A December 2001 technical letter from Northwest Hydraulic Consultants, written on behalf of the Airport Communities Coalition, identifies inconsistencies in the Port of Seattle's stormwater management plans for Sea-Tac Airport expansion. The letter argues that the Port's hydrologic modeling failed to account for the planned commercial redevelopment of borrow pit areas by 2006, and that the Natural Resource Mitigation Plan reverted to an outdated stormwater approach relying on regional detention facilities to be built by others. These gaps, the consultants contend, prevent a full assessment of the airport Master Plan Update's environmental impacts.
