The consultants who prepared the draft report on the program will present the findings of the report at the commission meeting. 411- 03- 97 Acentech Incorporated Wiphone 805-379-5774--A- 1429 .,. Thousand Oaks Blvd., Suite 200 imile 805-379.1797 C/ , lr Thousand Oaks, CA 91362 !;mail: postbox@acentech.com 23 December, 2002 Mr. Frank Rollason Assistant City Manager City of Miami 444 SW 2nd Avenue, 10th Floor Miami, FL 33130 Subject: Status Report: Noise Issues Related to Miami Internatioilal Airport Dear Mr. Rollison: Acente& Submitted Into the public record in connectio v,,'t item ` `` PriSGiiia A. Tilm„ . 0, on City Clerk Based upon your fax regarding the "Briefing of the Noise Abatement Task Force," the FAA and the Airport have agreed upon the content of the Final Draft Airport's Noise Abatement EA and it will be sent to the FAA in early January. The NATF in their December 181' meeting approved the EA with some recommended revisions in the wording and the expected final decision is expected to occur in the spring. This has been a long ordeal for the members of the task force and I know that they are feeling a sense of accomplishment. These noise abatement procedures will reduce the population that is exposed to above 65 DNL and above by approximately 1900 when implemented but reducing to 900 by 2010. There will still be over 60,000 people exposed to 65 DNL in 2010, most of them in the City of Miami. Now that implementation of the Noise Abatement Procedures is within site, the City and the NATF should start to focus on how to reduce noise exposure to the remaining 60,000 residence that will continue to be within the 65 DNL contour. Zoning. Since the Airport will continue to operate and fly over the City, there needs to be a program that helps achieve what the FAA calls "Land Use Compatibility." The FAA (and other Federal Agencies) considers land that has noise exposures above DNL 65 as not compatible for residential use without mitigation to the building to reduce noise exposures inside. The County is in the process of promulgating "Zoning Ordinance Providing Land Use Compatibility between Miami International Airport and Off -Airport Development." From a noise standpoint, Section 33-336 is the crux of the matter. It establishes two noise zones: • Inner District (ILZ) includes areas that are within the 75 DNL noise contour. New residential construction and educational facilities are prohibited in this area. • Outer District (OLZ) includes areas lying between the 65 DNL and 75 DNL contours. New residential and new educational facilities would be required to incorporate at least 25 dB noise level reduction (NLR) into the design and construction of the structure. The ordinance is not very restrictive. First of all, assuming the 2010 noise contours for the Proposed Action in the EA, there is a very small residential that would by within the 75 DNL contour and where no future residential development would be permitted. This residential area is bounded between NW 31" St on the North, NW 31 s` Ave on the East and NW 29`x' St on the South as shown in a partial copy of the 2010 noise contours from the EA, attached. h.`.LA Commirial Projectsi616916 City of MiamilNoveinber Status Letum.doc 03— 097 Audiovisual and Sound System Design Noise and Vibration Control Architectural Acoustics Environmental and Industrial Acoustics Mr. Frank Rollason 23 December 2002 SU Mitje::d Into the I'll NC Page 2 record `lr! iter l �1 VSJf i�� ��• r+ ! E"- Second of all, the 25 dB NLR is very simple to achieve and would have minimal cost implications to builders and developers. However, there is one caveat. The 25 dB reduction is insufficient within the 70 dB contour to achieve Federal requirement of 45 interior DNL (>70 exterior DNL 25 dB NLR > 45 interior DNL). I would recommend that the City offer to implement an OLZ1 district (between 70 DNL and 75 DNL contours) and OLZ2 district (between 65 DNL and 70 DNL contours). OLZ1 would require that at least a 30 dB NLR and OLZ2 would require that at least a 25 dB NLR in new construction. This would be implemented and enforced through the City Planning and Building Department. The City could specify minimum requirements of building components, request a noise study report from a qualified acoustics firm showing that interior noise levels do not exceed DNL 45, or request both. Part 150 — Airport Noise Compatibility Planning. The process that the FAA has developed to fund programs to help airports and communities around airports to achieve "compatibility" is the Part 150 - Airport Noise Compatibility Planning. To a large extend the process to date with the EA would be part of the Part 150 program. The completion of the Part 150 process would provide Federal funding that provides 80% of the cost (the remaining is split by the Airport and the State) for: • The analysis and implementation of noise abatement alternatives(including modifications of flight tracks as described in the EA) • Acquisition of land, • Construction of barriers • Implementation of preferential runway system • Sound insulation of public buildings such as schools • Sound insulation of houses to reduce interior noise by at least 5 dB The goal of the Part 150 process is to make those areas that do not meet FAA noise compatibility guidelines (residential areas within the 65 DNL contour) compatible. The City should actively lobby to get the Airport to start the Part 150 process. This is the only meaningful method of providing relief to noise impacted communities around the Airport. It also provides a mechanism for the Airport to fund much of the noise mitigation that the NATF has been lobbying for over the past six years. I know that there is concern by the City and the County of there being a potential downside to the City and the Airport. I have considered this and with the help of my colleagues have come up with the following table of Pros and Cons for the City and the Airport in implementing a Part 150. Pros Cons Funding The FAA provides Airports grants to The Airport must provide matching prepare a Part 150 Study. Larger Airports funds (10%) for planning and typically receive between $0.5 and $1.5 mitigation. million to prepare the planning study. Some of the PFC's now earmarked by Federal funding for program studies in the the Airport to develop Airport facilities US is about $50 million per year. Over $3 would be funneled into a noise billion in Airport Improvement (AIP) grants mitigation program for schools and have been spent on implementation since residential dwellings. This may leave 1979. Over $1 billion of the Passenger the Airport strapped for funds to Facility Charges (PFCs) collected by complete and pay for their current airports have been earmarked for noise expansion and safety programs. mitigation projects. Mr. Frank Rollason 23 December 2002 Page 3 Housing All residential housing inside the DNL 65 contour that was developed before Oct. 1, 1998 may be eligible to participate, receiving typically between $10,000 to $30,000 in sound insulation improvements that include acoustical windows, doors and central AC. Opportunity to encourage substandard housing to be improved by requiring code deficiencies to be remedied before participation. "Zoning The County is proceeding with noise zoning and the City should be working with the Airport to make sure that the zoning recommended by the Airport is in the best interest of the City's future plans. Mandatory Land Use Change Duration Residential areas that are within the 75 DNL Contour may be condemned and converted to compatible commercial/institutional/ industrial use resulting in a higher tax base. This is negotiable and some Cities have requested that housing not be condemned but be treated. The EA and older EIS should give the Airport a head start on the Part 150 Study. Many of the mitigation that is normally recommended in a Part 150 have been implemented: NATF, noise monitoring, and noise abatement procedures. Once the program is implemented and funded, 30 to over 1000 units per year can be treated (depending upon availability of funding). 1 E dstiula A. . City Uerk Some housing may be substandard and not meet the FAA and Airport's minimum requirements to be treated. Existing Code violations would need to be fixed before a property is eligible to participate. City may require changes to zoning within the DNL 65 noise contour, restricting types of development and requiring implementation of building code changes that will improve sound isolation of new residential and school structures. Residential areas that are within the 75 DNL Contour may be condemned and converted to compatible use resulting in a loss of low-income housing. Future residential development would be prohibited inside the 75 DNL contour and construction/ design requirements would be placed on residential development between the 65 DNL and 75 DNL contour. The Part 150 Study normally take at least 1 year and probably over 2 years to complete and get approved by the FAA. The EA should be approved and implemented before a Part 150 study formally begins. Therefore, 2006 is a realistic goal to begin sound insulation. Assuming 54,600 residents and a population density of 4 per unit there are 13,640 dwellings to be treated. At an average of 500 per year (—$12.5 million/year).. it will take over 27 years to complete! Of course a certain percentage of eligible properties will not take advantage of the Droeram.
