Objectives include:• Ensure that the development program

is fiscally responsible • Consider building life-cycle and

longevity in decision making


Goal #3:Through the planning process, expand effectiveness through strengthened external relationships and partnerships with customers, tenants, neighboring communities, and governmental agencies.

Objectives include:• Seek to foster consensus among key

stakeholders• Employ a focused public involvement

program to inform, educate, and receive feedback

LTCP Stakeholder Outreach Strategy• Prior to Completion of Draft LTCP (April – June)

– Municipal Planning Departments• Plan Commissions/City Councils if recommended

– Other External Stakeholders (FAA, MnDOT, Met Council)– Internal Tenant Groups– Public Information Meeting

• Formal Draft LTCP Public Review Period (July - August)– Written comment period (30 days)– Public Information Meetings– Met Council

• LTCP Final Draft/Adoption (September – December)– Additional stakeholder outreach as needed

Item 52014 Annual Noise Contour Report

The Noise Mitigation Consent Decree requires the MAC to prepare a annual noise contour report using the FAA’s Integrated Noise Model (INM).

On February 27, 2015 MAC staff completed the eighth Annual Noise Contour Report consistent with the requirements laid out in the Consent Decree.

The Consent Decree was amended in October 2013 to establish a three-consecutive year mitigation eligibility requirement, compared to the 2007 DNL forecast contours.

2014 Annual Noise Contour Report (continued)

The MAC retained the services of HNTB for the preparation of the INM inputs and to run a quality check on the noise contours.

2014 is the second year of actual noise mapping to establish mitigation eligibility, per the Consent Decree Amendment. The only residential properties that meet the mitigation eligibility criteria are located in the City of Minneapolis.• 285 single-family homes meet the 1st year of eligibility.• 137 single-family homes and 89 multi-family units meet the 2nd year of

eligibility (all homes that met the 1st year in 2013 moved into the 2nd

year in 2014).

• The 2014 total operations were 29.3% below the 2007 forecast mitigated total operations.

• The 2014 total operations are down 4.6% from 2013.

• Modified (“hushkitted”) Stage 3 average daily operations in 2014 were down 99.9% from the 2007 forecast mitigated number.

• Nighttime operations in 2014 decreased by 28 average daily operations from the 2007 forecast mitigated number.

Table 3.1MINNEAPOLIS-ST. PAUL INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT

2007 Mitigated Forecast vs. 2014 ActualAnnual Total Operations Summary

Operations Category 2014 Actual* 2007 ForecastedScheduled PassengerAir Carrier (a)

Cargo 12,199 21,158Charter 190 5,766GA 21,862 28,846Military 2,437 3,124TOTAL 411,760 582,366Notes:(a) Includes both air carrier and regional carrier operations(b) Includes both GA and non-scheduled air taxi operations* Based on actual 2014 MACNOMS data adjusted to match FAA ATADS data (to account for unavailable MACNOMS operations data).


• The 2014 actual noise contour is smaller than the 2007 forecast mitigated contour by 6,949.9 acres (44.2% reduction) in the 60 DNL contour and by 3,755.5 acres (51.9% reduction) in the 65 DNL contour.

• The predominant contraction in the contours from the 2007 forecast mitigated to the 2014 actual noise contour is driven largely by fleet mix changes, including a significant reduction in Modified (“hushkitted”) Stage 3 aircraft operations, and a significant reduction of total annual operations.

• The small area where the 2014 actual noise contour extends beyond the 2007 forecast mitigated noise contour can largely be attributed to nighttime runway use variances between what was forecasted and what was occurring in 2014, particularly an increase in nighttime arrival operations on Runway 12R.



1st Year of Mitigation Eligibility• 120 single-family homes moved from the 60-62 DNL contour into the 2014 63 DNL contour• 39 single-family homes previously eligible for homeowner reimbursement moved into the 2014 60-62

DNL contour • 126 single-family homes previously outside the mitigation area moved into the 2014 60-62 DNL

contour 2nd Year of Mitigation Eligibility

• 119 single-family homes previously eligible for homeowner reimbursement moved into the 2014 60 DNL contour

• 18 single-family homes previously outside the mitigation area moved into the 2014 60 DNL contour • 89 multi-family units previously outside the mitigation area moved into the 2014 60 DNL contour

If these blocks remain within a higher noise impact area for 3 consecutive years, they will be eligible for additional mitigation in accordance with the First Amendment to the Consent Decree.


Item 6

Nighttime Operations Assessment

The 2015 NOC Work Plan includes an assessment of nighttime operations at MSP.

Resident concerns and comments are one of the primary catalysts for the continuing

evaluation of nighttime operations at MSP.

Federal policy virtually prohibits mandatory nighttime restrictions at public-use airports,

such as MSP.

Analysis focuses on the following:• Average daily nighttime operations at MSP from 2005 to 2014• Annual average daily INM nighttime operations from 2005 to 2014 compared to the

2007 forecast annual average daily nighttime operations• MSP all nighttime and carrier jet nighttime operations runway use summary for 2014

and 2013• MSP INM nighttime (10:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m.) operations runway use summary for

2014 and 2013• A breakdown of the top 15 nighttime carrier jet operators for 2014 and 2013• A breakdown of the fleet mix for the top 15 nighttime airlines for 2014 and 2013• Average daily MSP nighttime operations by hour for 2014 and 2013• A comparison and breakdown of scheduled nighttime operations and the fleet mix of

the scheduled operations for 2014 and 2013• A comparison of the scheduled nighttime operations vs. actual nighttime operations

for 2014 and 2013
