Leigh-Fisher Sea-Tac Airport Air Quality Criteria Pollutant Emissions Inventory Task 2.8
Discussion
EDMS was used to estimate emissions from non‐road mobile sources, such as, aircraft engines, auxiliary power units, ground support equipment, ground access vehicles, training fires, and stationary sources, such as generators, commercial kitchens, cooling towers, boilers, and bulk liquid storage tanks. For this evaluation, detailed airport activity characteristics were collected to model each of these sources. Relative to what is typically the dominant airport source (aircraft), data was collected and incorporated into EDMS details on types of aircraft, engine combinations, number of landing and takeoffs (LTOs), and the operating time in each of the LTOs modes (takeoff, climbout, taxi-idle, startup, and approach). The purpose of this paper is to supplement the Protocol document that was prepared before the analysis was initiated, but documenting the assumptions that produced the results to be used as the existing conditions in the SAMP.
McClure Community Attitude Survey (Noise Remedies for the Airport Community) 1983-10
Discussion
D. Awareness of Airport Noise Remedy Update Program 45 APPENDIX I. I. • INTRODUCTION A. Purpose of Study The Port of Seattle is currently in the process of updating the 1976 Noise Remedy Plan for the Airport Community. Final recommendations concerning appropriate noise remedies that can be applied within the community will take into consideration at least three parameters: o cost feasibility and effectiveness of program options o implementation feasibility o the community's views and concerns The third parameter -- the community's perspective-- has been actively explored through the Community Involvement Program component of the Update process, including a series of Port- sponsored neighborhood workshops, regular meetings of a Technical Advisory Working Committee, and a series of surveys in the community. This report covers the findings of the community surveys, which will be used as a guideline to determine: o suitability and acceptability of various noise remedy programs in the community (in particular: purchase guarantee, cost sharing of noise insulation, direct purchase of homeowners' avigation easements) o likely participrtion rates for each program option, in order to project the financial feasibility of various combinations of programs. o probable rate of participation in a purchase guarantee program in terms of time to help establish an overall program schedule o level of the Port's financial participation in program options. The issues relevant to providing this input to the Port's planning were divided into two general categories and covered in two separate random sample surveys: o Overall noise management issues, such as residential…

MOA – Air Quality Monitoring at Sea-Tac Vicinity, October 15, 1996
Discussion
. €. c s '-J €. 0 MEMORANDUM OF AGREEJ.IIENT R . oCI ~ d~~r;Eti MONITORING PROGRAM ACTIVITIES RELATING TO THE . . · oL p..Gt~ATTLE-TACOMA INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT VICINITY ~0~-- cotf ~ Introduction For a number ·of years, residents in the vicinity of Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (Sea-Tac) have expressed concerns over air pollution . . Several studies and small-scale air pollutant sampling programs have been conducted by the Port of Seattle (Port), the State Department of Ecology (Ecology) and the Puget Sound Air Pollution Control Agency (PSAPCA). Because of ongoing concerns about air quality in the vicinity of Sea-Tac, the undersigned agencies have agreed to work together to gather additional air quality baseline data. In April 1995, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the Port issued a joint Draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the proposed Master Plan Update Improvements at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. In February, 1996 the FAA and Port issued the Final EIS, which incorporated a draft air quality conformity determination. These environmental documents address, among other issues, potential air quality impacts associated with various Master Plan Update improvement projects (facility developments and operational changes) to be phased-in between 1996 and 2020 as part of the long-range airport vision (Exhibit A, attached to this agreement). The Final EIS considered the available Sea-Tac air quality information from previous studies, updated the baseline and projection year emission . inventories for five "criteria" pollutants of concern, performed area-wide dispersion screening modeling for volatile organic. compounds (VOC) _ and oxides of nitrogen…

We applied the Community Multiscale Air Quality model using the Decoupled Direct Method to isolate PM2.5- or O3-related contributions from precursor pollutants emitted by 66 individual airports. We linked airport- and pollutant-specific concentrations with population data and literature-based concentration-response functions to create health damage functions. Deaths per 1000 t of primary PM2.5 emissions ranged from 3 to 160 across airports, with variability explained by population patterns within 500…
Neighborhood Impact Matrices of proposed Third Runway Raytheon-Thomas/Lane (1996)
Discussion
The assessment and evaluation of the proposed project's impacts were based on "neighborhoods" as defined by the cities of Burien, Des Moines, Federal Way, Normandy Park, and Tukwila. For the Highline School District, each area served by each elementary, middle and high school were assessed. Each neighborhood matrix presents environmental, transportation, and socio-economic impacts. Each matrix is divided into the following columns: • Measure • Impact • Mitigation • Cost The type of impact being assessed. For example, aircraft noise (DNL and SEL). cultural resources, local streets, and public safety are just a few of the measures being considered. The quantifiable effect experienced in each neighborhood. For example, if one-third or more of a neighborhood is within a particular noise contour, the whole neighborhood is considered to be impacted by that contour. The action necessary to address the specific impact. For example, buying out and redeveloping a neighborhood is one form of mitigation. The estimated cost of implementing each specific mitigation action. NEIGHBORHOOD Et~~ v IRONMENTAL IMPACTS MEASURE !

Thlough an Interlocal Agreement, the City ofSeaTac and Port of Seattle are required D complete a Joint Transportation Study. The Study recognizes that passen- ger traffic at the Airport affects local traffic within the CiV Likewise, aMc withinthe City influences the e£fectiveness o£people movingto and fromt:he Airport. This Study will provide a'uni6ed analysis of the ground transportation needs of the area, as well as recommend& tions on the best way n meet those needs. ' The Study has two parts: City ofSeaTac’s Comprehensive Transportation Plan Update Seattle-Tacoma International Airport’s Ground Access Facility Plan Update + + Study Issues Like most urban areas within the State of Washington, the City of SeaTac is expected to experience significant growth in the future. This Study allows the City and the Port to create a comprehensive transportation plan to address impacts of this growth. The Study will outline a plan of action that accommodates transport& tion needs between now and 2020. Some of the Study topics include: + Passenger and Population Growth As the population of the area increases, the City of SeaTac needs to be able to accommodate the number of peopie using its streets. The City must develop a transponat:ion plan that allows for this growth, and that complies with the requirements of the Growth Man- agement: Act. Likewise, the Port of Seattle must develop a transportation plan that supports the Airport Master Plan Update and its activity forecasts. + Parking The SeaTac area has major parking needs.
