3. The Challenge of San Francisco International Airport

5. San Francisco International Airport Owned and Operated by the City and County of San Francisco Located 12 miles south of the City and County limits. Majority of noise impacts are on non- residents of the City and County of San Francisco.

6. SFO, then…

7. …and now

13. Who Filed This Flight Plan?

14. SFO’s Noise Mitigation  California Code of Regulations (CCR) Title 21 requires Airports to mitigate non-compatible land use within the 65 dB CNEL  Residences  Places of Worship  Schools  Long-term care facilities  Initial 1983 contour included 18,486 residences within the contour  State of California and San Mateo County declared “zero impact” in 2001 after 12,696 homes insulated and 13,835 easements received

15. How Does the Program Work?  Contours are generated quarterly by third-party consultant  Financial oversight conducted by SFO Finance office  Individual communities request grant money from FAA for insulation  Daly City  Millbrae  Pacifica  San Bruno  South San Francisco  County of San Mateo

16. How is the Program Managed?  Communities determine and manage priorities in distributing mitigation funds  Most communities contracted with third-party for program management.  Data maintained by:  SFO Noise Abatement  SFO Finance  San Francisco Department of Real Estate  Each individual City  San Mateo County  FAA Airport District Office

17. Why Let the Cities Manage the Program?  Communities determine and manage their priorities in distributing mitigation funds  City officials (Council Members, City Manager, Department Heads) become the POCs for residents.  City Building Departments are the local experts on current code and zoning requirements.  Gets the Airport out of the “us vs. them” scenario

18. $how Me the Money!  Each city receives $15,000 per easement.  This amount may cover multiple dwellings  Some buildings require more money, some less  Each City and its contractor determine final cost and carry over balances  Post-1989 constructed buildings were paid $5,000 per easement  1989 Building Code update for environmental insulation efficiency brought homes into noise insulation compliance.  One-time direct payment with homeowner  FAA funds received by cities = $62,472,085 (28%)  Total SFO investment = $135,442,770 (72%)

20. South San Francisco

21. San Bruno

22. Where to go with “zero impact?”  Quarterly contour updates still produced  Quarterly State Noise Reports published  Continuing to search for homes with no easement in 65 CNEL contour  As funds become available, SFO will continue to mitigate homes in original 1983 contour  Local communities will continue to respond to constituent questions regarding eligibility, warranties, waiting lists, etc.

23. Post-“Zero Impact” Programs  Expand the use of website  Work with Airport Planners  Work with County Board of Realtors  Provide aircraft noise data to prospective buyers  Provide input on the definition of “Airport Influence Area”  Develop Public Service Announcements?

25. Other Community Outreach  San Francisco International Airport Community Roundtable  Oldest continuously running public noise forum in the Nation  Established in 1981  Membership consists of one City/Town Council Member from 18 cities/towns near SFO  Airport Director is also member  Tower Staff and Airline Chief Pilots unofficial members  Meets first Wednesday of every even-number month.
