.

MAC DEVELOPING LAND USE STRATEGY
The MAC is identifying potential land
use stracegies for controlling development
around both MSP and a potential new
airpon. Two key issues will be addressed by
the land use controls: safery and noise.
After reviewing federal, state and local
land use strategies, as well as successful
programs at other major airports azound the
country, the MAC prepared a draft discussion
paper which describes various strategies that
can be followed for either MSP or a new
airport. The paper idencifies areas of land
around che airpott where controLs would be
desired and proposes various ways of ensuting
compatibility.
Areas potentially identified are Federal
Runway Protec�ion Zones and State Safety
Zones, which aze designed to discourage both
residential and commercial development, and
DNL (day-night level) noise contours which
identify areas where noise-sensitive land uses
(including homes, schools, places of worship
and hospitals) would be incompatible.
"The MAC will investigate various
means of controlling development and
mitigating negacive impacts, including
property acquisition, obtaining easemencs,
soundproofing and changes in zoning," says
Nigel Finney, MAC Deputy Executive.
Director. "Considering the intensity of
development already in place at MSP, land
use concrol chere will be more dif�icult chan
at the potential new airport site."
To date, che drafc land use scracegy
discussion paper has been reviewed by che
New Airport and MSP Technical
Committees and che Dual Track Task Force.

CITY OF N�TDOTA H$IGHTS
TESTIMONY BLFORE THE METROPOLITAN AIRPORTS
MSP LONG TLRM COMPRLHENSIVR PLAN - ALTERNATIVE
ENVIRONN�TT DOCDMENT PIIBLIC HEARING OCTOBER 26,+1994
Thank you for the opportunity to testify on this issuelof great
importance to our community. When the City of Mendota(Heights
establishes its target issues each year the topic of airport
noise is consistently ranked as the top issue facing the City.
Therefore, it is with great interest and resolve that I stand
before you to speak on behalf of our community. I
In reviewing the Alternative Environmental Document (AED) it is
evident that the ground being turned in the document is not new.
You will hopefully recall the MAC sponsored Interactive Planning
Group which in 1991/1992 considered the issues surrounding long
term development at MSP. Supported by the MAC staff arid
consulting work by HIVTB, the Interactive Planning Group concluded
that if MSP is to remain in its present location, the best runway
expansion alternative is the north/south runway along Cedar
Avenue. This recommendation was adopted by the MAC and has been
designated as the "preferred option" in the MSP Long Term
Comprehensive Plan. I
In further support of the selection of the north/south�runway as
the preferred MSP expansion option, a Capacity Enhancement study
was conducted by the U.S. Department of Transportation,� Federal
Aviation Commission and the MAC which quantified the relative
merits of the various runway expansion options. In comparing the
effects of a new north/south runway vs. a new north parallel
runway, the FAA noted that the north/south runway is tYie superior
choice by all measures: cost of construction is lower,� the
number of hours of delay is less, and the overall flexibility of
operating the airport is enhanced. �
As a community which would be severely impacted by the other
runway expansion alternative, a third parallel runway aimed
directly at the heart of our community, we were obviously pleased
with �he outcome of the Interactive Planning Group's effort, the
MAC's'-�endorsement of the north/south runway, and the FAA's
Capacity Enhancement Plan which also clearly favors the�
north/south runway. In reviewing the current Alternative
Environmental Document, we see nothing which would modify the
selection of the north/south runway as the preferred expansion
option for MSP. �
Contained within the document are a number of representations
with which we must take issue. Our concerns include:
Historical Properties
In close proximity to the proposed new north parallel runway lies
the historic properties of Fort Snelling. These properties are
officially recognized as the Fort Snelling National Historic
Landmark District and the Old Fort Snelling National Register
Historic District. Contained within the boundaries of these
districta are properties dating back to the 1800's, representing
an important slice of history for the State of Minnesota and, for
that matter, the Nation. The proposed north parallel runway
would not only move aircraft noise, vibration and other
pollutants closer to these valuable properties, but would
actually destrov a number of historic structures. Whereas a
buainesa can be replaced, a historic landmark of the State and
Nation cannot. To seriously consider a runway expansion
alternative which involves the demolition of such valuable
historic properties is foolhardy. (pages III-25-28)
Runway IIse Restrictions - Part 1
The proposed new north parallel runway is described in the AED as
a runway which would "function principally as an arrival
(landing) runway" (page II-1). In reviewing the AED we were
quite curious to determine the meaning of the word "principally��
as used in this context. We found our answer on Figure 21 where
the proposed flight tracks for the new runway are shown. This
figure reveals that absolutely no departure traffic is envisioned
for this runway. If this is the case, the document should
clearly state that no departure traffic would be allowed off of
this proposed runway. Further, the document should then go on to
clearly describe how this prohibition would be established,
communicated and enforced in perpetuity.
If it is not true that departures will be absolutely prohibited
off of this runway, then the flight tracks shown on Figure 21 are
in error. If the flight tracks are in error, the noise exposure
contours are equally invalid and DNL 65 and DNL 60 population
count� are vastly understated.
.�
Ruaway IIse Restrictions - Part 2
On Figure 21 a number of flight tracks off of the existing north
parallel runway are depicted. Departures off runway 11L over
Mendota Heights seem to indicate that aircraft are directed to
fly to the middle of the Minnesota River before they are issued
instructions to turn left. This is not the case. Air Traffic
Control routinely assigns departure headings to aircraft prior to
brake release and pilots ma.y initiate their turns long before
they reach the Minnesota River. Earlier turns push aircraft
further and further north into our community and Figure 21
clearly does not reflect this fact.

Mendota Heights, Minnesota 55118
Dear Mayor Mertensotto:
Thank you for yaur recent letter regarding the issue of aa.zport noise at
14�inneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport. The airport is a significant
factor in the future af the State of hZinnesota, and for that reasan, the Dual
Track Airpart Planning Process has been uutiated in order to address the
questians of iong-term viability of the airport. At the conclusion of ihi.s
process, the Legislature must make a decision regarding the lfuture of the
existing airport and the role aviation will play in the future economic
development af the state.
With regard ta tha issues raised in your Ietter, I would offer the fallowing:
1. Noise Distribution
. All communities adjacent �o the airpc�rt are exposed to aircraft uoise in
va.rying degrees. The eJrtent of the impact on a speci�c community is
determined by a vanety of £actors including the level of air trafGic
demand, weather canditions, and preva.iling winds. Tlie parallel
runways must be used a majority of the time due to tlie inability of the
crosswind runway ta hanclle the level of activity. Runway use decisions
are made by the Federal Aviation Administration Air Traffic Control
Tower in the best interests of a safe airport operation.�
�
�� The runway use system currently in place at the airport is an attempt to
address the matter af noise distribution, and it does provide guidance to
be follawed in operatian of the airport. This system recognizes the
physical configuration of the airport, the prevailing wind and weather

conditions and the adjacent communities. The runway use system is
based an the concept of distributing aircraft noise ta 'the extent
practical, within the limits of a safe operation, and has accomglished
this with some degree of success since its adoption by the FAA.
Metropolitan Airports Cammission Representation
The Metropolitan Aizports Commission (MAC} currently is camposed
of 1S members, including the Mayor of Minneapolis, the Mayor of Sa.int
Paul, a chairman, 4 representatives of Greater Minnesota, a.nd 8
representatives from the seven-county metropolitan ai�ea All members,
with the exception of the Mayars, are appointed by tlie Govemor's
Office, and serve staggered terms of four years. The metropolitan
members are appointed from districts throughaut the imetropalitan area.
The airport debate is of importance to the entire sta.t � o£ Minnesota.
Therefore, it is important that all segments of the staie be represented
in the�upcoming discussion regarding the future of the airport.
Statewide resources will be reguired regardless of the �ultimate decision
on airport facilities; therefore, statewide representa,tion is necessary,
The majority of the MAC representat�on comes from the metropolitan
area, which I feel is apprapriate since this is the area most directly
impacted by airport activities.
�
I continue to support the appointed process for MAC representatives. I
believe this allaws far aa a�je�t�ive loo� at air tra�sgortaticn n�eds, and
a.11ows for the balancing that must take place between �the needs of an
efficient and competitive air transportation system and mir�mi�ing the
impact on the communities adjacent ta the airport.
Aircraft Fleet Conversion
Northwest Airlines is in the midst of a fleet conversion Ian desi ed to

e�ensive process, with even the smaller of the new State 3 aircraft
costing in excess of $34 million. �
As you m�y be aware, the MAC has adopted a set af goals for 1995, including
a signi�cant review af its noise policy. Among the considerations is adoption
