Chelsea Soundproofing Mitigation Program
• Program is the result of AIP Record of Decision (ROD) relative to construction of Runway 14/32
• 14/32 provides a third runway when wind conditions require east-west runway configuration.
• ROD calls for Massport provide building code upgrades needed for sound insulation, to the extent that such code upgrades are necessary.
