In September 2001, attorneys for the Port of Seattle filed an appeal of Water Quality Certification #1996-4-02325, issued by the Washington State Department of Ecology for improvements at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, including construction of a third runway.

A water resources consultant, writing on behalf of the Airport Communities Coalition, argues that the Port of Seattle's July 2001 Low Flow Analysis for Sea-Tac Airport expansion fails to provide reasonable assurance that the project will meet water quality standards in Miller, Walker, and Des Moines Creeks. The letter criticizes the submission as incomplete and rushed, noting missing figures, unfinished sections, and an unresolved plan to store the required 46 acre-feet of stormwater across the three watersheds. The consultant contends that the Port's proposed water quality protections—including filtration, aeration, and biofiltration swales—are unproven, inadequately designed, and fall short of the regulatory standard required for Section 401/404 permit approval.
