MEMO TO: CHAIR MIRICK AND ALL MEMBERS OF THE AIRPORT RELATIONS COMMITTEE FROM: ASSISTANT TO THE CITY ADMINISTRATOR HOHENSTEIN DATE: JUNE 8, 1994 SUBJECT: AIRPORT RELATIONS COMMITTEE MEETING OF JUNE 14, 1994 A regular meeting of the Eagan Airport Relations Committee will be held on Tuesday evening, June 14, 1994, at 7:00 p.m. Please contact me at 681-4603; if you will be unable to attend this meeting. Notification is necessary to insure that a quorum will be present to conduct business at the meeting, especially in the summer. I. ROLL CALL AND ADOPTION OF AGENDA A. Pause for Pledge of Allegiance—In honor of Flag Day, the Eagan City Council is joining communities throughout the nation in inviting its citizens to pause at 7:00 p.m., Tuesday, June 14, 1994, to recite the Pledge of Allegiance. It would be appropriate at the outset of Tuesday's meeting to observe this proclamation. Following the Pledge of Allegiance, the agenda, as presented or modified, is in order for adoption by the committee. • II. APPROVAL OF MINUTES The minutes of the May 10, 1994 meeting, are enclosed• on pages through for your review. These minutes, as presented or modified, are in order for approval by the committee. III. OLD BUSINESS A. Engine Run-up Noise Suppression—At its meeting of May 10, the committee reviewed initial information relative to the Westinghouse Q -Jet noise suppression equipment and requested that staffcoordinate additional information in its regard. Enclosed on pages (� through -L are copies of information received from Daniel Fuller of Westinghouse. Mr. Fuller intends to be in Minnesota on June 14, and has been invited to, participate in the Airport Relations Committee meeting. Whether he will be present or not, staff anticipates that a video tape demonstration of the Q -Jet will be available at Tuesday's meeting. ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: To approve or deny a recommendation to the City Council that the City encourage the MAC- to explore mobile noise suppression equipment such as the Q -Jet, in lieu of the stationary noise suppressor in the MAC's capital improvements program. IV. NEW BUSINESS A. MAC Priorities - MASAC/Aircraft Noise—At its meeting of May 1.4, the Metropolitan Aircraft Sound Abatement Council discussed the top priorities identified by the MAC r� commissioners which are reflected in the list enclosed on page �. MASAC expressed concern that to the extent that this list defines the Metropolitan Airports Commission's priorities, noise management and the Part 150 program appear at the very bottom of the list and received votes from only two commissioners. After considerable debate concerning a formal means of raising the noise issue among the priorities for the Airport's Commission, . MASAC adopted the recommendation to the MAC that 25 audio noise complaints be given to each MAC commissioner with their packet each month. Regardless of the motion itself, a number of MASAC representatives encouraged the body to make formal efforts to keep noise in the top ten priorities for MAC commissioners. Eagan representative, Lois Monson, participated in the MASAC meeting in May. She will be available for questions and comments at Tuesday's meeting. The purpose for having this item on the agenda at this time is to consider a recommendation to the MAC that noise policy issues be reprioritized to be included within the top ten priorities of the commission. The exact form of the recommendation or additional comments relative to it are at the discretion of the committee. ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: To approve or deny a recommendation to the City Council that the Metropolitan Airports Commission be encouraged to retain aircraft noise abatement as one of the top ten priorities for the commission on an ongoing basis. B. Part 150 Clarification of Pre -1978 Priority --Enclosed on pages j1 through J.�a_ is correspondence received from John Neska of 908 Lawrence Avenue, relative to his specific situation, and whether he qualifies for the pre -1978 priority. By way of background, Mr. • Neska moved into a home on Lawrence Avenue in 1977. When he was unable to sell the home, he split the property and built a home adjacent to his original address. He has since maintained his original home as a rental property. He is asking that special consideration be given to his situation such that he may be considered in the pre -1978 group and receive sound insulation earlier in the priority list. Mr. Neska has been invited to be present at Tuesday's meeting to further clarify this issue. In general, staff would also appreciate direction concerning appeals relative to special circumstances. While it is probably best to continue to handle them on a case by case basis and staff has not received any other formal requests, comments have been made in the meetings to date by older residents and residents with extremely small children that they feel their circumstances should be considered. Some general discussion relative to these other circumstances should precede or follow action on Mr. Neska's request. ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED ON THIS ITEM: To approve or deny a recommendation to the City Council that John Neska at 908 Lawrence Avenue, be considered a pre -1978 owner for purposes of the Part 150 program V. STAFF REPORT A. Eagan/Mendota Heights Corridor --Enclosed on page dis a copy of correspondence forwarded to the MAC by the city of Mendota Heights. Staff received a copy of this correspondence from the Mendota Heights City Administrator in May. While Mendota • Heights continues to have concerns about thecorridor generally, the letter itself relates only It to the off-peak operations and the need to concentrate them near the middle of the corridor. This is provided for the committee's information, but it may be appropriate to • offer correspondence supporting the basic concept, as the City continues to receive concerns and complaints from corridor neighbors observing the same thing on the Eagan side. If the commission wishes, a recommendation to the City Council for such correspondence would be appropriate at this time. B. Dual Track Airport Planning Process --Staff has no current update to provide on this agenda item C. MASAC Meeting of May 24, 1994—Enclosed on pages � through are excerpts from the Operations and Complaints Summary for the month of April, 1994, distributed at the MASAC meeting in May. At that time, Mark Salmen of Northwest also reported that Northwest continues to retire 727's from its fleet and that its Db aircraft will either be replaced or hush kidded to comply with Stage 2 phase out requirements. D. ENAC Update --Staff has not received any information from ENAC since the last meeting. If any member of that group is present at Tuesday's meeting, it would be appropriate to request an update from them. VI. VISITORS TO BE HEARD Any visitors present at the meeting can be heard at this time. • VII. INFORMATIVE Enclosed on pages '�p throuis a copy of the most recent SMAAC newsletter covering the Minnesota Public Lobby lawsuit and the appeal which is being heard at the Minnesota Supreme Court. VIII. NEXT MEETING The next regular meeting of the committee is Tuesday, July 12, 1994. IX. ADJOURNMENT The meeting will adjourn no later than 9:00 p.m, unless extended by a majority of the members present for completion of scheduled business. v� sistant to City Administrator 3 • Subiect to Anoroval MINUTES OF THE AIRPORT RELATIONS COMMITTEE Eagan, Minnesota May 10, 1994 A regular meeting of the Eagan Airport Relations Committee was held on Tuesday, May 10, 1994 at 7.00 p.m. Present were Steve Soderling, Jane VanderPoel, Pat Todd, Lois Monson, Bob Cooper, Mike Schlax and alternate lance Staricha. Absent were Dustin Mirick and alternate Rita Younger Also present was Assistant to the City Administrator Hobenstein. In the absence of the chair, the vice chair, Pat Todd chaired the meeting. AGENDA Upon motion by Cooper, seconded by Soderling, all members voting in favor, the agenda was approved as presented. MINUTES Upon motion by Vanderpoel, seconded by Schlax, all members voting in favor, the minutes of the April 12, 1994 meeting were approved as presented. NORTHWEST AIRLINES DEPARTURE PROFILE DEMONSTRATION • Hohenstein introduced the item and stated that committee member Mike Schlax had invited the committee to.see a demonstration of the departure profile at the Northwest Aerospace Training Company where Mr. Schlax works. Schlax stated that he had been able to schedule four evenings in which the demonstration could be done. He stated that due to the size of the flight simulators, it would be best if we could schedule groups of 3 - 4 members per demonstration. He said the 727 simulator would be set up to demonstrate both the close -in and distant noise abatement departure profiles required to be developed by the Federal Aviation Admiaiwation. He also asked if it would be possible to combine the airport's navigation aids and noise contours on a single map to'utilize such information in the demonstrations. Staff indicated that such information would be provided to the committee. WESTINGHOUSE RUN-UP NOISE SUPPRESSOR Hohenstein introduced the item and overviewed information in the packet regarding a mobile engine run-up noise suppressor developed by Westinghouse Corporation. He stated that because the committee and City had supported the construction of a 'hush -house suppressor in the past, it may be appropriate to consider this alternative as an item to recommend for MAC consideration. Cooper asked if staff had any information on.how the suppressor worked. Hohenstein stated that additional information bad been requested of Westinghouse and that it would be provided to the committee when it became available. Schlax asked staff to investigate the number of run -ups which occur in a given month. Hohenstein noted that a demonstration of the technology would be occurring in Cleveland in the now future. Cooper asked if it would be possible to get a copy of a video of that demonstration. Hohenstein indicated that staff will pursue that option. Upon motion by Schlax, seconded by Cooper, all members voting in favor, the item was • continued to the June meeting to review additional information from Westinghouse. q MAY 10, 1994 ARC MINUTES PAGE TWO • OTHER BUSINESS Staff distributed MASAC complaint and operations information which should become available since packet preparation. Staff also updated the committee on progress on the Part 150 program, indicating that the City Council had accepted the committee's recommendation to extend sound insulation to all eligible areas in the 1996 contour. Ile committee asked if there was any further update on the request to include a complaint category for aircraft flying out of the corridor. Hohenstein stated he would follow -upon this item. Schlax stated that he had gone to the most MASAC meeting and that MAC staff indicated that the airport is receiving fewer complaints than in the past. He stated that this does not necessarily mean less noise, simply that many residents are too frustrated with the complaint line to call. He stated that it is important for Eagan residents to call so that it is not perceived that the problem has gone away. Monson stated that residents need to understand that aircraft will make noise and that Eagan is adjacent to a major airport. She also stated that the corridor is being used to a significant extent and that people living near it will have some noise impact. She also stated that despite this, residents are entitled to share their concerns if they're bothered by noise events. She said that it is also important to write to the MAC concerning noise impacts in the neighborhoods. Monson further indicated that residents shouldn't be discouraged by the standard operating procedures of the MAC or the noise complaint line. Schlax indicated that a Precision Approach Monitoring radar system will be installed at MSP which will enhance the resolution of the radar used by air traffic controllers and will reduce the required separations and allow for an expansion of operations. He said that at Raleigh Durham Airport the use of this • technology allows up to 17 additional instrument flight rule slots. He stated that he think that the MAC and the FAA look at Eagan as the area to expand operations. He said that impacts may increase if capacity at the airport were to go up. Cooper stated that he was recently monitoring aircraft operations and heard the tower giving headings of 120 degrees. Hohenstein stated that when headings south of runway centerline are given, residents should check wind direction to see whether or not it is being done to blow aircraft back into the corridor. Schlax stated that an aircraft travelling at 180 knots will move about one degree off its initial ground track for every three knots of cross wind. As a consequence, a ten mile an hour cross wind would be sufficient to put an aircraft given a 120 degree heading over the extended runway centerline. After further discussion, upon motion by Monson, seconded by Vanderpoel, all members voting in favor, the meeting was adjourned at 735 pm.

Q-JetTm greatly quiets commercial and general aviation jet engines during ground run- up tests. These tests involve running the aircraft engine at or near full throttle on the ground and are mandatory after certain required engine maintenance actions have been performed. Q-Jetr' is also the least expensive of any available noise reduction system that absorbs noise rather than merely redirects it. Derived from Westinghouse's half -century as a leader in military acoustic technology, Q-Jelfm reduces noise at all acoustic frequencies with no impact on engine performance. It has been proven to reduce noise by an average of 20 decibels in the 50- to 250 -Hertz low -frequency band, which is the most offensive noise band to the httman ear. - over - • is • WESTINGHOUSE INTRODUCES JEr AIRCRAFT NOISE CONTROL SYSTEM -2- Wayne Snodgrass, general manager of Westinghouse's Naval Systems Division in Cleveland,. said, "The ability of Q -Jet to reduce noise at all acoustic frequencies helps promote better community relations with airports and jet engine maintenance facilities and can expand the number of hours per day that testing can be performed." ######### • Note: Q-Jeim is a trademark of Westinghouse Eactric Corporation.

Hamiel: I am writing to you on behalf of the Mendota Heights City Council and the Mendota Heights Airport Relations Commission, it has become increasingly evident to the citizens of Mendota Heights that aircraft departing Runway IIL frequently and unnecessary overfly areas of our City Which are predominantly residential in nature. Current departure procedures clearly do not utilise the freeway/industrial corridor to its fullest potential. As you will retail, in January 1993 the MAC approved a • modified aircraft departure procedure which would establish distinctly different procedures for simultaneous and man - simultaneous departures off runways SIL and iib. Of particular concern to Mendota Heights was the promise to route aircraft departing runway 11L during non -simultaneous operations on a heading of 116 degrees (runway heading). Based on our observations, it is evident this procedure has not been implemented at the airport. I would appreciate receiving from you a update on this issue which is of the greatest importance to our City Council and City residents. i look forward to hearing from you at your earliest convenience. sincerely, CITY OF META HSIMS Tam Lowell City Administrator cc: Mayor and City Council Mendota Heights Airport Relations Commission 1101 Victoria Curve -Mendota Heights, MN • 55118 452.1850 Q002 612-452 8940 05-05-84 ,10:02AM P002 827 APRIL 1994 OPERATIONS AND COMPLAINT SUMMARY Table 1: OPERATIONS SUMMARY - ALL AIRCRAFT Arrival % the Departure thme 04 316 2.0% 68 0.4% 22 194 12% 863 5.6% 11 6729 42.7% 7373 47.9% 29 8511 54.1% 7103 46.1% Table 2: MSP APRIL FLEET MIX PERCENTAGE Stage Scheduled Scheduled ANOMS ino 1993 Aklake Count Mil Stop 2 59.7% 60.6% 595% Stop 3 7403% 39.4% 405% Table 3: AIRPORT APRIL COMPLAINT SUMMARY Table 4: APRELOPERATIONS SUMMARY - AIRPORT DIRECTOR'S OFFICE CJ • ..Jsw 19,94 mw ino 1034 Aklake 1 0 Awkg 0 0 Crystal 0 0 Flying Cloud 7 4 LAke Elmo 0 0 St. Pad 8 7 Nw. 4 1 Table 4: APRELOPERATIONS SUMMARY - AIRPORT DIRECTOR'S OFFICE CJ • Page 1 ..Jsw • AUL CARRIER 703 711 mumflnm 293 7m"� 311 GA 118 133 N Sn HLRARY 8 6 AM FRMM 44 39 CHAKFER • 14 16 Page 1 6 MSP APRIL 1994 COMPLAINT SUMMARY MSP COMPLAINTS BY CITY C1T1' ARRIVALDEPARTIIRE 'PDTAL •PERCENT Arden Hills 4 29 33 31% Bloomington 0 12 12 12% Bmns'iuc 0 11 11 1.1% Cahmbis Heights 1 1 2 02% Eagan 37 132 169 16.3% Edi 2 3 5 05% HnPkins 0 2 2 02% Inver Grove Heights 10 169 179 17.3% LakrMk 0 1 1 0.1% Mendota Heights 11 32 43 4.3% Nbmqdis 146 276 422 40.8% Minnetonka 0 1 1 0.1% New Brighton 1 1 2 02% Plymouth 2 4 6 0.6% Rith6eld 24 47 71 6.9% RoseviUe 0 1 1 0.1% SL Anthony Ydlage 0 3 3 03% South SL Pend 0 2 2 02% SL Anthony 0 2 2 02% SL Paul 43 16 59 5.7% Stillwater 2 1 3 03% SL Louis Park 2 0 2 02% Sun Fish Lake 0 2 2 02% ?OTAt � 746 1&13 RIBA%;;; TIME OF DAY NATURE OF COMPLAINT 6 la Page 2 a w L CI a w • I* Metropolitan Airports Commission Jet Carrier Operations By Type Apa 1994 Aucaft Type Cams h=Wtage B747 202 1.0 B74F 50 03 DC10 845 4.4 NDII 2 0.0 L1011 69 0.4 DC87 22 0.1 B727H 172 0.9 B757 1527 79 EA32 1866 11.7 B733 726 3.7 FK10 737 3.8 MD80 1089 5.6 MD88 158 0.8 MD87 1 0.0 DO 101 OS DC86 3 0.0 DCBS 99 05 8707 2 0.0 8727 3332 17.1 DC9 7491 383 8737 320 1.6 B73S 180 09 FK28 51 03 Tow 14445 ;180'XD r: 40.5% Stage 3 593 % Stage 2 Friday, May 20, 1994 / Page 13 Minneapolis -St. Paul International Airport April Runway Use For Day/Night Periods All Operations Runway Name Departures Day Arrivals Day Total Day Departures Night Arrivals Night UW Night — 04 59 252 all ": 9 65 74 11L 3816 3411 7227 68 19 87, 7314 '- I1R 3359 3256 6615 - 130 .43 1.173 '6788 22 841 167 1698 22 27 49 4657 ' 29L 3454 4110 '.1564 _ , 20 388 .1,409 ,,-,7972 ;. 29R 3615 3919 7534 14 94 108 7642 r TOW 15144 15115 302.19 263 636 _W ; .'1 31258 Percentage 48.6% 485% 97.1%:< 0.9% 2.0°b 3996 i06A ', u 6 0 May 24.1694 l? page 15 Metropolitan Airports Commission • Jet Arrival Related Noise Events For April, 1994 Count Of Events For Each RMT C7 RM11D CK7 ApptatimateStrKtl ..

Excerpts from the written briefs: Amicus Cw7ae of the Attorney General of the State of Minnesota and the Commissioner of the Mimresota Pollution Control Agency. In granting summary judgment to MAC, the trial court (Judge Pamela Alexander) relied entirely on the MAC's affidavits ... and failed to comment on the affidavit of MPL and SMAAC - which identifies some steps ... that MAC could take to reduce Airport noise.... The trial court decision cannot be reconciled with the record before it ... The Minnesota court of Appeals correctly concluded that the doctrine of federal preemption does not entitle the MAC to blanket exemption from compliance with the state noise rules... The decision of the court of appeals should be affirmed. more From the Brief ofMPL acrd SMAAC The MAC has resorted to the cry of every polluter: Compliance will be impossibly harsh and expensive. The law of the State of Minnesota is unambiguous. The legislature ... has set up a state agency with statewide authority over noise pollution. That agency held 1earings and established limits. The regulations were aimed specifically at the Metropolitan Airports Commission. Many measures that could mitigate the effects of the MAC's noise pollution remain untried and even unplanned because the MAC feels it has no responsibility to comply with any standards in this area. If the MACs position prevails, there will be no upper limit on the MAC's noise pollution. The.MAC ( an agency whose commissioners are appointed, not dazed) would be free to reject each suggested mise mitigation measure with the complete security of knowing that its discretion is absolutely final. The MAC derives a major portion of its revenues from landing fees. The MAC has a strong built-in financial incentive to increase traffic and slight noise control. ♦2 SMAAC NEWSLETTER ♦ Frorn the MAC In deciding that the Twin Cities should have an international airport accommodating commercial airlines ... the state legislature also necessarily decided that certain state regulation of MAC mast give way to federal regulation in its place. The regulation of aircraft noise is one such area. In (the trial court proceedings) MAC demonstrated that only three means exist to fully comply with the noise regulation as it presently exists: (1) substantially restrict aircraft operations at MSP; (2) condemn and convert to nonresidential use massive amounts of land in communities surrounding MSP; or (3) relocate the airport. From these Sm MAC argued that the MPCA noise regulation is preempted by federal regulation ... The (MFCA) regulation either applies to MAC and leads to the undisputed results demonstrated in the record, or it does not. If the regulation applies, it does not provide for intermediate compliance. MAC was created by the legislature to ... assure the residents of the metropolitan area of the minimum (italics ours) environmental impact from air navigation, and to that end provide for noise abatement, control of airport area land use, and... promote the overall goals of the state's environmental policies and minimize (ditto) the public's expostm to noise and safety hazards around airports. MAC must function within the regulatory framework created by the legislature and must abide by and give proper deference to appropriate regulation by other state agencies or public bodies. 3( Are you tired of all of this? Sometimes do you get really angry at what our elected officials are allowing to happen to our families in our own homes, a pl= where most people go to relax after dealing with life's other ordeals? ljyorr are mad as @# *l, and won't take it anymore, why not do something about it? Yeah, but what can I do, you ask? Being a member of SMAAC and getting this newsletter is a good start. Calling 726-9411 when things are bad is another thing you could do. You could come to the meeting May 26 and show some support for our organization ..That would be GREATI You could give the membership form for SMAAC, which is on the back cover of this newsletter, to a fiend or neighbor. If each of our members could get one other person to join in our efforts to take back the tranquility of our beautifid neighborhoods, we would double our membership and win this war a lot faster I I I I • 0 • SMAAC NEWSLETTER Annual Spring Meeting Thursday, May 26,1994, 7:30P.M.

Each Mmneapolis City Council Member and each Hennepin County Commissioner will appoint one person to represent them on the task foroe Council Member Mead will appear at the Spring meeting to explain the charge of her task force. ANOMS We received a call on the SMAAC hot line from one resident who asked us if airport noise had ever been measured in his area It turned out he lived near 60th and Elliot, just a stones throw away from Noise Monitor #6. The area around #6 is the worst in the Twin Cities. #6 regularly shows noise events above 105 dB. In September, 1993, the number of aircraft and level of sound recorded at #6 were as follows: 65450 75.94 d9 85-940 95-10/da, >1050 4020 4431 2357 1115 113 The man who called told us he had lived there for 25 years, and that the noise was so bad it loosened all the screws in his home. He had to go around and tighten them regularly. �VlI V I 1 11 : 1 47.7 1:1 .7-7) M. 111 MA 1 1 : 1 II :. 11 4 1 :1 1,11 1.L 1 11A 1 .• 111 M 1 1': 1 ZZISS NW'ue6e3 peoy gouH 1011d OEBE • U86113 10 43 E6 welSUG40H uop XLVH xrInH 8i TS-ZZ8-ZI9 vi" LIKS 'NNI6SI10JUNNINI I� �I 'OS Sf1HWf1703 91 is JvvmS, SMAAC ENROLLMENT -RENEWAL FORM send to SMAAC 5116 COLUMBUS SO.

Norm Newhall, of Minnesota Public Lobby, obtained a grant of $10,000 from the city of Mendota Heights. Dore Mead and Steve Minn are working to get the Minneapolis City Council to appropriate another $5,000 in funds to the lawsuit. If you have not yet contributed but would like to, fill out the enclosed form and send in your donation. Any amount you can give will be greatly appreciated. From rhe Appellate Como Opinion, Judge Parker: 'The issue ... is whether federal preemption of control over aircraft flight extends to all attempts by a state to control airport noise.... Case law demonstrates that almost any state control of individual aircraft, whether curfews, altitude limits, or fines for noise • emissions, is preempted because it potentially disrupts national air traffic.... The owner or proprietor of an airport, [in this case the MAC] however, is permitted to impose nondiscriminatory restrictions on aircraft, even if they directly control aircraft flight. ... We believe that, so long as a state does not attempt to control aircraft operations, thereby risking disruption of national air traflic, it may impose or require measures to mitigate airport noise. • Here is my contribution to the lawsuit I understand every cent will go directly to fighting the Metropolitan Airport Commission: $25 $50 $75 $100 Name: Address: City.
