    Findings of fact, conclusions of law, and order: Airport Communities Coalition v. State of Washington Department of Ecology and Port Of Seattle

    This legal document covers a 2002 Washington State Pollution Control Hearings Board case in which the Airport Communities Coalition and Citizens Against Airport Expansion challenged the water quality certification issued by the Department of Ecology for the construction of a Third Runway at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. The hearing examined 20 issues related to stormwater management, water quality standards, and whether adequate assurances existed that the runway project would comply with Section 401 of the Clean Water Act. The case involved the Port of Seattle as a respondent and centered on whether proper environmental safeguards were in place before construction could proceed.

    PCHB No. 01-160: Findings of Fact, Conclusions of Law, and Order — ACC and CASE v. Ecology and Port Of Seattle

    This document records a 2002 Washington State Pollution Control Hearings Board case in which community groups challenged the water quality certification issued for the construction of a third runway at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. The Airport Communities Coalition and Citizens Against Airport Expansion argued that the Department of Ecology's approval did not provide adequate assurance that the project would comply with Clean Water Act Section 401 and state water quality laws, particularly regarding stormwater management. The Board examined 20 disputed issues covering topics such as stormwater impacts, detention system safety, and the scope of the certification.

As the source for federal transportation grants, the Puget Sound Regional Council was charged with developing a system to meet the growing need for commercial aviation. 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.
