Notes
Exhibit 204 (AR 018546): Internal email from Tom Luster to himself dated June 7, 2001, documenting a phone conversation with Ann K. (Ecology) regarding Senator Julia Patterson’s letter requesting review of the NPDES permit for Sea-Tac Airport third runway construction. Luster discusses adequacy of construction BMPs for Section 401 certification purposes, noting that the adaptive approach used in NPDES permitting may be insufficient where BMPs have historically resulted in non-compliance with water quality standards. Ecology had informed Port Of Seattle that the next permit cycle would require significant upward revision of requirements. Luster references his January 21, 2001 letter to the Senator and his January deposition on the general stormwater permit appeal. Filed in PCHB third-runway-EIS administrative record.
