In this legal declaration, ecologist James C. Kelley, Ph.D., testifies about the environmental impact of Seattle-Tacoma International Airport's Master Plan Update, which permanently fills 18.37 acres of wetland. He describes a comprehensive mitigation plan designed to replace lost ecological functions in the Miller, Walker, and Des Moines Creek basins. Kelley also notes that the affected wetlands and streams were already significantly degraded by decades of logging, farming, and urban development before the airport expansion.

Joseph Brascher, a hydrologic modeling expert at Aqua Terra Consultants, submitted this declaration in a 2001 Washington State Pollution Control Hearings Board case involving the Port of Seattle's Master Plan Update for Sea-Tac International Airport.
