    EXH AR024627: Handwritten Notes – Mixing Zones, NPDES, Regulatory Implications, Third Runway EIS

    Handwritten notes outline eight key discussion points related to a mixing zone (MZ) study, including an examination of stream dynamics, regulatory questions about MZ implications under NPDES permitting, and how to weigh evidence for defensibility. The notes raise questions about whether mixing zones are appropriate at all, and whether existing regulations are flexible enough to accommodate site-specific MZ conditions. A final point flags that mixing zones near water quality listing designations will be a particularly difficult policy 'sell.'

    EXH AR024606: Points of Compliance — Mixing Zones & Stormwater Discharges to Surface Waters

    This document outlines regulatory problems and compliance points for stormwater discharges into Washington State surface waters, focusing on where discharges must meet water quality standards. It identifies four key unresolved issues, including the lack of an approved design storm for mixing zones and undefined critical receiving water conditions. Various example situations are provided to help determine the exact location where stormwater discharge compliance must be measured.

    EXH AR024556: Mixing Zone Analysis — 3rd Runway North Discharge Miller Creek (Basin SDW-1)

    This technical document describes a mixing zone analysis for stormwater discharge from the 3rd Runway North at Sea-Tac Airport into Miller Creek, designated as Basin SDW-1. The analysis uses design storm modeling with various rainfall scenarios (2-year/2-hour, 2-year/72-hour, and 3-year/72-hour events) to calculate effluent flow rates for both acute and chronic water quality criteria. Stormwater from the basin's approximately 128 acres of pervious and impervious area is routed through a detention pond before discharge, with outflow rates determined by a storage-discharge rating curve.

    EXH 2072: Fact Sheet NPDES Permit WA-002465-1 STIA

    This document is a fact sheet accompanying an NPDES (National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System) permit issued to the Port of Seattle for Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, governing how the airport manages and discharges treated industrial wastewater and stormwater. It covers discharge locations into Puget Sound, Des Moines Creek, Miller Creek, and the City of SeaTac storm sewer system, and establishes effluent limitations and monitoring requirements. The permit addresses water quality standards, pollution prevention plans, and compliance schedules to protect surrounding waterways from airport-related contaminants.

    EXH AR023831: Ecology Draft Recommendations Low Flow Technical Report & Operation Plan

    This draft document from Washington State's Department of Ecology outlines requirements for a Low Flow Technical Report and a Low Flow Operation Plan related to MPU development activities. The Technical Report must include all calculations, engineering analyses, and hydrological studies needed to address low flow impacts, and must be stamped by a licensed Washington civil engineer. The Operation Plan must detail how stormwater and groundwater will be managed to mitigate those impacts, including maintenance procedures, performance standards, and methods to ensure those standards are met.

Sea-Tac Airport is currently undergoing the largest and longest expansion in its history, collectively known as the Sustainable Airport Master Plan (SAMP). Some of it you can already hear, but you’re probably not aware of what it all means. Here’s what you need to know.

Read This!

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.
