will lever the FAA into action on behalf of residential, quality of life issues: health preservation, noise reduction, visual mitigation, environmental preservation, and more. Burien is fighting this battle right now, and if it wins it would also change the nature of FAA considerations of flight departures over Normandy Park. tai a Mark Hoppen, ICMA-CM City Manager Generally speaking, however, local, direct lawsuits against the FAA have not resulted in much re-direction of FAA intent or policy. Other actions, currently engaged by local jurisdictions in united effort, may also result in change, namely: 1) the joint jurisdictional response to the environmental issuance of the Sustainable Airport Master Plan; 2) a joint State of Washington/local jurisdiction study of baseline airport conditions (more on that in a subsequent article); and 3) the ultrafine particulates study currently underway at the UW. The ultrafine particulates air quality study being conducted by the UW will provide empirical support for federal legislation that can guide FAA actions consistent with law. Through federal legislation, the study can foster change in airport operational practices consistent with new legislation pertaining to public health. think the chief benefit of the study is that public health epidemiologists will be able to correlate disease and aircraft ultrafine emission measurements. The study itself is just producing the data, the epidemiological analysis will come later. Moreover, the study itself will not assure that the FAA will have to do anything, but of course, the FAA officials working directly underneath the flight path presumably want…

GOAL RELATED TO RELATIONS WITH THE AIRPORT: To establish and maintain cooperative efforts that will assure a sustainable positive future for both the Airport and all four neighboring cities (Burien, Des Moines, Normandy Park, and SeaTac). A Mmle positive future includes ensuring that four cities survive and flourish_ consequent to the long-term growth and operatior.’M Action 1: Focus on connectivity to the regional transportation grid, connectivity and access to the neighboring cities and on the impacts of change and growth in all four directions from the Airport. Action 2: Focus on connectivity and access to the storm water and surface water systems of the neighboring cities and'on the impacts ,of change and growth downstream from the Airport. Action 3: Focus on win-win economic development strategy that ?nat>les the cities around the Airport and Port of Seattle to thrive, that help to achieve local city program initiatives, that foster the Port’s Century Agenda, and that promote the econornic developrnent: requirements of Chapter 53 RCW' Action 4:' Focus on working to cooperatively identify mitigation to local inlpacts of Airport grQwth and operational changes, so that the four cities and Port call jointly focus on protecting the environm.ent, on enhancing local communities and businesses, on supporting res{derItS and visitOrs, and on achieving the other Actions, while avoiding litigation, This means, in part, respecting wildlife, plants, trees and humans throughout the ecology of the airport and its surrounding neighbors. Similarly, it means avoiding excess in regard to airport operations, especially as it regards the…

Ben Sharp <bhs940@yahoo.com> 6/22/2018 5:12 PM Aging sound insulation treatments To sparkerward@comcast.net ShaWn, Although we have never met in person I am familiar with the SI program you managed at King County - before retiring in 2013 1 managed the sound insulation programs at Wyle, and worked closely with Ferdows Fazelli. Since retiring I have been consulting for FAA HQ on sound insulation measurement methods, but recently I have been asked to help them respond to a Congressional inquiry on the aging of sound insulation treatments and to provide recommendations for replacement, and I’m now working on a report. Until recently, I was not aware of any airports that had replaced aging treatments. However, last week I learned that SFO is planning on introducing a replacement/repair program for homeowners who request an inspection to determine if they are eligible. They haven’t yet worked out the details of the program, but it will only apply to homes inside the current DNL 65 noise contour. Apparently the airport is setting aside a small budget for this program. It will not request funds from the FAA (who would not provide funds anyway). As part of my research for the report i have talked to many airports around the country, and this is the only case I know of an airport providing assistance In talking to Michael Payne, he tells me that you are familiar with some aging problems with the windows installed in…

1. FAA’s regulatory “oversight” intentionally ignored the existeace of their own noise metric methodologies as reported by two airports: Sea-Tac (aka SEA) and King County International Airport, (aka KCIA/Boeing Field). Furthermore, FAA neglected to honor their responsibility and duty to recognize valid non-compatible land uses reported in K(:IA’s 2003-2008 Part 150 Study as Recornmendation #1, described as “combined contours” on Beacon Hill. If FAA had properly provided oversight, the decibel measurements for the Greener Skies Program/NextGen flights would have revealed decibel levels above 65 dB DNL for areas of Beacon Hill; and would have necessitated mitigation of hundreds of homes otherwise denied sound insulation assistance. Combined Noise Contours from KCIA In March 2002, King County intenrational Airport (KCIA) submitted its Final Study Advisory Committee’s (SAC) 2003-2008 Part 150 Study recommendations to the FAA and the first of its recommendations included this quote on Page 13 (attached as Exhibit A): “One of the unusual, perhaps unique, features of KCIA is its close proximity to Sea-Tac International Airport (SEA) to the south. The two facilities are so close that their noise contours actually overlap. This Part 150 Study has taken the unusual analytical step of creating a combined coatour for both airports. The purpose of this exercise is to define areas, which would not fall into either airport’s individual 65 DNL and above contour, but which are exposed to 65 DNL when the noise levels aom both airports are considered together. ... .For this reason, the area within the combined KC-IA/Sea..

ShaWn Parker’s notes prepared for interview with GAO representatives: GAO Research Objectives: (1) What factors contribute to public perceptions about aviation noise? The public is not aware of any of these topics listed below and FAA does nothing to add to the public’s knowledge of important airspace issues, such as: e The complexity of regional airspace: Five airports in 100 miles: Sea-Tac (SEA), Renton (RTN), King County International Airport (BFI), Paine Field (PAE), McChord AFB (TCM). Congested airspace: Three airports within five miles with two separate airspace classifications: B & D. BFI is an ATC training center and still uses visual identification of aircraft; TRACON uses radar identification to sequence flights between BFI and Sea-Tac. This situation slows the volume of air traffic within five miles of three airports. That the FAA controls all national airspace; that the Supremacy Clause of the US Constitution allows FAA to pre'empt all local decision-making, except the location of an airport . That the Interstate Commerce Clause of the US Constitution is interpreted as a “green light" for flights during night-time hours, no curfew$ and no caps on flight operations. Even the number of glass beads per inch painted as runway stripes is prescribed by the FAA; there is nothing that FAA doesn’t control at an airport, except staff hiring decisions. © e FAA demonstrates no interest in what the public thinks–and I worked closely with FAA Region tO officials continuously for 14 years as Noise Officer at BFI). (The FAA actually paid my…
