1992-04-02Engrossed Substitute House Bill 2609: Air transportation system–runway construction moratorium and studies
Washington State's Engrossed Substitute House Bill 2609, passed in March 1992 and effective April 2, 1992, placed a moratorium on the construction or extension of runways of 1,000 feet or more by cities, counties, or port districts in heavily populated western Washington counties. The bill was designed to allow the state's Air Transportation Commission time to complete a comprehensive statewide air transportation strategy, with an interim report due December 1, 1992, and a final report due December 1, 1994. The legislation aimed to balance regional aviation capacity needs with environmental and growth management policies before any major new runway infrastructure was approved. -

This 1984 Port of Seattle staff report outlines updates to the Sea-Tac Airport Noise Remedy Program, reviewing and adjusting boundaries for three areas: property acquisition, neighborhood reinforcement (purchase assurance), and cost-sharing insulation. The update incorporates revised noise data from 1980 aircraft operations and considers recommendations from a consulting firm (Peat Marwick & Mitchell) and a citizen subcommittee. Staff ultimately recommended boundaries based primarily on noise criteria, with adjustments to account for forecasting uncertainty and long-term program stability over the following fifteen years.
