A November 2000 letter from the Washington State Department of Ecology to Seattle-Tacoma International Airport summarizes the completion status of environmental tasks required under Agreed Order 97TC-N122. The order mandated a comprehensive groundwater study of the Airport Operations and Maintenance Area (AOMA), including hydrogeological research, contamination mapping, and development of groundwater flow and contaminant transport models. While several research and data-collection tasks were completed, key items such as identifying unknown contamination sources, developing operational groundwater and transport models, and preparing a final Phase I Groundwater Study Report remained incomplete.

A November 2000 memo from Washington State Department of Ecology's Roger Nye raises concerns that the Port of Seattle failed to adequately identify potential soil and groundwater contamination sites at Sea-Tac Airport, as required by an Agreed Order. Nye outlines four key deficiencies, including the Port's failure to account for historical use of chlorinated solvents in aircraft washing, overlooked fueling facilities, and incomplete identification of contamination sources based on historical operations rather than just historical facilities. The memo calls for a thorough, honest effort to identify all potential contamination areas that could pose risks to nearby drinking water wells and surface waters.
