FAA established guidelines Airports must follow to get federal grants for mitigation projects The focus of Part 150 is to address noise and land use incompatibilities Educate the public about the airport FAA Approved mitigation measures become eligible for AIP funding at 80% Part 150 is an airport noise and land use planning tool 2 Sea-Tac Part 150 • • • Original program began in 1985 Completed 3 updates Last update completed in 2014 • Extensive public involvement • Public workshops • Highline Forum updates • City council presentations • Commission updates • Technical Review Committee Sea-Tac airport has been mitigating for more than 30 years 3 DNL Noise Contour • • • • • Day Night Level (DNL) - Annual cumulative average of noise emitted from aircraft operating at Sea-Tac airport • 10 dB penalty for aircraft operating between 10pm and 7am Contours MUST be developed using the FAA Airport Environmental Design Tool (AEDT) The FAA will not allow airports to use noise monitoring recorded decibel levels for production of DNL contours Contours must be submitted to and approved by the FAA The 65 DNL Contour is the basis for land use analysis in the Part 150 DNL contours are an annual cumulative depiction of aircraft noise 4 2018 65 DNL Noise Contour Contours shrank due to quieter aircraft in the fleet mix 5 Noise Remedy Boundary Noise Remedy Boundary is smaller due to shrinking noise contours 6 Part 150 Land Use Planning • Identify noise incompatibilities within surrounding communities • Below 65 DNL is compatible • Non-compatible at or above 65 DNL • Residential • Schools • Places of Worship • Hospitals • Nursing Homes • Daycare facilities with licensed educators Part 150 identifies land use that is not compatible with airport noise 7 Sound Insulation • No cost to the homeowners • Port receives an "Avigation Easement" in exchange for the insulation • Sound rated windows, doors, & ventilation Sound insulation reduces interior noise levels to 45 dB or less 8 History of Noise Mitigation • • Sound Insulation • Began in 1985 • Approximately 9,400 homes have been completed • 7 Highline Schools completed • 5 Condominium Complexes 246 units • 14 Buildings on the Highline College Campus Acquisition • 5 Mobile home parks, 359 mobile home units • 69 Homes north of the 3rd runway • 1,400 single family homes including 3rd runway acquisition Approximately $300 million spent on sound insulation / $100 million on noise related acquisition 9 Current Part 150 Recommendations • Public workshops - numerous ideas were vetted • Ideas were narrowed down to elements that were feasible and allowable under Part 150 All new programs must be within the new 65 DNL Contour 10 Single Family Sound Insulation • Continuation of Single Family Sound Insulation • Approximately 150 homes potentially eligible • Potential cost of approximately $14.5 million • Project was approved by Commission and construction starts 1st quarter 2019 Construction in Progress 11 Condominiums • 3 complexes comprised of 240 estimated units • Potential cost of approximately $20 million (costs are being refined by PMG) • Begin project in 2019 -
