(Taken From Ch. 5, "Final Evaluation of Noise Abatement and Noise Remedy Measures" by Peat Marwick, const .. lltants to the Port.) 5. Acoustical treatment of existing structures. This measure was an integral part of the 1976 Sea-Tac/Communities Plan and should be retained. As mentioned in Chapter 2 of this report (p. 2-16), noise grid cells were primarily used to determine where and to what extent acoustical treatment and other remedy programs might be applied within the Airport Environs. However, noise contours were also used to ensure 5-8 DRAFT ,, .• that all possible eligible areas are covered by this and other noise remedy programs. Detailed evaluation of acoustical treatment as a noise remedy measure and its application within the Airport Environs has resulted in development of the following suggested · eligibility criteria for sound insulation: (a) Existing single-family structures located in areas with a noise exposure of Ldn 70 and above in 1980 (present condition-base year) or Ldn 65 and above in the year 2000. (b) Structures/uses identified under the sound insulation noise remedy program included as part of the Sea-Tac/Communities Plan. [Note: Criteria used in the original Sea-Tac/Communities Plan for acoustical treatment involved the ANE (adjusted . noise expo- sure) noise metric. The day-night level or Ldn metric is being used for this Noise Remedy Update Study, in accordance with national trends. A given ANE value such as ANE 40 can be converted to an equivalent <.:!:) Ldn value by adding 35; thus, Ldn 75 approximates ANE 40.…

Airport Noise Remedy· Update--Henr~ M. Jackson International Airport Community Attitude Surveys The Community Attitude Survey has · been completed. It consisted of three separate surveys: a self-administered survey of August Neighborhood Workshop attendees and two telephone surveys. The complete results are presented in a final report which was prepared by McClure Research Company. A summary of the survey results was distributed to all those on the Update's mailing list which includes all members of the Technical Working Committee. For those who requested a final report at the October 26, 1983 Technical Workings Committee meeting, a copy is enclosed. If other Committee members would like a copy of the report, please call me at 382-3327 to make arrangements for mailing. These results will be used in the update of the Airport's Noise Remedy Program in a number of ways which will include but not be limited to the following: *Evaluate the application of specific noise remedies in specific neighborhoods. *Increase the reliability of recommending a noise remedy program which is generally accepted by the community. *Improve the effectiveness of our community involvement program. *Reflect community attitudes in the development of the Noise Remedy Program. 2696p Attachment Distribution: Technical Working Committee: Berwald, Black, Bohrer, Bray, Carver, Conradi, Dana, Dinwiddie, Dodds, Hall, Hamilton, Holstine, Hroner, Jhaveri, Johnson, Kos, Kumasaka, D.

Thank you for taking the time to participate in the community attitude survey distributed at the August Noise Remedy Update neighborhood work- shops. Your thoughts about aircraft noise as expressed in this survey will help the Update staff to develop workable noise remedies. ' In September and October, McClure Resea~ch Company conducted two telephone surveys in addition to the one presented at the workshops. The results of all three are attached. Although the summary itself covers the signifi- cant information, I would like to highlight a few items of special import- ance. The workshop survey {completed by 70% of the 350 participants) was quite similar to the telephone survey given to 151 residents in the general • airpor.t area now experiencing noise levels of 70 Ldn and above. The workshdP attendees proved to be representative of the general surveyed population with a couple of minor exceptions. This important fact ' J indicates that those who are actively involved in aircraft noise issues share the same concerns as those community members who do not often contact the Port with their questions and comments. The surveys are only one of the many tools being used in developing the program • . The results have given the staff a means of predicting likely program participation rates and costs for several tentative voluntary noise remedy programs. The Update, however, is not limited to considering only those noise remedies represented in the surveys. If you have any questions about the Airport Noise Remedy Update, feel…
