Draft memorandum dated May 14, 2001, from Douglas Lindquist (E.I.T.) and Michael Bailey (P.E.) of Hart Crowser, Inc. to Pete Douglass (P.E.) and Embankment Technical Review Board (ETRB), CC Jim Thomson (P.E.) HNTB, project 4978-30. Describes proposed liquefaction potential evaluation procedure for areas beneath walls and slopes of the Third Runway embankment at Sea-Tac Airport.

This document is a professional curriculum vitae for Patrick C. Lucia, a civil engineer and Principal at GeoSyntec Consultants specializing in geotechnical engineering, landslides, and slope stability. It details his education, professional registrations, career history, and representative project experience, including bridge seismic reviews, landslide repairs, and reservoir stability evaluations in California. Note: This document does not appear to contain content related to Sea-Tac Airport noise policy.

A 2000 engineering memorandum from HNTB and Hart Crowser advises the Third Runway Design Team against artificially increasing stormwater infiltration within the proposed runway embankment. The memo warns that enhanced infiltration would raise risks of slope instability, soil liquefaction during earthquakes, and long-term maintenance problems that could not be remedied once the embankment was built. The engineers concluded that these safety and structural risks outweighed any stormwater detention benefits that increased infiltration might provide.

King County Superior Court Findings of Fact, Conclusions of Law and Final Order by Judge Robert H. Alsdorf in consolidated cases No. 96-2-20357-2 KNT, No. 97-2-13908-2 KNT, No. 97-2-22276-1 KNT, No. 98-2-04911-1 KNT. Challenges Port Of Seattle Resolutions 3212 and 3245 approving the Sea-Tac Master Plan Update including construction of a third runway at Seattle-Tacoma

This is a library catalog sheet listing documents received in 1990 related to regional planning and community concerns in the Seattle-Tacoma area. It includes two versions of the 'Vision 2020' environmental impact statement published by the Puget Sound Regional Council (PSRC), as well as a community document titled 'The Injustice of It All' authored by a group called Enraged Housewives. The catalog was originally created in June 1998 and last revised in August 2002.

A 1998 letter from Fisheries Consultants to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers concludes that SeaTac Airport's proposed Third Runway will have an overall neutral effect on aquatic habitat and fish populations in Miller Creek. Minor benefits are expected from new storm flow detention facilities, which will reduce peak flood flows by 5–20%, and from a planned 100-foot-wide stream buffer created through residential buyouts along the creek. Adverse impacts are limited to the temporary disruption of a quarter-mile creek relocation and an approximate 8% reduction in late-summer low stream flows due to increased paved surfaces and wetland fill.

This 1997 Final Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (SEIS) examines the environmental effects of proposed expansion plans at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, including construction of a new third parallel runway, terminal improvements, and parking upgrades. The study was prompted by faster-than-expected growth in air travel demand during the mid-1990s, which exceeded earlier forecasts and required updated analysis of noise, air quality, wetland, and community impacts. The document was jointly prepared by the FAA and the Port of Seattle to ensure the proposed developments met federal and Washington State environmental policy requirements.

This document is part of the Final Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement for Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, addressing public comments on aviation demand forecasts and runway capacity planning. It explains how the 'Do-Nothing' and 'With Project' (Third Runway) alternatives were evaluated based on projected passenger and operations data through 2010, noting that the existing airfield has a maximum capacity of 460,000 annual operations. The document also acknowledges the inherent uncertainty in long-range aviation forecasts and clarifies that neither NEPA nor SEPA require the use of worst-case data in environmental reviews.

This technical report supplements the Final Environmental Impact Statement for Seattle-Tacoma International Airport's Master Plan Update, focusing on construction impacts related to the proposed Third Runway and associated projects. It analyzes fill material requirements estimated at 17.25 million cubic yards, haul routes, and truck traffic volumes, noting that the construction timeline was extended from three to five years, which reduced the number of average daily truck trips compared to earlier estimates. The report examines both on-site and off-site material sources and assesses potential traffic congestion impacts on regional roadways during the construction period.

This 1997 Final Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement evaluates the environmental effects of proposed expansion projects at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, including construction of a new 8,500-foot third parallel runway, terminal improvements, and expanded parking and cargo facilities. The document examines potential impacts such as wetland disturbance, floodplain encroachment, stream relocation, and air, water, and noise quality effects on surrounding communities. It was prepared jointly under the National Environmental Policy Act and Washington State Environmental Policy Act to address concerns arising from continued growth in aviation activity levels.
