Kenai Airport Fuel Service, Interim Remedial Action Plan Revision/ti
UST Facility ID #2187, Reckey #90230026801
Dear Mr. Hor~vath: .
At the direction of Dan Pitts and Dean Eichholz, the tbllowing revision to the interim action plan
dated November 10, 2001 is submitted for your review and approval. The revision, shown in
plan view on Figure 3 (attached), consists of excavating the area bet~veen the existing culverts to
groundwater to create an evaporation pond. It is anticipated that the pond will increase the
volatilization of gasoline contaminants that are migrating off' the subject property. The pond
may also make it possible to evaluate the effectiveness of the sparge system by visually
examining the distribution of air bubbles generated by the sparge line.
The main component of the original remedial action plan consisted of installing 140 lineal feet of
horizontal air sparge line to reduce the off-site migration of contaminants to cleanup levels. The
proposed sparge line would be about 20 feet south of the Flying Network apron~about I0 feet
up-slope of existing drainage s~vale. The flow line of the swale aligns with a 30 inch diameter
corrugated metal pipe (CMP) culvert on the west and a 24 inch CMP on the east. The layout of
the proposed design is shown on Figure 1 (attached). The sparge line would be installed in a
trench', about 1 1/2 feet below the ground water table, with drain rock placed above the pipe to
the water surface. The trench cross section and construction notes for the original design are
attached (Figure 2).
The pond will be about 110-120 feet long, about 5-10' wide at the west and 20-25' wide at the
east. The centerline of the pond will be excavated 4-5 feet. The sides around the pond will be
sloped no steeper than 3H'l V to minimize erosion and possible undercutting of the nearby
pavement. New chain link fence will be added to the existing fence to restrict access to the pond.
There will be a 3' wide access gate near monitor well MW-6. The added portion of the fence
will be removed and the pond will be filled to the existing grades after the remedial action has
been completed and approved by the department.
Construction of the horizontal air sparge trench will be similar to the original design except there
will be less backfill over the trench, the drain rock over the sparge line will be closer to the
INTERIM REMEDIAL ACTION PLAN FOR KENAI AIRPORT FUEL SERVICEmREVISION #1
surface, the trench will be closer to the 30" CMP, and the deeper excavation for the pond may
allow the sparge line to be installed deeper. Figure 4 is shows a typical cross section at the 30"
CMP. The approximate location of the proposed sparge trench is shown
We recommend excavating the pond and installing the trench as soon as weather permits and the
water table drops within 0.5 foot of the seasonal Iow to allow for the deepest possible installation
of the sparge line. We propose to monitor the water table monthly and schedule the installation
as soon as the water table approaches the desired level. We estimate this will occur before April
15,2002.

Dear Rebecca:
It was a pleasure to catch up with you again in Kenai last week. I appreciated your hospitality and
time spent getting me acquainted with the community, City and airport staff, and the Kenai Airport
Commission.
It is apparent you and the community are interested in growth, but that it should be done in a
thoughtful and well-planned manner. I was impressed with the enthusiasm and support of your Airport
Commission, and your dedication to managing the airport according to industry and Federal Aviation
Administration standards. Kenai is fortunate to have you.
DOWL Engineers is interested in supporting development of the Kenai Airport and development in the
community. If there is ever anything we can do to help, please let me know.
Thanks again for your hospitality.
Sincerely,
DOWL Engineers

NOISE REDUCTION TIP'S
Aircraft noise can be less than that of a busy highway or a large, busy office but it is often
perceived as louder and more pervasive. You could play music at the same decibel level as
an aircraft passing overhead but music is perceived as pleasant while the aircraft may be
perceived as harsh and intrusive.
Whether perceptions am accurate or not, airports around the country have been forced to
take steps to monitor and enforce aircraft noise reductions and institute operating time
restrictions. Help us help you! As a pilot, we ask you to consider the impact of over flights to
surrounding neighborhoods and reduce noise whenever possible.
A pilot's first responsibility is the safety of passengers and people on the ground. Any noise
reduction measure must be safo and practical given the personal capabilities of the pilot, the
aimraff, and the prevailing conditions at the time.
Please fly friendly by using these noise reduction procedures whenever safe and practical
under the prevailing conditions. Thank you for your cooperation!
Kee_~ the _orooeller as slow as _oossible. The principal noise source is the propeller.
Reducing rpm's as soon after takeoff as safely possible can significantly reduce noise.
Reducing rpm's is the single most effective thing a pilot can do.
Flv as high as _oossible as soon as Dossible. Use the' best angle of climb speed or
th~ best rate of climb when overflying neighborhoods. Doubling the altitude, from 600
to 1200 feet, can decrease the noise levels by half. Increasing altitude is the most
effective ta~ic for fixed pitch aimraft.

Clean, stable, Iow power, Iow drag approaches are significantly quieter.

attention getting sounds. Aimraft engine changes in pitch or volume of sound
attracts attention.
The ' ' _ -- ' 'ghborhoods whenever possible by flying
· route of travel ~s ~moort_nnt. Avoid ne~
over industdal areas or busy highways. Or, fly over the least densely populated areas.
If _oossible. Dian your trios during the day or early evenirlc. Avoid departures
when people tend to be sleeping. Aircraft noise is p~rceived as louder at night (10:00
pm to 7:00 am) because the rest of the community is quieter (background noise is less
from traffic,etc.). Likewise, aircraft noise over quieter, more rural areas, with less
background noise seems louder.
AIRCRAFT NOISE TERMINOLOGY
A number of acoustical terms are commonly used to
describe aircraft noise. These terms form the basis for most
noise analyses conducted in the U.S.
The Decibel, dB
All sounds come from a sound source -- a musical
instrument, a voice, an airplane. The ener~ which
produces these sounds is transmitted through the air in
sound waves, or sound pressures, which impinge on the
ear, creating the sound we hear.
We use logarithms to express a ratio of two pressures; the
first is the sound source and the second the reference
pressure (the quietest sound we can hear). This ratio is
referred to as a sound pressure level (SPL), which is
expressed in decibels (dB). This logarithmic conversion
means that the quietest sound we can hear has a SPL of 0
dB, while the loudest sounds we can hear have SPLs of
about 120 dB. Most environmental sounds have SPLs
ranging from 30 to 100 dB.
Because decibels are logarithmic, they do not behave like
other numbers. For example, if two sound sources each
produce 100 dB, when they are operated together they
will produce 103 dB -- not 200 dB! Four equal sources
operating together again double the sound energy, resulting
in a total SPL of 106 dB, and so on. In addition, if one
source is much louder than another, the two sources
operating together will produce the same SPL as if the
louder source were operating alone. For example, a 100
dB source plus an 80 dB source produce 100 dB when
operating together. The louder source masks the quieter
one.
Two useful rules of thumb to remember when comparing
SPLs are: (I) most of us perceive a six to ten dB increase in
SPL to be about a doubling of loudness, and (2) changes in
SPL of less than about three dB are not easily detected
outside of a laboratory.
The A-Weighted Sound Level, dB(A)
Frequency, or "pitch" is an important characteristic of sound.
When analyzin~ noise, we are interested in how much is
Iow-, middle- and high-frequency noise. This breakdown
is important for two reasons. First, our ears are better
equipped to hear mid- and high- frequencies; thus~ we find
mid- and hi,h-frequency noise more annoying. Hi[h
frequency noise also produces more hearin~ loss. Second,
engineenn~ solutions to noise problems are different for
different frequency ranges. Low-frequency noise generally
is harder to control. The normal frequency range of
hearing for most people extends from about 20 to 15,000
Hertz (Hz). The "A~ filter approximates the sensitivity of our
ear and help us to assess the relative loudness of various
sounds.
Maximum A-weighted Sound Level, L
max
A-weighted sound levels vary with time. For example, the
sound increases as an aircraft approaches, then falls and
blends into the background as the aircraft recedes into the
distance. Figure t illustrates this phenomenon.

Figure 1. A-weighted Sound Levels over Time
Because of this variation, it is often convenient to describe
a particular noise "event" by its maximum sound level
(Lmax).' In Figure I, the level increases as the aircraft
approacnes, reaching an Lmax of 85 dB(A), and then
decreases as the aircraft passes by. The ambient
A-weighted level around 55 dB(A)is due to the background
sounds that dominate before and after the aircraft passes.
Figure 2 shows Lmax for a variety of common
environmental sound sources.

Figure 2. Common Environmental Sound Levels
Note that Lmax describes only one dimension of an event;
it provides no information on the cumulative noise
exposure generated by a sound source. In fact, two events
with identical Lmax may produce very different total
exposures. One may be of very short duration, while the
other may be much longer.
Sound Exposure Level, S EL
The most common measure of cumulative noise exposure
for a single aircraft flyover is the Sound Exposure Level
(SEL). SEL is a summation of the A-weighted sound ener3y
HARRIS MILLER MILLER & HANSON INC.
over the duration of a noise event. The shaded area in
Figure 3 shows that portion of the sound ener3y included
in this event. Mathematically, the SEL equation compresses
this noise ener3y into a column one second wide (shown
as the darkly shaded area in Figure 3). The height of the
column is the SEL, measured in decibels.

Figure 3. SOund Exposure Level

Because the SEL is normalized to one second, it will almost
always be larger in magnitude than the Lmax for the event.
In fact, for most aircraft events, the SEL is about 7 to 12 dB
higher than the Lm~ Also, the fact that it is a cumulative
measure means that a higher SEL can"result from either.'a
louder or longer event, or some combination.
SEL provides a comprehensive.. Way to describe noise
events for use in modeling and comparing .noise
environments. Computer noise models base their
computations on these SELs.
Equivalent Sound Level, L
The Equivalent Sound Level (Leq) is a measure of the
exposure resulting from the accumulation of A-weighted
sound levels over a particular period of interest -- for
example, an hour, an eight hour school day, nighttime, or
a full 24-hour day. Leq is a constant sound level over a
certain time pedod that contains the same sound energy as
the time-varying sound level, Figure 4 illustrates Leq.
Leq is affected by the number and loudness of noise events
occurring during the time period of interest. Additional
noise events (regardless of how loud or quiet) will always
increase the Leq; however, loud events will dominate the
LecI. It is important to recognize that the constant signal and
the time-varying signal would sound very different if
compared in real life: the time-varyin~ noise cleady has
periods when the fluctuatin~ A-wei§hted sound level
exceeds the equivalent constant sound level.

Leq = 76
In airport applications, Leq is often presented for
consecutive one-hour periods to illustrate how houdy noise
levels rises and fall throughout the day, as well as how
certain hours are significanUy affected by a few loud events.
Day-Night Average Sound Level, DNL
The Day-Night Average Sound Level (DNL) represents
noise as it occurs over a 24-hour period. It is the same as
a 24-hour Leq, with one important exception: DNL treats
nighttime no~e differently from daytime noise. In
determining DNL, it is assumed that the A-weighted levels
occumng at night (10 p.m. to 7 a.m.) are t0 dB louder than
they really are. This 10 dB penalty is applied to account for
greater sensitivity to nighttime noise, and the fact that events
at night are often perceived to be more intrusive because
nighttime ambient noise is less than daytime ambient noise.
Figure I illustrated the A-weighted sound level due to an
aircraft fly-over as it changed over time. The top frame of
Figure 5 repeats this figure. The shaded area reflects the
noise dose that a listener receives during the one minute
period of the sample. The center frame of Figure 5
includes this one-minute interval within a full hour. Now
the shaded area represents the noise during that hour with
16 noise events, each producing an SEL. Similarly, the

bottom frame indudes the one-hour intenral within a f~l124-
hours. Here the shaded area represents the listeners noise
dose over a complete day. Note that several overflights
occur at night, when the background noise drops some 10
dB, to approximately 45 dB(A).
Figure 6 presents a representative sample of DNL
measured at various locations in the U.S.
Values of DNL normally can be measured with standard
monitoring equipment or predicted with computer models.
Most aircraft noise studies utilize computer-generated
estimates of DNL, determined by accounting for all of the
SELs from individual events which comprise the total noise
dose at a given location on the ground.

Transportation Security Administration To Map Security Procedures
At Selected Airports Nationwide
The U.S. Department of Transportation' s T~'ansportation Security Administration (TSA)
today announced that it will study security procedures and processes at 15 selected U.S.
airports. The result of the studies, to be conducted over the next six weeks, will be used
to achieve security improvements at all 429 U.S. airports with commercial service.
%Vhile each airport is unique, we seek to achieve a system that emphasizes consistency,
both in security and in the treatment of travelers," said Transportation Secretary Norman
Y. Mineta. "These studies will provide an important tool to enhance airport security
systems nationwide."
TSA staff, enhanced by a team of business process consultants will trace the movemem
