RE: Request for Administrative Order for Lagoon #3 B._pass Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (NPDES Permit WA-002465-1) Dear Mr. Abbasi: Enclosed you will find the request for an administrative order prepared under Special Condition S5.B of the NPDES permit for Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. The Port is currently expanding the capacity of Lagoon #3. The Engineering Report submitted to Ecology in December 1995 described the remediation and expansion of the capacib, of Lagoon #3 as part of"all knov,_a,available and reasonable treatment" (AKART) for the Port's industrial waste treatment.plant. In order to remediate and line the facilib,, it will be necessary to take the existing Lagoon #3 out of service this year from 1April to 31 December. The enclosed plan describes the alternatives considered by the Port and the preferred alternative. With Lagoon #3 offline, the Port must rely on the storage capacity, of Lagoons #1 and #2. The Port v'ill take every, effort to treat all IWS flows between 1 April and 31 December, but there is a possibili_, that some of the flows may have to be released to Des Moines Creek untreated. These would be unavoidable bypasses - necessary,for construction. Because construction is anticipated to start m the near future, we would appreciate your prompt attention to this request. If you have questions regarding this letter, please call Tom Hubbard of my staffat 206/248-7135.
