Gateway’s most recent noise contours Gateway Airport Master Plan Concept Gateway Airport Layout Plan Gateway Airport Passenger Enplanement and Operations Forecast I have enclosed those in the attached .zip file. The noise contours are from 2017 and are our planning scenario noise contours, so they will not be changed for some time. Those are attached as a projected GIS shapefile. The others are PDF documents. I’m hoping that meets your intended needs. A GIS Tech could georeference the PDF images in to overlay on any maps you might want to include them on as they are a combination of GIS and CAD data layers. The forecast is from the FAA’s Terminal Area Forecast, which is updated annually. Adjustments were made after 2020 to account for the pandemic and recovery. I would focus on the ‘Enplanements’ ‘Total’ and you can double that number to estimate the total passengers served as it is close to a 50/50 split. For operations (takeoffs and landings) you can use the ‘Total Ops’ column. Also, below are a few links to information on the FAA’s Part 77 and 7460 evaluation process. New railways in proximity to airports do meet the criteria to file an evaluation and they will typically set the elevation of the railcars above the track at 23’ unless another height is known. New users may need to set up a quick profile with the FAA with the link below when filing any cases. As mentioned, if there are other structures that may be needed, such as light poles or crossing lift gates, we can model some heights in software here to see if an airspace penetration would be expected. Obstruction Evaluation / Airport Airspace Analysis (OE/AAA) (faa.gov) https://www.faa.gov/documentLibrary/media/Form/FAA_Form_7460-1_022020.pdf I would appreciate if you could provide the proposed alignments and the environmental sites you included on the presentation maps in GIS format (.shp or .gdb) and I could overlay those in our GIS. Let me know if you encounter any issues with the attached files.
