<br />Page 1 of 34 <br /> <br /> <br />Executive Summary <br /> <br />In late 2018, ABCx2 was engaged by the Town of Superior to help identify <br />solutions to the growing impact of aircraft noise attributed to operations at the Rocky <br />Mountain Metropolitan Airport (RMMA). ABCx2 initiated work in November of 2018 <br />and the City of Louisville joined the effort in early 2019. <br />The consulting team’s approach was broken into three phases. Phase I focused on <br />assessing existing conditions including airspace, flight procedures, airport fleet mix, <br />operation levels, etc. This also involved researching community issues and concerns, <br />complaint records, and community input provided to the Airport, Superior, and Louisville. <br />The baseline assessment also included direct community and industry engagement efforts. <br />Phase II of this effort involved developing a portfolio of strategy recommendations <br />to be implemented by the key stakeholders. These include the Town of Superior, City of <br />Louisville, Jefferson County, Boulder County, the Airport, Airport Tenants, and the <br />Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). While these recommendations will not silence <br />the aircraft operating in and out of RMMA, nor are they expected to eliminate 100% of the <br />community concerns over aircraft operations, they are intended to help both the airport and <br />the surrounding communities co-exist, and to help maintain the quality of life within the <br />region. At the same time, these efforts are intended to help the airport operate in a <br />sustainable and community-friendly way. <br />The strategic recommendations are broken down into five individual, but <br />interdependent functional areas: <br />• Flight Procedures, Practices, and Policies <br />• Community Outreach and Engagement <br />• Industry Outreach and Engagement <br />• Land-Use Planning and Development <br />• Regional Collaboration <br />
