EXH AR018266: Attachment X — NRMP Plan Set Revisions for Miller Creek Relocation, Floodplain Enhancement, and In-Stream Buffer Enhancements

Notes

Email from Ann Kenny to Katie Walter (cc: Raymond Hellwig, Erik Stockdale) dated July 31, 2001, transmitting Attachment X: NRMP Plan Set Revisions (AR018266, DOE 8/13/01 0567). The attachment lists prescriptive revision requirements for plan sheets in Appendix A (Miller Creek Relocation and Floodplain Enhancement) and Appendix B (Miller Creek In-stream and Buffer Enhancements), including revisions to sheets C3, C4, C7, C8, C9, C10, TE1–TE5, and L2. Requirements cover irrigation system design, grading plans showing no work in streams, woody debris anchoring with cable or hemp, steel anchors for logs, stream de-watering during re-grading, coir fabric lifts, geotextile biodegradable fabric, live stake density, stream diversion structures, flexible by-pass pipe, sump discharge to treatment pond, construction access restoration, hazardous materials management, and sediment migration prevention. Auburn site mitigation sequencing also referenced.

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.
