Initial Meeting
The Community Member Focus Group had its first meeting on June 10th.
This is just a summary of some of the key points from the meeting
The FAA is the ultimate decision maker for any recommendations about airport noise
These Part 150 Noise Studies generally take 2 to 2.5 years to complete. A major part of the timeline is the time reserved for the FAA to review the study and recommendations.
Consultants have been retained to perform the AEDT noise modelling- the only noise measurements that the FAA recognizes as being valid. The consultants are also collecting and doing ground truth on current land use surrounding the airport.
The Part 150 Study is:
o Undertaken voluntarily by the airport
o Its results can be used to obtain FAA funding for noise mitigation recommendations
· The Part 150 Study is not:
o A way to close of limit the use of the airport
o A way to address air quality concerns related to aircraft exhaust emissions
o A way to shift noise from one community to another
Given the constraints of such studies, the types of options to address airport noise could include changes to operational procedures, residential sound proofing improvements, and land acquisition within high

The area where Broomfield currently sits was on the edge of the Western Interior Seaway during the Cretaceous Period about 65 million years ago. The seaway ran from the arctic to the Gulf Coast, and its beach provided a natural migration path for the dinosaurs up to the time when they bacame extinct. This article deals with the geology of the area, the environment where these rocks were deposited, and the types of fossils associated with them.

The County of Broomfield is a recent creation, only dating back to 2001. Much of Broomfield’s development is associated with the construction of the Broomfield Heights subdivision in the mid 1950s, but it should be obvious that people lived and worked here well before that time. This article is an attempt to provide a bit of an overview of the places—where yesterday is still on view—that provide historical context of the development of the area over time, focusing on public and commercial structures.The County of Broomfield is a recent creation, only dating back to 2001.

Improved transportation access by rail was an important factor in the transformation of Broomfield, Colorado from a sparsely populated agricultural area to a more formally recognizable town. Somewhat surprisingly, the introduction of trains and interurban service was accompanied by significant wrecks and accidents which continued into modern times associated with diesel locomotives, electric signals, and radio communications. This article deals with many of the known incidents and what lessons they may have for us today associated with the potential reintroduction of passenger service over the same line between Denver and Boulder.

Traces the development of the Great Western Reservoir in Broomfield, Colorado from its creation as a source of irrigation water for large farms along the Front Range into a municipal water supply, and the impacts of environmental contamination leading to its present day use as a source of non-potable irrigation water.

A short article on local history, and how it differs from news reporting. It specifically focusses on the importance of oral history collection in a location like Broomfield, Colorado which might have not seemed particularly newsworthy in earlier times.A short article on local history, and how it differs from news reporting.
