Reid-Hillview Airport FAR Part 150 Noise and Land Use Compatibility Study http://www.hmmh.com/ Required noise metrics:
•
FAR Part 150 requires the use of the Day Night Average Sound Level (DNL)
•
The Community Noise Equivalent Level (CNEL) is the State of California standard for assessing aircraft noise impacts
•
CNEL is more restrictive than DNL and is approved for use in California Part 150s
Reid-Hillview Airport FAR Part 150 Noise and Land Use Compatibility Study http://www.hmmh.com/ Community Noise Equivalent Level, CNEL
•
A way to describe the noise dose period for a 24-hour
•
Accounts for noise event “noisiness” (SEL)
•
Accounts for number of noise events
•
Provides an additional weighting factor ( 3X ) and nighttime ( 10X ) operations for evening
•
California State and Federal Standard
•
Correlates well with community annoyance

•
CNEL is used for land compatibility planning
• Under FAR Part 150: “Table 1 Land Use Compatibility with Yearly Day-Night Average Sound Levels,” 65 dB CNEL is considered incompatible with the following uses: residences and schools • Hospitals, nursing homes, churches, auditoriums, and concert hall structures in these areas would have to reduce noise by 25 decibels to be compatible • Industrial, commercial, open space, parks, etc. are compatible with 65 dB CNEL and above

Qualitative descriptions of non-aircraft noise environments:

Reid-Hillview Airport FAR Part 150 Noise and Land Use Compatibility Study http://www.hmmh.com/ Determining Noise Exposure with Measurements
•
Measurements accurately tell us:
The sound levels at a specific site For a specific time period •
Measurements are an historical record
•
Measurements are not predictive, but can show
historical
trends
Reid-Hillview Airport FAR Part 150 Noise and Land Use Compatibility Study http://www.hmmh.com/ Determining Noise Exposure with Modeling
•
Modeling can accurately tell us sound levels:
Over a broad geographic area as well as at specific sites For a specific time period •
Modeling can produce an historical record
•
Modeling can be predictive by showing
expected
trends
Reid-Hillview Airport FAR Part 150 Noise and Land Use Compatibility Study http://www.hmmh.com/ FAA Integrated Noise Model (INM) inputs:
• • •
Aircraft Fleet Mix Representative Flight Tracks Runway and Helipad Use
• 85% Runway 31L/R, 15% Runway 13L/R •
Number of Annual Operations
• • 647 Annual average day operations 83% day, 14% evening, 3% night

The RHV Part 150 consists of two volumes: The Noise Exposure Map (NEM)
• • Describes the airport layout and operation, aircraft related noise exposure, land uses in the airport environs, and the resulting incompatibilities The NEM was submitted to the FAA for approval on July 12, 2002
The Noise Compatibility Program (NCP)
• List of actions to be undertaken to minimize noise/land use incompatibilities
Five public meetings were held to solicit input
Reid-Hillview Airport FAR Part 150 Noise and Land Use Compatibility Study http://www.hmmh.com/ For the NCP, we reviewed over 50 potential noise abatement and noise mitigation measures:
• • Suggested by the community, pilots, airport staff, and consulting team Emphasis on reducing people exposed to 65 dB CNEL • people in areas below 65 dB CNEL benefit as well Screened against Part 150 requirements
Reid-Hillview Airport FAR Part 150 Noise and Land Use Compatibility Study http://www.hmmh.com/ FAR Part 150 requirements for the NCP:
• Reduces existing non-compatible uses and prevents or reduces the establishment of additional non-compatible uses • Does not impose an undue burden on interstate and foreign commerce • • Is not unjustly discriminatory Does not degrade safety or adversely affect the safe and efficient use of airspace
Draft Noise Compatibility Program Development of the NCP
http://www.hmmh.com/ FAR Part 150 requirements for the NCP (cont.):
• To the extent practicable, meets both local needs and needs of the national air transportation system, considering tradeoffs between economic benefits derived from the airport and the noise impact • • Can be implemented in a manner consistent with all the powers and duties of the Administrator of FAA Provides for revision of the program
Reid-Hillview Airport FAR Part 150 Noise and Land Use Compatibility Study http://www.hmmh.com/ Of the over 50 measures reviewed, 33 were carried forward for submission to FAA:
• •
13 Noise abatement procedures 9 Land use measures
•
11 Administrative measures
Reid-Hillview Airport FAR Part 150 Noise and Land Use Compatibility Study http://www.hmmh.com/ Noise Abatement Measures:
Set preferential runway use – arrivals on Runway 31L and departures on Runway 31R Encourage use of minimum power settings on departure Encourage standard glide scope arrival procedures to minimize power on arrival
Reid-Hillview Airport FAR Part 150 Noise and Land Use Compatibility Study http://www.hmmh.com/ Noise Abatement Measures (cont.):
Revise flight track for aircraft departing Runway 31R Voluntary limitation on aircraft departures to specified times – (7 am to 10 pm) Voluntary limitation on aircraft Touch-and-Go operations to specified days and times – Mon. – Fri. (9 am to 7 pm) – Sat. (10 am to 5 pm) – Sun. (12 pm to 5 pm)
Reid-Hillview Airport FAR Part 150 Noise and Land Use Compatibility Study http://www.hmmh.com/ Noise Abatement Measures (cont.):
