In this 2001 declaration filed with Washington State's Pollution Control Hearings Board, fisheries biologist Dr. John A. Strand argues that proposed modifications to the Port of Seattle's stormwater discharge permit would harm Walker and Gilliam Creeks near Sea-Tac Airport, which support salmon, trout, and other aquatic life. Dr. Strand contends that Ecology failed to identify specific locations of new construction-related stormwater outfalls, denying the public a meaningful chance to assess environmental impacts. He supports a stay of the permit modification until its compliance with the Clean Water Act can be fully reviewed.

This document chronicles the Port of Seattle's second Section 401 Clean Water Act permit application, submitted in September 1999, which was on the verge of being denied by the Washington State Department of Ecology due to multiple shortcomings related to wetlands and water quality. On September 28, 2000, a private, unannounced meeting was held between Port, Ecology, and Governor's office officials, after which the Port strategically withdrew its application to avoid a formal denial. A series of closed-door negotiating sessions followed in October 2000, none of which were publicly announced, raising concerns about political influence and lack of transparency in the permitting process for Sea-Tac Airport expansion.
