Seattle-Tacoma International Airport Part 150 noise compatibility study final: Chapter one – inventory
★
This document is Chapter One of the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (Sea-Tac) Part 150 Noise Compatibility Study, finalized in October 2013. It provides an overview of the airport's size, ownership by the Port of Seattle, and its role as the Pacific Northwest's primary commercial hub, while explaining the federal regulations (14 CFR Part 150) that guide airport noise compatibility planning. The study was undertaken to update a 2002 noise plan, accounting for major changes such as the opening of a third parallel runway in 2008, with the goal of reducing noise impacts on surrounding communities. -

Port Of Seattle Commission memorandum – Airport Sustainability Master Plan
★
In September 2012, the Port of Seattle Commission considered a $6 million request to create a new Sustainability Master Plan (SMP) for Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, replacing an outdated 15-year-old plan. The update was driven by nearly 50% passenger growth since the last plan, rising capacity pressures on roadways, terminals, and taxiways, and the need to meet FAA requirements for federal grants and environmental permits. The SMP aimed to guide long-term airport development through 2015, balancing future growth with sustainability goals within the airport's existing footprint. -

Aircraft impacts on local and regional air quality in the United States
★
This 2009 research report examines how aircraft emissions affect local and regional air quality across the United States, including public health impacts near major airports. It analyzes baseline emissions inventories, the relationship between airport delays and increased fuel burn and pollution, and evaluates strategies such as continuous descent arrivals and schedule de-peaking to reduce emissions. The findings are intended to inform aviation environmental policy and air traffic efficiency improvements. -

Aviation Mitigation Zones – HB 2276 Striking Amendment (H-3175.2/03)
★
A 2003 Washington State legislative memorandum outlines a proposed striking amendment to HB 2276, which would establish Aviation Mitigation Zones (AMZs) around large regional airports like Seattle-Tacoma International Airport to address noise impacts on nearby communities. The amendment would require the Port of Seattle to levy $10 million annually from 2004 to 2007 into a dedicated mitigation fund, with spending restricted to affected areas within the AMZ. An advisory board and competitive grant process would be created to help distribute funds to eligible local governments, schools, and nonprofits in impacted neighborhoods such as Burien, Des Moines, Tukwila, and Normandy Park.
