Two photographs taken by P. Willing on January 28, 2002, document an absorbent boom placed in a stream below the SDS1 outfall, a pollution-control measure used to contain contaminants. The second photo highlights turbid (murky) effluent visible in the stream, indicating water quality concerns at the site. These images appear to be part of an environmental monitoring or spill-response record associated with drainage infrastructure near Sea-Tac Airport.
