This June 2016 document from the Port of Seattle presents a Construction Authorization Request for enhancements to the Auburn Wetland Mitigation Site, a wetland area located south of Seattle near Auburn, Washington. The site, originally constructed in 2006, serves as a mitigation site likely associated with environmental impacts from Sea-Tac Airport operations or related Port of Seattle projects. The request seeks approval to carry out site improvement work at the approximately 80-acre wetland property situated near the Green River.

The Port of Seattle requested $720,000 in Commission authorization to improve the Auburn wetland mitigation site, a nature area created to offset environmental impacts from Sea-Tac Airport's Third Runway construction. The project involves removing roughly 6,171 feet of temporary internal roads, planting approximately 5,000 native trees and shrubs in their place, and installing a new chain-link security fence to stop ongoing trespassing, vandalism, and illegal dumping. These enhancements are required to comply with Clean Water Act permits tied to the 1997 Master Plan Update and are intended to reduce long-term maintenance costs.

In this 2004 declaration filed with the Washington Supreme Court, Robin V. Kordik, a Senior Environmental Program Manager for the Port of Seattle's Aviation Division, describes efforts to identify wetland mitigation sites near Sea-Tac Airport in connection with the airport's Third Runway construction project. A study by environmental firm Parametrix assessed 89 potential mitigation locations but concluded that no suitable new sites were available in the affected sub-basins that met the Pollution Control Hearings Board's criteria for sustainability and public safety. The declaration was submitted in opposition to a motion for injunctive relief brought by the Airport Communities Coalition.
