The program, initially approved by the FAA in November 2006 and updated in September 2012, outlines policies and procedures covering homeowner eligibility, design assessments, construction processes, and post-construction inspections. Funding for sound insulation treatments is provided through the program, with the goal of measurably reducing interior noise levels for qualifying residences within the defined noise mitigation boundary. -
2009-07-01Washington Aviation System Plan, Chapter 9: Alternate Airports Assessment
A 2009 Washington State aviation planning study assessed which existing airports could absorb overflow demand from airports projected to hit capacity limits by 2030, with Sea-Tac International among those forecast to exceed both airfield operations and passenger terminal capacity. The analysis evaluated potential alternate airports within roughly 60 miles of Sea-Tac based on factors such as available capacity, runway length, and highway access, while noting that free-market decisions by airlines and passengers would ultimately determine how traffic is distributed. The study was intended as a first-level screening, with more detailed environmental and operational analyses expected before any formal relief airport designations could be made.
