2019-10-18Detailed Responses to City of Burien Questions
The Port of Seattle responds to questions from the City of Burien about aircraft noise studies, noise abatement procedures, and community mitigation programs at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. The Port clarifies that its 2014 Part 150 noise study covered all three runways and actually showed a smaller noise-impacted area due to quieter aircraft technology, and that the upcoming Sustainable Airport Master Plan environmental review will further assess noise impacts. The document also addresses concerns about the pace of sound insulation programs, the transparency of the StART community advisory process, and the legal and regulatory constraints that limit the Port's ability to mandate certain noise reduction measures. -

2019-08-20City of Burien suspension of StART participation
In August 2019, the City of Burien formally suspended its participation in the Sea-Tac Advisory Roundtable (StART), citing the Port of Seattle's decision to advance airport expansion designs before completing required environmental reviews, a lack of transparency, and a feeling that community concerns were being ignored. The letter raises serious questions about noise abatement, slow sound insulation programs, air quality impacts extending miles beyond the airport, and the exclusion of nighttime engine run-up mitigation measures recommended as far back as 1996. Burien called on the Port to engage in an honest discussion about how much airport growth is sustainable given the health and quality-of-life impacts on surrounding communities.
