In a 2001 declaration filed with Washington State's Pollution Control Hearings Board, environmental reviewer Tom Luster argues that the state Department of Ecology's water quality certification for the Sea-Tac Airport expansion was based on speculation rather than the legally required 'reasonable assurance' that water quality standards would be met. Luster contends the certification lacks sufficient evidentiary support and that the approved stormwater and low-flow mitigation plans fall far short of adequately protecting state waters. He warns that accepting this certification approach could set a damaging precedent for future water quality reviews of major projects across Washington State.

This legal declaration by Ann Kenny, an Environmental Specialist with Washington State's Department of Ecology, was filed before the Pollution Control Hearings Board in a case involving the Airport Communities Coalition challenging the Port of Seattle. The document addresses water quality conditions attached to a Clean Water Act Section 401 Certification for Sea-Tac Airport expansion, specifically focusing on Low Flow Mitigation Plans for Walker, Miller, and Des Moines Creek basins affected by increased impervious surfaces.
