L. c. 30, ss. 61-62I) and Section 11.06 of the MEPA regulations (301 CMR 11.00), I hereby determine that this project does not require an Environmental Impact Report (EIR). The purpose of the project is to ensure a reliable and uninterrupted power supply to the Massachusetts Water Resources Authority’s (MWRA) Deer Island Treatment Plant (DITP) and to facilitate the commencement of the Boston Harbor Deep Draft Navigation Improvement Project (BHDDNIP) to be undertaken by Army Corps of Engineers (ACOE) and the Massachusetts Port Authority (Massport) (EEA# 12958). The DITP treats wastewater generated by over 2 million residents in 43 communities and its uninterrupted operation is critical for maintaining the ecological health of the Commonwealth’s coastal waters. The BHDDNIP is necessary to maintain the important region-wide benefits of the Port of Boston’s maritime activity. Deepening the navigation channels will accommodate larger cargo vessels with deeper drafts that are increasingly used in the global transfer of goods.

  • Outreach Letter
    Massachusetts Port Authority One Harborside Drive, Suite 200S East Boston, MA 02128-2909 Telephone (617) 568-5000 www.massport.com December 2, 2020 Re: Boston Logan International Airport/Critical Airspace Surfaces To the Massachusetts Real Estate Development Community: As the owner and operator of Boston Logan International Airport (Logan Airport), the Massachusetts Port Authority (Massport) is pleased to provide you with a copy of our composite map of Critical Airspace Surfaces for Boston Logan Airport (Airspace Map). The Boston-Logan Airspace Map is designed to inform local, municipal and state planning agencies, regulators and sponsors of real estate projects about Boston-Logan airspace designations and guidelines. Our goal is to enable projects to be planned, permitted and constructed in a manner that avoids any adverse impact on Logan airspace and, consequently, on Logan operations. Massport utilizes the Airspace Map to educate private and public interests on the critical height criteria that must be maintained near the Airport to avoid encroachment into and degradation of Logan’s airspace and provide a reference resource. Encroachment into Logan’s airspace will reduce safety margins and impact runway use patterns over communities. The Airspace Map is available at the following link: https://www.massport.com/logan-airport/about-logan/logan-airspace-map/. Review of the Airspace Map and early coordination with Massport are the essential first steps developers must take before filing with the Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA) through the 7460 Obstruction Evaluation process. This formal review of specific projects is administered by the FAA for analysis of and determination of “hazard” or “no hazard” to navigable airspace.

  • Aisling Kerr, Project Manager From: BPDA Urban Design Staff Date: March 18, 2019 Subject: Back Bay South End Gateway Project Scoping Comments
    MEMO: To: Aisling Kerr, Project Manager From: BPDA Urban Design Staff Date: March 18, 2019 Subject: Back Bay South End Gateway Project Scoping Comments Commonwealth Pier Trust II (the proponent) proposes the revitalization of the Commonwealth Pier located at 200 Seaport Boulevard and bounded by the Boston Harbor on three sides. The project aims to modernize and reposition the existing building and pier for the existing tenant (Fidelity Investments) and public access, primarily along the Harborwalk. An increase of retail along Seaport Boulevard is intended to enhance the existing office and hotel uses in the area. Architect for the Building Renovation is Schmidt Hammer Lassen Architects. Architect of Record is CBT. BPDA Urban Design staff have had two meetings on the project, with preliminary comments. The general approach and focus on improving the Harborwalk and public realm around the pier is appreciated. The BPDA Urban Design staff look forward to continuing to work with the proponent on the interface of the project with the public realm and the reconceptualization of the head house and the main shed building. The scoping comments below reflect some of the issues that are notable at this moment in the design and development timeline. BPDA Urban Design staff anticipates working closely with our colleagues in Transportation and Climate Change and Waterfront Planning on how the design progresses. Also note that Boston Civic Design Commission (BCDC) comments will be issued as an addendum to this memo, as the project has not yet been reviewed by the Commission. General Urban Design Comments The project proposes bring the building out of the 1980s rehabilitation that isolated the building from the active South Boston Waterfront neighborhood.

  • Inaugural Boston Logan International Airport Fly Quiet Report
    Massport Community Advisory Committee One Broadway, 14th Floor Cambridge, MA 02142 September 10, 2020 (VIA ELECTRONIC MAIL) Massport CAC Members RE: Inaugural Boston Logan International Airport Fly Quiet Report Dear Massport CAC Members: Attached you will find Massport’s transmittal letter as well as a copy of the official Inaugural Boston Logan International Airport Fly Quiet Report. At the request of the Massport Community Advisory Committee (MCAC), Massport contracted with aviation consultant Harris Miller Miller & Hanson Inc. (HMMH) to develop the report. Massport worked collaboratively with the MCAC to develop the report to increase transparency and provide more information for the communities and the residents impacted by Logan’s operations. Logan Airport joins other U.S. airports, such as San Francisco International Airport and O’Hare International Airport in Chicago, who also publish quarterly Fly Quiet Reports. As quarterly reports are released, the MCAC will continue to provide feedback to Massport on ways to improve the report over time. The MCAC aims to use the data to work with Massport to develop a Fly Quiet Program to encourage airlines to optimize their operations and provide noise benefits for the residents impacted by Logan Airport. Let me know if you have any questions. Sincerely, Matthew A. Romero Massport CAC Executive Director Enc: Inaugural Massport Fly Quiet Report and Transmittal Letter cc: David Carlon, MCAC Chair Massachusetts Port Authority One Harborside Drive, Suite 200S East Boston, MA 02128-2909 Telephone (617) 568-5000 www.massport.com September 2, 2020 VIA Electronic Mail Matthew Romero, Executive Director Massport Community Advisory Committee [email protected] RE: Fly Quiet Report Dear Mr.

  • Massport Receives $100,000 Stimulus Grant to Extend Shore Power at Boston Fish Pier and Cut Vessel Emissions
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE MEDIA CONTACTS: Lisa Langone or Matt Brelis May 15, 2009 617-568-3100 MASSPORT RECEIVES $100,000 STIMULUS GRANT TO EXTEND SHORE POWER AT BOSTON FISH PIER AND CUT VESSEL EMISSIONS MassDEP Identifies Maritime Project for Its Merit and Shovel-Ready Status BOSTON – The Massachusetts Port Authority (Massport) announced today that it was selected to receive a $100,000 Stimulus package grant from the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP) to further provide shore-to-ship power at the Boston Fish Pier. The money adds to a $400,000 EPA grant that Massport received earlier this year to allow fishing boats and visiting vessels the ability to “plug in” for electricity while tied up. The new funds will allow construction of up to six more electrified berths, and come under the federal American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. The MassDEP grant is part of $1.73 million in stimulus funding by the EPA for diesel pollution reduction investments given to Massachusetts. Massport’s partially-funded berth electrification project was chosen to be included in MassDEP’s MassCleanDiesel stimulus package, based on its merit and shovel-ready status. Massport currently maintains up to four electrified berths on the Fish Pier that supply shore-to-ship power for as many as four docked vessels, but more than a dozen fishing vessels regularly tie up at the pier. Most vessels use onboard diesel generators for power and heat. These generators release diesel fuel emissions and are expensive to run. In February, Massport received $400,000 through EPA’s 2008 Northeast Diesel Collaborative Emissions Reduction Grant Program to upgrade the existing berths and add 12 new ones.
