Notes
Third declaration of William A. Rozeboom, PE, senior engineer at Northwest Hydraulic Consultants, filed with the Pollution Control Hearings Board (PCHB) in Case No. 01-160, Airport Communities Coalition (ACC) v. State of Washington Department of Ecology and Port Of Seattle. Rozeboom identifies technical deficiencies in the Port Of Seattle’s low flow mitigation analysis for the proposed third runway at Sea-Tac Airport under Section 401 Certification No. 1996-4-02325. Declares that low flow impacts are underestimated, storage vaults for low flow augmentation water are undersized (24 acre-feet total required, equivalent to more than seven Olympic-size swimming pools), and rebuts unsupported statements in the third declaration of Paul Fendt. Attaches November 26, 2001 comment letter (Exhibit A) to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers regarding Port of Seattle low flow mitigation. References independent corroborating reviews by King County and Pacific Groundwater Group under contract to Ecology. CZMA concurrency statement, stormwater management plans, natural resources mitigation plans also discussed.
