RE: Remaining Issues, SeaTac Natural Resource Mitigation Plan (and related documents) as of 10-9-00 Here is a status summary of where the Natural Resource Mitigation Plan stands to date. I have outlined 23 items by subject area, some with suggested action items. Please let me know if you think these items need clarification or further detail. 1. Next phase of Ecology review of natural resource mitigation plan. Consistent with my request to SEA management, my involvement in the 3'arunway project is closing. Ecology will shift the cost of the remaining review to the Port. My responsibilities within the section are changing, and we do not have the capacity to transfer the review responsibility to other staff in the section. ,9 • Recommendation: Ecology and Port enter in a 3'dparty agreement to hire an independent wetland consultant to continue review where I leave off. Consultant will report to Tom Luster and respond to his requests for technical consultation. I will be available on a very limited basis during transition. By limited I see it as 1-2 hours a week. Jearmie Summerhays (my section supervisor) is working on the arrangements to make this work. 2. Compliance monitoring will require significant resources. The 34 runway project will continue to demand significant resources from Ecology. Construction drawings will need review and approval. A significant presence will be required on a daily/weekly basis as the natural resource mitigation plan is built Construction timeframe will span 6-8 years or more7 Ecology will receive numerous complaint calls…
