    Resolution No. 2943 – Updated Noise Remedy Program

    ★ 32
    Resolution No. 2943 was adopted by the Port Commission of the Port of Seattle to update the Noise Remedy Program for Sea-Tac International Airport, replacing the earlier noise remedy element from the 1976 Sea-Tac Communities Plan. The resolution authorizes property acquisition in high-noise areas, implementation of nine noise abatement measures, and a Demonstration Project (budgeted at up to $1 million) to test alternatives to acquisition such as noise insulation and transaction assistance for affected homeowners. Priority for remedies is given based on noise intensity, length of residency, and financial hardship, with annual progress reports required to guide ongoing program evaluation.

    Airport land use compatibility: Incompatible and compatible land uses and types of appropriate action

    This document outlines federal guidelines for managing land use around airports to minimize noise and safety conflicts. It distinguishes between incompatible land uses near airports—such as residential development, schools, hospitals, and churches—and compatible ones like agriculture, parks, and parking facilities. It also describes appropriate actions airport sponsors can take, including developing off-airport land use plans, enacting zoning ordinances, and working with local and regional authorities to restrict development in affected areas.

    Sea-Tac Communities Plan: Airport Vicinity Area and Planning Jurisdictional Area (Section 3.2.1)

    This document describes the planning study area surrounding Seattle-Tacoma (Sea-Tac) Airport, which encompassed the entire Highline School District and portions of the Federal Way and South Central School Districts. The study identified four sub-areas forming an 'airport vicinity' zone — defined as the area of primary airport-community incompatibility — to guide policy and land-use planning. King County holds major planning responsibility for the broader sub-regional area, with the Sea-Tac Communities Plan intended to integrate with the wider Highline Community Plan through post-plan coordination.

    NEPA Determination, Simple Categorical Exclusion for the Industrial Wastewater Treatment Plan Expansion Project at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport

    The FAA has determined that Seattle-Tacoma International Airport's proposed expansion of its Industrial Wastewater Treatment Plant (IWTP) qualifies for a Simple Categorical Exclusion under the National Environmental Policy Act, meaning the project is not expected to have a significant impact on the environment. The project includes upgrades to the existing treatment plant infrastructure, construction of an aerated gravel bed, and updates to the adjacent Lagoon 3 site. This determination, issued November 14, 2025, clears the way for the required Airport Layout Plan update without the need for further environmental review.

    Port of Seattle Order No. 2024-12 – North SeaTac Park for Recreational Use

    The Port of Seattle Commission issued Order No. 2024-12 in October 2024, directing its Executive Director to take the steps necessary under Section 706 of the 2024 FAA Reauthorization Act to permanently designate the 55-acre North SeaTac Park for recreational and public park use. The order requires the development of legally binding frameworks, a preferred protection methodology reported to the Commission by Q2 2025, and at least $150,000 in the 2025 budget for park improvements in partnership with the City of SeaTac. This action aims to ensure the park remains a permanent community and ecological asset, shielded from future aeronautical or commercial redevelopment.

Sea-Tac Airport is currently undergoing the largest and longest expansion in its history, collectively known as the Sustainable Airport Master Plan (SAMP). Some of it you can already hear, but you’re probably not aware of what it all means. Here’s what you need to know.

Read This!

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.
