The data on the reports is best viewed 2 online as the website is interactive. The December reports are available online, but the monthly summary report for December was not yet available at the time the ARC packet was prepared. B. Summary of MAC Action in Response to Eagan’s Request – Last fall, upon reviewing the Runway 17 Departure Study completed by the MAC, and in conversations with residents, the ARC recommended the Council send correspondence to the FAA asking for procedural changes to reduce aircraft noise over the City of Eagan. The Council approved the letter at the ARC’s suggestion, and sent the correspondence enclosed on pages 15 through 17 to the MSP Noise Oversight Committee (NOC). In November, the NOC reviewed the ARC’s proposal in detail. With feedback from communities and airline representatives, the NOC ultimately forwarded four recommendations to the MAC. On December 5, Mayor Maguire addressed the MAC’s Planning, Development, and Environment (PD&E) Committee to voice Eagan’s support for the NOC’s recommendations. The PD&E Committee unanimously recommended approval to the MAC Commission. MAC Chair Rick King and MAC Executive Director Ryks went out of their way to praise Eagan for how these requests came forward. Specifically, they called out the excellent cooperation and professionalism demonstrated by the residents, the ARC, and the City Council. On Monday, December 16, the MAC Commission of the whole approved NOC’s proposal that the FAA conduct a high-level evaluation of the feasibility and safety of the four NOC-approved requests that originated from the City of Eagan. Enclosed on page 18 is the MAC’s letter expressing the Commission’s support for the NOC action. Enclosed on pages 19 and 20 is a letter from the NOC Co-Chairs detailing the four recommendations the NOC supported. The FAA is in receipt of the letters and will begin their evaluation. There is no timeline on when the evaluation will be complete. Brad Juffer, MAC’s Manager of Community Relations and staff liaison to the NOC, will attend the January 14 ARC meeting to provide an overview of the action that occurred over the past three months in response to Eagan’s letter, be available for questions, and provide an update on anticipated next steps.

The Runway Use System (RUS) calls for Runway 12R and 12L as the first priority for departures. However, Runway 17 is the most frequently used runway for southerly departures in contradiction to the RUS. Requests/Inquiries: •Consider the feasibility to direct departures from MSP with initial fixes of COULT or ZMBRO to use Runway 12R instead of Runway 17. •Vary the use of Runway 17 departure headings to limit the frequency of overflights in neighborhoods Issue #2: More frequent use of the 120, 140, and 155-degree departure headings off Runway 17 has caused a significant increase in the noise burden over residential areas of Eagan. Requests/Inquiries: •Implement an eastbound turn restriction off Runway 17 similar to the westbound 2.5-mile river departure procedure. •Review the feasibility of a new southerly fix located approximately 6.6 miles at the intersection of 35E and Cedar Avenue to which all or a portion of Runway 17 departures could be directed to prior to making their eastbound turn. •Better fan aircraft by increasing the use of the 180-degree heading to more equitably distribute operations currently using the 120, 140, and 155-degree headings. •Could all Runway 17 departures use the 2.5-mile river departure procedure to gain altitude before making an easterly turn to their destination? Issue #3: Westbound departures on Runway 12R are making sweeping, westerly turns over predominantly residential areas. Requests/Inquiries: •Move Runway 12R and 12L westbound departures to Runway 17 to take advantage of the 2.5-mile river departure procedure. In particular, consider this change during the nighttime given this practice already occurs during the daytime. o Or, as an alternative, could westbound departures from Runway 12R turn immediately after departure and follow the river valley to the southwest without impacting residents living in northern Eagan? •Could departures in the corridor be required to reach a certain altitude (e.g. 5000 feet) before initiating their westbound turn? 16 17 December 16, 2019 Rebecca MacPherson FAA Great Lakes Region Regional Administrator Federal Aviation Administration, Great Lakes Region 2300 East Devon Avenue Des Plaines, IL 60018 Ms. MacPherson, As you know, there is a long history of efforts at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport (MSP) to reduce noise impacts from aircraft operations. As Chair of the Metropolitan Airports Commission (MAC), I am keenly aware of the challenges airport noise continues to present in communities around MSP despite the fact we have one of the most extensive noise mitigation programs in the nation. Recently residents in the City of Eagan, a community near MSP, have raised concerns regarding aircraft departures from Runway 17. Use of that runway increased after the FAA implemented new procedures to address Converging Runway Operations. In response to the increase, the Eagan City Council recommended eight procedural adjustments designed to reduce the number of flights over residential areas in Eagan. They forwarded their proposals to the MSP Noise Oversight Committee (NOC). The NOC carefully considered the request and found merit in four of the recommendations. The MAC supports the NOC’s request that the FAA review the four proposed procedural adjustments for feasibility and safety. I ask that the FAA do so and communicate the results to the NOC in writing and present them at a future NOC meeting. Thank you for your ongoing efforts to control air traffic at our airports in a safe and efficient manner while advancing opportunities to reduce noise impacts around MSP. I appreciate the longstanding partnership between our organizations and am confident you will fully investigate the feasibility and potential impacts of the proposed procedural changes. Sincerely, Rick King Chairman cc: Brian Ryks – MAC Executive Director Eagan Mayor Mike Maguire U.S. Congresswoman Angie Craig U.S. Senator Amy Klobuchar U.S. Senator Tina Smith 18 December 2, 2019 Rebecca MacPherson FAA Great Lakes Region Regional Administrator Federal Aviation Administration Great Lakes Region O’Hare Lake Office Center 2300 East Devon Avenue Des Plaines, IL 60018 RE: MSP Departure Procedure Adjustment Requests Dear Ms. MacPherson: The Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport (MSP) Noise Oversight Committee’s (NOC) mission is to provide a balanced forum for the discussion and evaluation of noise impacts around MSP by identifying, studying and analyzing airport noise issues and solutions. Further, the NOC is tasked with providing policy recommendations and options to the Metropolitan Airports Commission (MAC) regarding airport noise issues. The NOC’s membership, which consists of a balance of community and airport user representatives, provides the opportunity for constructive and balanced discussions. This dialogue recently led to a requested action for the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to evaluate the feasibility and safety implications of potential procedure adjustments. Beginning in July 2015, the FAA designed and employed technological tools to comply with new federal safety rules for Converging Runway Operations (CRO) at MSP. Throughout the FAA’s efforts, the NOC received regular updates from the FAA regarding CRO and potential operational changes at MSP. The NOC also tracked changes in runway use, capacity and community noise concerns at the airport resulting from CRO. The commitment made from former FAA Regional Administrator Barry Cooper stated in a late 2016 letter to the MAC was to “minimize the environmental impact associated with CRO to the greatest extent possible.” Changes to runway use as a result of CRO have led to increased concerns in several communities around MSP. In particular, residents in the City of Eagan expressed concerns about increased departures from MSP’s Runway 17. To study the change in runway use, the NOC directed MAC staff to complete a thorough study of Runway 17 departures at MSP. In summary, the study found that prior to CRO mitigations employed by the FAA in July 2015, Runway 17 was used for approximately 25 percent of all departures annually. In 2018, the use of Runway 17 increased to 33.4 percent of all departures. With this information as a foundation, the City of Eagan sought to develop adjustments to departure procedures at MSP to reduce the number of flights over residential neighborhoods. In September 2019, 19 Eagan asked the NOC to consider eight departure procedure adjustments and to send them to the FAA to review for feasibility and safety implications. The NOC carefully reviewed and considered the requests from the City of Eagan at its November 20, 2019 meeting. The NOC considered the potential benefit of each recommendation. Further, the NOC considered the existing infrastructure at MSP and what impact these adjustments might have on the airport. Finally, the NOC maintained its long-held belief that any adjustment designed to reduce overflights of residential communities should not simply reroute or concentrate air traffic over different residential neighborhoods. Using that criteria, the full membership of the NOC unanimously supported forwarding the following four procedure adjustments at MSP to the FAA for review: •Direct departures from Runway 17 with an initial departure fix of COULT or ZMBRO to Runway 12R or Runway 12L unless the departure would impede or be impeded by arrival traffic to those runways. •Vary the use of Runway 17 departure headings to limit the frequency of overflights in neighborhoods. •Better fan aircraft departing Runway 17 by increasing the use of a 180° heading for those aircraft that would normally be assigned a 120°, 140° or 155° heading. •Move Runway 12R and 12L westbound departures to Runway 17 to take advantage of the 2.5- mile river departure procedure, provided the aircraft can be directed to follow the Minnesota River for no less than 5 nautical miles. The NOC respectfully requests that the FAA conduct a high-level evaluation of the feasibility and safety of the above proposed adjustments. Further, the NOC requests that the FAA’s findings be provided in writing and presented at a future NOC meeting.
