These three pages from the Washington State Department of Ecology document the delegation of signature authority to staff member Tom Luster, allowing him to issue routine Section 401 water quality certifications, Coastal Zone Management consistency determinations, and related administrative orders. Originally signed by Director Mary Riveland in December 1995, the authority was reaffirmed by Director Tom Fitzsimmons in February 1997. The delegation includes a succession of authority chain to ensure continuity if Luster is absent or leaves his position.

A 1995 Washington Department of Ecology staff discussion paper analyzes regulatory challenges in applying the NPDES permit program to municipal and industrial stormwater discharges, focusing on how to ensure such discharges comply with Clean Water Act water quality standards. The paper explores questions around defining 'Waters of the State,' determining compliance monitoring points, and identifying which permitted dischargers require water-quality-based effluent limitations. Note that this paper does not represent official Ecology policy and was intended to stimulate internal discussion and policy decisions.

A 1995 City of Burien memorandum and accompanying draft strategy paper outline concerns about the negative impacts of constructing a third runway at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport on surrounding communities, including increased noise, traffic, and neighborhood blight. The document warns that heavy truck traffic, expanded air traffic noise 'shadow,' and construction disruption could drive down property values, destabilize local businesses, and accelerate community deterioration. It calls for proactive planning and mitigation efforts, while criticizing the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for inadequately addressing these impacts.

The Airport Communities Coalition, representing the cities of Burien, Des Moines, Normandy Park, and Tukwila, Washington, submitted formal scoping comments to the FAA and Port of Seattle regarding the proper scope of an Environmental Impact Statement for a proposed expansion of Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. The comments address key issues including the purpose and need for the project, the role of Puget Sound Regional Council planning, and the requirement for the FAA to independently fulfill its obligations under the National Environmental Policy Act. The document also calls for the EIS to account for connected and cumulative impacts, including planned land-side facility improvements and the Part 150 Noise Mitigation Program.
