  • Program Area Boundaries/Noise Remedy Update Summary And Staff Recommendations

    The purpose of this report is to summarize the steps that have been taken in updating the program area boundaries for the Noise Remedy Program. This report also specifies the staff boundary recommendation which has been developed in light of all advise and information available. Noise Remedy Update The Sea-Tac Communities Plan was adopted in 1975/76 by the Port of Seattle and King County. This plan recommended program area boundaries based on the techni- cal noise information available at that time. Since that time new noise impact technology has been developed and the noise environment around Sea-Tac has changed • Due to these changes, the current update of the Noise Remedy Plan entails a review and adjustment of the boundaries for the three program areas: 1. Acquisition 2. Neighborhood reinforcement (purchase assurance) 3. Cost-sharing insulation The review and adjustment of boundaries has generally taken place in three unscheduled phases. First, the consultant (Peat Marwick & Mitchell/PMM) hired to assist Port staff with the update made an initial boundary recommendation based on noise criteria and a set application of that criteria. Subsequently, a group of citizens (a subcommittee to the Technical Working Committee) reviewed the boundaries suggested by PMM and recommended several changes based on cri- teria other than strictly noise criteria. The third phase of review is that of the staff working with the consultant and FAA staff. Taking the PMM & sub- committee's advise, the staff in turn prepared a boundary recommendation that is primarily based on noise and…

    Asbestos Research – Sunset Jr. High School

HIGH U INfORMATIONAL have researched our asbestos program files seeking references to the former Sunset Jr. High. The following are the only references found. January 27, 1977 -Memo- Blaine Larsen to Dave Zeigler "Sumnary of Locations With Asbestos Ceilings" 8. Sunset Jr. High A. All Classroom Areas B. Shop Building--all areas (Note: The title would more accurately read "Surrmary of Locations With Friable ) Ceilings" because the district had not begun to sarrple or test for asbestos content. January 5, 1979 - Memo - Blaine Larsen This memo indicates that all sites with friable materials are being tested except Mt. Rainier and Sunset. August 8, 1979 - Seattle Times article quoting Bob Sealey to the effect that Sunset will be checked. The record indicates an early identification that there was friable material on the ceiling at Sunset. It is also apparent that no samples were taken or tested for asbestos content. The following chronology for the closure and disposition of Sunset may explain the circumstances. June 1973 July 1975 Fall 1976 January 1977 December 1977 January 1979 District files airport noise impact suit against Port of Seattle. - Sunset closed as a school. - Voluntary asbestos inspections begun. - Memo listing locations with friable material (Sunset included) - Settlement of noise suit. As a condition of the settlement the Port off Seattle acquired the Sunset site. Title was transferred upon receipt…

    Airport Noise Remedy· Update--Henr~ M. Jackson International Airport Community Attitude Surveys The Community Attitude Survey has · been completed. It consisted of three separate surveys: a self-administered survey of August Neighborhood Workshop attendees and two telephone surveys. The complete results are presented in a final report which was prepared by McClure Research Company. A summary of the survey results was distributed to all those on the Update's mailing list which includes all members of the Technical Working Committee. For those who requested a final report at the October 26, 1983 Technical Workings Committee meeting, a copy is enclosed. If other Committee members would like a copy of the report, please call me at 382-3327 to make arrangements for mailing. These results will be used in the update of the Airport's Noise Remedy Program in a number of ways which will include but not be limited to the following: *Evaluate the application of specific noise remedies in specific neighborhoods. *Increase the reliability of recommending a noise remedy program which is generally accepted by the community. *Improve the effectiveness of our community involvement program. *Reflect community attitudes in the development of the Noise Remedy Program. 2696p Attachment Distribution: Technical Working Committee: Berwald, Black, Bohrer, Bray, Carver, Conradi, Dana, Dinwiddie, Dodds, Hall, Hamilton, Holstine, Hroner, Jhaveri, Johnson, Kos, Kumasaka, D.
