★This 1978 document outlines the structure and functions of a Policy Advisory Committee (PAC) formed to oversee implementation of the Sea-Tac Airport Communities Plan, including long-term monitoring of airport noise issues and making recommendations to King County and Port of Seattle officials. The 12-member committee draws representatives from King County, local governments, businesses, schools, airlines, and community citizens.

2023-04-24Proposed framework for Airport Citizen Participation Program
This document outlines a proposed framework for an Airport Citizen Participation Program centered on the Noise Remedy Update, which expanded and refined the noise element of the Sea-Tac Communities Plan from 1982 to 1984. It details four key programs — Acquisition, Demonstration, Highline Plan Update, and Noise Abatement — each with specific goals such as relocating 524 residential units, trialing neighborhood reinforcement for 26 homes, and establishing a Joint Committee on Airport Overflights. All programs feed into a public Forum coordinated by the Port of Seattle's Public Information Department, with citizen representatives serving on advisory committees. -
1979-08-06FAA letter to Jongejan Gerrard Associates regarding North Sea-Tac Recreation Planning guidelines
In this August 6, 1979 letter from the FAA's Northwest Region to Jongejan Gerrard Associates, the agency provides guidelines on acceptable crowd density levels for recreation planning near Sea-Tac Airport. The FAA outlines four zones around the runway, each with specific limits on peak-time people per acre, ranging from no intensive use in the clear zone closest to the runway to no more than 40 people per acre in outlying areas. The letter also discourages any recreation development that could create bird hazards, incompatible lighting, or electronic interference with airport operations.
