Eliminating openings  2. Using higher‐rated Sound Transmission Class (STC) windows and doors  3. Adding mass to walls or ceilings  4. Adding absorptive materials between the studs or joists in a wall    The STC rating is a measure of a material’s ability to insulate against sound; the higher the STC  rating, the better insulating properties the material will have. The MAC’s sound insulation  program uses a standard of 40 STC.    Generally, windows allow more noise inside a home than do walls. Because of this, the more  space windows take up on a wall the more the overall noise protection decreases. Typically,  using acoustical windows does more to improve the sound insulation performance than any  other design modification does.       5 THE METROPOLITAN AIRPORTS COMMISSION’S (MAC) PROGRAM    The MAC’s Residential Sound Mitigation Program within the federally‐recognized 65 DNL noise  contour was very successful in reducing interior noise levels for homes within the most noise‐ impacted areas. According to homeowner surveys, the program has increased homeowners’  enjoyment of their homes by making it easier to watch television, talk on the phone and sleep  at night.    Below are the methods typically used to reduce transmission of exterior noise into a home; the  MAC has employed all of these methods to some degree:      Re‐conditioning or replacement of prime windows/doors     Installing acoustical storm windows/doors     Adding wall and attic insulation     Baffling roof and attic vents     Installing central air ‐conditioning (if not existing)     Modifying ventilation (when necessary for health and safety reasons)      Windows and Doors    A home’s interior noise level can be reduced through differing degrees of treatment. For  instance, some homes may only need their windows or doors re‐conditioned, while others may  need all new windows or a combination of the two.    To ensure the tightness necessary to achieve an STC 40 rating, homeowners may be able to re‐ condition their home’s existing prime windows or doors by:     Re ‐glazing panes that are loose   Replacing cracked or broken panes   Installing weather stripping (both windows and doors)   Adding insulation to weight cavities   Installing vinyl jamb liners   Trimming sides of existing sashes to fit with new jamb liners    In more severe cases, complete replacement of window sashes or the entire window or door  may be necessary.    The MAC’s research showed that adding an operable acoustic storm window to a tight ‐fitting  prime window results in an STC rating of 40. (A typical window with storm can provide an STC  rating between 27 and 30.)    New acoustic products are superior, but are also more expensive. Acoustical storm windows  and doors are significantly different from regular storms. They may have thicker glass and a  higher grade of aluminum, which act to prevent sound from entering a home, and are also very   6 effective at reducing air infiltration. (These products are not available through the standard  building supply stores.) When acoustical storm windows and doors are installed, two inches of  dead air space is created between the prime window or door and the storm. This dead air space  acts to prevent noise from entering a home.    Casement windows alone do not provide a high STC rating and acoustical storm windows cannot  be installed outside the crank ‐out windows. Some options for casement windows include:     Replace windows with custom, acoustically‐rated casement windows with  extra‐thick glass   Replace windows with a new slider or double‐hung window with an  acoustical storm   Add an interior glazing panel to the existing casement window at the  screen location (not recommended for bedroom windows for safety and  code reasons)      Insulate Sidewalls     Sidewall cavities should be insulated to capacity. (This does not apply to homes  with brick, stucco or stone exterior siding.)   Insulate attic areas to capacity, or up to 14 inches, whichever is applicable.   Consult a home insulation contractor.      Baffle Roof Vents    Baffle roof vents in attic spaces to minimize noise transmission while still allowing airflow. A  baffle can be as simple as installing insulation board under the roof vent, while leaving both  ends open to allow the vent to operate normally.     Vent Baffling  - Attic vent baffling  - Roof vent baffling  - Chimney treatment (if required)  - Mail slot sealing     Sealing Attic Bypasses (This is more a treatment to improve indoor air  quality and to keep warm, moist air from migrating to the attic spaces,  helping to reduce ice dams during the winter.)      Install Central Air‐Conditioning    Installing central air‐conditioning or another type of cooling system allows people inside the  home to be comfortable during the warmer months without the need to open windows and  doors for a breeze.    7 Through‐the ‐wall air‐conditioning units are not recommended, as they allow air, and thus noise,  to infiltrate the home.  The method and cost of adding central air‐conditioning depends on a home’s heating system. It  is relatively easy, in most cases, to add a central air‐conditioning system to homes with a forced  air heating system. It becomes more difficult and costly with hydronic (boiler heat) or gravity  (large “octopus” furnace) systems.  Consult a certified HVAC contractor for the best solution for your home.  A Word about House “Tightness” and Maintaining Proper Ventilation  Acoustic modifications tend to make houses “tighter.” For health and safety purposes, the  following is suggested:  Have your indoor air quality tested by a qualified professional. Have your home’s furnace/boiler, water heater, and other gas combustion appliances checked by a professional. Correct any problems with venting or carbon monoxide production. Ensure adequate fresh airflow through the house by installing a quiet, low‐ volume exhaust fan or a balanced ventilation system if necessary. Have your home checked for tightness after acoustical retrofits are completed. TIPS ON CHOOSING CONSULTANTS AND  CONTRACTORS  Prior to signing a contract with a contractor, know in advance what treatments or improvements you are planning to have completed. Invite multiple contractors to visit the home and provide cost estimates on an identical scope of work. Determine whether the contractor has experience with acoustic products or installation of acoustically‐rated storm windows or doors. Determine whether any of the work will be sub ‐contracted. If so, investigate the subcontractor(s) to the same degree as the primary contractor. Ensure the contractor is licensed, bonded and insured. Verify that the contractor’s license is current. Ask for references. Contact the Better Business Bureau to find out if the contractor has any outstanding, un ‐resolved complaints. 8 ADDITIONAL RESOURCES  Wyle Laboratories  W eb Site – www.wyle.com   “New Construction Acoustical Design Guide”  (https://www.highpointnc.gov/DocumentCenter/View/1103/Wyle- New-Construction-Acoustical-Design-Guide-April-2003-PDF?bidId=)   Federal Aviation Administration  “FAA Guidelines for the Sound Insulation of Residences Exposed to Aircraft Noise” prepared by  Wyle Labs, October 1992 (can be found on www.wyleacoustics.com web site)  (http://www.faa.gov/documentLibrary/media/advisory_Circular/150_5000_9a_withReport.pdf)  United States Environmental Protection Agency  “A Do‐It‐Yourself Guide to Sealing and Insulating with Energy Star®: Sealing Air Leaks and  Adding Attic Insulation”  (http://www.energystar.gov/ia/partners/publications/pubdocs/DIY_Guide_May_2008.pdf)  W eb site: www.energystar.gov   Phone: 1.888.782.7937  Metropolitan Airports Commission  Pat Mosites – Residential Noise Mitigation Program Manager   Phone:     612-713-7499   Address:  6040 28th Ave S, Minneapolis, MN 55450   E‐mail:  pat.mosites@mspmac.org  9 Appendix A PRODUCTS INSTALLED BY THE METROPOLITAN AIRPORTS COMMISSION  RESIDENTIAL SOUND MITIGATION PROGRAM  PRODUCT MANUFACTURERS’ CONTACT INFORMATION  A. Mon‐Ray, Inc.: 801 Boone Ave N, Golden Valley MN 55427; 800.544.3646  B. Sound Control Systems (SCS): 23 33 Eastbrook Dr, Brookings SD 57006; SD 57006; 800.334.1328   METAL DOORS  A.

MAC staff conducted a thorough analysis of the eight requested adjustments and presented these analyses to the NOC for consideration in November 2019. Analyses included review of headings, abatement procedure use, altitude of Runway 17 departures and aircraft noise modeling using the Aviation Environmental Design Tool (AEDT). Four of the recommendations were found to be infeasible as they would move air traffic from one residential area to another and/or would adversely affect the efficiency of the airport. The NOC forwarded its unanimous endorsement of the other four requests to the MAC Commission for review. In December 2019, the MAC Commission unanimously approved forwarding the proposals to the FAA. The FAA provided the results of their high-level review in February 2020. This review determined that two of the recommendations, with some modification, had merit and warranted further consideration. The first that the FAA determined had merit was to move departures from Runway 17 with an initial departure fix of COULT and ZMBRO to Runways 12L or 12R; however, the FAA noted that ATC would need to limit the proposal to a departure fix of only COULT and only moving the departures to Runway 12L to maintain safety and efficiency. The other recommendation that the FAA determined had merit was to move Runway 12R and 12L westbound departures to Runway 17 to direct these aircraft over noise-compatible areas of the Minnesota River. The FAA’s evaluation was that this proposal would need to be limited to nighttime operations. Figure 1 below shows monthly departures at MSP with initial departure fix and Figure 2 shows monthly departures at MSP with a COULT initial departure fix. The NOC reviewed the FAA’s response and MAC staff further evaluated the two remaining recommendations in May 2020. This evaluation included comprehensive noise modeling and analysis to determine the potential impact of the changes. One recommendation that FAA determined to have merit was ultimately not supported by the NOC after further evaluation given that residential areas on the north and south boundaries of the Minnesota River would be impacted by the nighttime departures that would be moved from the Eagan Mendota Heights (EMH) Corridor to Runway 17, and therefore not in the spirit of the NOC’s practice to not move noise from one neighborhood to another. Figure 1 – Monthly MSP Departures with Initial Departure Fix Figure 2 – Monthly COULT Departures Modeling results of the other recommendation, moving departures with a COULT fix from Runway 17 to Runway 12L, anticipated that a change of 9.2 average daily departures would be shifted from Runway 17 to Runway 12L. The results of modeling found that most of the area where the number of noise events would increase were over compatible land uses within the EMH Corridor or east of the EMH Corridor. Decreases in the number of noise events were found to occur in western Richfield, southeastern Minneapolis, eastern Bloomington, and central Eagan. The NOC determined that this adjustment could provide relief to Eagan residents without moving air traffic noise from one incompatible area to another and should be forwarded to the MAC Board for support. In June 2020, the MAC Commission reviewed and unanimously supported sending the recommendation to move departures with an initial fix of COULT from Runway 17 to Runway 12L to the FAA to conduct the next step in the process: a feasibility and safety assessment. The FAA responded to the MAC Commission’s June 2020 letter and participated in the September 2020 NOC meeting. The FAA tentatively determined that the suggested procedure was feasible but was unable to do a more detailed feasibility and safety analysis due to the low traffic levels at the airport due to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. FAA indicated that once traffic levels and the use of Runway 17 returned to regular levels, ATC would be able to begin to test this procedure. Beginning in January 2022, ATC began to direct departures with a COULT fix that would have typically been assigned Runway 17 to Runway 12L or 12R when airport traffic demand allowed. This practice is consistent with the request from the City of Eagan and the documented Runway Use System (RUS) at MSP. Figures 3 through 5 below, show departures that utilized Runways 12L, 12R, and 17, respectively, with an initial COULT departure fix. Figure 3 – Runway 12L COULT Departures (2022) Figure 4 – Runway 12R COULT Departures (2022) Figure 5 – Runway 17 COULT Departures (2022) Since implementation of this as a best practice for controllers, there has been measurable change in the use of Runway 17. MAC staff conducted an analysis of departures on Runways 17, 12L and 12R between the hours of 7:00 A.M. and 10:00 P.M. with a COULT departure fix for the months of January through July for 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2022. The table below lists runway use for MSP departures with an initial fix of COULT. As shown, the use of Runways 12L and 12R for departures to the COULT fix has increased 4 and 1 percent, respective to runway, for all time periods. During low demand periods, the use of Runways 12L and 12R increased 17 and 4 percent, respectively. Comparably, the use of Runway 17 for COULT departures has decreased 5 percent in all time periods, and 21 percent in low demand time periods. Implementation of this best practice by ATC has had a measurable achievement of the City of Eagan’s objective to reduce the number of departures from MSP that fly over residential portions of Eagan. At the September NOC meeting, FAA and MAC staff will provide an update on this item.
