    StART options

    This document outlines the history of the StART (Sea-Tac Airport Roundtable) process, explaining why the cities of Burien, Des Moines, and Federal Way suspended their participation in summer 2019. The cities cited the Port of Seattle's decision to spend $10 million on design work for the Sustainable Airport Master Plan (SAMP) without completing environmental review or meaningfully consulting affected communities. Additional concerns included the Port's conduct at meetings, misrepresentation of community viewpoints, and a general feeling among city residents that their participation was being used to rubber-stamp Port decisions rather than genuinely influence them.

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.
