    Holland & Knight EPA Proposes UCMR 6 for PFAS and Other Contaminants, Declines Adding Microplastics

    Sea-Tac Airport sits at the intersection of several PFAS risk factors that make the UCMR 6 proposal especially significant for surrounding communities. Airports are **among the highest-risk PFAS contamination sites** in the country. Sea-Tac has historically used AFFF for fire suppression training and emergency response - AFFF contains high concentrations of PFOS and PFOA, the most well-studied PFAS compounds - These chemicals **migrate readily into groundwater** and do not break down naturally./ - The airport sits on a **glacial outwash plain** with highly permeable soils - This geology **accelerates PFAS movement** into groundwater - Surrounding communities including **Burien, Des Moines, SeaTac city, and Tukwila** draw from regional water systems potentially affected - The **Highline Water District** and other local providers serve these communities

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.
