King County is pleased to be able to continue providing assistance the Washington State Deparuaent of Ecology (DOE) by making our technical review capacity and knowledge of local stormwaterconditions available for the reviewof the Port of Seattle's Comprehensive -. StormwaterManagementPlan (SMP) forMasterPlan Improvementsat SeaTac International Airport.This effortcontinuesto set anexcellent example of how State and local government canworkcooperativelyto providethe regionwith high quality service, cspeciaUyin these times of fiscal stressfor governmentservices. As with our previousreviewof this project,it is importantto keep in mind the limitationsof the workthat we have performed.

No assumption of concurrencewith the technical detailsor effectivenessof additional projects should be assumed withoutour specific written comment.
