Resolution No. 2943 was adopted by the Port Commission of the Port of Seattle to update the Noise Remedy Program for Sea-Tac International Airport, replacing the earlier noise remedy element from the 1976 Sea-Tac Communities Plan. The resolution authorizes property acquisition in high-noise areas, implementation of nine noise abatement measures, and a Demonstration Project (budgeted at up to $1 million) to test alternatives to acquisition such as noise insulation and transaction assistance for affected homeowners. Priority for remedies is given based on noise intensity, length of residency, and financial hardship, with annual progress reports required to guide ongoing program evaluation.Open full document
