In September 2001, attorneys for the Port of Seattle filed an appeal of Water Quality Certification #1996-4-02325, issued by the Washington State Department of Ecology for improvements at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, including construction of a third runway. Simultaneously, the Port and the Department of Ecology filed a Stipulated Agreement and Agreed Order of Dismissal, resolving the Port's appeal by agreeing to amend the water quality certification.
