The report describes a study of means for providing relief from aircraft noise annoyance to residents of the vicinity of Logan International Airport, Boston, Massachusetts. The noise exposure situations in 1967 and 1975 are described in terms of such measures as land area, populations, schools, and hospitals affected. Operational noise abatement procedures considered include flight track changes, preferential runway systems, runway threshold shifts, aircraft type restrictions, power cutbacks, and schedule restrictions. Nonoperational abatement procedures considered include land use management and redevelopment, and acoustic insulation. The report also describes the utilization of abatement procedures at other major airports, and presents a generalization of the approaches developed in a form suitable for use by other airport authorities.
