In a September 28, 2000 letter to Port of Seattle Executive Director Mic Dinsmore, Washington State Department of Ecology Director Tom Fitzsimmons explained that the agency could not complete its review of the Port's Clean Water Act Section 401 Water Quality Certification application for the Third Runway project within the required timeframe. Ecology outlined key outstanding concerns, including stormwater management plan deficiencies affecting Miller, Walker, and Des Moines Creeks, as well as wetlands protection issues.

A September 26, 2000 letter from Water Resources Consulting L.L.C. to the Washington State Department of Ecology critiques the Port of Seattle's plans to augment water flow in Des Moines Creek, a project related to Sea-Tac Airport operations. The letter identifies several serious flaws in the proposal, including the lack of a secured water source, concerns about water temperature and fluoride toxicity to fish, and a maintenance-intensive design prone to failure. The author concludes that the Port's 'preliminary design' does not provide reasonable assurance that water quality standards will be met.
