Notes
Public comment letter by a concerned resident living west of Sea-Tac Airport on the SEPA Draft EIS for the Sustainable Airport Master Plan (SAMP). Author S. Jenner argues the EIS should be entirely redone, citing failure to assess cumulative impacts, absence of a full buildout scenario, inconsistent baseline starting points, outdated data (some from 2022 COVID recovery period), no analysis of the International Arrivals Facility, fragmented project-by-project rather than holistic impact assessment, and lack of searchable cross-linked document structure. Criticizes Commissioner Fred Felleman’s characterization of environmental justice and cumulative impacts as ‘small items,’ and calls out Port Of Seattle for omitting human health risks, real costs, and full-buildout projections. References closure of 24th Avenue South, Chapter 5 scope limitations, and bond buyer demand forecasts.
