Re: Boston Logan International Airport 2017 Environmental Status and Planning Report - EEA
#3247
Dear Secretary Theoharides and Director Buckley:
On behalf of the Massachusetts Port Authority (Massport), we are pleased to submit this 2017
Environmental Status and Planning Report (ESPR) for Boston Logan International Airport. This filing
continues Massport’s nearly four-decade practice of providing an extensive record of Logan Airport
environmental trends, facility planning, operations and passenger levels, and Massport’s mitigation
commitments. This ESPR focuses both on current and recent operational and environmental
conditions at Logan Airport and looks forward in an effort to project likely future conditions over the
next 10-15+ years. Fundamental to this analysis is a new set of aviation forecasts that look both at
the drivers of Logan Airport’s recent and future growth as well as the likely changes in passenger
levels, annual aircraft operations, aircraft fleet, and how both passengers and employees get to and
from Logan Airport.
The recent growth at Logan Airport is attributed to the strong local, regional, and national economies
and its role as the major airport to a region that is the home to world-class educational and medical
institutions, cutting-edge technology companies, rich historical resources, and extensive tourism. It is
within this context that Logan has experienced significant growth. Like elsewhere throughout the
metropolitan area, this growth often creates challenges; this ESPR outlines a range of operational
and environmental mitigation strategies Massport is implementing to address those current and
future challenges.
Consistent with the recent Environmental Data Reports (EDR), this ESPR focuses on a number of
evolving issues including: (1) continued rapid growth in domestic and international passenger
demand, (2) the effects of transportation network companies (TNC) such as Uber and Lyft on ground
access, (3) Massport strategies to reduce airport-wide emissions including those associated with
vehicle trips, and (4) noise abatement. A few key findings on these topics follow.
• Passenger Growth . Due to the regional economic conditions, passenger activity at Logan is
continuing to outpace both national averages and the forecasts presented in the 2011 ESPR .
Logan has also experienced a growth in aircraft operations; however, passenger growth
continues to far outpace the increase in aircraft operations. This trend supports Massport’s long-
standing goals to reduce overall operating and environmental impacts at Boston Logan
International Airport.

Secretary Kathleen A. Theoharides Page 2 July 30, 2019
• Ground Access/TNCs . The TNCs such as Lyft and Uber, that did not exist just a few years ago, are
now significant providers of Logan Airport passenger ground access/egress. This 2017 ESPR
provides a detailed update on the status of Logan TNC operations and the measures Massport
has implemented to both reduce the daily TNC trips and reinforce use of Logan’s wide range of
high occupancy vehicle (HOV) alternatives.
• HOV Strategies . For many years, Logan has had one of the highest percentages of any airport in
the United States for passenger use of HOV. In addition to transit access, Massport’s Logan
Express system is a key reason for this high HOV utilization. Massport’s strategies for doubling
Logan Express ridership, including a number of measures already implemented, are outlined in
Chapter 5, Ground Access to and from Logan Airport.
• Emissions Reduction . Massport has committed to a broad range of emission reduction strategies
that build on long-standing programs. These include constructing and operating LEED buildings,
expanding our renewable energy sources, investing in low and zero emission vehicles that
complement our HOV initiatives and other energy efficiency programs. Most notable is a recent
commitment to phase out over 1,000 diesel- and gas-powered ground service equipment (GSE)
by 2027 (as equipment is commercially available). GSE represent one of the largest sources of
airfield emissions after aircraft.
• Noise Abatement. As described beginning in the earliest phases of these reports, FAA and
Massport implement numerous noise abatement strategies. Most recently, Massport has worked
with FAA to better understand the implications of performance-based navigation (such as area
navigation [RNAV]) and evaluate strategies to address community concerns. Massport has also
successfully advocated for jetBlue Airways to retrofit its Airbus 320 fleet with noise-reducing
“vortex generators.” Both of these measures are expected to have a significant benefit in
reducing aircraft noise.
The ESPR provides an update on the status of ongoing Logan Airport projects including the Terminal E
Modernization Project, the Logan Airport Parking Project, other terminal and roadway projects as
well as planning and environmental initiatives. Chapter 3, Airport Planning also previews planned and
potential new projects and programs.
ESPR Content and Structure
The 2017 ESPR responds to the Secretary’s Certificate on the Boston Logan International Airport 2016
Environmental Data Report dated August 10, 2018. The ESPR also updates 2017 (and later where
available) conditions for the following categories:
• Passenger levels, aircraft operations, aircraft fleets, and cargo volumes;
• Planning, design, and construction activities at Logan Airport;
• Regional transportation statistics and initiatives;
• Key environmental indicators (Ground Access, Noise Abatement, Air Quality/Emissions
Reduction, and Environmental Compliance and Management/Water Quality);
• Status of Logan Airport project mitigation; and
• Sustainability initiatives.

Secretary Kathleen A. Theoharides Page 3 July 30, 2019
The 2017 ESPR includes the Secretary’s Certificate on the Boston Logan International Airport 2016
EDR , the 2018 Notice of Project Change (NPC) and associated comment letters. Recent Certificates
received on the Logan Airport Parking Project (EEA# 15665) and Terminal E Modernization Project
(EEA# 15434), which included items to be addressed in future EDRs and the ESPR are also included.
Appendix D, Distribution presents the ESPR distribution list and supporting technical appendices are
included in the attached CD. Please note that similar to the 2012/2013 EDR , Massport has requested
the EEA Secretary’s consideration of combining the 2018 and 2019 EDR; a proposed scope for a
combined 2018/2019 EDR is included as Appendix C, Proposed Scope for the 2018/2019 EDR .
Review Period, Distribution, and Consultation
Massport has requested EEA’s consideration of an extended 60-day public comment period for this
ESPR in consideration of the summer filing date. Based on this request, the public comment period will
begin on August 7, 2019, the publication date of the next MEPA Environmental Monitor , and will end
on October 11, 2019. The distribution list included as Appendix D indicates which listed parties will
receive a digital and/or printed copy of this EDR or notice of availability. As with the recent EDRs and
other Massport environmental filings, this ESPR is presented in its entirety on Massport’s website
( http://www.massport.com/massport/about-massport/project-environmental-filings/ ).
A consultation session on the 2017 ESPR is planned for late September in the Cathy Leonard-

Introduction/Executive Summary
Introduction
The Massachusetts Port Authority (Massport) is continuing its over three-decade practice of providing an
extensive record of Boston Logan International Airport (Logan Airport or Airport) environmental trends, facility
planning, operations and passenger levels, and Massport’s mitigation commitments in this Boston Logan
International Airport 2017 Environmental Status and Planning Report (ESPR) .
Logan Airport, owned and operated by Massport, plays a key role in the metropolitan
Boston and New England passenger and freight transportation networks; it is the primary
airport serving the Boston metropolitan area, the principal New England airport for
long-haul services, and a major U.S. international gateway airport for transatlantic
services. The Airport boundary encompasses approximately 2,400 acres in East Boston and
Winthrop, including approximately 700 acres in Boston Harbor. Logan Airport’s airfield
comprises six runways, approximately 15 miles of taxiway, and approximately 240 acres of concrete and asphalt
apron. Logan Airport has four interconnected passenger terminals (Terminals A, B, C, and E), each with its own
ticketing, baggage claim, and ground transportation facilities. The Airport is less than a three-mile drive from
downtown Boston and is accessible by two public transit lines, five direct bus lines, and a well-connected
roadway system. Massport provides Logan Express bus service to and from Logan Airport for air passengers and
employees from park-and-ride lots in Braintree, Framingham, Woburn, and Peabody; Massport also provides
urban Logan Express service from Boston’s Back Bay area.
This 2017 ESPR is one in a series of annual environmental review documents submitted to the Secretary of the
Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs (EEA), in accordance with the Massachusetts Environmental
Policy Act (MEPA). 1 Since 1979, Massport has submitted these documents to report on the cumulative
environmental effects of Logan Airport’s operations and activities. Logan Airport is the first airport in the nation
for which an annual environmental assessment on airport activities was prepared, and Massport continues to be
a leader in environmental reporting.
Approximately every five years, Massport prepares an ESPR, which provides a historical and prospective view of
Logan Airport. Environmental Data Reports (EDRs), prepared annually in the intervals between ESPRs, provide a
review of environmental conditions for the reporting year compared to the previous year. This 2017 ESPR follows
the 2016 EDR and reports on 2017 and future conditions.
1 Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 30, Sections 61-62H. MEPA is implemented by regulations published at 301 Code of Massachusetts
Regulations (CMR) 11.00 (“the MEPA Regulations”).

Logan Airport Planning Context
Logan Airport plays a key role in the metropolitan Boston and New England passenger and freight transportation
networks. The Airport is one of the most land-constrained airports in the nation and is surrounded on three sides
by Boston Harbor (see Figures 1-3 and 1-4 ). As shown in Figure 1-2 , Logan Airport could fit 14 times within the
boundary of Denver International Airport.
Figure 1-1 Logan Airport Rankings, 2017
Source: ACI, 2017; U.S. Department of Transportation T-100 Database, 2017.
Note: A U.S. international passenger gateway refers to a U.S. port of entry for passengers traveling internationally.
Logan Airport ranks 12th among other U.S. airports with international service, in terms of total number of
international enplaned passengers.

Passenger and Aircraft Activity Growth at Logan Airport
In 2017, air passenger activity levels at Logan Airport reached an all-time high of 38.4 million, an increase
of 5.9 percent over 2016. Aircraft operations increased at a slower rate, totaling 401,371 in 2017, an
increase of 2.6 percent over 2016. This trend continued in 2018 with air passenger activity levels of
40.9 million and aircraft operations totaling 424,024 ( Figure 1-5 ). The growth is directly correlated to the
strong national and regional economies. Aircraft operations remain well below the 487,996 operations in
2000 and the historic peak of 507,449 operations reached in 1998 ( Figure 1-6 ). The slower growth in
aircraft operations compared to passenger levels is due to the steady increase in aircraft size and
improving aircraft load factors (passengers/available seats).

Strong Regional Economy Drives Growth at Logan Airport
Growth at Logan Airport can be attributed to the strong local, regional, and national economies. With this
growth comes challenges, and Massport has a strategy to address these challenges in a manner that will
allow Logan Airport to evolve in a sustainable and environmentally-responsible way.
Logan Airport is the largest airport in the six-state New England region, which has a population of
approximately 14.8 million residents. The Airport is located in Massachusetts, which is home to 6.8 million
residents, or 47 percent of the total population of New England. The Airport serves passengers from
across New England, with its primary catchment area consisting of five Massachusetts counties: Essex,
Middlesex, Norfolk, Plymouth, and Suffolk (which includes the City of Boston). According to the most
recently available statistics, 4.4 million people reside in this five-county area, and population within the
catchment area is projected to increase by 0.5 percent per year over the next 19 years. 2 The Boston
metropolitan area has consistently maintained a lower unemployment rate (3.4 percent) than that of the
Commonwealth (3.7 percent) and the entire country (4.4 percent). 3 The Airport not only serves a growing
population, but a high earning one as well. Per capita income in 2017 was $65,941 (2009 U.S. dollars) in
the Airport’s primary service area, 11.2 percent higher than the Commonwealth and 45.5 percent higher
than the national average. 4
Logan Airport is a key transportation and economic resource in the New England region, the state, and
the Boston metropolitan area, which is home to a broad range of industries. The industries accounting for
the largest share of employees include: healthcare and social assistance; educational services; and
professional, scientific, and technology services (which include Boston’s growing biotech industry). 5 In
2017, Boston was declared the “#1 city in the U.S. for fostering entrepreneurial growth and innovation.” 6
The contribution of innovation and business start-ups is also evident in the latest 2017 year-to-date
economic growth estimates and reflects trends in increased employment and high-tech industries.

Notes: “Massachusetts Totals” refers to the total economic output of all Massachusetts airports.
In addition to supporting the growth and economic success of the state, Logan Airport and the airport
industry are important elements in the state and regional economy. The Massachusetts Statewide Airport
Economic Impact Study Update, completed by the Massachusetts Department of Transportation
(MassDOT) in 2014 and most recently updated in 2019, 7 estimates that Massport airports contribute
approximately $23.1 billion in output to the Massachusetts economy annually; of this output, 71 percent is
due to Logan Airport alone. 8 Total output includes on-Airport businesses, construction, visitor, and

generating approximately $16.3 billion per year in total economic output. 10 In 2017, over 20,000 people
were employed at Logan Airport. This included approximately 1,285 Massport airport staff and
administrative employees. 11
Logan Airport is considered an origin and destination (O&D) 12 airport both nationally and internationally,
meaning that approximately 90 percent of Logan Airport passengers either start or end their trip in the
New England area. Hub airports, such as Atlanta or Chicago, serve many more passengers annually but,
compared to O&D airports like Logan Airport, a higher percentage of passenger traffic at hub airports
passes through to connecting flights. Logan Airport is one of the fastest growing large airports in the U.S.,
in terms of number of passengers, over the past five years. 13 In 2017, U.S. air passenger traffic grew by
3.5 percent, whereas Logan Airport experienced a passenger growth of 5.9 percent. 14 International air
passengers contribute a substantially higher share to the local and regional economy than domestic
passengers. In 2017, Logan Airport welcomed 1.6 million overseas visitors, a 4.8-percent increase over
2016 levels. 15 New international service in the last five years alone has contributed more than $1.3 billion
per year to the local economy and $49 million in new incremental income and sales tax revenue. 16

strong O&D market like Boston generates significant local passenger demand, with many passengers starting their journey and
ending their journey in that market. O&D traffic is distinct from connecting traffic, which refers to the passenger traffic that
does not originate or end at the airport but merely connects through the airport en route to another destination.

Introduction/Executive Summary 1-12
Future Planning Horizon
As part of its ongoing strategic planning effort, Massport prepares aircraft operations and passenger
activity level forecasts every few years. This ESPR evaluates future operational and environmental
conditions associated with a projected 50 million annual air passengers and 486,000 annual aircraft
operations in the next 10 to 15 years (the Future Planning Horizon). Massport’s forecast is consistent with
the Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA’s) Terminal Area Forecast.
Massport Investment in Logan Airport
Massport is committed to evaluating and implementing enhancements to Logan Airport’s safety, security,
operational efficiency, and accessibility to and from the Boston metropolitan area, while carefully
monitoring the environmental effects of Logan Airport operations. Massport is continually improving the
facilities at Logan Airport.
Massport is currently focused on enhancing the passenger and user experience at Logan Airport in all
aspects of the facility. Recent and ongoing terminal area projects are providing seamless post-security
connectivity among the terminals along with enhancements to passenger processing through
consolidated security checking areas. Access to and around Logan Airport is the next critical area of
improvement.
To improve accessibility to the Airport as well as to relieve on-Airport roadway congestion, Massport
continues to enhance high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) and Logan Express facilities, implement on-Airport
roadway and Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) Blue Line/intra-terminal connectivity
projects, construct a consolidated transportation network company (TNC, such as Uber and Lyft) drop-off
and pick-up area, and construct new parking facilities, which will help reduce the number of
drop-off/pick-up trips. Massport continues to work with the FAA to enhance airside safety through a
variety of runway safety area (RSA) improvements and simplification of the airfield geometry.
Massport’s Strategy to Manage Current and Future Environmental
Conditions
Massport understands its role as owner and operator of Logan Airport and steward of the environment.
This 2017 ESPR documents the current conditions at the Airport and, based on forecast passenger and
aircraft operations activities, models future conditions and outlines Massport’s plans to responsibly
manage growth at the Airport while minimizing environmental impacts.
Massport’s strategy to minimize impacts is a combination of:
 Policy initiatives and infrastructure improvements;
 Sustainability and resiliency investments; and
 Community support and partnerships.

Boston Logan International Airport 2017 ESPR
Introduction/Executive Summary 1-13
As noted above, due to the strong economy, passenger activity levels and aircraft operations at
Logan Airport have been increasing and are projected to continue this trend through the Future Planning
Horizon, potentially reaching 50 million annual air passengers in the next 10 to 15 years.
The success of Worcester Regional Airport is helping to accommodate this regional economic growth and
demand for air travel. Worcester Regional Airport saw passenger numbers increase 32 percent in 2018
compared to 2017 and reported a total of approximately 600,000 passengers from 2013 to 2018. In the
past five years, Worcester Regional Airport has experienced an average growth rate of 30 percent per
year. Massport continues to invest in Worcester Regional Airport—together with the City of Worcester,
Massport has already initiated a $100 million, 10-year investment to revitalize and attract commercial
operations to Worcester Regional Airport. Investments include a Category (CAT) III Instrument Landing
System (about $32 million) paid for by federal grants and Massport funds. Additionally, jetBlue Airways,
American Airlines, and Delta Air Lines announced new service to New York John F. Kennedy International
Airport (JFK), Philadelphia International Airport, and Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport,
respectively.
Massport’s strategy to manage the growth of Logan Airport in an environmentally responsible manner
focuses on initiatives within Massport’s control or influence. For example, the majority of environmental
impacts associated with Logan Airport are from aircraft operations and associated activities, which
Massport cannot control but strives to influence.
The sections that follow highlight Massport’s strategy and successes for air quality, ground access, and
noise abatement, as well as its sustainability program. Sustainability initiatives throughout this report are
highlighted with a sustainability leaf.
Table 1-1 provides a summary of key environmental conditions at Logan Airport in 2017 and anticipated
future conditions and documents Massport’s planned approach to limit effects on the environment and

Category 2017 Future Planning Horizon Massport’s Strategy
Ground
Access
 Average daily traffic and
vehicle miles traveled (VMT) on
Airport roadways increases.
 Transportation Network
Companies (TNCs), such as
Uber and Lyft, are impacting
other access modes and
contributing to off- and on-
Airport congestion.
 Recognizing current
challenges, Massport plans
to continue implementing
transportation policy
changes and infrastructure
modifications, with the goal
of decreasing total daily
VMT on-Airport.
 Commit to reducing congestion and
associated emissions by increasing
high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) ridership,
reducing TNC deadheading activity
(empty one-way trips), increasing
on-Airport parking to reduce
drop-off/pick-up, and expanding
Logan Express service and facilities.
 Evaluate and implement on-Airport
infrastructure improvements to reduce
congestion.
Noise
 The Day-Night Average Sound
Level (DNL) contour increased.
 The total number of people
residing in the DNL 65 dB
contour increased by 483
people, from 7,450 in 2016 to
7,933 in 2017.
 The total number of people
residing in the DNL 65 dB
contour in 2017 is about 82
percent lower than 1990
numbers, due to improved
engine technology.
 The DNL 65 dB contour is
projected to increase
modestly due to expected
growth in operations. The
total number of people
residing in the DNL 65 dB
contour would also increase.
This growth is in areas
already sound-insulated by
Massport or eligible for
sound insulation in the past.
 The total number of people
residing in the DNL 65 dB
contour is projected to be
about 81 percent lower in
the Future Planning Horizon,
compared to 1990.
 Continue to work with the Federal
Aviation Administration (FAA) to better
understand the implications of
performance-based navigation (such as
area navigation [RNAV]) and evaluate
strategies to address community
concerns.
 Continue to seek FAA funding for
soundproofing eligible residences.
 Continue to implement noise
abatement measures, such as runway
use restrictions and reduced-engine
taxiing.
 Coordinate with stakeholders through
the Massport Community Advisory
Committee to identify opportunities to
reduce noise.
Air Quality
 Modeled emissions of volatile
organic compounds (VOC),
carbon monoxide (CO), and
particulate matter
(PM10/PM2.5) decreased in
2017 compared to 2016.
Modeled emissions of oxides
of nitrogen (NOx) increased
over the same time period, due
largely to differences in aircraft
fleet mix and increases in the
number of landings and
takeoffs (LTOs) and taxi times.
Greenhouse gas (GHG)
emissions also increased from
2016 to 2017.
 Emissions of VOC, CO, and
PM10/PM2.5 are projected
to decrease. NOx emissions
are projected to increase
due to the changing aircraft
fleet (i.e., greater use of
quieter but higher NOx
emitting aircraft) coupled
with the forecasted increase
in aircraft operations at the
Airport. GHG emissions are
projected to increase.
 Replace gas- and diesel-powered
ground service equipment (GSE) with
all-electric GSE (eGSE) by the end of
2027 (as commercially available).
 Implement additional initiatives to
increase HOV use, continue to reduce
emissions from Massport fleet vehicles,
and encourage use of alternative fuel
vehicles.
 Continue to implement energy
efficiency projects, including upgrades
to the Central Heating and Cooling
Plant, and increase the use of renewable
energy, such as solar and wind
installations, at the Airport.

Boston Logan International Airport 2017 ESPR
Introduction/Executive Summary 1-16
Air Quality Strategy
Total emissions from all sources associated with Logan Airport are less than they were a decade ago, with
the exception of NOx. This long-term downward trend is consistent with Massport’s longstanding
objective to accommodate the demands of increasing passenger and cargo activity levels with fewer
aircraft operations and reduced emissions wherever possible. When compared to 2016, the changes in air
emissions in 2017 are well within expected values given the corresponding upturn in aircraft operations.
Effect of Aircraft Engine Technology on NOx
Aircraft emissions continue to represent the largest source (94 percent) of NOx at Logan Airport, followed
by other sources (3 percent), ground service equipment (GSE) (2 percent), and motor vehicles (1 percent).
This is an important distinction, as Massport does not have any control over aircraft emissions, which is
the vast majority of the total.
As a means of reducing amounts and costs of fuel use, aircraft engine designers and manufacturers are
producing more “fuel-efficient” (i.e., less fuel-burning) engines. This is achieved by enhancing engine
performance with improved fuel combustion technologies, greater thrust-generating power, and less
engine wear. Aircraft are also being designed to decrease fuel-burn with advancements in aircraft wing
and body aerodynamics, light-weight alloy materials, and improved means of navigation. These emerging
technologies and reduced fuel burn are expected to reduce emissions, reduce noise, and moderate the
growth in NOx emissions into the future.
Since Massport does not have direct control over aircraft operations or fleet choices by the airlines, it
continues to focus on areas it controls in order to maximize the reduction of emissions from those sources
it has an opportunity to influence. Massport’s air quality management strategy for Logan Airport focuses
on decreasing emissions from Airport-related sources, in addition to furthering innovative means to
achieve emissions reductions Airport-wide. Massport has established a number of goals and objectives to
address air emissions from Airport operations, including the minimization of Airport-related emissions
through the reduction of GSE and Massport vehicle fleet emissions. Massport is focused on the following
initiatives:
 Provide infrastructure and encourage practices that support reductions in aircraft emissions
▪ Massport provides pre-conditioned air (PCA) and 400 Hertz (Hz) power at all aircraft contact
gates to reduce aircraft idling and auxiliary power unit (APU) use when not enough gates are
available.
▪ Massport encourages single engine taxiing procedures by the airlines to reduce both noise
and air emissions.
▪ Use of battery powered tugs and belt loaders for the Delta Air Lines ground service fleet at
Terminal A.

Boston Logan International Airport 2017 ESPR
Introduction/Executive Summary 1-17
 Maximize use of HOV and reduce single occupancy vehicle trips, particularly drop-off/pick-up
trips, and passenger use of private vehicles to and from the Airport
▪ Massport implements an extensive HOV strategy and ground transportation improvements
(see following section, Ground Access Strategy, for details).
 Reduce emissions from fleets operating at Logan Airport
▪ Massport is facilitating the replacement of gas- and diesel-powered GSE with all-electric GSE
(eGSE) by the end of 2027 (as commercially available). In 2018, the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) awarded a $541,817 grant to Massport to replace gas- and
diesel-powered GSE at Logan Airport. This grant will be used in conjunction with an FAA VALE
grant Massport received in the fall of 2018 to install eGSE charging stations as part of the
Terminal B Optimization Project.
▪ Massport continues operation of its “Clean-Air-Cab” incentive program for alternative fuel
vehicles (AFVs).
 Provide infrastructure to support alternative fuels including compressed natural gas (CNG) and
electricity
▪ Massport continues to operate one of New England’s largest retail CNG stations, which is
open to the public. In 2017, the CNG station pumped approximately 25,234-gallon
equivalents per month for all Massport fleet vehicles (non-Massport vehicles were also using
CNG).
▪ Massport supports the current and future standard systems for plug-in electric vehicles (EVs).
For example, the Rental Car Center (RCC) in the Southwest Service Area (SWSA) includes the
infrastructure necessary to accommodate future plug-in stations for EVs.
▪ Massport has installed 13 EV-charging stations to accommodate a total of 26 vehicles in the
Central Garage and Terminal B parking areas. Massport commits to increasing the availability
of EV charging stations so that 150 percent of this demand is available at all facilities at all
times.
▪ Currently, there are 64 charging stations installed at Logan Airport and its Logan Express sites,
with 62 additional stations planned to be installed by 2020.
 Reduce emissions from Massport fleet vehicles
▪ Massport continues to run and augment its fleet of 54 AFV/alternative power vehicle (APV)
on-Airport shuttle buses. Massport also established a vehicle procurement policy in 2006 that
requires consideration of AFVs when purchases are made.
 Reduce emissions associated with Massport buildings, including energy needs
▪ Massport has committed to achieving Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design
(LEED®) certification for eligible buildings, as appropriate.
▪ Massport continues to invest in renewable energy installations on-Airport (solar/wind).

Boston Logan International Airport 2017 ESPR
Introduction/Executive Summary 1-18
Ground Access Strategy
A key Massport focus is addressing on-Airport roadway congestion with a combination of policy changes
and infrastructure improvements. The importance of alleviating congestion is twofold: it is necessary to
allow for continued safe and efficient operation of the Airport’s landside operations and it is necessary to
reduce environmental impacts. Enhancing multimodal transportation options and providing modern, flexible
infrastructure is one way an airport can reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and improve its
environmental footprint.
Massport recognizes the various ways to get to and from the Airport and has a strategic plan to increase
HOV mode share to 40 percent by 2027. Additionally, managing the growth in TNCs is essential to
accommodate on-Airport traffic volume and promote HOV services. Potential emissions reductions are
one reason why Massport is committed to a long-term goal to promote and support public and private
HOV and shared-ride services aimed at serving air passengers, Airport users, and employees. Other
benefits include:
 Reducing congestion on the terminal roadways and curbside drop-off/pick-up areas;
 Alleviating constraints on limited parking facilities; and
 Customer service (providing a range of transportation options for different traveler
demographics).
The initiatives described below will improve roadway operations as well as air quality emissions. It is
envisioned that these changes will allow Massport to reduce vehicle miles traveled (VMT) in the future
despite increasing passenger activity levels. The following policy changes are anticipated:
 Suburban Logan Express Service Enhancements
▪ Increase Braintree Logan Express service from two to three trips per hour (implemented in
May 2019).
▪ Add about 1,000 additional spaces to the Framingham garage.
▪ Build up to 3,000 structured parking spaces at the Braintree site that is nearing capacity.
▪ Provide security line priority status to Logan Express Back Bay riders (implemented in
May 2019).
▪ Execute sustained marketing campaign to support Logan Express strategy and increase
ridership.
▪ Implement Logan Express electronic ticketing.
▪ Evaluate new Logan Express suburban locations, with a plan to open at least one new site.
▪ Explore TNC Last Mile connections. 17
▪ Rebrand Logan Express sites as remote terminals.
▪ Continue to monitor parking capacity at all Logan Express sites.
17 Individuals who fall within the 0.5-mile to 1-mile drive distance of a Logan Express facility are the most likely group to use TNCs
to connect between the facility and their home.

Boston Logan International Airport 2017 ESPR
Introduction/Executive Summary 1-19
 MBTA Silver Line
▪ Eight Silver Line buses were purchased in 2005 by Massport and are operated by the MBTA
with Massport paying operating costs. Massport plans to purchase eight additional Silver Line
buses, bringing its total to 16 buses, to increase frequency.
 Urban Logan Express Service
▪ Change pick-up/drop-off location from Copley to Back Bay Station (implemented in 2019).
▪ Discount one-way fare from $7.50 to $3.00 (implemented in May 2019).
▪ Free service from Logan Airport (implemented in early 2019).
▪ Pilot priority security line status for riders (implemented in 2019).
▪ Execute marketing campaign to support increased ridership (ongoing).
▪ Implement Logan Express electronic ticketing.
▪ Implement a second urban Logan Express service at North Station.
 TNC Management Plan
▪ Facilitate rematch and shared ride by moving TNC drop-off and pick-up activity to new
dedicated areas in the Central Garage.
▪ Implement TNC rematch 18 so drivers dropping off can more easily leave with a passenger.
▪ Introduce TNC shared ride incentives to reduce TNC vehicles through gateways by increasing
vehicle occupancies.
▪ Adopt new TNC fee structure to support HOV strategies, encourage shared rides, and reduce
gateway congestion.
▪ Optimize TNC operations on-Airport through data reporting, enforcement tools, and
emerging TNC products.
 Infrastructure improvements
▪ Through ongoing studies of future growth scenarios, and the likely impacts on ground
operations, Massport has identified the need for additional infrastructure modifications as a
complement to policy changes to allow terminal area roadways and curbsides to continue
functioning adequately and minimize vehicle idling and associated emissions.
▪ A range of infrastructure alternatives will be considered for implementation in the next 10 to
15 years. Options to be considered may include on-Airport dedicated HOV bus lanes, the
creation of an intermodal transportation center with bus service to terminals, the construction
of an Automated People Mover (APM), or some combination of these and other
improvements. These concepts will be described in future EDR/ESPR filings and may be
advanced for MEPA and or National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) reviews as those
concepts evolve.
18 Rematch allows drivers who are dropping off to instantly pick up another passenger without needing to circle the Airport or
leave empty.

Boston Logan International Airport 2017 ESPR
Introduction/Executive Summary 1-20
Noise Strategy
Massport strives to minimize the noise effects of Logan Airport operations on its neighbors through a
variety of noise abatement programs, procedures, studies, and other tools. At Logan Airport, Massport
implements one of the longest standing and most extensive noise abatement programs of any airport in
the nation. Massport’s comprehensive noise abatement program includes a dedicated Noise Abatement
Office; a state-of-the-art Noise and Operations Monitoring System (NOMS); extensive residential and
school sound insulation programs; time-of-day and runway restrictions for noisier aircraft; ground run-up
procedures; and flight tracks designed to optimize over-water operations (especially during nighttime
hours). The public can register noise complaints by phone or online through Massport’s website. 19
The foundation of Massport’s noise program is the Logan Airport Noise Abatement Rules and Regulations 20
(Noise Rules), which have been in effect since 1986. Massport’s Noise Abatement Office is responsible for
implementing noise abatement measures and generally monitoring community complaints and other
aspects of the noise effects from Logan Airport operations.
Massport is focused on the following noise abatement initiatives:
 Partnerships with Airlines and the FAA
▪ In October 2018, jetBlue Airways (the air
carrier with the greatest number of
operations at Logan Airport) announced
plans to retrofit its older Airbus fleet with
Vortex Generators, which reduce tonal noise
on approach. This move reflects the
partnership between Massport and the
airlines to reduce aircraft noise to benefit
surrounding communities. As airlines retrofit
aircraft and transition to the newer models
of the A320 family, the number of aircraft
operating at Logan Airport without the
vortex generators is expected to decrease. For more information, please refer to a press
release discussing the generators in Chapter 6, Noise Abatement .
▪ On October 7, 2016, Massport and the FAA signed a Memorandum of Understanding
(MOU) 21 to frame the process for analyzing opportunities to reduce noise through changes or
amendments to performance-based navigation (PBN), including area navigation (RNAV). This
cooperation is a first-in-the-nation project between the FAA and an airport operator to better
understand the implications of PBN and evaluate strategies to address community concerns.

in late 2017 and recommendations were made to the FAA. Currently, MIT is conducting the
analysis for Block 2.
▪ The fleet operating at Logan Airport is comprised of 80 percent Stage 4 aircraft and
18 percent Stage 5 aircraft (Stage 5 being the quietest), well above the FAA minimum Stage 3
engines.
▪ Massport continues to prohibit the use of Runways 4L for departures and Runway 22R for
arrivals from 11:00 PM to 6:00 AM; maximize late-night over-water operations via Runways
15R and 33L; and restrict nighttime engine run-ups and use of APUs.
▪ Massport continues to encourage the voluntary use of reduced-engine taxiing when
appropriate and safe (see Appendix L, Reduced/Single Engine Taxiing at Logan Airport
Memoranda ).
▪ Massport continues improvement of the Noise Monitoring System and is going out to bid for
an upgraded system.
 Sound Insulation Program
▪ Massport has one of the most extensive residential and school sound insulation programs in
the nation. To date, Massport has installed sound insulation in 5,467 residences, including
11,515 dwelling units, and 36 schools in East Boston, Roxbury, Dorchester, Winthrop, Revere,
Chelsea, and South Boston.
▪ Approximately 8 percent of applicants also choose the Room-of-Preference option that
allows the owner to identify a room (usually a bedroom or living room) for extra acoustical
treatment.
Sustainability and Resiliency Program
Massport is committed to a robust sustainability program. Sustainability has redefined the values and
criteria for measuring organizational success by using a "triple bottom line" approach that considers
economic, ecological, and social well-being. Applying this approach to decision-making is a practical way
to optimize economic, environmental, and social capital. Massport is taking a broad view of sustainability
that builds upon the triple bottom line concept and considers the airport-specific context. Consistent with
the Airports Council International - North America’s (ACI-NA) definition of Airport Sustainability, 22
Massport is focused on a holistic approach to managing Logan Airport to ensure Economic viability,
Operational efficiency, Natural resource conservation, and Social responsibility (EONS). Massport is
committed to implementing environmentally sustainable practices Airport- and Authority-wide and
continues to make progress on a range of initiatives. The following sections summarize many of the
long-term and multifaceted sustainability initiatives undertaken by Massport, which individual chapters of
this 2017 ESPR more fully describe, where appropriate. Figure 1-9 highlights some of Massport’s recent
sustainability initiatives.

Logan Airport Sustainability Management Plan (SMP)
In 2013, Massport was awarded a grant by the FAA to prepare a SMP for Logan Airport. The Logan Airport
SMP planning effort began in May 2013 and was completed in April 2015. The Logan Airport SMP takes a
broad view of sustainability including economic vitality, operational efficiency, natural resource
conservation, and social responsibility considerations. The Logan Airport SMP is intended to promote and
integrate sustainability Airport-wide and to coordinate ongoing sustainability efforts across Massport. The
Logan Airport SMP developed a framework and implementation plan, with metrics and targets, designed
to track progress over time.
Massport is currently working on a vision for Massport’s “Sustainability 2.0” as a next-level planning effort
to implement principles and approaches from the SMP at other Massport facilities and to update
Massport’s sustainability goals and targets. Massport is currently advancing a series of short-term
initiatives to help reach its goals (see Table 1-2 ) in the areas of (1) energy and GHG emissions; (2) water
conservation; (3) community, employee, and passenger well-being; (4) materials, waste management, and
recycling; (5) resiliency; (6) noise abatement; (7) air quality improvement; (8) ground access and
connectivity; (9) water quality/stormwater; and (10) natural resources. Massport reports its progress
towards achieving each goal, including changes in related performance, in sustainability reports. Since the
publication of the Logan Airport SMP, Massport has continued expanding its sustainability initiatives, with
an increased focus on implementing resliency measures to protect Maritime and Logan Airport
operations, cirital infrastructure, and workforce.
The Logan Airport Annual Sustainability Report, first published in April 2016, provides a progress summary
of sustainability efforts at Logan Airport based on Massport’s sustainability goals and targets established
in the Logan Airport SMP. It highlights Massport’s progress towards improving sustainability and
enhancing resiliency at its facilities. This report, now called the Annual Sustainability & Resiliency Report,
was updated in April 2018 to include resiliency initiatives and can also be found at:

Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED ® )-Certified Facilities at
Logan Airport
The United States Green Building Council’s (USGBC’s) LEED rating system is the most widely recognized
third-party green building certification system in North America. Massport is striving to achieve
LEED certification for all new and substantial renovation building projects over 20,000 square feet. Most
recently, in 2017, the Terminal E New Large Aircraft Wing (Terminal E Renovation and Enhancements
Project) received LEED Gold certification for Commercial Interiors. Other recent examples of LEED-certified
buildings at Logan Airport are the RCC and Green Bus Depot (see Figure 1-10 and Table 1-3 ). Further
details are available in Chapter 3, Airport Planning.
Sustainability Design Standards and Guidelines and LEED Certification
For smaller building projects and non-building projects, Massport uses its Sustainable Design Standards
and Guidelines (SDSGs). The SDSGs provide a framework for sustainable design and construction for both
new construction and rehabilitation projects. The SDSGs apply to a wide range of project-specific criteria,
such as site design, project materials, energy management and efficiency, air emissions, water
management quality and efficiency, indoor air quality, and occupant comfort. Massport is also considering
the use of the USGBC’s sustainability-focused Parksmart rating system, an environmental and
sustainability focused rating system specific to parking structure management, programming, design, and
technology.

Climate Change and Resiliency Planning
As the Boston area will continue to experience increased temperatures, more frequent extreme weather
events, and higher sea level due to climate change, 23 Massport understands the importance of preparing
for impacts to protect and enhance its critical infrastructure, operational assets, and workforce. Through
robust planning and regional collaboration, Massport strives to continue its leadership role in resiliency
planning among port authorities, the airport industry, and the Boston region.
At the end of 2013, Massport initiated a Disaster and Infrastructure Resiliency Planning (DIRP) Study for
Logan Airport, the Port of Boston, and Massport’s waterfront assets in South and East Boston. The DIRP
Study includes a hazard analysis, modeling sea-level rise and storm surge, and projections of temperature,
precipitation, and anticipated increases in extreme weather events. The DIRP Study provides
recommendations regarding short-term strategies to make Massport’s facilities more resilient to the likely
effects of climate change. In 2014, the study was completed, and implementation of adaptation initiatives
began, in late 2014.
In addition to the DIRP Study and its related initiatives, Massport has completed an Authority-wide risk
assessment, as part of its strategic planning initiative; issued a Floodproofing Design Guide; and has
developed a resilience framework to provide consistent metrics for short- and long-term planning and
protection of its critical facilities and infrastructure. Beyond physical resiliency, Massport is also focused on
incorporating social and economic resilience into its long-term operational and capital planning.
Massport’s Floodproofing Design Guide was published in November 2014 and updated in April 2016.
Operational aspects of resiliency strategy include the development of Flood Operations Plans for
Logan Airport and Massport maritime facilities. These plans were introduced in 2015 and included the
planned deployment of temporary flood barriers to protect up to 12 locations of critical infrastructure in
the event of severe weather. Additional locations have been permanently enhanced to prevent flooding.

The flood operations plans are evaluated annually to enhance their effectiveness and to adapt to evolving
requirements and past experiences.
Tabletop planning exercises simulating a hurricane scenario and cross-functional workshops have been
conducted to further refine plans and train staff. Finally, the design flood elevation that resulted from the
original DIRP study in 2015 was updated as a result of enhanced storm modeling that was made available
to Massport through MassDOT. Adjustments to the prioritized resiliency recommendations were made to
accommodate the revised flood elevation.

Massport Means Business. Massport is taking steps to create more business opportunities at Logan
Airport for East Boston companies. In 2016, Massport, the East Boston Chamber of Commerce, and East
Boston Main Streets co-hosted the MASSPORT MEANS BUSINESS initiative to learn more about doing
business with Massport. Massport’s mission is to ensure that East Boston businesses have every
opportunity to thrive by partnering with us to serve our passengers, airlines, security, and maintenance
needs.
Open Space/Buffer Program. Massport has invested in an extensive open space program to enhance the
surrounding communities. Massport initially committed over $15 million for the planning, construction,
and maintenance of four Airport edge buffer areas and two parks along Logan Airport’s perimeter. These
buffers include the Bayswater Buffer, Navy Fuel Pier Buffer, and the SWSA Buffer (Phases I and II). The
award-winning Piers Park was completed in 1995 and has since become part of a network of greenspace
that traverses East Boston from the Jeffries Point waterfront to Constitution Beach.
Adjacent to the current Piers Park, Piers Park Phase II will add approximately 4.2 acres of green space to
the East Boston waterfront upon completion, and plans are underway by an outside party for Piers Park
Phase III, which will turn an aging pier into a 3.6-acre greenspace that will include resiliency features to
help protect the neighborhood from flooding and sea level rise. Today, East Boston enjoys 3.3 miles and
more than 33 acres of green space developed or managed by Massport, in partnership with and in
response to engagement with the East Boston community. More information can be found in Chapter 3,

2017 and Future Planning Horizon Highlights and Key Findings
This section provides a brief overview of key findings, by chapter, at Logan Airport in 2017 and the Future
Planning Horizon. Additional information concerning Airport activities is provided in subsequent chapters.
This section will also highlight Massport’s efforts to further sustainability through specific projects and
initiatives with a sustainability leaf and summarizes Massport’s sustainability program.
Activity Levels
Logan Airport (and the aviation industry in general) has been experiencing strong growth, largely driven
by the positive economic conditions in the Boston region, low unemployment, a strong, diverse economic
base, and continued investment in commercial and residential real estate, particularly in life sciences,
finance, healthcare, and higher education. The expansion of international routes served from Logan
Airport supports the economic opportunities Massachusetts residents have by enabling them to reach
dozens of markets throughout the world and improving competitiveness as a top-tier global location for
business, research, education, technology, and tourism. 24
In 2017, air passenger activity levels at Logan Airport reached an all-time high of 38.4 million, an increase
of 5.9 percent over 2016. Aircraft operations increased at a slower rate, totaling 401,371 in 2017, an
increase of 2.6 percent over 2016 levels. This trend continued in 2018 with air passenger activity levels of
40.9 million and aircraft operations totaling 424,024. The growth is directly correlated to the strong
national and regional economy. Aircraft operations remain well below the 487,996 operations in 2000 and
the historic peak of 507,449 operations reached in 1998.
From 2010 to 2017, the annual number of passengers at Logan Airport increased by about 40 percent,
while the annual number of aircraft operations 25 increased at a slower rate, about 14 percent, due to
increasing aircraft load factors. International passenger levels increased at a faster rate than domestic
passenger levels in 2017. Domestic air passenger activity levels increased by 5.1 percent while
international air passenger activity levels increased by 9.3 percent over 2016 levels.
As part of its ongoing strategic planning effort, Massport prepares aircraft operations and passenger
activity level forecasts every few years. This 2017 ESPR evaluates future operational and environmental
conditions associated with a projected 50 million annual air passengers in the next 10 to 15 years (the
Future Planning Horizon). This level of air passengers is forecast to be accommodated in approximately
486,000 annual aircraft operations. Massport’s forecast is consistent with the FAA’s Terminal Area
Forecast; within the 10- to 15-year planning horizon, the FAA forecasts 50 million annual air passengers.

Airport Planning
Massport is continually improving the facilities at Logan Airport to accommodate changes in passenger
demand, aircraft activity, cargo needs, and transportation access. In Chapter 3, Airport Planning , Massport
has identified priority planning projects and initiatives to accommodate the increased demand in
international and domestic travel including projects and initiatives in the following categories:
 Ground Transportation and Parking;
 Terminals;
 Airside Planning;
 Service Areas;
 Airport Buffers and Open Space; and
 Energy, Sustainability, and Resiliency.
Massport is currently focused on enhancing the passenger and user experience at Logan Airport both
on-Airport and by improving accessibility to and from this regional asset. Recent and ongoing terminal
area projects are providing seamless post-security connectivity among the terminals along with
enhancements to passenger processing through consolidated security checking areas.
To relieve on-Airport roadway congestion and accessibility, Massport plans to implement major
on-Airport roadway and MBTA Blue Line/intra-terminal connectivity projects and construct consolidated
TNC drop-off and pick-up areas. Massport also has plans to expand HOV services and Logan Express
facilities as part of a program of ground transportation-related improvements.
Since the 2016 EDR was filed, Massport has submitted two projects for MEPA review:
 The Terminal E Modernization Project, which has been approved to add seven new gates to the
international terminal.
 The Logan Airport Parking Project, which will add 5,000 commercial parking spaces at Logan Airport
in locations already in use for parking. The additional parking spaces can be permitted based on a
modification to the Logan Airport Parking Freeze 26 and are intended to reduce environmentally
harmful drop-off/pick-up modes (i.e., dropped off or picked up by private vehicles, taxi, TNC, or black
car limousine service. This project is currently undergoing joint MEPA/NEPA review.
Massport continues to work with the FAA to enhance airside safety through a variety of RSA projects and
simplification of the airfield geometry. Please see Chapter 3, Airport Planning, for additional information.

Regional Transportation
In 2017, the New England region saw an increase in air passenger activity. Regional air passengers
increased by 5.5 percent to 54.7 million air passengers in 2017, a historic high. The 10 regional airports
(excluding Logan Airport) in New England accommodated 16.3 million air passengers in 2017, compared
to 15.6 million passengers in 2016.
Worcester Regional Airport, Bradley International Airport, T.F. Green Airport, Portland International
Jetport, and Burlington International Airport saw an overall increase in service offerings in 2017.
Manchester-Boston Regional and Tweed-New Haven airports saw reduced service offerings in 2017.
Massport’s three airports, Logan Airport, Worcester Regional Airport, and Hanscom Field, make significant
contributions to the regional economy, generating approximately $23.1 billion annually, or 94 percent of
the overall economic benefits generated by the Massachusetts airport system. Hanscom Field is a reliever
airport to Logan Airport and is the second busiest airport in New England.
Worcester Regional Airport saw passenger numbers
increase 32 percent in 2018 compared to 2017 and
reported a total of approximately 600,000 passengers
from 2013 to 2018. In the past five years, Worcester
Regional Airport has experienced an average growth
rate of 30 percent per year. Massport continues to invest
in Worcester Regional Airport—together with the City of
Worcester, Massport has already initiated a $100 million,
10-year investment to revitalize and attract commercial
operations to Worcester Regional Airport. Investments
include a CAT III Instrument Landing System (about $32
million) paid for by federal grants and Massport funds.
Additionally, jetBlue Airways, American Airlines, and Delta Air Lines announced new service to JFK,
Philadelphia International Airport, and Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport, respectively.
Amtrak rail system-wide ridership remained flat at 31.7 million customer trips from fiscal year (FY) 2017 to
FY 2018. The Northeast Corridor (NEC) carried over 12 million passengers, up about 1 percent from the
prior year. In mid-2018, Amtrak announced $370 million in investments in new equipment to install
double track infrastructure maintenance capacity on the NEC over the next three years, along with next-
generation Acela Express trainsets that will increase per train seat capacity by 27 percent. 27

Introduction/Executive Summary 1-32
Ground Access to and from Logan Airport
Massport has a comprehensive, multi-pronged, trip reduction strategy to diversify and enhance ground
transportation options for passengers and employees traveling to and from Logan Airport. The ground
transportation strategy is designed to offer passengers traveling to and from Logan Airport a choice of
HOV, transit, and shared-ride options that are convenient and reliable, and that reduce environmental and
community impacts. Logan Airport continues to be one of the top of U.S. airports in terms of HOV and
transit mode share. Massport promotes numerous HOV, transit, and shared-ride options to improve on
Airport roadway and curbside operations, alleviate constraints on parking, and improve customer service.
Key initiatives include:
 A goal to double Logan Express ridership by expanding parking, frequency, and facility upgrades;
 A plan to purchase eight additional MBTA Silver Line buses,
increasing the fleet size purchased by Massport to 16 buses;
and
 Implementation of a TNC (such as Uber and Lyft) management
plan to reduce congestion on-Airport, including a focus on
ride rematch and shared-ride.
Massport’s strategy also aims to provide sufficient on-Airport
parking for air passengers choosing automobile access modes
and/or who have limited HOV options. In 2017, the Massachusetts
Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP) amended the
Logan Airport Parking Freeze to allow for an increase of up to
5,000 on-Airport commercial parking spaces, which allows for the
construction of additional parking to reduce drop-off/pick up
modes and alleviate constrained on-Airport parking conditions.
Key findings are summarized in the bullets that follow and
additional details can be found in Chapter 5, Ground Access to and
from Logan Airport.
 Average weekday on-Airport VMT increased by about 11 percent from approximately 176,840 in 2016
to 196,500 in 2017. The change in average daily traffic can be attributed primarily to the increases in
air passenger activity, passenger drop-off/pick-up, cargo, and non-aviation related Airport uses.
 In 2017, Massport began tracking and reporting TNC activity. TNCs were estimated to contribute
about 15,000 vehicle trips per day (excluding deadhead trips 28 ). TNCs are impacting other access
modes to the Airport and contributing to on-Airport congestion. Partially due to the emergence of
TNCs, black car limousines and scheduled van ridership dropped by 40 percent from 2016 to 2017.
Taxi dispatches declined 18 percent and MBTA Blue Line ridership decreased by 2 percent in 2017
compared to 2016.
28 Deadhead trips are those trips to or from the Airport that do not contain a passenger.

Boston Logan International Airport 2017 ESPR
Introduction/Executive Summary 1-33
 Based on ongoing changes in passenger mode choice for accessing Logan Airport, Massport has
updated its goals and definition of HOV. The updated definition considers vehicle occupancies of
taxis, black car limousines, and TNCs that exceed one air passenger per vehicle to be HOV, while the
same modes with one air passenger will count as non-HOV. With this updated definition, Massport
has committed to a goal of 35.5 percent HOV by 2022 and 40 percent by 2027.
 When activity levels reach 50 million air passengers, it is anticipated that Massport transportation
policy changes and potential infrastructure modifications that reduce on-Airport VMT will be in place.
Infrastructure modifications may include on-Airport dedicated HOV bus lanes, the creation of an
intermodal transportation center with bus service to terminals, the possible construction of an APM,
or some combination of these improvements.
Noise Abatement
Massport strives to minimize the noise effects of Logan Airport operations on its neighbors through a
variety of noise abatement programs, procedures, studies, and other tools. At Logan Airport, Massport
implements one of the oldest and most extensive noise abatement programs of any airport in the nation.
Massport’s comprehensive noise abatement program includes a dedicated Noise Abatement Office; a
state-of-the-art NOMS; extensive residential and school sound insulation programs; time-of-day and
runway restrictions for noisier aircraft; ground run-up procedures; and flight tracks designed to optimize
over-water operations (especially during nighttime hours). The public can register noise complaints by
phone or online through Massport’s website. 29
Key findings are summarized in the bullets that follow and additional details can be found in Chapter 6,
Noise Abatement.
 Massport is encouraging retrofitting the
Airbus A319/320/321 family with vortex
generators, which reduce tonal noise on
approach. United Airlines announced it was
retrofitting its aircraft in 2017 as they went in
for service. In a press release in October
2018, jetBlue Airways (the largest air carrier
operator at Logan Airport) announced plans to retrofit its older Airbus fleet with vortex generators.
 The fleet mix of aircraft at Logan Airport continues to be composed of aircraft types with the quietest
available technology, with Stage 5 being the quietest. Approximately 18 percent of 2017 operations
were conducted in aircraft meeting Stage 5 requirements, 80 percent meeting Stage 4 requirements,
and 2 percent in Certified Stage 3. In the Future Planning Horizon, the fleet will be approximately
56 percent Stage 5, 43 percent Stage 4, and 2 percent Stage 3 aircraft. The expected modernization of
the fleet mix and forecast day/night split is expected to moderate the effect of the forecast increase in
aircraft operations.

Boston Logan International Airport 2017 ESPR
Introduction/Executive Summary 1-34
 Massport and the FAA are working with the MIT to investigate opportunities to reduce noise through
changes to PBN, including RNAV. This cooperation is a first-in-the-nation project between the FAA
and an airport operator to better understand the implications of PBN and evaluate strategies to
address community concerns.
 Massport continues to be a national leader in sound insulation mitigation. To date, Massport has
provided sound insulation for a total of 36 schools and 11,515 residential units and will continue to
seek funding for mitigation for properties that are eligible and whose owners have chosen to
participate.
 Nighttime operations represent 15 percent of total operations for 2017 at Logan Airport. Nighttime
operations increased, from an average of 152 per night in 2016 to 168 in 2017. The majority
(82 percent) of nighttime operations occurred either before midnight or after 5:00 AM.
 The 2017 Day-Night Average Sound Level (DNL) contour is similar in shape and size to that for 2016,
with slight increases overall. The total number of people residing within the DNL 65 decibel (dB)
contour increased from 7,450 in 2016 to 7,933 in 2017, an increase of 483 people. The additional
population within the DNL 65 dB contour is mainly located in Chelsea and in the area of East Boston
between the Runway 15R and Runway 22R ends. This increase is primarily due to the increase in
Runway 33L departures. Changes in runway use, primarily due to the Runway 4R closure, and an
increase in nighttime operations were also contributors to changes in the number of people exposed
to DNL values greater than or equal to 65 dB in 2017.
 In the Future Planning Horizon, the DNL 65 dB contour expands in certain areas due to the expected
growth in number of operations. The total number of people residing within the DNL 65 dB contour is
expected to increase from 7,933 in 2017 to 8,356 in the future, an increase of 423 people, all within
areas already sound-insulated by Massport or eligible for sound insulation in the past.
 Compared to 1990, the total number of people residing in the DNL 65 dB contour is about 82 percent
lower and 81 percent lower in 2017 and the Future Planning Horizon, respectively, due to improved
engine technology.
Air Quality/Emissions Reduction
Massport’s air quality management strategy for Logan Airport focuses on decreasing emissions from
Airport-related sources. Since Massport does not have direct control over aircraft operations or fleet
choices by the airlines, it continues to focus on areas that Massport does control or has an opportunity to
influence. Key Massport initiatives to reduce air emissions from Airport operations include:
 Replacement of gas- and diesel-powered GSE with electric equivalents by the end of 2027, where
commercially available;
 Commitment to LEED® and other sustainable building standards;
 Investment in renewable energy installations on-Airport (solar/wind);
 Use of clean-fuel shuttle buses; and
 Implementation of extensive strategies to promote HOV use and ground transportation
improvements.

Boston Logan International Airport 2017 ESPR
Introduction/Executive Summary 1-35
Massport prepared emissions inventories for 2017 for the criteria pollutants carbon monoxide (CO),
particulate matter (PM10/PM2.5), and volatile organic compounds (VOCs), as well GHGs and oxides of
nitrogen (NOx). Massport also prepared emissions inventories for the Future Planning Horizon. Key
findings of those emissions inventories include:
 Total modeled emissions of CO, PM10/PM2.5, and VOCs have decreased from 2016 to 2017 by about
4 percent, 20 percent, and less than 1 percent, respectively, even though aircraft operations have
increased over the same time period. In the future, total emissions of CO, PM10/PM2.5, and VOCs are
predicted to decrease further by about 2 percent, 10 percent, and 8 percent, respectively, compared
to 2017 levels. The projected reduction in emissions is due to a combination of the conversion of GSE
to viable electric alternatives, lower motor vehicle emissions due to greater efficiency, cleaner aircraft
engine technologies, and changes in aircraft fleet mix.
 Total emissions of NOx increased by about 12 percent from 2016 to 2017. This increase in NOx is
almost entirely attributed to the changing aircraft fleet (i.e., greater use of quieter, more fuel-efficient
aircraft engines that overall result in fewer emissions with the exception of NOx) coupled with the
forecasted increase in aircraft operations at the Airport. Emissions of NOx are predicted to increase by
about 37 percent in the Future Planning Horizon compared to 2017. The changes are also attributable
to the FAA’s Aviation Environmental Design Tool (AEDT) model, which assumes higher NOx emission
factors compared to the legacy Emissions and Dispersion Modeling System (EDMS) model. NOx
emissions associated with GSE, motor vehicles, and stationary sources, many of which Massport has
control or influence, have declined.
 GHG emissions increased from 2016 to 2017 by about 8 percent due primarily to the increase in
aircraft operations. Total Logan Airport GHG emissions, however, remained less than 1 percent of
statewide emissions in 2017. Total emissions of GHG in the Future Planning Horizon are predicted to
be about 23 percent higher than 2017 levels predominantly due to the predicted increase in aircraft
operations.
Please see Chapter 7, Air Quality/Emissions Reduction, for additional information.
Water Quality/Environmental Compliance and Management
Massport’s approach to environmental management and compliance is a key component of its
commitment to sustainability and responsible stewardship at Logan Airport. Through monitoring and
documentation, Massport assesses environmental performance, continually developing, implementing,
evaluating, and improving policies and programs. Massport promotes appropriate environmental
practices through pollution prevention and remediation measures. Massport also works closely with
tenants and operations staff at Logan Airport in an effort to continuously improve environmental
compliance. Key findings in this ESPR include:
 In 2017, 100 percent of Massport’s stormwater samples were in compliance with National Pollutant
Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit requirements.
 Massport has had its International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 14001 Environmental
Management System (EMS) in place since 2006.

Boston Logan International Airport 2017 ESPR
Introduction/Executive Summary 1-36
 Massport periodically updates and maintains its Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) for
Logan Airport.
 Massport continues to assess, remediate, and bring to regulatory closure areas of subsurface
contamination.
 Eight spills required reporting in 2017, a decrease from the 2016 reportable spills (14 total). The
number of spills entering a drainage system also decreased, from five in 2016 to two in 2017.
For additional information, please see Chapter 8, Environmental Compliance and Management/Water
Quality.
Logan Airport Environmental Review Process
This 2017 ESPR is part of a well-established, formal state-level environmental review process that assesses
Logan Airport’s cumulative environmental impacts. The process provides a context against which
individual projects at Logan Airport meeting state and federal environmental review thresholds are
evaluated on a project-specific basis. The Airport-wide and project-specific environmental review
processes are described below.
Historical Context for the Logan Airport EDR/ESPR
In 1979, the Secretary of EEA issued a Certificate requiring Massport to define, evaluate, and disclose
every three years the impact of long-term growth at the Airport through a Generic Environmental Impact
Report (GEIR). The Certificate also required interim Annual Updates to provide data on conditions for the
years between GEIRs. The GEIR evolved into an effective planning tool for Massport and provided
projections of environmental conditions so that the cumulative effects of individual projects could be
evaluated within a broader context.
EEA eliminated GEIRs following the 1998 revisions to its MEPA regulations. However, the Secretary’s
Certificate on the 1997 Annual Update 30 proposed a revised environmental review process for
Logan Airport resulting in Massport’s preparation of subsequent EDRs/ESPRs. The more comprehensive
ESPRs provide a long-range analysis of projected operations, passengers, and cumulative impacts, while
EDRs are prepared annually to provide a review of environmental conditions for the reporting year
compared to the previous year. The EDR/ESPR process was developed to allow individual projects at
Logan Airport to be considered and analyzed in the broader, Airport-wide context. As stated in the
introduction to the 1999 ESPR , “while the Logan ESPR and EDRs provide the broad planning context for
projects proposed for Logan Airport and future planning concepts under consideration by Massport, no
specific projects can be built solely on the basis of inclusion and discussion in the 1999 ESPR.” It continues
to state that projects that meet MEPA or NEPA review thresholds must undergo those processes, as
needed. In short, the EDRs/ESPRs provide a cumulative planning context which complements the
individual project-specific filings.
30 Certificate of the Secretary of the Executive Office of Environmental Affairs on the Logan Airport 1997 Annual Update, issued on
October 16, 1998.

Boston Logan International Airport 2017 ESPR
Introduction/Executive Summary 1-37
In the last several years, aircraft operations and passenger activity levels and associated environmental
effects have remained well below levels previously analyzed for Logan Airport. Thus, the forecasted
aviation growth presented in the 2004 ESPR , the predicate upon which the ESPR schedule was initially
established, has not occurred. Accordingly, with the approval of the Secretary, Massport prepared
2009 and 2010 EDRs in lieu of the ESPR originally planned for 2009. The 2011 ESPR , filed in early 2013,
reported on calendar year 2011 and updated passenger activity level and aircraft operations forecasts. The
combined 2012/2013 EDR presented conditions for both calendar years 2012 and 2013. The 2014 EDR ,
2015 EDR , and 2016 EDR presented conditions for calendar years 2014, 2015, and 2016.
This 2017 ESPR provides a comprehensive, cumulative analysis of activity levels and environmental
conditions for that 2017 and the Future Planning Horizon. Massport proposes to prepare a combined
2018/2019 EDR to report the effects of all Logan Airport activities based on actual passenger activity and
aircraft operations in 2018 and 2019, with an anticipated publication by 2020. Where appropriate,
Massport will continue to identify and address any longer-term aviation and environmental trends in both
EDRs and ESPRs. As directed in the Secretary’s Certificate on the Terminal E Modernization Project ENF,
the EDR/ESPR will continue to be the forum to address cumulative, Airport-wide impacts.
Project-Specific Review
While this Airport-wide review provides the broad planning context for proposed projects and future
planning concepts, certain Airport projects are also subject to a project-specific, public environmental
review process when they meet state environmental review thresholds. When required, Massport and
Airport tenants submit ENFs and EIRs pursuant to MEPA. Similarly, where NEPA 31 environmental review is
triggered, projects are reviewed under the NEPA environmental review process.

Introducción/Resumen ejecutivo
Introducción
Massachusetts Port Authority (Massport) continúa con su práctica de más de tres décadas de brindar un registro
exhaustivo sobre las tendencias medioambientales, el planeamiento de las instalaciones, y los niveles de
operaciones y de pasajeros y los compromisos de mitigación de Massport en este Informe de estado
medioambiental y planificación (Environmental Status and Planning Report, ESPR) de 2017 del Aeropuerto
Internacional de Boston, Logan .
El aeropuerto Logan, cuyo propietario y operador es Massport, cumple una función
clave en las redes de transporte de pasajeros y de carga en el área metropolitana de
Boston y de Nueva Inglaterra. Es el principal aeropuerto del área metropolitana de
Boston, el aeropuerto más importante de Nueva Inglaterra en cuanto a los servicios
de larga distancia y una gran puerta de entrada internacional a los EE. UU. para los
servicios transatlánticos. Los límites del aeropuerto abarcan aproximadamente
970 hectáreas en el Este de Boston y Winthrop, incluidas aproximadamente 283
hectáreas en el puerto de Boston. El aeropuerto Logan comprende seis pistas,
aproximadamente 24 140 metros de pistas para carreteo y aproximadamente
97 hectáreas de plataformas de cemento y asfalto. El aeropuerto Logan tiene cuatro terminales de pasajeros
interconectadas (Terminales A, B, C y E), cada una con sus propias instalaciones de emisión de pasajes, reclamo
de equipaje y transporte terrestre. El aeropuerto está a menos de cinco kilómetros del centro de Boston y se
puede acceder a este por dos líneas de transporte público, cinco líneas de autobuses directas y un sistema de
carreteras bien conectadas. Massport brinda el servicio de autobuses Logan Express desde y hacia el aeropuerto
Logan para los pasajeros de aéreos y para los empleados de los aparcamientos disuasorios en Braintree,
Framingham, Woburn y Peabody. Massport también brinda el servicio urbano Logan Express desde el área de
Back Bay de Boston.
Este ESPR de 2017 pertenece a una serie de documentos de revisión medioambiental anual entregados al
secretario de la Oficina Ejecutiva de Energía y Asuntos Medioambientales (Executive Office of Energy and
Environmental Affairs, EEA) en cumplimiento con la Oficina de la Ley de Políticas Medioambientales de
Massachusetts (Massachusetts Environmental Policy Act, MEPA). 1 Desde 1979, Massport presenta estos
documentos para informar los efectos medioambientales acumulados de las operaciones y de las actividades del
aeropuerto Logan. El aeropuerto Logan es el primer aeropuerto del país para el que se confeccionó una

Crecimiento de la actividad de pasajeros y de aeronaves en el
aeropuerto Logan
En 2017, los niveles de actividad de pasajeros en el aeropuerto Logan alcanzaron 38,4 millones en todo
momento, un aumento del 5,9 por ciento en comparación con 2016. Las operaciones de las aeronaves
aumentaron de forma más paulatina, alcanzando un total de 401.371 en 2017, un aumento del 2,6 por
ciento en comparación con 2016. Esta tendencia continuó en 2018, y los niveles de actividad de pasajeros
alcanzaron un total de 40,9 millones y las operaciones de las aeronaves fueron de 424.024 ( Figura 1-5 ) El
crecimiento está directamente correlacionado con las fuertes economías nacionales y regionales. Las
operaciones de las aeronaves permanecen muy por debajo de las 487.996 operaciones del 2000 y del pico
histórico de 507.449 operaciones alcanzadas en 1998 ( Figura 1-6 ). El crecimiento más lento de las
operaciones de las aeronaves en comparación con los niveles de pasajeros se debe al aumento constante
en el tamaño de las aeronaves y a la mejora en los factores de carga de las aeronaves
(pasajeros/disponibilidad de asientos).

Introducción/Resumen ejecutivo 1-9
El crecimiento del aeropuerto Logan es consecuencia de la fuerte
economía regional
El crecimiento del aeropuerto Logan puede atribuirse a la fuerte economía local, regional y nacional. Junto
a este crecimiento surgen desafíos y Massport cuenta con una estrategia para abordar estos desafíos de
modo tal que permitirá que el aeropuerto Logan evolucione de manera sustentable y responsable en
cuanto al medioambiente.
El aeropuerto Logan es el aeropuerto más grande de los seis estados de la región de Nueva Inglaterra,
que tiene una población de aproximadamente 14,8 millones de residentes. El aeropuerto está ubicado en
Massachusetts, que alberga a 6,8 millones de residentes, o el 47 por ciento de la población total de Nueva
Inglaterra. El aeropuerto presta servicios a pasajeros de toda Nueva Inglaterra y la principal zona de
influencia está compuesta por los siguientes cinco condados de Massachusetts: Essex, Middlesex, Norfolk,
Plymouth y Suffolk (que incluye la ciudad de Boston). De acuerdo con las estadísticas disponibles más
recientes, 4,4 millones de personas residen en esta área de cinco condados y según las proyecciones, la
población dentro del área de influencia aumentará un 0,5 por ciento por año en los próximos 19 años. 2 El
área metropolitana de Boston ha mantenido en forma constante una menor tasa de desempleo (3,4 por
ciento) que la de la Mancomunidad (3,7 por ciento) y que la del país entero (4,4 por ciento). 3 El
aeropuerto no solo atiende a una población en crecimiento, sino también a una población con mayores
ingresos. El ingreso per capita en 2017 fue de USD 65 941 (dólares estadounidenses en 2009) en el área
de servicios principal del aeropuerto, 11,2 por ciento más alta que en la Mancomunidad y 45,5 por ciento
más alta que el promedio nacional. 4
El aeropuerto Logan es un recurso de transporte y económico clave en la región de Nueva Inglaterra, en
el estado y en el área metropolitana de Boston, que alberga una gran variedad de industrias. Las
industrias con la mayor cantidad de empleados incluyen la atención médica y la asistencia social, los
servicios educativos, profesionales, científicos y tecnológicos (que incluyen la creciente industria
biotecnológica de Boston). 5 En 2017, Boston fue declarada la ciudad n.° 1 en los EE. UU. por fomentar el
crecimiento y la innovación empresarial. 6 El aporte de la innovación y de las nuevas empresas también se
evidencia en los cálculos del crecimiento económico desde finales de 2017 hasta la fecha y refleja
tendencias al aumento de empleos y de industrias de alta tecnología.
Además de respaldar el crecimiento y éxito económico del estado, el aeropuerto Logan y la industria
aeroportuaria son elementos importantes para la economía estatal y regional. La Actualización del estudio

actualizada más recientemente en 2019, 7 calcula que los aeropuertos de Massport contribuyen con
aproximadamente USD 23,1 mil millones en producción a la economía de Massachusetts anualmente. De
esta producción, el 71 por ciento se debe solo al aeropuerto Logan. 8 La producción total incluye negocios
dentro del aeropuerto, construcción, visitantes y efectos multiplicadores (consulte la Figura 1-7 ). 9 El
aeropuerto Logan respalda más de 162.000 puestos de trabajo directos e indirectos, al mismo tiempo que
genera aproximadamente USD 16,3 mil millones por año en producción económica total. 10 En 2017, se
contrataron más de 20 000 personas en el aeropuerto Logan. Esto incluyó aproximadamente 1285
miembros del personal y empleados administrativos del aeropuerto Massport. 11
El aeropuerto Logan se considera un aeropuerto de origen y destino (O&D)) 12 tanto nacional como
internacionalmente, lo que significa que, aproximadamente, el 90 por ciento de los pasajeros del
aeropuerto Logan inician o finalizan su viaje en el área de Nueva Inglaterra. Los aeropuertos principales,
como el de Atlanta o Chicago, atienden a muchos más pasajeros anualmente, pero en comparación con
los aeropuertos de O&D, como el aeropuerto Logan, pasa un porcentaje mayor de pasajeros en tránsito
en los aeropuertos principales a través de los vuelos de conexión. El aeropuerto Logan es uno de los
aeropuertos grandes con crecimiento más rápido de los EE. UU. en cuanto a la cantidad de pasajeros en
los últimos cinco años. 13 En 2017, el tráfico de pasajeros aéreos en los EE. UU. creció un 3,5 por ciento,
mientras que el aeropuerto Logan experimentó un crecimiento de pasajeros del 5,9 por ciento. 14 Los
pasajeros aéreos internacionales contribuyen con una parte sustancialmente mayor a la economía
regional que los pasajeros con destinos nacionales. En 2017, el aeropuerto Logan dio la bienvenida a
1,6 millones de visitantes extranjeros, un aumento del 4,8 por ciento en comparación con los niveles de
2016. 15 El nuevo servicio internacional ha aportado, solo en los últimos cinco años, más de USD 1,3 mil
millones por año a la economía local y USD 49 millones en nuevos ingresos incrementales y en ingresos
fiscales por ventas. 16

9 Los efectos multiplicadores se refieren a la recirculación del dinero en la economía local después de haber sido gastados
inicialmente por el aeropuerto, sus locatarios o los turistas. Esta recirculación aumenta el impacto general de las operaciones
del aeropuerto en la economía local.

12 El “tráfico de origen y de destino” se refiere al tráfico de los pasajeros que se origina o que termina en un aeropuerto o en un
mercado en particular. Un mercado de O&D fuerte, como Boston, genera una demanda local de pasajeros significativa, ya que
muchos pasajeros inician y terminan su viaje en ese mercado. El tráfico de O&D es diferente al tráfico de conexión, que es
tráfico de pasajeros que no inician ni terminan en el aeropuerto, sino que solo hacen conexiones en el aeropuerto en ruta hacia
otros destinos.
13 Entre 2012 y 2017, el aeropuerto Logan fue el 9.° aeropuerto con crecimiento más rápido en los EE. UU. en términos de tráfico
local de O&D (encuesta de O&D del Departamento de Transporte [Department of Transportation, DOT] de los EE. UU.).

Introducción/Resumen ejecutivo 1-12
Horizonte de planeación futura
Como parte de sus medidas de planificación estratégica en curso, Massport confecciona proyecciones de
las operaciones de las aeronaves y de los niveles de actividad de los pasajeros cada unos pocos años. Este
ESPR evalúa las condiciones de las operaciones y medioambientales futuras asociadas con una proyección
de 50 millones de pasajeros aéreos anuales y 486.000 operaciones de aeronaves anuales en los próximos
10 a 15 años (el horizonte de planificación futura). Las proyecciones de Massport son congruentes con la
proyección del área de la terminal de la Administración Federal de Aviación (Federal Aviation
Administration, FAA).
Inversiones de Massport en el aeropuerto Logan
Massport está comprometido con la evaluación y con la implementación de mejoras en el aeropuerto
Logan, con la seguridad, con la eficacia operativa y con el acceso desde y hacia el área metropolitana de
Boston, mientras controla atentamente los efectos medioambientales de las operaciones del aeropuerto
Logan. Massport mejora continuamente las instalaciones del aeropuerto Logan.
Actualmente, Massport está enfocado en mejorar la experiencia de los pasajeros y de los usuarios del
aeropuerto Logan en todos los aspectos de las instalaciones. Los proyectos del área de la terminal
recientes y en curso brindan una conectividad posterior a la seguridad sin inconvenientes entre las
terminales y mejoras al sistema de proceso de pasajeros a través de las áreas de verificación de seguridad
consolidadas. El acceso desde y alrededor del aeropuerto Logan es la nueva área crítica de mejora.
Para mejorar el acceso al aeropuerto así como para aliviar la congestión en las carreteras del aeropuerto,
Massport continúa mejorando los medios masivos de transporte (high-occupancy vehicle, HOV) y las
instalaciones de Logan Express, implementando proyectos de conectividad de las carreteras del
aeropuerto y la línea Blue de la Autoridad de Transporte de la Bahía de Massachusetts (Massachusetts Bay
Transportation Authority, MBTA)/entre las terminales, construyendo nuevas instalaciones de
estacionamiento consolidadas para que las empresas de red de transporte (transportation network
company, TNC; como Uber y Lyft) dejen o recojan pasajeros, y construyendo nuevas instalaciones de
estacionamiento, que ayudarán a reducir la cantidad de viajes para recoger/dejar pasajeros. Massport
continúa trabajando con la FAA para mejorar la seguridad en la zona de operaciones a través de una
variedad de mejoras en la seguridad del área de las pistas (runway safety area, RSA) y de simplificaciones
en la geometría del campo de aviación.
Estrategia de Massport para el manejo de las condiciones
medioambientales actuales y futuras
Massport comprende su función como propietario y operador del aeropuerto Logan y como responsable
del medioambiente. Este ESPR 2017 documenta las condiciones actuales en el aeropuerto, en función de
las proyecciones de las actividades de los pasajeros y de las operaciones de las aeronaves, modela las
futuras condiciones y describe los planes de Massport para manejar de manera responsable el
crecimiento en el aeropuerto al mismo tiempo que se minimizan los impactos medioambientales.

ESPR 2017 del Aeropuerto Internacional Logan de Boston
Introducción/Resumen ejecutivo 1-13
La estrategia de Massport de minimizar los impactos es una combinación de lo siguiente:
 Iniciativas de políticas y mejoras en la infraestructura.
 Inversiones en sustentabilidad y resiliencia.
 Apoyo y alianzas con la comunidad.
Como se describió anteriormente, debido a la fuerte economía, los niveles de actividad de pasajeros y de
operaciones de las aeronaves en el aeropuerto Logan han aumentado y se proyecta que continuará esta
tendencia a través del horizonte de planeación futura, y que posiblemente alcancen 50 millones de
pasajeros aéreos anuales en los próximos 10 a 15 años.
El éxito de Worcester Regional Airport ayuda a abastecer este crecimiento económico regional y a la
demanda de los viajes aéreos. En Worcester Regional Airport se observó un aumento en la cantidad de
pasajeros de un 32 por ciento en 2018 en comparación con 2017, y se informó un total de
aproximadamente 600.000 pasajeros desde 2013 hasta 2018. En los últimos cinco años, Worcester
Regional Airport ha experimentado una tasa de crecimiento promedio del 30 por ciento por año.
Massport continúa invirtiendo en Worcester Regional Airport. Junto con la ciudad de Worcester, Massport
ya ha comenzado una inversión de USD 100 millones a 10 años para revitalizar y atraer operaciones
comerciales en Worcester Regional Airport. Las inversiones incluyen un sistema de aterrizaje instrumental
de categoría (CAT) III (alrededor de USD 32 millones) que se pagaron con subvención federal y fondos de
Massport. Además, jetBlue Airways, American Airlines y Delta Air Lines anunciaron un nuevo servicio al
John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) de Nueva York, al Philadelphia International Airport y al Detroit
Metropolitan Wayne County Airport, respectivamente.
La estrategia de Massport de manejar el crecimiento del aeropuerto Logan de manera responsable en
cuanto al medioambiente se centra en iniciativas que Massport puede controlar o en las que pueden
influir. Por ejemplo, la mayoría de los impactos medioambientales asociados con el aeropuerto Logan
corresponden a las operaciones de las aeronaves y a las actividades relacionadas con estas, las que
Massport no puede controlar, pero hace un gran esfuerzo por influenciarlas.
Las próximas secciones destacan la estrategia de Massport y los éxitos en cuanto a la calidad del aire, al
acceso terrestre y a la disminución del ruido, así como su programa de sustentabilidad. A lo largo de este
informe, las iniciativas de sustentabilidad se destacan con una hoja de sustentabilidad.
En la Tabla 1-1 se brinda un resumen de condiciones medioambientales clave en el aeropuerto Logan en
2017 y condiciones futuras previstas y se documenta el enfoque planeado de Massport para limitar los
efectos sobre el medioambiente y sobre la comunidad.

Introducción/Resumen ejecutivo 1-17
Estrategia para la calidad del aire
Las emisiones totales de todas las fuentes relacionadas con el aeropuerto Logan son menores a las de
hace una década, a excepción del NOx. Esta tendencia hacia la disminución es congruente con el objetivo
de larga data de Massport de adaptarse a las demandas del aumento de pasajeros y de los niveles de
actividad de las cargas con menos operaciones de aeronaves y menos emisiones en donde sea posible. En
comparación con el 2016, los cambios en las emisiones atmosféricas en el 2017 están perfectamente
dentro de los valores dado el repunte correspondiente de las operaciones de las aeronaves.
Efecto de la tecnología de los motores de las aeronaves en el NOx
Las emisiones de las aeronaves continúan representando la fuente más grande (94 por ciento) de NOx en
el aeropuerto Logan, seguidas por otras fuentes (3 por ciento), el equipo de servicio terrestre (GSE) (2 por
ciento) y por los vehículos con motor (1 por ciento). Esta es una distinción importante, ya que Massport
no tiene ningún control sobre las emisiones de las aeronaves, que son la gran mayoría del total.
Para reducir las cantidades y los costos del uso de combustible, los diseñadores y los fabricantes de los
motores de las aeronaves están produciendo motores que ahorran más combustible (es decir, que
queman menos combustible). Esto se logra mejorando el desempeño del motor con tecnologías de
combustión mejoradas, mayor poder de propulsión y menor desgaste del motor. También se están
diseñando aeronaves para disminuir la quema de combustible con avances en la aerodinámica de las alas
y del cuerpo de las aeronaves, con materiales de aleaciones livianas y mejores medios de navegación. Se
prevé que estas nuevas tecnologías y la reducción en la quema de combustible reduzcan las emisiones,
reduzcan el ruido y moderen el crecimiento de las emisiones de NOx en el futuro.
Debido a que Massport no tiene un control directo sobre las operaciones de las aeronaves ni de las
elecciones de las flotas de las aerolíneas, continúa enfocándose en las áreas que controla para maximizar
la reducción de emisiones de estas fuentes sobre las que tiene posibilidades de influenciar. La estrategia
para el manejo de la calidad del aire de Massport para el aeropuerto Logan se enfoca en la reducción de
las emisiones de las fuentes relacionadas con el aeropuerto, además de continuar innovando en formas
de lograr las reducciones de las emisiones en todo el aeropuerto. Massport ha establecido una cantidad
de metas y objetivos para abordar las emisiones atmosféricas de las operaciones del aeropuerto, incluida
la minimización de las emisiones relacionadas con el aeropuerto a través de la reducción de las emisiones
de los GSE y de la flota de vehículos de Massport. Massport está enfocado en las siguientes iniciativas:
 Brindar infraestructura y fomentar prácticas que respalden las reducciones de las emisiones de
las aeronaves.
▪ Massport brinda aire preacondicionado (pre-conditioned air, PCA) y energía de 400 hertz (Hz)
en todas las puertas de contacto de las aeronaves para reducir el tiempo en que las
aeronaves tienen los motores encendidos y el uso de la unidad de potencia auxiliar (auxiliary
power unit, APU) cuando no hay suficientes puertas de embarque disponibles.
▪ Massport fomenta los procedimientos de carreteo con un solo motor por parte de las
aerolíneas para reducir tanto el ruido como las emisiones atmosféricas.

ESPR 2017 del Aeropuerto Internacional Logan de Boston
Introducción/Resumen ejecutivo 1-18
▪ Uso de remolcadores y de cintas de equipaje alimentados a batería para la flota del servicio
terrestre de Delta Air Lines en la Terminal A.
 Maximizar el uso del HOV y reducir los viajes en autos con un solo pasajero, especialmente los
viajes para recoger/dejar pasajeros, y el uso de vehículos privados por parte de los pasajeros
desde y hacia el aeropuerto.
▪ Massport implementa una amplia estrategia para el HOV y mejoras en el transporte terrestre
(consulte la siguiente sección, Estrategia de acceso terrestre, para obtener detalles).
 Reducir las emisiones de las flotas que operan en el aeropuerto Logan
▪ Massport está facilitando el reemplazo del GSE que funciona con gasolina y con diésel por
equipos que sean completamente eléctricos (eGSE) para finales de 2027 (según estén
disponibles comercialmente). En 2018, la La Agencia de Protección Medioambiental
(Environmental Protection Agency, EPA) de los EE. UU. otorgó una subvención de
USD 541.817 a Massport para reemplazar el GSE que funciona con gasolina y diésel en el
aeropuerto Logan. Esta subvención se usará junto con una subvención del programa Bajas
Emisiones Voluntarias en Aeropuertos (Voluntary Airport Low Emissions, VALE) de la FAA que
Massport recibió en el otoño de 2018 para instalar estaciones de carga de eGSE como parte
del Proyecto de optimización de la Terminal B.
▪ Massport continúa con su programa de incentivo “Clean-Air-Cab” (Taxi que permite un aire
limpio) para que se utilicen vehículos con combustible alternativo (alternative fuel vehicles,
AFV).
 Brindar infraestructura para respaldar los combustibles alternativos, incluido el gas natural
comprimido (GNC) y la electricidad
▪ Massport continúa operando una de sus estaciones minoristas de GNC más grandes de
Nueva Inglaterra, que está abierta al público. En 2017, la estación de GNC dispensó
aproximadamente el equivalente a 25 234 galones por mes para todos los vehículos de la
flota de Massport (vehículos que no pertenecen a Massport también usaron GNC).
▪ Massport respalda los sistemas estándar actuales y futuros para los vehículos eléctricos
(electric vehicles, EV) que se enchufan. Por ejemplo, el centro de alquiler de automóviles
(Rental Car Center, RCC) en el área de servicio sudoeste (Southwest Service Area, SWSA)
incluye la infraestructura necesaria para instalar futuras estaciones para enchufar EV.
▪ Massport ha instalado 13 estaciones para enchufar EV, para abastecer a un total de 26
vehículos en Central Garage y en las zonas de estacionamiento de la Terminal B. Massport
está comprometido con el aumento de la disponibilidad de las estaciones para enchufar EV
para que el 150 por ciento de esta demanda esté disponible en todas las instalaciones en
todo momento.
▪ Actualmente, hay 64 estaciones de carga instaladas en el aeropuerto Logan y en sitios de
Logan Express, y está previsto que se instalarán 62 estaciones más para 2020.

ESPR 2017 del Aeropuerto Internacional Logan de Boston
Introducción/Resumen ejecutivo 1-19
 Reducir las emisiones de los vehículos de la flota de Massport
▪ Massport continúa operando y aumentando su flota de 54 AFV/vehículos con energía
alternativa (alternative power vehicle, APV) en los autobuses de enlace del aeropuerto.
Massport también estableció una política de adquisición de vehículos en 2006 que exige que
se tengan en cuenta los AFV cuando se realicen compras.
 Reducir emisiones asociadas a los edificios de Massport, incluidas las necesidades
energéticas
▪ Massport se ha comprometido a alcanzar la certificación Leadership in Energy and
Environmental Design (LEED®) para los edificios elegibles, según corresponda.
▪ Massport continúa invirtiendo en instalaciones de energía renovable dentro del aeropuerto
(solar/eólica).
Estrategia para el acceso terrestre
Un foco clave de Massport es abordar la congestión de las carreteras dentro del aeropuerto con una
combinación de cambios en las políticas y con mejoras en la infraestructura. La importancia de aliviar la
congestión es doble: es necesario permitir que se continúen operando de manera segura y eficiente las
operaciones terrestres del aeropuerto y es necesario reducir los impactos en el medioambiente. Mejorar
las opciones de transporte multimodal, y brindar una infraestructura moderna y flexible es una forma
mediante la cual un aeropuerto puede reducir las emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero (GHG) y de
mejorar su huella ecológica.
Massport reconoce las diferentes formas de llegar y al aeropuerto y de partir de este, y cuenta con un
plan estratégico para aumentar la modalidad del HOV en un 40 por ciento para 2027. Además, manejar el
crecimiento de las TNC es esencial para tener capacidad para el volumen del tráfico dentro del aeropuerto
y para fomentar los servicios del HOV. Las reducciones de las posibles emisiones son una razón por la que
Massport está comprometido con un objetivo a largo plazo para fomentar y respaldar el HOV público y
privado, y los servicios de viajes compartidos dirigidos a los pasajeros aéreos, a los usuarios del
aeropuerto y a los empleados. Otros beneficios incluyen los siguientes:
 Reducir la congestión en las carreteras de las terminales y en las aceras de las áreas para
recoger/dejar pasajeros.
 Aliviar las restricciones en las instalaciones de estacionamiento limitadas.
 Servicio al cliente (brindar una variedad de opciones de transporte para las diferentes
características demográficas de los viajeros).
Las iniciativas descritas a continuación mejorarán las operaciones en las carreteras, así como la calidad de
las emisiones atmosféricas. Se prevé que estos cambios permitirán que Massport reduzca las millas
viajadas por vehículos (VMT) en el futuro a pesar del aumento de los niveles de actividad de los pasajeros.
Se prevén los siguientes cambios en las políticas:

ESPR 2017 del Aeropuerto Internacional Logan de Boston
Introducción/Resumen ejecutivo 1-20
 Mejoras al servicio suburbano de Logan Express
▪ Aumento del servicio Braintree de Logan Express de dos a tres viajes por hora (implementado
en mayo de 2019).
▪ Agregar alrededor de 1000 espacios en el estacionamiento Framingham.
▪ Construir hasta 3000 espacios de estacionamiento con estructura en Braintree, el que está
alcanzando su capacidad.
▪ Brindar estado de prioridad en la cola de seguridad para los usuarios de Logan Express Back
Bay (implementado en mayo de 2019).
▪ Ejecutar una campaña de publicidad sostenida para respaldar la estrategia de Logan Express y
para aumentar los viajes.
▪ Implementar la emisión de boletos electrónicos para Logan Express.
▪ Evaluar las nuevas ubicaciones suburbano de Logan Express, con un plan para abrir al menos
un sitio nuevo.
▪ Explorar las conexiones de destino final de las TNC. 17
▪ Renombrar los sitios de Logan Express como terminales remotas.
▪ Continuar monitoreando la capacidad de estacionamiento en todos los sitios de Logan
Express.
 Línea Silver de la MBTA
▪ Massport adquirió ocho autobuses de la línea Silver en 2005 y los opera la MBTA, y Massport
paga los costos operativos. Massport tiene previsto adquirir ochos autobuses más de la línea
Silver, lo que daría un total de 16 autobuses, para aumentar la frecuencia.
 Servicio urbano de Logan Express
▪ Cambiar la ubicación para recoger/dejar pasajeros de la estación Copley a Back Bay
(implementado en 2019).
▪ Descuento en la tarifa de un solo trayecto de USD 7,50 a USD 3,00 (implementado en mayo
de 2019).
▪ Servicio gratuito desde el aeropuerto Logan (implementado a los principios de 2019).
▪ Poner a prueba estado de prioridad en la cola de seguridad para los usuarios (implementado
en 2019).
▪ Llevar a cabo campañas publicitarias para respaldar el aumento de los viajes (en curso).
▪ Implementar la emisión de boletos electrónicos para Logan Express.
▪ Implementar un segundo servicio urbano de Logan Express en North Station.
17 Las personas que se encuentran a una distancia de 0,5 a 1 milla de una instalación de Logan Express conforman el grupo con
mayores probabilidades de usar las TNC para realizar el trayecto entre la instalación y sus hogares.

ESPR 2017 del Aeropuerto Internacional Logan de Boston
Introducción/Resumen ejecutivo 1-21
 Plan de manejo de TNC
▪ Facilitar el flujo de pasajeros y los viajes compartidos al trasladar la actividad de recoger/dejar
pasajeros de las TNC a nuevas áreas especialmente destinadas a tal fin en Central Garage.
▪ Implementar el flujo constante de pasajeros 18 de las TNC para que los conductores que dejan
un pasajero puedan retirarse con un pasajero más fácilmente.
▪ Introducir incentivos para los viajes compartidos de las TNC para reducir los vehículos de TNC
en los ingresos/las salidas al aumentar la cantidad de pasajeros en los vehículos.
▪ Adoptar una nueva estructura para las tarifas de las TNC para respaldar las estrategias de los
HOV, alentar los viajes compartidos y reducir la congestión en los ingresos/las salidas.
▪ Optimizar las operaciones de las TNC dentro del aeropuerto a través del informe de datos, de
las herramientas de cumplimiento y de los nuevos productos de las TNC.
 Mejoras en la infraestructura
▪ Mediante estudios en curso de las posibles situaciones de crecimiento futuro y de los
posibles impactos en las operaciones terrestres, Massport ha identificado la necesidad de
nuevas modificaciones a la infraestructura como complemento a los cambios en las políticas
para permitir que las áreas de las carreteras y de las aceras continúen funcionando
adecuadamente y para minimizar el tiempo que los vehículos están parados con los motores
encendidos y las emisiones asociadas.
▪ Se tendrán en cuenta una serie de alternativas para la infraestructura para su implementación
en los próximos 10 a 15 años. Las opciones para tener en cuenta podrían incluir carriles
especiales dentro del aeropuerto para los autobuses del HOV, la creación de un centro de
transporte de diferentes modalidades con servicio de autobuses a las terminales, la
construcción de un transporte hectométrico automatizado (Automated People Mover, APM)
o alguna combinación de estos y otras mejoras. Estos conceptos se describirán en las futuras
presentaciones de EDR/ESPR y es posible que se entreguen primero para su revisión en virtud
de la Ley de Políticas Medioambientales de Massachusetts (Massachusetts Environmental
Policy Act, MEPA) o de la Ley de Política Medioambiental Nacional (National Environmental
Policy Act, NEPA) a medida que esos conceptos evolucionen.
18 El flujo constante de pasajeros permite que los conductores que dejan pasajeros instantáneamente recojan otros pasajeros sin
la necesidad de dar vueltas en el aeropuerto o de retirarse vacíos.

Estrategia para el ruido
Massport se esfuerza por minimizar los efectos del ruido de las operaciones del aeropuerto Logan en sus
vecinos mediante diferentes programas, procedimientos, estudios y demás herramientas para la
disminución del ruido. En el aeropuerto Logan, Massport implementa uno de los programas de
disminución del ruido de mayor duración y más extensivos de cualquier aeropuerto del país. El programa
integral de disminución del ruido incluye una Oficina para la Disminución del Ruido especializada, un
sistema de monitoreo del ruido y de operaciones (Noise and Operations Monitoring System, NOMS) de
avanzada, programas de protección contra el sonido para casas y escuelas, restricciones de horarios y de
pistas para los aviones más ruidosos, procedimientos de prueba de motores en tierra y rastreo de vuelos
diseñado para optimizar las operaciones sobre el agua (especialmente durante las horas de la noche). La
población puede dejar asentadas quejas por ruido por teléfono o en línea a través del sitio web de
Massport. 19
La base del programa contra el ruido de Massport son las Normas y Reglamentaciones para la disminución
del ruido en el aeropuerto Logan 20 (las Normas contra el ruido), que rigen desde 1986. La Oficina para la
Diminución del Ruido de Massport se encarga de implementar medidas para la disminución del ruido y
de monitorear, generalmente, las quejas de la comunidad y otros aspectos de los efectos del ruido de las
operaciones del aeropuerto Logan.
Massport está enfocado en las siguientes iniciativas para la disminución del ruido:
 Asociaciones con aerolíneas y con la FAA
▪ En octubre de 2018, jetBlue Airways (la
aerolínea con mayor cantidad de
operaciones en el aeropuerto Logan)
anunció planes para modernizar su flota de
aerobuses más antigua con generadores de
vórtices, que reducen el ruido tonal al
acercarse. Este movimiento refleja la
asociación entre Massport y las aerolíneas
para reducir el ruido de las aeronaves para
beneficiar a las comunidades circundantes. A
medida que las aerolíneas modernizan las
aeronaves y hacen la transición a los nuevos
modelos de la familia A320, se prevé que la cantidad de aeronaves que operan en el
aeropuerto Logan sin generadores de vórtices disminuya. Para obtener más información,
consulte un comunicado de prensa en el que se analizan los generadores en el Capítulo 6,
Disminución del ruido .

20 Las Normas y Reglamentaciones para la Disminución del Ruido en el aeropuerto internacional Logan, vigentes a partir del 1 de
julio de 1986, se codifican como código 740 de las normas de Massachusetts (Code of Massachusetts Regulations, CMR) 24.00
et seq (también denominadas Normas contra el ruido).

▪ El 7 de octubre de 2016, Massport y la FAA firmaron un memorando de entendimiento
(Memorandum of Understanding, MOU) 21 para darle un marco al proceso para el análisis de
oportunidades para reducir el ruido mediante cambios o enmiendas a la navegación basada
en el rendimiento (performance based navigation, PBN), incluida la navegación de área
(RNAV). Esta colaboración es el primer programa en el país entre la FAA y un operador
aeroportuario para entender mejor lo que implica la PBN y para evaluar las estrategias para
abordar las preocupaciones de la comunidad. El líder técnico es el Instituto de Tecnología de
Massachusetts (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, MIT). El Bloque 1 se completó a finales
de 2017 y se hicieron recomendaciones a la FAA. Actualmente, el MIT está llevando a cabo el
análisis del Bloque 2.
▪ La flota que opera en el aeropuerto Logan está compuesta en un 80 por ciento por aeronaves
de fase 4 y en un 18 por ciento por aeronaves de fase 5 (las de fase 5 son las más silenciosas),
muy por encima de los motores de fase 3, exigidos como mínimo por la FAA.
▪ Massport continúa prohibiendo el uso de la pista 4L para las salidas y de la pista 22R para los
arribos desde las 11:00 p. m. hasta las 6:00 a. m., maximizando las operaciones sobre el agua
tarde a la noche, usando las pistas 15R y 33L, y restringiendo el aumento del volumen de los
motores y el uso de la APU a la noche.
▪ Massport continúa alentando el uso voluntario del carreteo con uso reducido de motores
cuando corresponde y es seguro (consulte el Apéndice L, Memorando de la reducción del
carreteo/carreteo con un solo motor en el aeropuerto Logan ).
▪ Massport continúa mejorando el sistema de monitoreo del ruido y busca cotizaciones para un
sistema mejorado.
 Programa para la protección contra el sonido
▪ Massport cuenta uno de los programas de protección contra el sonido en viviendas y en
escuelas más amplio del país. Al día de la fecha, Massport ha instalado protección contra el
sonido en 5467 viviendas, incluidas 11 515 unidades de viviendas y 36 escuelas en East
Boston, en Roxbury, en Dorchester, en Winthrop, en Revere, en Chelsea y en South Boston.
▪ Aproximadamente, el 8 por ciento de los solicitantes también eligieron la opción de
Habitación de preferencia que permite que el propietario señale una habitación

Programa de sustentabilidad y resiliencia
Massport está comprometido con un sólido programa de sustentabilidad. La sustentabilidad ha
redefinido los valores y los criterios para medir el éxito organizacional al usar un enfoque de resultado
triple que toma en cuenta el bienestar económico, ecológico y social. Aplicar este enfoque a la toma de
decisiones es una manera práctica de optimizar el capital económico, medioambiental y social. Massport
tiene una amplia visión de la sustentabilidad que se basa en el concepto de resultado triple y toma en
cuenta el contexto específico del aeropuerto. En congruencia con la definición de la sustentabilidad de los
aeropuertos del Consejo Internacional de Aeropuertos - Norteamérica (Airports Council International -
North America, ACI-NA), 22 Massport se centra en un enfoque holístico para el manejo del aeropuerto
Logan para garantizar la viabilidad económica, la eficacia operativa, la conservación de los recursos
naturales y la responsabilidad social (Economic viability, Operational efficiency, Natural resource
conservation, and Social responsibility, EONS). Massport está comprometido con la implementación de
prácticas sustentables para el medioambiente tanto por parte del aeropuerto como por parte de las
autoridades y continúa progresando en diferentes iniciativas. Las siguientes secciones resumen muchas
de las iniciativas de sustentabilidad a largo plazo y multifacéticas llevadas adelante por Massport, que se
describen de manera más detallada en los capítulos individuales de este ESPR 2017, si corresponde. La
Figura 1-9 destaca algunas de las iniciativas de sustentabilidad recientes de Massport.
Plan de manejo para la sustentabilidad (Sustainability Management Plan, SMP) del
aeropuerto Logan
En 2013, la FAA le otorgó a Massport un subsidio para preparar un SMP para el aeropuerto Logan. Las
iniciativas de planificación del SMP del aeropuerto Logan comenzaron en mayo de 2013 y se completaron
en abril de 2015. El SMP del aeropuerto Logan tiene una amplia perspectiva de sustentabilidad que
incluye el estudio de la vitalidad económica, de la eficacia operativa, de la conservación de los recursos
naturales y de la responsabilidad social. El SMP del aeropuerto Logan tiene como objetivo promover e
integrar la sustentabilidad en todo el aeropuerto, y coordinar las iniciativas de sustentabilidad en curso en
todo Massport. El SMP del aeropuerto Logan desarrolló un marco y un plan de implementación, con
mediciones y objetivos diseñados para hacer un seguimiento del progreso en el tiempo.
Actualmente, Massport trabaja sobre la visión de “Sustentabilidad 2.0” de Massport como una próxima
medida de planificación para implementar los principios y enfoques del SMP en otras instalaciones de
Massport y para actualizar las metas y los objetivos de sustentabilidad. Actualmente, Massport está
avanzando en una serie de iniciativas a corto plazo para ayudar a alcanzar sus objetivos (consulte la
Tabla 1-2 ) en las áreas de (1) energía y emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero, (2) conservación del
agua, (3) bienestar de la comunidad, de los empleados y de los pasajeros, (4) materiales, manejo de los
desperdicios y reciclado, (5) resiliencia, (6) disminución del ruido, (7) mejora de la calidad del aire, (8)
acceso terrestre y conectividad, (9) calidad del agua/desagües pluviales y (10) recursos naturales.
