Professional Certification Confirming Environmental Remedial Action and Owner/Agency Certification of Environmental Remedial Action

Notes

Hart Crowser, Inc. submitted a signed and completed Department of Revenue Form 41s to the Washington State Department of Ecology’s Toxics Cleanup Program regarding Washington State Sales Tax Exemption and Business & Occupation Tax Credit for Environmental Remedial Action Projects (J-7600000). The Professional Certification was signed by Matthew F. Schultz, P.E., confirming that an environmental remedial action is to be conducted at the corner of NE 4th Street and 108th Avenue in Bellevue, King County. The action was conducted independently and in a manner consistent with the requirements of the Model Toxics Control Act, Chapter 70.105D RCW (MTCA).

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.
