The Burien Airport Committee (BAC) met on February 20, 2018 to discuss aviation capacity concerns near Sea-Tac Airport, including responses to Resolution No. 396, which calls for addressing regional aviation capacity needs in western Washington. The agenda covered updates on several airport studies, an interlocal agreement among four cities to jointly respond to the Sustainable Airport Master Plan (SAMP) Environmental Impact Statement (EIS), and ongoing noise-related efforts such as the Quiet Skies Burien initiative. Draft minutes from October 2017 reflect earlier committee work on scoping questions for the EIS and efforts to coordinate a unified voice among nearby airport-impacted cities.

This 2017 Noise Technical Report, prepared by The Greenbusch Group for the Washington State Department of Transportation, evaluates the noise impacts of Phase 1 of the SR 509 Completion Project near Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. It compares the proposed highway improvements against a 2003 environmental impact study, assessing changes in noise levels, affected residents, and noise abatement measures such as sound walls. The report concludes with recommendations for minimizing construction and long-term traffic noise impacts on surrounding communities.

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.

Comments submitted by the Airport Communities Coalition—comprising the cities of Burien, Des Moines, Federal Way, Normandy Park, Tukwila, and Highline Public Schools—on the Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement for the proposed Master Plan Update Development Actions at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. The document was prepared by Cutler & Stanfield, L.L.P. as counsel to the coalition, in

This 1997 document argues that the Port of Seattle's Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for a proposed third runway at Sea-Tac Airport inadequately examines impacts on wetlands and fails to prescribe sufficient mitigation measures. It contends that the FAA and Port must meet federal and state legal requirements — including Section 404 of the Clean Water Act and Washington's Growth Management Act — before any construction affecting wetlands can proceed. The document asserts that the EIS does not consider a broad enough range of alternatives, making it legally insufficient as a basis for approving the runway project.

This 1996 Final Environmental Impact Statement, prepared jointly by the FAA and the Port of Seattle, evaluates proposed expansion plans at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport through the year 2020, including the construction of a third parallel runway up to 8,500 feet long, a new north terminal, and various landside improvements. The document assesses environmental consequences across 24 categories—including noise, air quality, water quality, and human health—for a range of alternatives, from building a new regional airport to a no-build option. Ultimately, the Port of Seattle selected Alternative 3 as the preferred option, concluding that Sea-Tac was the only feasible site to address the region's growing air transportation needs.

This 1996 Final Environmental Impact Statement, prepared jointly by the FAA and the Port of Seattle, evaluates the environmental effects of proposed expansion and improvement projects at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, including the construction of a third parallel runway, terminal upgrades, and expanded parking and cargo facilities. The document examines a range of impacts such as wetland disturbance, floodplain encroachment, stream relocation, and noise, water, and air quality effects on surrounding communities. The proposed improvements were planned for completion between 1996 and 2020, with early phases prioritizing the new runway and existing terminal and access enhancements.

This 1996 Final Environmental Impact Statement, prepared by the Port of Seattle and the Federal Aviation Administration, evaluates proposed improvements at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport through the year 2020, including the construction of a third parallel runway, terminal expansions, and parking upgrades. The document assesses a range of environmental impacts such as noise, air and water quality, wetlands, and floodplain encroachment resulting from the planned development. It was prepared in compliance with both the National Environmental Policy Act and Washington State Environmental Policy Act.
