PCHB Doc AR003205: Port Of Seattle Reply Memorandum Supporting Motion for Partial Summary Judgment on SEPA Issue — ACC v. Ecology and Port Of Seattle, PCHB Case No. 01-160

Notes

Port Of Seattle’s reply memorandum supporting its motion for partial summary judgment on Issue No. 14 (‘Did Ecology and the Port comply with SEPA?’) in PCHB Case No. 01-160, Airport Communities Coalition (ACC) and Citizens Against Sea-Tac Expansion (CASE) v. Department of Ecology and Port Of Seattle. Argues the Pollution Control Hearings Board (PCHB) lacks jurisdiction over administrative SEPA appeals of Port or Ecology actions; that Port’s Hearing Examiner, King County Superior Court, and Washington Court of Appeals upheld the FEIS and SEIS as legally adequate; that the Port’s August 13, 2001 formal decision requiring no further supplemental EIS was final and uncontested; and that FAA’s August 8, 2001 order under 49 U.S.C. § 46110 finding no supplemental EIS required for the Sea-Tac Airport Master Plan Update (including third runway) is final and unappealable. Cites Washington Coastal Zone Management Program, Port Resolution 3211, NEPA reevaluation, and Moss v. Bellingham, 109 Wn. App. 6 (2001). Filed by Foster Pepper & Shefelman PLLC on behalf of Port Of Seattle.
