Declaration of Dr. Peter Willing in support of ACC's sur-reply on motion for stay

In this 2001 declaration filed before Washington State's Pollution Control Hearings Board, Dr. Peter Willing challenges the Port of Seattle's commitment to improving stormwater management at Sea-Tac Airport. He argues that the Port's pledge to retrofit its stormwater system 'to the extent practicable' is vague, undefined, and falls short of required water quality standards. Dr. Willing also contends that the four best management practices listed in the Port's Stormwater Master Plan are largely inadequate, as most do not go beyond basic King County water quality requirements.

Dr. Peter Willing submits a declaration in support of the Airport Communities Coalition’s sur-reply on a motion for stay before the Pollution Control Hearings Board. The declaration challenges the Port of Seattle’s commitment to retrofitting the existing stormwater system at Sea-Tac Airport for water quality best management practices ‘to the extent practicable,’ arguing the standard is undefined and insufficient. Willing contends that the four BMPs listed in the Stormwater Master Plan do not go beyond the King County Basic Water Quality Menu and do not provide reasonable assurance that water quality standards will be met.
