This 1988 Federal Aviation Administration report outlines the Airport Capacity Enhancement Plan, which aimed to increase airport capacity and efficiency across the U.S. air system without compromising passenger safety or environmental impact. It identifies causes of capacity and delay problems, forecasts the effects of growing air traffic over the following decade, and describes FAA projects targeting four key areas: airport development, airspace control procedures, equipment and systems upgrades, and capacity planning studies. Note that while this document addresses national airport capacity issues broadly, it does not specifically focus on Sea-Tac Airport noise policy.

This 1986 Federal Aviation Administration report outlines the Airport Capacity Enhancement Plan, which identifies 53 planned and ongoing FAA projects aimed at reducing aircraft operating delays and improving airport capacity across the U.S. national airport system. The plan examines the causes and projected growth of capacity and delay problems over the following decade while ensuring no compromises to safety or the environment. Note that this document addresses national airport capacity issues broadly and does not specifically focus on noise policy at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport.

Internal memo from Highline Public Schools documenting the history of asbestos identification at the former Sunset Jr. High School, including friable ceiling materials in classrooms and shop buildings. The document outlines the chronology from 1973-1979 showing that while friable materials were identified, no samples were tested for asbestos content before the school was transferred to

This FAA Advisory Circular (AC 150/5060-5), issued September 23, 1983, provides procedures for computing airport capacity and aircraft delay for use in airport planning and design. It defines capacity as the maximum number of operations that can occur in an hour, and delay as the time difference between a constrained and unconstrained aircraft operation. The document updates and replaces earlier FAA capacity criteria circulars to reflect changes in the national aircraft fleet and improvements in air traffic control practices.

In a December 28, 1981 memorandum from Boeing Field/King County International Airport, Airport Manager Donald W. Smith responds to a Port of Seattle representative regarding the forecasting methodology for aviation demands at BFI. Smith confirms that the proposed approach is consistent with prior discussions and historical statistics, and acknowledges that, given limited current information and resources, the methods and sources used are acceptable.

Federal Aviation Administration final rule implementing DOT/FAA policy to guide the future operation and development of Washington National and Dulles International Airports. The rules address aircraft operations, scheduling, passenger limits, noise restrictions, and the perimeter for nonstop service at National Airport.

A January 1981 letter from the Puget Sound Council of Governments invites citizens and agencies to review a draft Regional Airport System Plan covering 1980 to 2000, which outlines existing aviation facilities, projected needs, and recommendations for expanding several airports in the region. The plan also calls for construction of a new industrial/commuter airport in the King-Snohomish service area, though no specific site is identified. Public comments were due before February 27, 1981, with the King Subregional Council expected to vote on adoption in March 1981.

A April 6, 1979 memorandum from George Sutter, Airport Acquisition Manager at the Port of Seattle, notifies the Citizens Advisory Committee for Hardship of a meeting scheduled for April 10, 1979 at 2:00 PM at the Relocation Office. The meeting concerns a hardship application filed by Tom Fest and his family regarding Parcel Z-685. Supporting documentation from Mr. Fest and the Board's recommendation for Parcel Z-296 from the March 20th meeting are included as enclosures.
