TagCitizens Against Sea-Tac Expansion(6)

This document appears to be an organizational roster for CASE (Citizens Against Sea-Tac Expansion), listing officer positions and contact information including a Chair (acting), Vice Chair, Treasurer, Secretary, and members of Technical and Research Committees focused on noise and environmental health concerns. The document references a goal of addressing airport expansion alternatives and includes phone numbers for key members such as Loretta Bower (Treasurer) and Joan Bell (Secretary). It likely dates from the early period of community organizing around Sea-Tac Airport expansion opposition.

This legal brief was filed by Citizens Against Sea-Tac Expansion before the Washington Supreme Court, challenging a decision by the Pollution Control Hearings Board regarding the expansion of Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. The group argues that state regulators improperly allowed the Port of Seattle to rely on future, unwritten stormwater permits as proof that airport runoff would meet water quality standards, and that regulators wrongly pre-authorized pollution mixing zones in nearby waterways without sufficient oversight. The case centers on whether proper environmental protections were in place before approving the airport expansion project.

In a May 2019 email to Sharyn Parker, Debi Wagner outlines her extensive advocacy history related to Sea-Tac Airport and aviation environmental issues, including serving on the Burien Airport Advisory Committee, co-founding US Citizens Aviation Watch in 1998, and co-authoring Burien Resolution 375 in 2015. Her experience spans noise, air quality, and climate change concerns, with roles on the Port of Seattle Energy and Sustainability Committee and the UW Ultrafine Advisory Panel. Handwritten notes on the document also reference Resolution #408 for the Burien Airport Committee in 2019 and membership in the Clean Air Network, a regional group of air quality experts and educators.

This document is a Declaration by attorney Gillis E. Reavis filed in the Supreme Court of Washington in a case where the Port of Seattle challenged the Pollution Control Hearings Board, Airport Communities Coalition, and Citizens Against SeaTac Expansion. The declaration opposes a motion for injunctive relief and attaches excerpts from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' Record of Decision for a Port of Seattle Section 404 wetlands permit (1996-4-02325), which covers environmental reviews under the Clean Water Act, Endangered Species Act, and other federal statutes related to airport expansion. The underlying dispute centers on regulatory approvals for Sea-Tac Airport development and its environmental impacts on surrounding communities.
