Glossary of Aircraft Noise and Land UseCompatibility Planning Terms

Term Definition

A-WEIGHTED SOUND LEVEL (dBA)

The ear does not respond equally to different frequencies of sound. It is less efficient at low and high frequencies than it is at medium or speech-range frequencies. Thus, to obtain a single number representing the sound level of a noise having a wide range of frequencies in a manner representative of the ear's response, it is necessary to reduce the effects of the low and high frequencies with respect to the medium frequencies. The resultant sound level is said to be A-weighted, and the units are decibels (dB); hence, the abbreviation is dBA. The A-weighted sound level is also referred to as the noise level. Sound level meters have an A-weighting network for measuring noise in A-weighted decibels.

ACCEPTABLE Relating to noise-Day-night average sound level (DNL) not exceeding 65 decibels-Noise exposure may be of some concern, but common building construction will make the indoor environment acceptable, and the outdoor environment will be reasonably pleasant for recreation and play. As defined by Federal Aviation Regulations, Part 150, “Airport Noise Compatibility Planning”.

ACOUSTICS (1) The science of sound, including the generation, transmission, and effects of audible and inaudible sound waves. (2) The physical qualities (such as size and shape) of a room or other enclosure that determine the audibility and perception of speech and music.

AFFECTED LOCAL GOVERNMENT AGENCIES

The local government agencies that have the authority to control land uses in areas that may be adversely affected by aviation activities.

AIRCRAFT OPERATION

An aircraft arrival (landing) or an aircraft departure (takeoff) represents one aircraft operation. A low approach, below traffic pattern or a touch-and-go operation is counted as both a landing and a takeoff, i.e., two operations. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) records aircraft operations in four categories: air carrier, air taxi, general aviation, and military.

AIRPORT ENVIRONS The area surrounding an airport that is considered to be directly affected by the presence and operation of the airport.

AIRPORT LAYOUT PLAN (ALP)

A plan showing boundaries and proposed additions to all areas owned or controlled by the airport sponsor for airport purposes, the location and nature of existing and proposed airport facilities and structures, and the location on the airport of existing and proposed nonaviation areas and improvements thereon. The ALP is a required element of an airport master plan.

AIRPORT MASTER PLAN

An assembly of appropriate documents and drawings addressing the development of a specific airport from physical, economic, social, and political jurisdictional perspectives. The airport master plan includes forecasts of aviation demand, an airport land use plan, airport layout plan, airport approach and runway protection zone plan, terminal area plan, airport access and parking plan, staging plan, capital improvement plan, and financial plan.

AIRPORT PROPRIETOR

A public agency or tax-supported organization, such as an airport authority, authorized to own and operate an airport, obtain property interests, obtain funds, and be legally, financially, and otherwise able to meet all applicable requirements of current laws and regulations.

AIRPORT TRAFFIC CONTROL TOWER (ATCT)

A central operations facility in the terminal area air traffic control system, consisting of a tower cab structure and an associated instrument flight rule (IFR) room if radar equipped, using air/ground communications and/or radar, visual signaling, and other devices, to provide safe and expeditious movement of terminal area air traffic.

AIRSPACE Space in the air above the surface of the earth or a particular portion of such space, usually defined by the boundaries of an area on the surface projected upward.

AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL (ATC)

A service operated by appropriate authority (the FAA) to promote the safe, orderly, and expeditious flow of air traffic.

AVIATION SAFETY AND NOISE ABATEMENT ACT OF 1979

Public Law 96-193 enacted February 18, 1980. The purpose of the Act is to assist airport sponsors in preparing and carrying out noise compatibility programs and in assuring continued safety for aviation. The Act also contains provisions extending to January 1, 1988, the requirement for certain types of aircraft to comply with Part 36 of the Federal Aviation Regulations.

B-9

Term Definition

AVIGATION A type of land acquisition that involves less-than-fee purchase. One form of aviation easement EASEMENT grants the right to perform aircraft operations over the designated property, including

operations that might cause noise, vibration, and other effects. A stronger form of easement is a deed restriction that may include (1) the right to perform aircraft operations over the property, and (2) public acquisition of a landowner’s rights restricting future development of the property in any use more intensive than that existing at the time of the transaction. This easement may also include specific prohibitions as to the uses for which the property may be developed. Maximum heights of structures and other objects may also be specified.

BUILDING CODE A legal document that sets forth requirements to protect the public health, safety, and general welfare as they relate to the construction and occupancy of buildings and structures. The code establishes the minimum acceptable conditions for matters found to be in need of regulation. Topics generally covered are exits, fire protection, structural design, sanitary facilities, lighting, and ventilation. Sound insulation may also be included.

COMMUNITY NOISE EQUIVALENT LEVEL (CNEL)

A noise metric required by the California Airport Noise Standards for use by airport proprietors to measure aircraft noise levels. CNEL includes an additional weighting for each event occurring during the evening (7;00 PM – 9:59 PM) and nighttime (10 pm – 6:59 am) periods to account for increased sensitivity to noise during these periods. Evening events are treated as though there were three and nighttime events are treated as though there were ten. This results in a 4.77 and 10 decibel penalty for operations occurring in the evening and nighttime periods, respectively.

DAY-NIGHT A measure used to predict, by a single number rating, cumulative aircraft noise that affects AVERAGE SOUND communities in airport environs. DNL represents decibels of noise as measured by an ALEVEL (DNL) weighted sound-level meter. In the DNL procedure, the noise exposure from each aircraft

takeoff or landing is calculated at ground level around an airport, and these noise exposure levels are accumulated for a typical 24-hour period. (The 24-hour period often used is the average day of the peak month for aircraft operations during the year being analyzed.) Daytime and nighttime noise exposure is considered separately. A weighting factor equivalent to a penalty of 10 decibels is applied to operations between 10 p.m. and 7 a.m. to account for the increased sensitivity of people to nighttime noise. DNLs can be expressed graphically on maps using either contours or grid cells.

DECIBEL (dB) A unit for measuring the volume of a sound.. Decibels measure a scale from the threshold of human hearing, 0 dB, upward towards the threshold of pain, about 120-140 dB. Because decibels are such a small measure, they are computed logarithmically and cannot be added arithmetically. An increase of ten dB is perceived by human ears as a doubling of noise. A-weighted decibels (dBA) adjust sound pressure towards the frequency range of human hearing.

DEVELOPMENT Rights of landowners to develop a parcel of land according to the zoning of that parcel. Land is RIGHTS often assessed on a combination of its “resource” value and its “commodity” value. The

resource value is the value of the property in its natural state; while the commodity value is an artificial value placed on it by the marketplace (that is, its value for development purposes). In less-than-fee acquisition, the airport sponsor may purchase only the development rights; the ownership of the land remains unchanged.

EQUIVALENT Leq is the sound level, expressed in dBA, of a steady sound which has the same A-weighted CONTINUOUS SOUND sound energy as the time-varying sound over the averaging period. Unlike SEL, Leq is the LEVEL (LEQ) average sound level for a specified time period (e.g., 24 hours, 8 hours, 1 hour, etc.). Leq is

calculated by integrating the sound energy from all noise events over a given time period and applying a factor for the number of events.

FAR PART 150 or 14 This regulation, titled "Airport Noise Compatibility Planning," sets forth criteria for developing CFR Part 150 an FAR Part 150 Noise Compatibility Program, an FAA-assisted program designed to increase

the compatibility of land and land uses in the areas surrounding an airport that are most directly affected by operation of the airport. The specific purpose is to reduce the adverse effects of noise as much as possible by implementing both on-airport noise abatement measures and off-airport noise mitigation measures. The basic products of an FAR Part 150 program typically include (1) noise exposure maps for the existing condition and for 5 years in the future; (2) workable on-airport noise abatement measures (preferential runway use programs, new or preferential flight tracks), (3) off-airport noise mitigation measures (land acquisition, soundproofing, or special zoning); (4) an analysis of the costs and the financial feasibility of the recommended measures; and (5) policies and procedures related to the implementation of on- and off-airport programs. Community involvement opportunities are provided throughout all phases of noise compatibility program development.

B-10

Term Definition

FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION (FAA)

The FAA, an agency of the U.S. Department of Transportation, is charged with (1) regulating air commerce to promote its safety and development; (2) achieving the efficient use of navigable airspace of the United States; (3) promoting, encouraging, and developing civil aviation; (4) developing and operating a common system of air traffic control and air navigation for both civilian and military aircraft; and (5) promoting the development of a national system of airports.

FLIGHT TRACK The average flight path flown by aircraft within specific corridors. Deviation from these tracks occurs because of weather, pilot technique, air traffic control, and aircraft weight. Individual flight tracks within a corridor are "averaged" for purposes of modeling noise exposure using the FAA’s Integrated Noise Model.

GENERAL PLAN An overall plan of a political jurisdiction setting forth the goals and objectives of the jurisdiction, policies for development and redevelopment, and maps showing the spatial arrangement of land uses, circulation routes, and community facilities. This is sometimes referred to as a comprehensive plan or community plan.

INCOMPATIBLE LAND USE

Residential, public, recreational, and certain other noise-sensitive land uses that are designated as unacceptable within specific ranges of cumulative (DNL) noise exposure as set forth in FAR Part 150, Appendix A, Table 1.

INFILL The development of small pieces of property remaining in previously developed larger areas.

INTEGRATED NOISE MODEL (INM)

A computer model developed by the FAA and required by the FAA for use in environmental assessments, environmental impact statements, and FAR Part 150 studies for developing existing and future aircraft noise exposure maps.

LAND USE COMPATIBILITY

The compatibility of land uses surrounding an airport with airport activities and particularly with the noise from aircraft operations.

LAND USE CONTROLS

Controls established by local or state governments to implement land use planning. The controls include zoning, subdivision regulations, land acquisition (in fee simple, lease-back, or easements), building codes, building permits, and capital improvement programs (to provide sewer, water, utilities, or other service facilities).

LAND USE PLANNING Comprehensive planning carried out by units of local government, for all areas under their jurisdiction, to identify the optimum uses of land and to serve as a basis for the adoption of zoning or other land use controls.

LOUDNESS The judgment of the intensity of a sound by a person, loudness depends primarily on the sound pressure of the stimulus. Over much of the loudness range, it takes about a threefold increase in sound pressure (approximately 10 decibels) to produce a doubling of loudness.

MAXIMUM SOUND LEVEL (Lmax)

The maximum a-weighted sound level, in dBA, for a given noise event. The peak noise level reached by a single aircraft event.

NOISE Noise is any sound that is considered to be undesirable because it interferes with speech and hearing, or is intense enough to damage hearing, or is otherwise annoying.

NOISE ABATEMENT PROCEDURES

Changes in runway use, flight approach and departure routes and procedures, and other air traffic procedures that are intended to shift adverse aviation effects away from noise-sensitive areas (such as residential neighborhoods).

NOISE ATTENUATION OF BUILDINGS

The use of building materials to reduce noise through absorption, transmission loss, and reflection of sound energy.

NOISE CONTOURS Lines drawn on a map that connect points of equivalent noise exposure levels. For aircraft noise analyses conducted using CNEL, noise contours are usually drawn in 5CNEL intervals, such as connections of CNEL 75 exposure, CNEL 70 exposure, CNEL 65 exposure, and so forth.

NOISE EXPOSURE MAP (NEM)

A map prepared in accordance with FAR Part 150 or other FAA environmental regulation that depicts actual (existing or historical conditions) or anticipated (future conditions) aircraft noise exposure and the affected land uses. NEMs for future conditions may take into account anticipated land use changes around the airport.

B-11

Term Definition

NOISE LEVEL REDUCTION (NLR)

The noise reduction between two areas or rooms is the numerical difference, in decibels, of the average sound pressure levels in those areas or rooms. Noise reduction is measured by combining the effect of the transmission loss performance of structures separating the two areas or rooms and the effect of acoustic absorption in the receiving room.

NOISE-SENSITIVE LAND USE

A land use that can be adversely affected by high levels of aircraft noise. Residences, schools, hospitals, religious facilities, libraries, and other similar uses are typically considered to be noise-sensitive.

NORMALLY UNACCEPTABLE

DNL higher than 65 but not higher than 75 decibels (see UNACCEPTABLE)-the noise exposure is significantly more severe; barriers may be necessary between the site and prominent noise sources to make the outdoor environment acceptable; special building construction may be necessary to ensure that people indoors are sufficiently protected from outdoor noise.

RUNWAY PROTECTION ZONE (RPZ)

The RPZ (formerly referred to as the runway clear zone) is trapezoidal in shape and centered about the extended runway centerline. It begins 200 feet beyond the end of the area usable for takeoff or landing. Displacing the threshold does not change the beginning point of the RPZ unless declared runway distances have been established by the airport sponsor and approved by the FAA. The RPZ dimensions are functions of the design aircraft, type of operation, and visibility minimums.

SIGNIFICANT NOISE IMPACT THRESHOLD

A significant noise impact is defined as an increase in aircraft noise of DNL 1.5dB or greater in an area exposed to aircraft noise at or above DNL 65 dB and developed with noise sensitive land uses.

SINGLE EVENT Noise generated by a single event, such as a single aircraft flyover.

SOUND EXPOSURE LEVEL (SEL)

SEL is a time-integrated measure, expressed in decibels, of the sound energy of a single noise event. The sound level is integrated over the period that the level exceeds a threshold (normally 65 dBA for aircraft noise events). Therefore, SEL accounts for the duration of the sound. SELs for aircraft noise events depend on the location of the aircraft, the type of operation (landing, takeoff, or overflight), and the type of aircraft.

SOUND INSULATION (1) The use of structures and materials designed to reduce the transmission of sound from one room or area to another, or from the exterior to the interior of a building. (2) The degree of reduction in sound transmission, or noise level reduction, by means of sound insulating structures and materials.

SOUND LEVEL (NOISE LEVEL)

The weighted sound pressure level obtained by the use of a sound level meter having a standard frequency filter for attenuating part of the sound spectrum.

SOUND LEVEL METER

An instrument consisting of a microphone, an amplifier, an output meter, and frequency-weighting networks used to measure noise and sound levels in a specified manner.

UNACCEPTABLE DNL above 75 decibels-Noise exposure at the site is so severe that the construction cost to make the indoor noise environment acceptable may be prohibitive and the outdoor environment would still be unacceptable.

ZONING AND ZONING ORDINANCES

Ordinances that divide a community into zones or districts according to the current and potential use of properties for the purpose of controlling and directing the use and development of those properties. Zoning is concerned primarily with the use of land and buildings, the height and bulk of buildings, the proportion of a lot that buildings may cover, and the density of population of a given area. As an instrument for noise compatibility plan implementation, zoning deals principally with the use and development of privately owned land and buildings. The objectives of zoning are to establish regulations that provide locations for all essential uses of land and buildings and ensure that each use is located in the most appropriate place. In noise compatibility planning, zoning can be used to achieve two major aims: (1) to reinforce existing compatible land uses and promote the location of future compatible uses in vacant or underdeveloped land, and (2) to convert existing incompatible uses to compatible uses over time.

14 CODE OF FEDERAL REGULATIONS PART 150 STUDY UPDATE NOISE COMPATIBILITY PROGRAM SAN FRANCISCO INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT

What is a 14 CFR Part 150 Study?

14 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 150, Airport Noise Compatibility Planning, was issued by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) as a final rule in January 1985. 14 CFR Part 150 sets forth the methodology and procedures to be followed when preparing aircraft noise exposure maps and developing airport /airport environs land use compatibility programs.

14 CFR Part 150 studies typically consist of two primary components:

(1) the Noise Exposure Map (NEM) report, which contains detailed information regarding existing and 5-year future airport/aircraft noise exposure patterns; and

(2) the Noise Compatibility Program (NCP) report, which includes descriptions and an evaluation of noise abatement and noise mitigation options/programs applicable to an airport.

Has a 14 CFR Part 150 Study been prepared for San Francisco International Airport (SFO)?

The City and County of San Francisco by and through the San Francisco Airport Commission (Airport Commission) has a long history of implementing noise abatement and mitigation measures at SFO and has led the industry in addressing community concerns about noise since 1975. The Airport Commission prepared a 14 CFR Part 150 Noise and Land Use Compatibility Study for SFO in the early 1980s; the 14 CFR Part 150 NCP was approved by the FAA on January 17, 1983. Since then, the Airport Commission has submitted two NEM Updates to the FAA; the first NEM update was accepted by the FAA on May 17, 1996 and the second NEM Update was accepted by the FAA on July 17, 2002.

SFO anticipates submitting the final existing (2014) conditions NEM and future (2019) conditions NEM developed to the FAA for approval in August 2015. The Airport Commission is now updating the NCP Report, the second and last component of the 14 CFR Part 150 Study Update.

Why is the Airport Commission updating the FAR Part 150 NEMs for SFO?

The Airport Commission’s goal for this project is to obtain the FAA’s acceptance of new 2014 and 2019 NEMs to ensure that ongoing residential sound insulation programs can continue to be eligible for FAA grant funding.

What will the Airport Commission produce during the SFO FAR Part 150 NEM Update?

The SFO 14 CFR Part 150 Study Update must be prepared in accordance with guidance provided in the 14 CFR Part 150 regulations and the 14 CFR Part 150 NEM and NCP Checklists developed by the FAA. As part of the SFO 14 CFR Part 150 Study Update, the Airport Commission and its consultants quantified the existing (2014) and future (2019) aircraft noise exposure levels in the vicinity of SFO. The Airport Commission also developed supporting documentation explaining the process and methodologies used to calculate existing and future aircraft noise exposure contours. The new set of NEMs can be used to identify future noise abatement and noise mitigation needs within the future (2019) 65 CNEL noise contour, which will be documented in the NCP Report Update.

B-13

During development of the NCP Report Update, the Airport Commission will recommend continuation of the existing noise abatement and noise mitigation measures, and identify properties that may be eligible for residential sound insulation within the future (2019) 65 CNEL noise contour. Implementation of the residential sound insulation program is dependent on federal grant eligibility and availability.

When will the SFO 14 CFR Part 150 Study Update – Noise Compatibility Program be completed?

The schedule for the SFO 14 CFR Part 150 Study Update for the Noise Compatibility Program is presented below.

Where can I get more information?

General information, project reports and public workshop materials, including presentation boards, will be uploaded to the project website at http://www.sfopart150study.com, as they become available.

How can I get involved?

14 CFR Part 150 encourages the participation of citizens and public agencies. The Airport Commission will be convening two public workshops during the preparation of the SFO 14 CFR Part 150 Study Update – Noise Compatibility Program. One public information workshop will be held in August 2015 to introduce the SFO 14 CFR Part 150 Study Update – Noise Compatibility Program. We anticipate that a second public workshop and a public hearing will be convened later this year to present key study findings.

The Airport Commission is interested in hearing from you if aircraft noise is a concern. Your comments regarding the SFO 14 CFR Part 150 Study Update – Noise Compatibility Program can be submitted at the public workshop or by (1) e-mail through the project website; or (2) mailing them to:

Noise Exposure Map Report The noise exposure map report contains detailed information regarding existing and future aircraft noise levels for a specific airport facility.

Status: The FAA accepted the updated NEMs for SFO on January 29, 2016.

Noise Compatibility Program The noise compatibility program report includes descriptions and a detailed evaluation of noise abatement and noise mitigation options applicable to an Airport. • The Airport Commission will recommend continuation of the Residential Sound

Insulation Program.


Noise Abatement Measures • Are intended to reduce actual aircraft noise levels in noise-sensitive

areas by either reducing aircraft noise at the source by using quieter aircraft, shielding noise sensitive areas, or by instituting operational

• 65 dB and higher (i.e., noise reductions within areas developed with incompatible land uses) if the airport sponsor wishes the FAA to consider the measure for approval in a 14 CFR Part 150 Noise Compatibility Program.

• By 2008, 15,218 residential dwellings treated with sound insulation and 12,630 easements obtained. • 33 dwelling units treated during the 2010-2012 Phase of the Residential Sound Insulation Program. • 32 dwelling units in the cities of San Bruno and Daly City treated during the 2012-2014 Phase of

the Residential Sound Insulation program.

• The residential sound insulation programs were funded by SFO and the FAA but were managed and implemented by local cities.
