    City of Des Moines Letter to Lance Lyttle Suspending StART Participation

    In August 2019, the City of Des Moines formally notified Sea-Tac Airport's Director of Aviation that it was suspending its participation in the Stakeholder Advisory Roundtable (StART) Committee. The decision followed the Port of Seattle's approval of $10 million for Near-Term Airport Master Plan design work at an off-site meeting held without prior notice to affected communities, which Des Moines argued violated state environmental review requirements and broke the trust the StART process was built upon. The letter also highlights ongoing concerns about the disproportionate noise and health impacts experienced by Des Moines residents due to the city's proximity to Sea-Tac Airport.

When the search for a second airport failed, they authorized the Port of Seattle to build the Third Runway, with a mandate to develop a noise abatement and mitigation program. In their effort to stop the Third Runway, the ACC argued over every detail of the Port's efforts--including property buyouts and sound insulation. The dispute was meant to be settled by a three member Expert Arbitration Panel. This is their final report. It finds 2-1, that the Port's program was insufficient in several respects. Despite that, funding for the Third Runway was approved by the PSRC, and the 'Port Package' program, proceeded largely unchanged. Expert Arbitration Panel's final decision finding that the Port of Seattle had not shown sufficient reduction in real on-the-ground noise impacts to satisfy noise reduction conditions required for approval of a third runway at Sea-Tac International Airport. The majority decision concluded the Port's noise abatement programs were insufficient despite being impressive in scope.
