    Highline School District Agreement to Join Airport Communities Coalition (ACC)

    This 1997 intergovernmental agreement, signed by the Highline School District and several cities in the Sea-Tac Airport vicinity — including Des Moines, Normandy Park, Burien, Federal Way, and Tukwila — establishes a coordinated framework for addressing airport noise impacts and related funding for schools. The agreement supersedes earlier agreements from February 1992 and June 1996 between the same parties. It outlines provisions for settlement authority, dispute resolution, and the role of the Airport Communities Coalition (ACC) Executive Committee in approving any claims or compromises.

    Exhibit 208: Port Of Seattle Section 404 Application Letter — Third Runway Master Plan Update Wetland Fill, Sea-Tac Airport

    In December 1996, the Port of Seattle submitted a Section 404 permit application to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to place fill material into wetlands at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport as part of its Master Plan Update, which included construction of a third parallel runway. The proposed runway, located 2,500 feet west of the existing runways, was intended to address severe arrival delays during poor weather conditions, which reduced airport capacity from 60 to as few as 24 arrivals per hour roughly 44% of the year. The application was the result of nearly a decade of regional planning, environmental review, and public involvement, including studies confirming that no feasible supplemental airport sites existed in the four-county region.

    EXH AR026790: NPDES Permit WA-002465-1 Modification Response to Comments

    This 1996 document summarizes public responses to a proposed modification of the water discharge permit (NPDES Permit No. WA-002465-1) for Sea-Tac International Airport, operated by the Port of Seattle. It addresses concerns raised at a June 1996 public hearing in Burien, WA, including questions about self-monitoring of water samples, erosion and water flow in Miller Creek, and the Department of Ecology's enforcement and fining process. The document outlines how Ecology responded to community concerns and describes permit changes, such as a new condition requiring the Port to assess the airport's impact on local creek hydrology.

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.
