In July 1998, DFW received the FAA finding of No Significant Impact and decision order. In August, 2002, the extension of Runway 18L/36R is completed. In October, 2003, the extension of Runway 18R/36L was completed.

NOISE ABATEMENT PROCEDURES

a. Turbo-jet aircraft maintain runway heading to MM (0.5 NM) then maintain departure heading for 5 NM prior to initiating further turns. b. Turbo-prop aircraft maintain runway heading until reaching safe minimum altitude, then turn to assigned headings using the best rate of climb. RNAV DEPARTURES FAA implemented 16 RNAV SID’s in September 2005. The RNAV SID assignment is based on destination. RNAV substantially reduced the areas of overflight in the DFW Metroplex but condensing the flight tracks to specific corridors. Approximately 95% of DFW’s commercial jet fleet is equipped to fly RNAV.

NOISE MITIGATION/LAND USE PLANNING PROGRAM INFORMATION

Type of Program	Date Implemented	Status
Sound Insulation (Residences and Public Buildings)	1996	23 Eligible Parcels: 14 Apartment Complexes (70+ DNL), 5 Schools (65+DNL), 3 Churches (70+DNL) and 1 Medical Facility (70+DNL). All mitigation associated with 1992 ROD for new east runway. Only 5 parcels participated: 3 Apartments, 1 School, and 1 Medical Facility. Easement were executed and recorded prior to start of sound insulation construction. No homes were sound insulated (see note under avigation easements). Total cost of SIP: $4.1 Million
Purchase Assurance for Homeowners Located Within the Airport Noise Contours	1995	1,194 properties eligible for choice of Easement Acquisition Program, known as EAP, or purchase assurance, known as Sales Guarantee Program (SGP). Eligible properties were in the 65-70 DNL. All mitigation associated with 1992 ROD for new east runway. Of the 1,194, 62 (5%) elected the SGP. 39 were purchased in fee by DFW either under the hardship program or because they did not sell on open market. All were later resold. 23 were sold by owner to 3rd party buyer. DFW subsidized sale so that owner would net 93% of unimpacted FMV. An easement was retained in the title in all SGP properties. Total cost of EAP/SGP: $34 Million
Avigation Easements	1995	1,194 properties eligible for choice of Easement Acquisition Program, known as EAP, or purchase assurance, known as Sales Guarantee Program (SGP). Eligible properties were in the 65-70 DNL. All mitigation associated with 1992 ROD for new east runway. Of the 1,194, 1,120 (94%) elected the EAP. Participants were paid 25% of the Unimpacted FMV: ½ of which was for the avigation easement and ½ represented a payment in lieu of Sound Insulation 1% of the eligible property owners did not participate in either the EAP or SGP programs. Total costs of EAP/SGP: $34 Million
Zoning Laws	1971	Before DFW Airport was built, the local Council of Governments prepared a noise study and then promulgated the noise contour along with a draft ordinance to the jurisdictions around DFW Airport to be used to govern land use development within the contour area. Most cities adopted the recommended ordinance and most still use it today to govern land use decisions in that contour area.
Real Estate/Property Disclosure Laws	N/A	Some realtors have a disclosure notice about a proposed west runway, yet to be built, that they present to buyers of properties potentially in the influence area of the west runway. This is only used by some realty offices but it gets the buyer calling the Noise Office, in advance of their purchase, to learn about not only the potential affects of the new runway but the effects of existing air traffic on the proposed purchase property.
Acquire Land for Noise Compatibility to date	1993	Two areas were acquired relative to the mitigation for the new east runway as required by the FAA in its ROD-a mandatory purchase area relative to the construction of the new runway and a voluntary purchase area mandated in the ROD due to new noise from the use of the runway. MPZ - Mandatory Purchase Zone consists of 154 parcels including houses, commercial buildings, two church facilities, one 390-unit apartment complex and several tracks of vacant land. Most of the properties were in the 70 DNL and above. The properties were needed for the relocation of a road and utility lines as well as grading relative to the construction and use of the new runway. The properties were purchased under the eminent domain, when necessary. All properties were purchased and demolished. Total cost: $53 Million. OPZ-Optional Purchase Zone consists of 361 residential parcels, including one parcel that consisted of 60 multi-family units. Properties in 70+DNL. The properties were purchased on a voluntary basis but those purchased were demolished. Thirteen properties remain many of which cannot convey clear title. The land. Total cost: $32 Million
