PHASE 1 - PROJECT OBJECTIVES

The two primary objectives for Phase 1 were to: (1) reach a detailed understanding of existing air traffic procedures and aircraft noise exposure; and (2) identify through qualitative and quantitative analysis noise abatement measures that can provide noise relief to communities surrounding Boston Logan International Airport that can be implemented as early as feasible. The Phase 1 Scope of Work was developed to achieve the two main objectives. Milestones were identified to serve as a means to measure progress towards achieving the two objectives.
