Upgrades may include replacement of windows and doors with acoustically rated products and installation or upgrade of ventilation systems. The sound insulation treatments are designed to reduce the interior noise levels to below 45 DNL and provide a minimum noise level reduction of 5dB. PHASES OF THE RESIDENTIAL SOUND INSULATION PROGRAM (RSIP) 1. Sound Insulation Pilot Project (Phase 1) ($1.5M). This Program includes: Program formulation, Home eligibility determination, project schedule for this Phase 1 portion included 9 properties, and construction improvements are substantially complete. The close out is ongoing with the contractor. 2. Residential Sound Insulation Project - Phase 2 ($2.20M) The purpose of the project was to convert incompatible residential units to a compatible land use by installing an acoustical treatment package which will provide relief from aircraft noise by upgrading interior living areas as defined in the Phase 1 project and the Noise Compatibility Program. The Airport continued implementation of its Residential Sound Insulation Program (RSIP). This grant included: community outreach, historic review, design and bidding of 52 homes, noise reduction of 6 homes which construction improvements were substantially completed and close out is Page 20 of 41  Page 2 of 6 ongoing with the contractor. Properties were located within the 70+ DNL FAA accepted 2023 noise contours. The installation of noise reduction materials for the 5 properties was completed. Materials were purchased for the 6th property however the homeowner left the area. It will be completed with the next phase of homes. The close out is ongoing with the contractor. 3. Residential Sound Insulation Project - Phase 3 ($6.2M). The Airport is continued implementation of its Residential Sound Insulation Program (RSIP) as described in more detail above. This grant was issued and includes: the construction improvements of the 52 Homes designed and bid in Phase 2, in addition it provides for community outreach, historic review, design and bidding of the next approximately 50 homes for improvements. The schedule for installing the noise insulating improvements for the 52 homes started in 2024. The Construction Improvements has started on this phase of homes and will continue through October 2025. See status below as of 20250820: Page 21 of 41  Page 3 of 6 4. Residential Sound Insulation Project - Phase 4 ($3.9M EST.). The Airport is proposing to continue implementation of its Residential Sound Insulation Program (RSIP) as described in more detail above. We are currently reviewing the status of the programing and will be able to detail this in our next month’s airport commission meeting. The initial grant for 16 of the 50 homes for construction improvements was submitted grant was received from the FAA. Also in the grant was the funding for the next 50 homes. As discussed we are completing the required new acoustical testing for the balance of the 50 homes so we can do a follow grant application on those homes. (See update above) The Buy American process moving forward but awaiting grant for the 16 homes. We received the grant for this phase however; the amount ($)’s was slightly less than what the application was. Based on instructions from the FAA we will leave the scope intact for this project and just amend the grant during closure. The Contact with Strong Tower to start construction improvements has been signed. Strong Tower has completed the submittals for this phase. Construction is anticipated to start in October. RSIP Phase Status Chart & Timeline 2025 Page 22 of 41  Page 4 of 6 5. Residential Sound Insulation Project - Phase 5 ($2.4M EST.). The Airport is proposing to continue implementation of its Residential Sound Insulation Program (RSIP) as described in the first paragraph in this report. It includes the construction improvements of 6 units that remain in the above 70 DNL contour. Also, due to the change in the FAA acoustical requirement additional funding is being requested for homes in outreach from Phase 4. We submitted a grant application to the FAA on April 28, 2025 for this phase. The grant was just recently issued. Contract documents and submittals are in progress. Page 23 of 41  Page 5 of 6 6. Noise Exposure Map Updates (NEM) (est. $.85M). The purpose of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) grant is to prepare a 14 C.F.R Part 150 Noise Exposure Map (NEM) update for Patrick Leahy Burlington International Airport (Leahy BTV). The NEM Update replaced the maps which were accepted by the FAA in 2019.
