This plot shows Scanning Mobility Particle Sizer (SMPS) aerosol particle size distribution data (5–382 nm) collected at the 10th & Weller monitoring site, generated on 2025-09-15 at 13:08:09 PST with last UTC data timestamp of 2025-09-15 19:56:31. The contour plot displays log(10) particle counts over local PST time from approximately 13:11 on September 14 through 12:56 on September 15, with brown diamond markers indicating the geometric mean particle diameter over time.

Notes

A scientific chart showing SMPS (Scanning Mobility Particle Sizer) particle bin count measurements and geometric mean data collected at the 10th & Weller monitoring location over a 24-hour period. The contour plot displays particle size distribution data from 5nm to 382nm, with logarithmic color scaling showing particle concentrations from September 15, 2025.

Sidebar On/Off

As the source for federal transportation grants, the Puget Sound Regional Council was charged with developing a system to meet the growing need for commercial aviation. When the search for a second airport failed, they authorized the Port of Seattle to build the Third Runway, with a mandate to develop a noise abatement and mitigation program. In their effort to stop the Third Runway, the ACC argued over every detail of the Port's efforts--including property buyouts and sound insulation. The dispute was meant to be settled by a three member Expert Arbitration Panel. This is their final report. It finds 2-1, that the Port's program was insufficient in several respects. Despite that, funding for the Third Runway was approved by the PSRC, and the 'Port Package' program, proceeded largely unchanged. Expert Arbitration Panel's final decision finding that the Port of Seattle had not shown sufficient reduction in real on-the-ground noise impacts to satisfy noise reduction conditions required for approval of a third runway at Sea-Tac International Airport. The majority decision concluded the Port's noise abatement programs were insufficient despite being impressive in scope.
