    EXH AR022233: Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan — STIA

    This Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP), prepared by the Port of Seattle for Seattle-Tacoma International Airport in November 1998 (with revisions through December 2001), outlines strategies and best management practices (BMPs) to prevent pollutants from contaminating stormwater runoff at Sea-Tac Airport. The plan covers a range of potential pollution sources including aircraft servicing, deicing operations, spills, construction sites, and vehicle maintenance, and describes the airport's drainage systems and inspection requirements under its NPDES permit. It serves as a regulatory compliance document ensuring that airport operations minimize their impact on local water quality.

    EXH 427: Annual Stormwater Monitoring Report STIA Jun 1 1997–Jun 30 1998

    This November 1998 report presents the Annual Stormwater Monitoring Report for Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, covering the period from June 1, 1997 through June 30, 1998, prepared by the Port of Seattle. It documents stormwater sampling results from various airport subbasins, including measurements of pollutants such as metals, oils, grease, fecal coliforms, and deicing chemicals. The report also evaluates the performance of Best Management Practices (BMPs) implemented across the airport to manage and reduce stormwater contamination.

    EXH AR024767: Water Quality Talking Points — Copper, Third Runway 401 Certification

    A 1998 fax from Parametrix, Inc. to the Port of Seattle discusses water quality concerns related to copper in stormwater runoff at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. The document outlines that while standard Best Management Practices (BMPs) can remove most metals from stormwater, copper remains a persistent challenge due to its widespread presence from sources like automobile brakes and rooftops. It raises questions about compliance requirements, the cost of installing sand or compost filters (potentially up to $100 million), and how the Port and Washington State Department of Ecology can reach a workable agreement on stormwater discharge standards.

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.

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.
