Resume of Paul S. Fendt, P.E. (Parametrix), dated October 26, 2000, detailing over 16 years of stormwater engineering and planning experience. Projects include Valley Creek Estuary Restoration (Port of Port Angeles, WA), Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plans (SWPPP) for Potlatch Corporation (Lewiston, ID) and Port of Vancouver (Columbia River, WA), stormwater treatment system design for Port of Seattle (SeaTac, WA), Dredge Island Stormwater Sampling Program (Lavaca Bay Superfund Site, Point Comfort, TX), Sammamish River Habitat Improvements (City of Redmond, WA), Strandley Environmental Services PCB cleanup (Seattle City Light, Purdy, WA), South Prairie Creek HEC-2 flood study (Pierce County, WA), Kalauao Stream Flood Study (Department of the Navy, Oahu, HI), and Clover Island Redevelopment Stormwater Management Plan (Port of Kennewick, WA). Hydrologic and hydraulic modeling tools include HEC-1, HEC-2, WaterWorks, HSPF, SEDIMOT II, and NPDES stormwater permits. AR034940.

Sidebar On/Off

As the source for federal transportation grants, the Puget Sound Regional Council was charged with developing a system to meet the growing need for commercial aviation. When the search for a second airport failed, they authorized the Port of Seattle to build the Third Runway, with a mandate to develop a noise abatement and mitigation program. In their effort to stop the Third Runway, the ACC argued over every detail of the Port's efforts--including property buyouts and sound insulation. The dispute was meant to be settled by a three member Expert Arbitration Panel. This is their final report. It finds 2-1, that the Port's program was insufficient in several respects. Despite that, funding for the Third Runway was approved by the PSRC, and the 'Port Package' program, proceeded largely unchanged. Expert Arbitration Panel's final decision finding that the Port of Seattle had not shown sufficient reduction in real on-the-ground noise impacts to satisfy noise reduction conditions required for approval of a third runway at Sea-Tac International Airport. The majority decision concluded the Port's noise abatement programs were insufficient despite being impressive in scope.
