This document is a Port of Seattle environmental map identifying two Maritime North Properties — Fishermen's Terminal and Terminal 91 — designated as Environmental Remediation Liability Sites as of November 2019. The map outlines the property boundaries requiring environmental cleanup and was presented as an attachment to an agenda item at the Port of Seattle's November 19, 2019 meeting. Note that this document pertains to maritime environmental liabilities and does not contain information related to Sea-Tac Airport noise policy.

Sidebar On/Off

As the source for federal transportation grants, the Puget Sound Regional Council was charged with developing a system to meet the growing need for commercial aviation. When the search for a second airport failed, they authorized the Port of Seattle to build the Third Runway, with a mandate to develop a noise abatement and mitigation program. In their effort to stop the Third Runway, the ACC argued over every detail of the Port's efforts--including property buyouts and sound insulation. The dispute was meant to be settled by a three member Expert Arbitration Panel. This is their final report. It finds 2-1, that the Port's program was insufficient in several respects. Despite that, funding for the Third Runway was approved by the PSRC, and the 'Port Package' program, proceeded largely unchanged. Expert Arbitration Panel's final decision finding that the Port of Seattle had not shown sufficient reduction in real on-the-ground noise impacts to satisfy noise reduction conditions required for approval of a third runway at Sea-Tac International Airport. The majority decision concluded the Port's noise abatement programs were insufficient despite being impressive in scope.
