BACKGROUND:
The City has received a copy of the subject Draft EIR and it is appropriate for the City to
comment on the document as it has previously commented on ''Notices of Preparation"
(''NOP'') for this project initially in October 2003 and again in April 2005 on a revised
NOP.
The City received a copy of the most recent "Notice of Preparation and Scoping - Long
Beach Airport Terminal Area Improvements" in April 2005. This document indicated that
the City of Long Beach will prepare a Draft Environmental Impact Report ("DEIR") on the
proposed project, and requested comments from responsible agencies, other agencies, and
the general public, as to what should be covered in the DEIR. The City Council approved
comment letter of ~pril25, 2005 is provided as Attachment 2.
An initial NOP was circulated for agency and public comments in September 2003, and the
City Council approved a comment letter on October 14, 2003. The 2005 NOP informed the
public of modifications that have been made to the proposed project as a result of public
comments received in 2003, and provided another opportunity for mput on the issues to be
addressed in the EIR for the current project

City Council StafJReport .-
December 12. 2005 .,
The DEIR evaluates the potential environmental impacts of a proposed project at the Long
Beach Airport that will consist of the following major project,components:
Holdrooms
Concession Area
Passenger Security Screening Area
Baggage Security Screening
Baggage Claim Devices
Baggage Service Office
Restrooms
Office Space
Ticketing Facilities
Airline Gates
Aircraft Parking Positions
Vehicular Parking
Traffic and Pedestrian Circulation
A summary overview of the proposed improvements at these operating areas of the airport is
provided in Section 2.0, Proiect Description, on pages 2-1 through 2-18 of the DEIR.
Table 2.5-1, Long Beach Airport Passenger Terminal Area Improvements, EIR Alternatives,
provides a detailed summary of the differences between the proposed project, Alternative A
(the 2003 project), and alternatives identified as Alternatives B and C. This table is on
pages 2-9 and 2-10 of the DEIR.
e
The terminal improvements are' being designed to accommodate up to an identified
maximum of 52 commercial carrier flights and 25 commuter flights, the passengers
associated with those flights, and security requirements imposed by the Federal
Transportation Security Administration (TSA). This flight level is anticipated to result in
approximately 3.8 million annual passengers (MAP) being served at Long Beach Airport
(LOB). .
A copy of the concept plan for the terminal improvements is provided as Attachment 3.
The project is designed to serve the current minimum pennitted passenger levels at the
airport. Phasing of the de~elopments proposed for the project would be determined based
on availability of funding and service priorities, and to m;n;m;7.e impacts on airport
operations.
SummtlI'Y of ProposedAction and Environmental Impacts:
Staff has previously provided a complete copy of the DEIR to the City Council, which
provides an overview of the proposed project, location and site plan maps of the proposed
project, and the required l?llvironmental analysis and mitigation measures determined
appropriate to mitigate adverse environmental impacts to a less than significant level.

Dear Ms. Reynolds:

SUBJECT: CITY OF SEAL BEACH COMMENTS RE: "DRAFT
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT 37-03 - LONG
BEACH AIRPORT TERMlNAL IMPROVEMENT
PROJECT (SCH NO. 200309112)"
The City of Seal Beach has reviewed the above referenced Draft Environmental Impact
Report (DEIR) and has several general comments and observations relative to the docmnent,
which are set forth below. . .
The concerns of the City of Seal Beach are heightened upon our review of a recent study
released by the State of California Air Resources Board titled "2005 Drqft Diesel
Particulate Matter Exposure Assessment Study for the Ports of Los Angeles and Long
Beach" (''the ARB Report''). Due to significant health risks identified within the ARB
Report from existing diesel particulate emission from both the Ports of Los Angeles and
Long Beach, and the regional impacts of thoSe identified air emissions, it is requested that a
supplemental analysis of air quality impacts throughout the subject document be prepared
and re-distributed to all interested parties for review and provision of comments prior to
closing the public review and comment period on the DEIR and the preparation of the Final
EIR for this project. This analysis needs, to also consider the cumulative impacts of this
project and the "Draft ElSIElR - Long Beach LNG Import Project (SCH No. 2003091130)",
and the cumulative projects identified in both of these environmental documents,
The ARB Report contains on page 2 and 3 the following key findings that should cause all
parties involved with this project to re-evaluate the impacts of additional diesel particulate
matter emissions upon the region:

Long Beach Airport Terminal Improveme11l Project
(SCHNo.200309112)
City Council Staff Report .-
December 12, 2005 .,
'The key findings from this study are:
[J Diesel PM emissions from the ports are a major contributor to
diesel PM in the SO!lth Coast Air Basin.
The combined diesel PM emissions from the ports are estimated
to be about 1,760 tons per year in 2002. This represents a
significant component of the regional diesel PM emissions for the
South Coast Air Basin (SCAB) at about 21 percent of the total
SCAB diesel PM emissions in 2002. Focusing only on diesel PM
emissions occurring on port property or within California Coastal
Waters (CCW), the emissions from ship activities (transiting,
maneuvering, and hotelling) account for the largest percentage of
emissions at about 73 percent, followed by cargo handling
equipment (10 %), commercial harbor craft vessels (14%), in-port
heavy duty trucks (2%), and in-port locomotives (1 %),
[J Diesel PM emissions from the ports impact a large area and the
associated potential health risks are of significant concern.
Diesel PM emissions from the ports result in elevated cancer risk
levels over the entire 20-mile by 20-mile study area. In areas
near the port boundaries, potential cancer risk levels exceed 500
in a million. As you move away from the ports, the potential
cancer risk levels decrease but continue to exceed 50 in a million
for more than 15 miles.
e
Primary diesel PM emissions from the ports also result in potential
non-cancer health impacts within the modeling receptor domain.
The non-cancer health effects evaluated include premature death,
asthma attacks, work loss days, and minor restricted activity days,
Based on this study, average numbers of cases per year that
would be expected in the modeling area have been estimated as
follows:
[J 29 premature deaths (for ages 30 and older), 14 to 43
deaths as 95% confidence interval (CI);
[J 750 asthma attacks, 180 to 1300 as 95% CI;
[J 6,600 days of work loss (for ages 18-65), 5,600 to 7,600
as 95% CI;
[J 35,000 minor restricted activity days (for ages 18-65),
28,000 to 41,000 as 95% CI.
[J
'Hotelling" emissions from ocean-going vessel auxiliary engines
and emissions from cargo handling equipment are the primary
contributors to the higher pollution related health risks near the
ports.

Approval ofComme11l Letter re: DEIR 37-03-
Long Beach Airport Terminallmprovement Project
(SCH No. 200309112)
City Council Staff Report
December 12, 2005
Hotelling emissions from ocean-going vessels account for about
20 percent of the total diesel PM emissions from the ports, These
emissions are responsible for about 34 percent of the port
emissions related risk in the modeling receptor domain based on
the population-weighted average risk. These emissions resulted
in the largest area (2,036 acres) where the potential cancer risk
levels were greater than 200 in a million in the nearby
communities. The second highest category contributing to cancer
risk levels above 200 in a million was cargo handling equipment,
which impacted a residential area of 410 acres and is responsible
for about 20 percent of the total risk in the modeling receptor
domain based on the population-weighted average risk,
Reducing emissions from these two categories will have the most
dramatic effect on reducing the port emissions related risks in
nearby communities.
o
Emissions from commercial harbor craft, in-port trucks, in-port rail,
and ocean-going vessels (transit and maneuvering activities)
account for a much smaller percentage of the near source risk,
but are an important contributor to elevated cancer risk levels over
a very large area.
Emissions from commercial harbor craft, on-port trucks, on-port
rail, and ocean going vessels (maneuvering and transit activities)
account for about 70 percent of the total diesel PM emissions for
the ports. While emissions from these source categories do not
have a major role in the near port risk levels, they are significant
contributors to the overall elevated risk levels in the study area,
Addressing the emissions from these sources is critical if we are
to significantly reduc;e the exposure of a large population (over 2
million people) to cancer risk levels in the 50 in a million range."l
Comments and Concerns re: Section 3.2, Air Quality and Human Health
Risk Assessment:
Revised Analvsis is ReQuired in Lif!ht of New and Sirmificant Air Duality Information
Not Available at time ofPreoaration of Draft E1R:
As stated above in our comments, it is the position of Seal Beach that a revised "Air
Quality" analysis must be prepared and re-circulated for public review and comments
due to the release by the Air Resources Board of the referenced "2005 Draft Diesel
Particulate Matter Exposure Assessment Study for the Ports of Los Angeles and Long
Beach". This document sets forth significant new information regarding impacts upon

"Air Quality" and "Hazards" that are not discussed., evaluated, and proposed for
mitigation under the current DEIR document. The "Human Health Risk Assessment"
portion of this section of the DEIR should also be revised and updated as appropriate,
based on a review and evaluation of the conclusions and documentation in the ARB
Report. This is particularly important since the DEIR indicates that PMID emissions will
remain significant after imposition of all proposed mitigation measures (Section 3.2.4,
page 3.2-58)
Comments and Concerns re: Section 3.6, Noise:
The City recognjzes that the DEIR presents SENEL levels based on the anticipated
number of flight operations, and the resulting CNEL and SENEL noise contours,
based on the projected number of flights that could be added without airlines or
commuters exceeding their allocated portion of the Community Noise Equivalent
Level (CNEL) noise budget based on the baseline year of 1989 to 1990, not just the
minimum number of flights permitted by the appropriate settlement agreements and
the prpvisions of Chapter 16.43 of the Long Beach Municipal Code.
Exhibit 3.6-10a, "A320, B727, B757-300' and B767-300 Arrival SEL Contour"
clearly indicates portions of Leisure Wodd are impacted by the arrival of all
identified types of aircraft except for the A-320 and are within the 85-90 dBA noise
contours. The DEIR states on page 3.6-16 that:
e
"A SENEL of 90 dBA would produce a maximum noise level of approximately
80 dBA outdoors, directly under the flight path The indoor maximum noise
level for such a flight would be approximately 68 dBA for a home directly
under the flight path The purpose of showing the 85 and 90 SENEL contours
is to provide a comparison of the noise levels generated by different aircraft
types."
A review of the October 11, 2005 ''Noise Budget Calculations for Budget Year
October 1, 2004 to September 30, 2005 indicates that the established noise budget for
RMT Location 10, the arrival noise monitoring station for enforcement of the Long
Beach Airport noise regulations is within the stipulated ''noise budget".
As indicated in our previous comment letters on the ''Notice of Preparation" for this
project, during several of our City Council meetings concerns have been raised by
City Council members and the general public regarding the perceived variances from
the approved flight paths for flights descending into Long Beach Airport, and the low
level of many of those flight operations. There is a concem that the enforcement of
the existing flight approach patterns are not monitored and enforced rigorously
enough by the Airport The City has received complaints from the residents
regarding the noise impacts of these perceived deviations of the allowable arrival
flight patterns. The City has also received comments that airport responses have not

been timely nor have adequately addressed concerns, requiring additional follow up
by City staff.
The City of Seal Beach is extremely disappointed that the DEIR does not present a
clear and thorough presentation of information regarding the number of arriving
flights that deviate from the approved approach patterns, both vertically and
horizontally. The DEIR document needs to be revised to clearly indicate those flight
pattern deviations and to then clearly establish the resulting noise levels that may be
generated by such deviations from the flight patterns, and determine if there are
exceedences of the CNEL and SENEL provisions of Chapter 16.43 of the Long
Beach Municipal Code in those instances. The City of Seal Beach recognizes that the
DEIR includes requested information as to the locations of the current noise
monitoring stations, but again is disappointed that the DEIR does not include an
evaluation as to the necessity of establishing additional noise monitoring locations
within the City of Seal Beach to ensure full and complete compliance with the .
provisions of the appropriate settlement agreements and the provisions of Chapter
16.43 of the Long Beach Municipal Code.
e
In our April 2005 comment letter regarding the NOP for this project the City further
requested that the DEIR provide an "Air Carrier Arrivals Crossing Seal Beach" and a
"Penetration Gate Plot" analysis similar to that provided within the "Long Beach
Airport Brief - Huntington Beach Presentation", dated July 31, 2003 for the
appropriate "gate plot" locations either within Seal Beach or the closest applicable
gate plot locations to our city boundaries. Again, this requested information has not
been provided within the DEIR, and we again request that this information be
provided to allow for full disclosure and a better understanding of the existing
impacts of such flight deviations on the noise environment in Seal Beach, and
particularly within the Leisure World retirement community, which experiences the
SENEL levels of between 85 and 90 dBA..
The Environmental QualitY Control Board considered and discussed this DEIR on
November 30, 2005 and the City Council considered and discussed the DEIR on December
12, 2005 and authorized the Chairman and Mayor, respectively, to sign this letter,
representing the official comments of the City of Seal Beach.
Thank you for your consideration of the comments of the City of Seal Beach. Please do not
hesitate to contact Mr. Lee Whittenberg, Director of Development Services, City Hall, 211

SUBJECT: CITY OF SEAL BEACH COMMENTS RE: NOTICE OF
PREPARATION OF DRAFT EIR - "LONG BEACH
AIRPORT TERMINAL AREA lMfROVEMENT PROJECT'
The City of Seal Beach has reviewed the above referenced Notice of Preparation (NOP) and
has several general comments and observations relative to the document, which are set forth
below. .
The City of Seal Beach recognizes that the scope of the project and the analysis to be
conducted as part of the environmental evaluation of this project has changed based on
comments received during the 2003 scoping process. The City particularly appreciates your
response to our concern of October 14, 2003 regarding the lack of specific information
contained in the then Section 3.0, Description of the Proposed Proiect, on the probable
number of flight operations that could be accommodated. The specification in the current
document of a maximum of 52 flights will allow all reviewing parties to evaluate the
forthcoming EIR document on a consistent basis.
The City also supports the inclusion of the health risk assessment as part of the EIR to
allow for full disclosure of any potential adverse effects based on increased flight
operations that are still within the "noise bucket" provisions of the "Airport Noise
Compatibility Ordinance".
e
We also recognize and support the position that all comments received during the 2003
scoping process will be included and evaluated within the current EIR document, and

December 12, 2005 .,
specifically request that all of previous comments included within our October 14,2003
comment letter be incorporated into this comment letter also,
The City requests that the DEIR thoroughly analyze the project based on the anticipated
number of flight operations, and the resulting CNEL and SENEL noise levels, based on
the projected number of flights that could be added without airlines or commuters
exceeding their allocated portion of the Community Noise Equivalent Level (CNEL)
noise budget based on the baseline year of 1989 to 1990, not just the minimum number of
flights permitted by the appropriate settlement agreements and the provisions of Chapter
16.43 of the Long Beach Municipal Code. The cumulative noise analysis will not be
adequate under CEQA unless it is based on an analysis of the anticipated flight activity,
not the minimum flight activity permitted by the appropriate settlement agreements and
the provisions of Chapter 16.43 of the Long Beach Municipal Code.
During several of our recent City Council meetings con'cems have been raised by City
Council members and the general public regarding the perceived variances from the
approved flight paths for flights descending into Long Beach Airport, and the low level
of many of those flight operations. There is a concern that the enforcement of the
existing flight approach patterns are not be rigorously monitored and enforced by the
Airport. The City has received complaints from the residents regarding the noise impacts
of these perceived deviations of the allowable arrival flight patterns. The City has also
received comments that airport responses have not been timely or have adequately
addressed concerns, requiring additional follow up by City staff.
e
The DEIR should present a clear and thorough presentation of information regarding the
number of arriving flights that that deviate from the approved approach patterns, both
vertically and horizontally. The document needs to clearly establish the resulting noise
levels that may be generated by such deviations for the flight patterns, and determine if
there are exceedences of the CNEL and SENEL provisions of Chapter 16.43 of the Long
Beach Municipal Code in those. instances. The City of Seal Beach requests that the DEIR
include information as to the locations of the current noise monitoring stations, and
evaluation as to the necessity of establishing additional noise monitoring locations within
the City of Seal Beach to ensure full and complete compliance with the provisions of the
. '
appropriate settlement agreements and the provisions of Chapter 16"1-3 of the Long Beach
Municipal Code.
The City further requests that the DEIR provide an "Air Carrier Arrivals Crossing Seal
Beach" and a "Penetration Gate Plot" analysis' similar to that provided within the "Long
Beach Airport Brief - Huntington Beach Presentation", dated July 31, 2003 for the
appropriate "gate plot" locations either within Seal Beach or the closest applicable gate
plot locations to our city boundaries.
During the public comment period on the Draft EIR, our City will provide comments and
concerns as determined appropriate. Again, our primary co!lcerns would be related to

based on past flight operational levels that have occurred within the allowable noise
budget for Long Beach Airport, and the impacts of continuing arrival flight path
deviations over our community.
The City Council considered and discusSed the NOP on April 25, 2005 and authorized the
Mayor to sign this letter, representing the official comments of the City of Seal Beach.

HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
City of Long Beach
California
RECOMMENDATION:
Receive' .and file the attached annual Long Beach Airport Noise Budget Analysis
Report. (District 5)
DISCUSSION
The City's existing Noise Compatibility Ordinance and the 2003' Airline Settlement
Agreement mandate the compilation of monthly, quarterly and annual Air Carrier Noise
Budget Analysis Reports, The Settlement Agreement defined the noise budget calendar
year, from October 1 through September 30, and further stipulated that the annual noise
budget report must be released to the public no later than October 15 of each year and City
Council action, if needed, take place on or before November 1 of each year. The noise
budget report will determine if the air carriers (airlines) are over or under their allotted noise
budget and if supplemental slots (exceeding the 41 slot minimum) can be allocated, The
allocation of supplemental slots would only be considered if and when there was a valid
request and if the allocation would not exceed the noise budget for the year.
In an effort to inform and educate the community on the Airport's noise management
policies and noise budget l]lethodology, Airport staff has continued to provide noise budget
updates at the Airport Advisory Commission meetings and during public presentations,
The Noise Budget Analysis Report for the period ending September 30, 2005, was
compiled by Vince Mestre, Mestre Greve Associates, an acoustical engineering consulting
firm, Vince Mestre, Principal Engineer, has over 25 years of experience in the field of
acoustical analysis. r
The findings of the noise budget analysis, which runs from October 1, 2004 through
September 30, 2005, indicates that the air carriers finished the year over their allowable
budget allowance. Therefore, no supplemental commercial flight slots will be allocated for
2006,
This matter was reviewed by Assistant City Attorney Mike Mais on October 10, 2005.

Subject: Long Beach Airport Noise Budget Calculations For Budget Year October 1, 2004
to September 30, 200S
e Dear Mike,
Mestre Greve Associates has completed the analysis of the Airline Noise Budget for Noise Year
October 1,2004 through September 30,2005 (NY '04-05). The following table compares the
allowed budget with the actual budget used: . .
Location
RMT9
RMT 10
Allowed
BudllCt
70.7
84.6
Actual
Budl!:et Used
80.1
78.3
The data shows that the air carriers operated above the allowed budget at RMT 9 and below the
. allowed budget at RMT 10. Because the air carriers operated above the allowed budget
additional flights cannot be allocated as prescn"bed in the City's Noise Compatibility Ordinance.
- -
The NY '04-05 was significantly impacted by fluctuations in the air carrier fleet mix-relative to
the previous Noise Year. In particular, American Airlines increased their number ofMD80
operations relative to the previous Noise Year and Alaska Airlines introduced MD80 operations
during the Noise Xear. The M080 is noisier than other air carrier passenger aircraft when
departing Long Beach and bas a significant effect on the RMT 9 budget calculations (conversely
the MDSO is quieter than most aircraft on arrival resulting in lower RM'f 10 budget
calculations).

The noise budget status was computed from individual flight data coIlected from the Long Beach
Airport's permanent airport noise monitoring system (ANOMS). Individual data was provided .-
for each of the commercial airline flights arriving and departing from Long Beach Airport during .,
the budget year. The foIlowing paragraphs describe how the computations were done:
An example of 5 flights recorded at RMT 9 are as follows:
Max Date Time Aircraft Type Airline NOlO Runway RMT SEL
10/1/027:06 M080 AAL 0 30 9 99.7
10/1/027:09 A320 JBU 0 30 9 89.8
1011/02 7:11 A320 AWE 0 30 9 88.2
1011/027:17 A320 JBU 0 30 9 94.7
10/1/02 8:Q2 A320 JBU 0 30 9 90
The first column lists the date and time of the flight. The time used for noise budget calculations
is the time that the noise event was recorded. at the monitoring site, not the scheduled flight time.
Subsequent data includes the aircraft type, airline, departure/arrival/overflight, runway utilized,
noise monitor measurement site, and the Sound Exposure Level (SEL), in decibels, as measured
at the RMT (remote monitoring terminal).
It is interesting to note that 4 of the 5 aircraft in the above example are AirbUs A-320's and there
is a substantial range in the measured noise level. There are many factors that contribute to this
range, but the most significant is aircraft weight Aircraft weight is a function of the number of
paSsengers and the distance to the destination. A flight of 2000 miles carries substantially more
fuel that a flight of 250 miles.

Noise Budl!et Calculations and Analvsis
The conversion of the measured SEL at RMT 9 and RMT 10, is done according to the budget
definitions and as prescn"bed in the City's Noise Compatibility OrdinanCe (LBMC 16.43).
The fIrSt step in analyzing the data is to convert the noise measurements made at RMT 9 and
RMT 10 to the noise level at the nearest residences to Runway 12130. For RMT 9 the noise level
is increased by 1.1 dB and at RMT 10 the noise level is increased by 0.9 dB to account for the
fact that the nearest homes arc closer to the runway than the actual monitoring stations.
The next step is to convert the; noise level at the nearest home to an equivalent number of
daytime flights oithe 'standard' aircraft that is built into the budget. Tbis equivalent number of
daytime flights is termed "budget units." The 'standard' aircraft noise level is the SEL that 100
daytime flights would have to have to produce a CNEL of 65 dB at the nearest residence.
The equation for CNEL as a function of SEL and number of daytime flights is as follows:
CNEL - SEL+ 10Log..N.. - 49.4
The above equation can be solved for a value of 65 CNEL and 100 daytime flights and the result
is that the 'standard' aircraft SEL is 94.4 dB. The task of converting the actual SEL to an
equivalent number of budget units is done using the following equation:
lOsano
N = 10....'10
The N computed in the above equation is the number of equivalent noise budget units that are
contributed to the budget for a daytime flight. If the flight OCCUlTed \:letween the bours of 7 pm
and 10 pm, the result is multiplied by a factor of 3. If the flight occurred betWeen the hours of 10
pm Il11d 7 am the result is multiplied by a factor 10. Note that iorpurposes of this computation,
the evening penalty begins at 7:00:00 pm and ends at 9:59:59 pm and the night penalty begins at
10:00:90 pm and ends at 6:59:59 pm. There are no exceptions to the evening and night penalties.
For example an aircraft may begin its takeoffroll prior to 10 pm but produce a noise event at
RMT 9 or 10 after 10 pm. In that case the after 10 pm penalty is applied.
The resulting numbers of equivalent budget units arc then compared to the budget allocations of
70.7 budget units at RMT 9, and 84.6 at RMT 10. The budget allocations were based on the
1989190 baseline actual noise level and industrial aircraft forecast as prescribed in the federal
court approved and fedliraI code-grandfathered Long Beach Airport Noise Compatibility
Ordinance LBMC 16.43).

The Long Beach Ordinance provides for allocating additional flights for the next budget year if it
is clear that such additional flights will not cause the air carrier budget to be exceeded. Based
upon our findings, additional flights cannot be allocated with the assurance that NY '05-06
budget will not be eltceeded.
If you have any questions please do not hesitate to call.
Yours very truly,
Mestre GJ'lve tes
