CORRELATION TO THE STRATEGIC PLAN:
Staff's analysis and report of the quarterly John Wayne Airport Noise Abatement Report
falls under Goal D of the Strategic Plan pertaining to strong community and regional
relationships. The City of Tustin strives to work collaboratively with agencies both within
and outside Tustin on issues of mutual interest and concern, and in this instance, on
matters of airport traffic and noise.
DISCUSSION:
Following the conclusion of each calendar quarter, JWA staff prepares a Noise
Abatement Program Quarterly Report and posts a copy of the report on their website.
Attached is the quarterly report for the second quarter of 2016, which includes the
months of April through June. An overview of the information contained within the JWA
Noise Report includes measured noise levels, and an analysis of noise complaints.
Measured Noise Levels
Aircraft noise is most noticeable during airplane takeoffs and landings primarily due to
engine noise. Although engines produce a significant amount of aircraft noise, many
other factors may influence the perception of noise including: proximity; weather — in
bad weather engine noise is reflected off of the atmosphere making jets appear louder
than on clear days; routes; non-scheduled operations which could include military or
private aircraft; emergencies; and, weight — a heavier load may affect an aircraft's rate
of ascent.
During the second quarter of 2016, the average CNEL at Tustin's monitoring station on
Beneta Way was 57.2 dB. This is 1.1 dB higher than the average of the previous
quarter (Q-1: January through March 2016). The average noise level for this quarter is
very similar to the average from the previous four quarters, which is 55.7 dB. Figure 2
provides a visualization of Tustin's CNEL levels for each month during the second
quarter of 2016.

Noise Complaints
The Airport's Access and Noise Office receives and investigates noise calls and
complaints from local citizens and other sources. Throughout all of the Orange County
monitoring area, noise complaints increased by 47.7 percent during the second quarter of
2016 in comparison to the first quarter of 2016. It should be noted that several of the
complaints were made by one household in Irvine, and one household in Newport Beach.
During the second quarter of 2016, there were four (4) Tustin area complaint calls, which is
two (2) complaints more than the previous quarter. Tustin staff has outreached to JWA to
gather further details on the nature of the complaints, and to understand how JWA
responds to these complainants. Each of the four (4) complainants had concerns regarding
arrival noise. Three (3) of the complainants did not request follow-up from JWA staff. One
(1) complainant did request a response, and JWA staff spoke with the concerned party
regarding flight patterns and FAA authority over air traffic matters.
To provide an understanding of the trend in Tustin area complaints throughout the years, a
chart displaying the number of noise complaints for the past five years is displayed below
(Figure 3). Generally, there is a noticeable increase in noise complaints during the second
and third quarters, which further supports the theory that an increase in complaints tends
to occur during the warmer months of spring and summer. Overall, the number of
complaints has not reached more than twelve (12) complaints in a single quarter during
this five-year reporting period.

Since noise issues are of considerable importance to the City of Tustin, the Community
Development Department will continue to monitor operations at John Wayne Airport unless
otherwise directed by the City Council. The public are additionally welcome to participate in
John Wayne Airport's Quarterly meetings held by the Access and Noise Office. The next
quarterly meeting will be held on December 14, 2016, at 2:00 p.m. in the Eddie Martin
Administration Building located at 3160 Airway Avenue in Costa Mesa.

INTRODUCTION
This is the 174th Quarterly Report submitted by the County of Orange in accordance with the
requirements of the California Airport Noise Standards (California Administrative Code Title 21, Chapter
2.5, SubChapter 6: Division of Aeronautics Noise Standards). Effective January 1, 1986, the criteria for
defining "Noise Impact Area" was changed from 70 dB to 65 dB Community Noise Equivalent Level
(CNEL). Under this criteria, John Wayne Airport currently has a "Noise Impact Area."
NOISE IMPACT SUMMARY
Caltrans' Aeronautics Program has established guidelines in the California State Noise Standard to control
residential area noise levels produced by aircraft operations using the State's airports. Under those
guidelines, residential noise sensitive areas exposed to an average Community Noise Equivalent Level
(CNEL) of more than 65 dB define the "Noise Impact Area." John Wayne Airport uses ten permanent
remote noise monitoring stations (NMS) located in Newport Beach, Santa Ana, Tustin and Irvine to
measure noise levels, at the following locations:
MONITOR STATIONS
NMS -1 S: Golf Course, 3100 Irvine Ave., Newport Beach NMS -6S: 1912 Santiago, Newport Beach
NMS -2S: 20162 S.W. Birch St., Newport Beach NMS -7S: 1131 Back Bay Drive, Newport Beach
NMS -3S: 2139 Anniversary Lane, Newport Beach NMS -8N: 17372 Eastman Street, Irvine
NMS -4S: 2338 Tustin Ave., Newport Beach NMS -9N: 1300 S. Grand Avenue, Santa Ana
NMS -5S: 324 % Vista Madera, Newport Beach NMS -10N: 17952 Beneta Way, Tustin
The map in Figure 1 shows the general location of each permanent remote monitor station.
Figure 2 shows the Airport's "Noise Impact Area" for the previous year (July 1, 2015 - June 30, 2016).
The Figure 2 information was developed by Mestre-Greve Associates, Inc., in consultation with John
Wayne Airport. CNEL values measured for the period and current digitized land use information were
utilized to calculate the land area acreages, number of residences and estimated number of people within
the "Noise Impact Area".

ACOUSTICAL INSULATION PROGRAM
Four hundred eighteen residences in the Santa Ana Heights area have been sound attenuated and an avigation
easement reserved through the County's Acoustical Insulation Program, which closed in December 2009.
The County has also acquired 46 residences as part of the Purchase Assurance Program, many of which were
acoustically insulated, an avigation easement reserved and then resold. Among these County acquired
homes, those located within areas designated for Business Park uses were razed, avigation easements were
reserved, and the land resold for compatible Business Park uses. A total of 464 residences in the Santa Ana
Heights area have been purchased or otherwise made compatible through the County's Purchase Assurance
and Acoustical Insulation Programs. Seventy-seven dwelling units in Santa Ana Heights remain in the
"Noise Impacted Area" (within 65 dB CNEL contour).
COMPLAINT TOTALS (April 1, 2016 - June 30, 2016)
The Airport's Access and Noise Office receives and investigates noise complaints from local citizens and all
other sources. During April 1, 2016 through June 30, 2016, the Office received 514 complaints from local
citizens. This is a 47.7% increase from the 348 complaints received last quarter. It is a 252.1% increase
from the 146 complaints received during the same quarter last year. Figure 3 shows the distribution of the
quarterly complaints from local communities.

QUARTERLY NOISE MEETING
Date: June 8, 2016
Time: 2:00 PM
Place: Eddie Martin Building
ITEMS DISCUSSED
Laguna Beach resident Michele Monda and Laguna Beach Councilwoman Toni Iseman
discussed concerns regarding flight path changes which they stated began when the STREL
departure procedure was implemented several years ago. They expressed frustration that the
FAA continues to state that nothing has changed. Ms. Monda and Councilwoman Iseman
proposed that a possible solution would be for the carriers to fly out to Catalina Island prior
to turning back inland in order to increase their altitude. They are concerned that the goals of
the FAA's NextGen initiative, such as increasing on-time performance and decreasing fuel
use, do not bode well for their proposed solution.
Jim Mosher, a resident of Newport Beach, discussed two concerns. The first item regarded
the possibility of creating incentives for airlines to fly quieter. Access and Noise Office staff
explained limitations due to the 1990 Airport Noise and Capacity Act. The second item
discussed was regarding the airport's noise monitors and how noise data is reported in the
Noise Abatement Program Quarterly Report. Mr. Mosher had questions about the source of
the data in the report and related airport regulations as well as the sensitivity of the new noise
monitors installed in October 2015 and the side-by-side test conducted prior to the
installation.
