    EXH 376: Decl. Dr. John Strand Support ACC Motion for Stay PCHB No. 01-133

    Dr. John Strand, a fisheries biologist with over 25 years of experience, submitted this declaration in support of the Airport Communities Coalition's legal challenge to Washington State's water quality certification for Sea-Tac Airport's third runway expansion. Drawing on his own water quality sampling of Miller and Des Moines Creeks in 2000, Dr. Strand argues that the certification fails to adequately protect sensitive local waterways from stormwater runoff containing heavy metals, petroleum hydrocarbons, and other contaminants. He urges the Pollution Control Hearings Board to stay the certification until Clean Water Act compliance questions are fully resolved.

    EXH 383: Third Runway EIS Photographs (AR 021694–021696)

    These three pages (AR 021694–021696) are black-and-white photographic exhibits entered into the administrative record as Exhibit No. 383 on February 18, 2002, in the Bailey proceeding before M. Green. The images, originally digital JPEG files at 1360×1020 resolution, appear to depict aerial or close-up views of terrain or surface conditions, likely submitted as visual evidence related to noise-impact or environmental conditions at or near Sea-Tac Airport. The poor reproduction quality of the scanned photos makes specific details difficult to discern.

    EXH AR021317: Supplement Feb 16 2002 — Docs Relied Upon by John A. Strand PhD STIA Master Plan Update EIS Evaluation

    This February 2002 supplement lists the technical documents relied upon by environmental scientist John A. Strand, Ph.D., when assessing the potential environmental impacts of proposed improvements outlined in Seattle-Tacoma International Airport's Master Plan Update. The documents primarily consist of laboratory analysis letters from Columbia Analytical Services and Analytical Resources, Inc., covering water quality sampling results collected between 2000 and 2002. An email regarding turbidity measurements in Des Moines Creek is also included, suggesting a focus on water quality impacts near the airport.

    EXH AR021078: Documents Relied On by Greg Wingard

    This document is a list of environmental and regulatory records relied upon by Greg Wingard, covering Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (Sea-Tac) operations from the 1980s through 2002. It includes NPDES discharge monitoring reports, stormwater management plans, groundwater contamination assessments, and industrial wastewater treatment evaluations involving the Port of Seattle (POS) and various airline tenants such as Alaska Airlines and Northwest Airlines. The records primarily address water quality, stormwater runoff, fuel spills, and environmental compliance at the airport.

    EXH AR026598: Email Chain — Low Flow/Resource Needs, Ecology Water Quality Program STIA Third Runway

    In February 2002, Washington State Department of Ecology staff exchanged emails about resource constraints in reviewing the Port of Seattle's Low Streamflow Report related to Sea-Tac Airport's Third Runway project. Water Quality section chief Kevin Fitzpatrick warned that his team's resources were stretched to a breaking point and that senior staff could no longer participate in low flow analysis, leaving Ed Abbasi and John Drabek as primary contacts. Senior Regional Planner Ann Kenny explored options to offset costs, including billing staff time to an Interlocal Agreement with the Port and potentially contracting with the EPA for technical assistance.

Issues

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.
