    Aerial View of Sea-Tac Airport Looking North Toward Puget Sound

    Aerial photograph looking northward over Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, showing the parallel runway complex, terminal and cargo areas on the west side, a large airport parking lot in the foreground, Interstate 5 running across the middle ground, and Puget Sound visible in the background. The image appears to date from the 1990s based on infrastructure and vehicle styles, and is consistent with noise-policy documentation of the airport's runway layout and surrounding land use.

As the source for federal transportation grants, the Puget Sound Regional Council was charged with developing a system to meet the growing need for commercial aviation. When the search for a second airport failed, they authorized the Port of Seattle to build the Third Runway, with a mandate to develop a noise abatement and mitigation program. In their effort to stop the Third Runway, the ACC argued over every detail of the Port's efforts--including property buyouts and sound insulation. The dispute was meant to be settled by a three member Expert Arbitration Panel. This is their final report. It finds 2-1, that the Port's program was insufficient in several respects. Despite that, funding for the Third Runway was approved by the PSRC, and the 'Port Package' program, proceeded largely unchanged. Expert Arbitration Panel's final decision finding that the Port of Seattle had not shown sufficient reduction in real on-the-ground noise impacts to satisfy noise reduction conditions required for approval of a third runway at Sea-Tac International Airport. The majority decision concluded the Port's noise abatement programs were insufficient despite being impressive in scope.
