This December 1992 catalog from R.C.A.A. (Residents for Conscious Airport Activity) lists research papers, critiques, and white papers organized by topic—including airport planning, demand and capacity, economics, health, environmental impacts, and noise—all relating to Sea-Tac International Airport expansion. Key concerns addressed include aircraft noise measurement and the adequacy of the 65 Ldn noise metric, air and water pollution from airport expansion, and the evaluation of alternative airport sites. The catalog reflects community and expert opposition to Sea-Tac's third runway proposal and broader regional airport policy decisions in the Puget Sound area.Open full document
