A 2001 internal memo from Parametrix, Inc. summarizes a conversation with the Washington State Department of Ecology (WADOE) about water toxicity testing procedures. The memo reports that WADOE opposes adjusting lab water hardness to match site water, recommending instead that storm water tests target the hardness of the receiving water body, typically 40–60 mg/L as CaCO₃. It also notes that low water hardness (around 10 mg/L) may cause chronic reproductive effects in certain test organisms but not acute toxicity.

Letter dated March 21, 2001 from Maggie Corbin, Sr. Environmental Program Manager, Port Of Seattle Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, to Ann Kenny at the Washington Department of Ecology Northwest Regional Office, transmitting a synthetic minor permit. Background: Puget Sound Clean Air Agency (PSCAA) issued Order dated September 21, 1999 (Construction No. 7777, Registration No. 21408) limiting

In September 1999, the Puget Sound Clean Air Agency issued an order limiting facility-wide air emissions of sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, and carbon monoxide at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport to less than 99 tons each per any 12-month period. The Port of Seattle is required to monitor fuel usage, calculate monthly emissions using specified factors, and maintain rolling records for at least five years. A March 2001 letter from the Port's Environmental Program Manager confirms emissions were well within limits, with nitrogen oxides typically running 15–17 tons and both carbon monoxide and sulfur dioxide at 10 tons or less over the previous 12-month period.
