This community newsletter from the RCAA (Residents for a Cleaner Airport Area) outlines how Highline-area communities near Seattle's Sea-Tac Airport have held the Port of Seattle accountable for noise, water pollution, and runaway construction costs on a proposed third runway. Key victories include a $150 million noise-mitigation settlement for Highline schools, a court-ordered halt to third-runway construction due to unmet environmental permit requirements, and improved water quality in local streams.

2022-09-12Findings of fact, conclusions of law, and order: Port Of Seattle v. State of Washington, Department of Ecology
In 2003, Washington State's Department of Ecology issued a water pollution permit (NPDES No. 002465-1) for Sea-Tac International Airport, which was then challenged by multiple parties including the Port of Seattle and several community groups. The appeals, heard in July 2004, centered largely on concerns about aircraft deicing and anti-icing chemicals being discharged into Puget Sound and nearby waterways, where they can deplete dissolved oxygen levels critical to aquatic life. The Pollution Control Hearings Board reviewed the permit's terms and conditions to determine whether adequate environmental protections were in place.
