Notes
Letter and proposal from Dyanne Sheldon, Principal of Sheldon & Associates, Inc. (Seattle, WA), addressed to Erik Stockdale at Washington State Department of Ecology, dated November 21, 2000, submitting a proposal to review the Natural Resource Mitigation Plan (NRMP) for the Sea-Tac Third Runway. The letter discusses cost estimate exceeding the provided $18,000 budget, justifying expert witness-level hourly rates given the project’s political intensity and scrutiny. The proposal includes qualifications covering wetland ecology, Pacific Northwest wetlands natural history, stormwater engineering linkages, Bear Creek UPDs in King County, Wetland Functional Assessment Technical Advisory Committee work for Ecology (1998-99), and Growth Management Act sensitive areas planning. References Broadmoor Golf course Lake Washington pedestrian/bicycle pathway environmental assessment as example of scientific objectivity under political pressure.
