Identify Available Information. Existing (secondary) data andinformation, such as, but not necessarily limited to, documents, maps, studies and projects currently underway or in the planning stages will be identified which may directly or indirectly influence this study effort. This effort will assure initial and continued coordination and will involve research in locating secon- dary data sources and consulting appropriate local officials and agencies in this regard. Task B. Determine Composition and Organize Planning Advisory Committee. A Planning Advisory Committee will be established. The composition of the Committee shall be evaluated and determined, as will the structure of the meetings, along with their location and coordination with other planning efforts in the community. Mem- bers to serve on the Planning Advisory Committee will be determined jointly by the City and the Consultant. The PAC shall be organized as a resource entity during the conduct of the study. The composi- tion would consist of representation from such entities as the tower, maintenance and operations, airport management, the Federal Aviation Administration, the City of Fayetteville, the airlines, the aviation community, the neighborhood organizations, any environmental organi- zations, among others. Element Two/PREPARE BACKGROUND INFORMATION INVENTORY Task A. Inventory Local Plans and Land Use Regulations. The Con- sultant will inventory and collect all existing land use plans, transportation plans and other development plans which will affect airport development and operations. In addition, the Fayetteville Zoning Ordinance, Subdivision Regulations, and other regulatory mechanisms as well as other local regional and state long-range plan- ning goals and objectives will be reviewed. The plan for the air- port environs will be analyzed thoroughly to evaluate any existing or potential conflicts between it and airport development. 1 Task B. Forecast of Aviation Activity. A summary of aviation activity for the Drake Field service area will be compiled to show historical growth and present a basis for statistical analysis of aviation demand factors. Such a review will be based on a collection and analysis of based aircraft by airport in the service area, fuel sales, annual operations and related factors. Aviation demand will be evaluated for Drake Field and forecasts of aviation activity will be established. The forecast will be based on statistical trend analysis. The aviation demand will be forecast by the following categories: based aircraft by mix, local and itinerant operations by mix, passenger enplanements and busy -hour operations, with break- downs by commuter and general aviation. The forecast will also be by short-, intermediate-, and long-range (5, 10 and 20 year) periods of time. Task C. Update Operational Data. Operational data currently available will be reviewed and updated to assure currency, complete- ness and accuracy of present conditions. This task will include a review of aircraft operations, aircraft fleet mix and other opera- tional procedures. Task D. Develop Community Socioeconomic Profile. Information on socioeconomic factors which will influence the demand for air tans- portation and which may impact the development needs/requirements for areas surrounding the airport shall be collected and evaluated. Housing characteristic trends, building costs and availability will be analyzed as they may affect land use compatibility within the airport environs. Task E. Inventory Governmental Structure. This task consists of an identification and evaluation of local, regional and state char- ters, ordinances, legislation, trust agreements and other pertinent data to gain an understanding of the different governmental units involved in this study. This will establish which governmental units have jurisdiction over certain matters and which have the authority to take action which will affect relative issues of the study. • Task F. Update Existing Land Use and Zoning. Existing land use inventories and mapping already available will be updated to reflect current conditions. In addition, existing zoning will be inventoried and mapped. Task G. Idenfity and Analyze Land Use Trends. Type and direction of development which is most likely to occur in vicinity of the air- port will be determined. Based on input from previous tasks, the actual availability of the area to support development will be de- termined, along with the most realistic type of development which are most likely to occur. This task will identify the most favorable balance between types of development and the preservation of natural conditions. Task H. Analyze Height Zoning. The existing height zoning map and ordinance will be analyzed as to its adequacy in light of projected land use trends and future operations. Recommendations will be made for the documents to be updated. 2 • Task I. Refine Preliminary Environs Study Area. Based on input from the previous tasks, a preliminary study area will be identified. This will establish the area of concentration for the study and will set general parameters for impact analysis. The study area will be further refined and narrowed after the future noise contours are generated and concurrence is reached. Task J. Develop Working Paper on Background Inventory. The Con- sultant will develop a working paper outlining the findings of each task. The working paper will summarize the major elements outlined above and will be considered a review copy of a draft for a chapter in the final Study document. The working paper will provide back- ground information for subsequent analysis and discussion as the study proceeds. Element Three/EXISTING NOISE EXPOSURE DETERMINATION Task A. Idenfity Noise Measurement Locations. In concurrence with the preliminary existing airport contours previously generated, the Consultant will select appropriate sites for taking noise measurements at the airport. Six (6) sites will be identified for noise measure- ments, which will be both on and off airport property. Task B. Conduct Noise Measurement Survey. A noise measurement survey at six (6) locations around the airport will be conducted. The measurement sites will be broken into two groups. Measurements at approximately half of the sites will include comprehensive noise measurementsof single event (Sound Exposure Level, SEL) noise from aircraft flyovers. The primary function of these sites is for in- creasing the accuracy and confidence level of the noise contours. The results of these measurements can be statistically analyzed and reported as confidence bands around the airport contour. The remaining sites will be used for spot monitoring needs such as determining noise levels at sensitive receptor locations; measuring noise levels from non -aircraft sources; and providing actual data of noise sources may be very important to Drake Field. These may include highways and railroads. The Consultant will define highway noise levels, and other non -aircraft noise independently and cumula- tively with the airport. The Consultant will reasses the measurements taken for run up opera- tions to revalidate and recheck previous findings. Only a sample will be taken to assure validity and avoid repetition. At each of the sites, measurements of ambient noise levels during a day time and night time period will be conducted. From these data, the non -air- craft Ldn noise level can be estimated. The measurement survey will be well documented, with the report containing site information and all pertinent meteorological data as it affects noise propogation. Meteorological data will be gathered from the Flight Service Station and on-site observation. All monitoring will be manned by an exper- ienced engineer in the field of acoustics and noise measurements. 3 • Task C. Finalize Existing Noise Contours. By incorporating the operational data collected in Task III. C. and in previous efforts, and the results of the measurement survey, a final existing noise contour shall be presented. Ldn contour values will be computed for the 60, 65, 70 and 75 dBA level. From the statistical analysis of the measurement results, a statistical confidence band around the 65 Ldn will be determined. In addition to airport noise contours, noise contours for non -air- craft noise sources in the vicinity of the airport will be determined. This includes the major highways and railroads near the airport. The source of noise data for generation of these contours will be the results of the measurement survey and a highway noise model (FHWA "Highway Traffic Noise Prediction Model", FHWA-RD-108, December, 1978). To demonstrate the actual impact of the airport operations over the noise environment without the airport, the non -aircraft noise will be presented as noise contours cumulatively with the airport noise. Thus, the product of this task will be a depiction of the existing noise environment around Drake Field in terms of an airport noise contour; a non -aircraft noise source contour; and a cumulative aircraft and non -aircraft noise contour. Task D. Generate Future Noise Contours. From the aviation forecast a future noise contour for Drake Field will be developed that cor- responds to estimated future operational procedures and aircraft. This contour will serve as a base contour for which alternative scen- arios can be compared. Task E. Determine Environs Study Area. After identification of the existing and future noise contours, the Consultant will determine the environs study area. This will define the area for all subse- quent land use analysis and noise impact analysis of the study. Task F. Develop Working Paper on Existing Noise Exposure. The Consultant will produce a working paper utilizing appropriate graphics and summarizing the major tasks of this element. The working paper will be developed in terms easily understandable by the layman and will be considered a draft of a chapter to be included in the Study document. Again, the working paper will provide background informa- tion for subsequent analysis and discussion. Element Four/LAND USE ANALYSIS AND NOISE IMPACT Task A Evaluate Land Use Controls and Regulations. The land use controls and regulations identified in Task II. A. will be analyzed to determine their capability to ensure and maintain the compatibility of the environs study area with the development of Drake Field. State enabling legislation and case law will be analyzed as to their appli- cability to initiating new and innovative land use controls. Task B. Develop Land Use Management Decision Matrix. The Con- sultant will develop a land use management decision matrix which will identify the various land use controls and regulatory mechan- isms available to the community, the responsibility for implementing these mechanisms and the public acceptance of these mechanisms. The matrix will be preliminary at this step, as it will continue to be refined throughout the study process. Task C. Land Use Compatibility Evaluation. The Consultant will analyze land use alternatives as to their compatibility with air- port development and operations. The alternatives will be evaluated in terms of both the existing and future noise contours. Task D. Land Use Impacts Analysis. Land Use alternatives will be analyzed and summarized in terms of impacted land use and population. The noise impact potential of the alternatives can be compared with the baseline case as well as with the alternatives. Comparison can be based on areas inside the noise contours, population inside the noise contours, and schools inside the noise contours. A noise im- pact comparison matrix will be developed for each alternative de- picting the above information. Task E. Develop Population Weighted Impact Model. The Consultant will utilize information generated from the previous work tasks to determine a population waighted impact model. The methodology used will be that method described by the National Academy of Science in its "Guidelines for Preparing Environmental Impact Statements on Noise". Task F. Evaluate Land Use Impacts Based on Population Impact Model. The Consultant will utilize the population impact model developed above to determine the impact of the total noise environment. Task G. Develop Working Paper on Noise Impact. The Consultant will develop a working paper utilizing the output from the tasks described above for this element. All technical elements will be explained in terms which can be easily understood by the layman. The working paper will be considered a draft for a chapter in the ANCLUC report and will provide information for subsequent decisions. Task H. Planning Advisory Committee Meeting. The Consultant will hold a Planning Advisory Committee Meeting to present the findings and analysis of the previous tasks. The Consultant will utilize graphs, charts, illustrations and slides as necessary. A thorough discussion of the findings, their significance and effect on future work tasks will be presented at the meeting. Concurrence of the working papers and findings will be an objective of the meeting. Element Five/NOISE ABATEMENT ALTERNATIVE AND PROCEDURES DEVELOPMENT Task A. Identify Potential Noise Abatement Alternatives. In this task, alternative airport operational and facility scenarios will be examined. They may include alternative airport development plans as well as noise abatement procedures. .The product of this task will • • • be noise contours for each of the selected alternatives. Alterna- tive operational procedures that may be considered for analysis in- clude runway extension and displaced thresholds; preferential runway system; departure and arrival route modification; restrictions on operations; night curfew; quieter aircraft fleet mix; and additional runway construction. Noise abatement procedures at Drake Field that will be analyzed include reduced thrust departures; profile decent; and preferential flight tracks. Analysis of each noise abatement procedure will in- clude not only the noise impact, but will also consider the feasi- bility of applying the procedure at Drake Field and its potential effects on fuel consumption and air traffic control. Task B. Demand/Capacity Analysis. Based on an analysis of the existing airports surrounding the City of Fayetteville, the service area of Drake Field will be identified. Existing capacities of the various airport facilities will be compared with the forecast avia- tion demand in order to form a basis for theoretical development of facilities at Drake Field. With the establishment of a service area, the aviation demand centers within the service area will be identified based on population centers, based aircraft, and commercial and in- dustrial centers. Task C. Facilities Requirements Determination. In accordance with the aviation demand forecasts, aircraft types and operational re- quirements, and established facility standards, the Consultant will establish and document facility requirements for both airside (number, type, spacing and amount of facilities needed including runways, taxiways, NAVAIDS and approaches, lighting and appropriate land area needs) and landside (number, type amount, and nature of aprons, automobile parking, access roads, terminal building, and the appro- priate land area needed for such facilities) activities. Task D. Develop Alternative Facilities Modifications. The Consul- tant will identify and select particular facility modification alter- natives These alternatives will be closely coordinated with both the FAA and the City, and their concurrence and approval will be necessary before proceeding to additional tasks. The results of this task will be closely coordinated with the efforts especially related to the development of the Drake Field Development Plan. Task E. Develop Alternative Operational Modifications. The Con- sultant will identify and select particular operational modification alternatives. These alternatives will be closely coordinated with both the FAA and the City, and their concurrence and approval will be necessary before proceeding to additional tasks. Task F. Develop Noise Contours for Alternate Scenarios. As out- lined in Task A above, the Consultant will generate noise contours for each of the selected operational and facility modification alter- natives, with a maximum of five (5) contours generated. 6 • Task G. Evaluate Noise Impacts of Alternate Scenarios. Based on the generated noise contours, and the land use and population analysis performed in previous tasks, the impacts associated with each alternative will be analyzed to minimize the total number of scenarios evaluated. Task H. Evaluate and Select Alternate Scenaries. Based on the above information, the optimum operational and facility midifications will. be selected. This may result from the alternative scenarios identified above, but more likely from a combination of those identified. This will be closely coordinated with the City of Fayetteville and the FAA to ensure concurrence and approval. Task I. Identify Recommended Noise Abatement Procedures. As a result of the previous tasks and discussion with the various groups involved, the recommended noise abatement prodecures will be identified. This will include both operational and facility modifications and procedures. Task J. Develop Noise Abatement Procedure Working Paper. The Consultant will develop a detailed working paper describing the alternative scenarios outlined above and the recommended noise abatement procedures. The technical portions of the paper will be in terms which are easily understandable to the layman. The working paper will be considered a draft of a chapter of the Study document and will provide information for subsequent decisions. Task K. Planning Advisory Committee Meeting. The Consultant will hold a Planning Advisory Committee meeting to present the findings and analyses of the previous tasks. The Consultant will utilize graphs, charts, illustrations and slides as necessary. A thorough discussion of the findings, their significance and effect on future work will be presented at the meeting. Concurrence of the working paper and its findings will be an objective of the meeting. Element Six/STUDY AREA COMPATIBILITY RECOMMENDATIONS Task A. Develop Land Use Compatibility Map and Matrix. The Consultant will develop a detailed matrix identifying compatible land uses within each of the noise contours generated for the selected alternatives. The map and matrix will identify areas of incompati- bility, marginal compatibility, and compatibility. The map will also identify noise sensitive uses within each contour. Task B. Identify and Evaluate Areas of Incompatible Land Use. Based on input from previous elements and from Task A. above, the Consultant will evaluate areas of incompatible land use within each contour. These are incompatible areas which will still be present off airport after all efforts have been made by the City and which will require coordinated efforts with other areas of government other than the airport. Task C. Formulate Environs Land Use Recommendations. Final off - airport environs land use recommendations will be made so as to minimize land use impacts as a resultof the optimum modifications selected previously. This environs land use recommendation will be based on both existing and future feasible land use development. Task D. Identify and Evaluate Initial Land Use Controls. The Consultant, based on information and findings from Tasks II. A. and IV. A., will identify the strengths and weaknesses of existing land use controls to assist in implementing the recommended environs land use plan outlined above. Task E. Recommend Land Use Controls and Regulatory Mechanisms. The Consultant will recommend existing and possible innovative land use controls and regulatory mechanisms to ensure the implementation of the recommended environs land use plan. Mechanisms to be considered would include zoning, subdivision regulations, building codes, airport noise zoning, noise easements, among others. These controls and mechanisms will be coordinated with the City of Fayetteville and the FAA. These will also be coordinated with the Northwest Arkansas Regional Planning Commission and evaluated as to their compatibility with regional plans. Task F. Prepare Environs Land Use Plan. The Consultant will prepare an environs land use plan in graphic form to represent the recommendations, determined above. The map will depict land use zones as determined by noise contours and the recommended uses within each zone. Task G. Develop Working Paper on Compatibility Recommendations. The Consultant will develop a working paper on the recommended environs land use plan and regulatory controls and mechanisms The working paper will be considered a draft of a chapter of the Study document and will provide information for subsequent decisions. Element Seven/PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION AND MANAGEMENT PROGRAM Task A. Formulate Operational Implementation Strategies. The Consultant, in concurrence with theCity of Fayetteville and the FAA, will formulate operational implementation strategies to achieve the optimum operational modifications selected in previous tasks. Task B. Formulate Facility Implementation Strategies. The Consultant, in concurrence with the City of Fayetteville and the FAA, will formulate facility implementation strategies to achieve the optimum facility modifications selected in previous tasks. Task C. Formulate a.Land Use Implementation Monitoring System. This task will involve the formulation of a land use implementation monitoring system which will monitor land use changes, zoning amend- ments and other regulatory changes. A system to ensure communication between the airport staff, the City of Fayetteville, airport users, 8 • • the public, affected communities, public officials and agencies, and the FAA will be established. This system can also function as a noise complaint file and citizen grievance system. Task D. Develop a Role and Responsibility Program and Matrix for Implementation. The Consultant will develop a matrix which will indicate the roles and responsibilities of each interest group, governmental agency or airport user in the implementation of land use controls, operational modifications and facility modifications. The Consultant will formulate a program which outlines the roles and responsibilities for different governmental units and agencies, as to their role in implementing the regulatory controls. This program will also outline the role of the airport and airport users in implementing operational modifications. Task E. Develop Implementation Schedule of Noise Abatement Program. The Consultant will develop an implementation schedule for noise abatement which will indicate both immediate, short-range implemen- tation procedures and long-term implementation procedures. As some operational and facility modifications are dependent upon each other, and some land use controls will take time to formulate and implement, a time constraint and sequence schedule will be necessary to help monitor implementation progress. Task F. Develop Working Paper on Implementation and Management Program. The Consultant will develop a working paper utilizing output from the tasks described above for this element. This working paper will be considered a draft of a chapter of the Study document. Task G. Airport Layout Plan. The existing airport layout plan shall be updated in accordance with the findings, recommendations and approvals resulting from this study. The ALP will depict the configuration and general dimensioning of the initial and proposed airport facilities. The Airport Layout Plan will continue to include: 1) Airport Layout; 2) Location Map; 3) Vicinity May; 4) Basic Data Table; and 5) Wind Information. Each of these components of the Airport Layout Plan will contain the information as required in FAA Advisory Circular 150/5070-6. Task H. Approach and Clear Zone Plan. The Approach and Clear Zone Plan shall be updated in accordance with the findings, recommendations and approvals resulting from this study. This drawing supplements information on the Airport Layout Plan. Task I. Airport Access and Terminal Area Plans. Based on future airfield configuration, landside facility locations and necessary internal roadways will be updated in accordance with the findings, recommendations and approvals and indicated on the Airport Layout Plan. Based on the ALP and major existing and proposed transportation systems, appropriate routing modifications shall be recommended. This plan will be fully coordinated with all appropriate area transportation studies and entities. The Consultant will prepare an 9 • • • overall plan for the terminal facilities area, generally comprised of terminal buildings, hangars for storage and maintenance of aircraft and apron areas. While the general configuration and location of these facilities will be a part of the Airport Layout Plan, the Consultant will prepare specific recommendations for internal circulation, parking and other site amenities for purposes of enhancing the practical, operational and aesthetic aspects of the airport and its environs. The plan will be based on internal roadway systems and external access routes to and from the airport. Transportation recommendations will be coordinated with all appropriate entities and studies. Task J. Schedules and Cost Estimates of Development Plan. The Consultant, with the assistance of appropriate officials, will prepare a schedule of proposed development. The stages will be in 5, 10 and 20 -year phases, with the first five-year period being by single year activities. Cost estimates, based on current dollars, of facility requirements will be prepared for the first five-year period; a more generalized cost greakdown consolidating like items of work will be prepared for the 10 -year period; and an operational facility breakdown will be prepared for the 20 -year period. Task K. Financial Program. After development of the plan with the list of facility requirements during which alternatives for providing needed facilities were evaluated from both practical and cost standpoints, an evaluation of the economic feasibility of accomplishing actions recommended or portrayed by the plan will be made by comparing the cost of improvements with the amount of annual revenues expected from the completed facilities or the anticipated benefits to be realized by the community from the airport. Basically, this involves making a determination for each development period whether airport user revenues, plus estimated federal, state and local financial assistance, will be sufficient to offset the cost of capital investments plus annual administrative, operating revenues to defray the cost, the scope and phasing of improvements will be reanalyzed and revised to assure feasibility of the plan. An airport improvement financing plan will be prepared for use in providing funds for capital expenditures (including land acquisition) needed to implement the plan. Both -local funding resources and grant programs will be recommended as methods of financing. Task L. Planning Advisory Committee Meeting. The Consultant will hold a Planning Advisory Committee meeting to present the findings and analysis of the previous tasks. The Consultant will utilize graphs, charts, illustrations and slides as necessary. A thorough discussion of the entire study will be conducted at this point and any necessary corrections made to previous working papers will be made. From this meeting, the final report will be prepared in draft form. 10 Task M. Conduct Public Information Meeting. A public information meeting will be conducted to present the various proposals and recommendations of the study to the community. Presentation material will be prepared which adequately illustrates and which will be directed toward assuring an understanding of the study findings on the part of the public. Element Eight/DOCUMENTATION Task A. Draft Report. The Consultant will prepare a Draft ANCLUC Study and Development Plan report essentially similar to the final report although no color will be used. This will be for review and comment only and not intended for distribution to the general public. Twenty (20) copies shall be printed. Task B. Final Report. The Consultant will prepare a final report of the findings of the Drake Field Noise Control and Land Use Compatibility Study and Development Plan.
