Requirements
The United States Government, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is
seeking alternative locations to locate its Weather Surveillance Radar – 1988 Doppler KBOX.
The Delineated Area is within Massachusetts or Rhode Island bounded by:
North: MA Route 3 East (Northwest Expressway) to I-95 South
East: I-95 South to I-495 East to I-195 West
South: I-195 West to I-95 North
West: I-95 North to I-495 North to MA Route 3
Regional Airports/Airparks in the Greater Boston Area will be considered and evaluated even if
outside the Delineated Area, above.
The site shall be zoned for airpark/airport or industrial to permit the operation of a Weather
Surveillance Radar. The proposed site shall not be in the 1 percent annual chance/0.2 percent
annual chance floodplain (formerly referred to as the 100-year/500-year floodplain).
The environment and terrain surrounding the site including the below will be evaluated to
determine suitability for the operation of the Weather Surveillance Radar:
● quality and extent of any screening objects over the 360 degree azimuth sector: hills,
buildings (existing or proposed), tree growth (existing or proposed), horizon, etc;
● radar reflectors (reflecting surfaces); terrain features (soil type, bodies of water,
mountains, farmland, forests, urban areas);
● environmental features (areas affected by National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA),
and its implementing guidelines and policies);
● elevation to scan the 360 degree horizon, site, distances and terrain will be evaluated
case by case to verify if site meets mission requirements;
● electrical power (access to/above ground and/or buried to minimize broadband noise
interference), surface traffic, drainage, sanitation and area development
The Site Geometry.
● Land Area Size: Site size must be no less than 10,500 square feet and no larger than
21,800 square feet of improved land;
● Site geometry permits placement of radar facilities (i.e. WSR-88D radar plus four
shelters and three parking spaces) and any associated equipment [minimum 120 feet by
90 feet];
● Premises must have 24/7 access to a public right of way for regular inspection and
maintenance of the radar facilities;
● The greater premises must have at least two means of ingress/egress to public right of
ways;
● Access to public right-of-ways shall not be in the 1 percent annual chance/0.2 percent
annual chance floodplain (formerly referred to as the 100-year/500-year floodplain);
● The site must possess appropriate land use for a weather surveillance radar;
● Maximize use of existing facilities to minimize installation costs; provided this does not
