Notes
Scoping comments submitted by the Regional Commission on Airport Affairs (RCAA) dated 20 February 2010 regarding the pending Part 150 noise study at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, with Landrum & Brown serving as lead consultants under a 6 November 2009 services agreement with Port Of Seattle. RCAA argues the study scope is too narrow and community participation opportunities are inadequate under governing FAA regulations. Comments address editorial standards including topical indexing, document format (8.5×11, no fold-outs), citation adequacy, authorship transparency, accuracy, use of real numbers vs. percentages, and comment period timing. References DNL noise contours, prior 1998 Part 150 study, Master Plan EIS, Technical Review Committee meeting of 19 January 2010, and public workshop of 24 February 2010.
