Air Mail: First Community Workshop For Tackling Airport Noise Issues

The Winter 2010 edition of Air Mail, published by the Port of Seattle, announces the first community workshop for a new FAA Part 150 Noise and Land-Use Compatibility Study at Sea-Tac Airport, scheduled for February 24, 2010, at Mount Rainier High School in Des Moines. The study aims to assess existing and future noise levels, evaluate mitigation options—with a major focus on the third runway's community impacts—and recommend noise reduction programs funded by federal money. The newsletter also covers the opening of Sound Transit's Link light rail to the airport, completed wetlands restoration projects, and a student internship program.
