Letter dated February 1, 2000 from John Strunk, Associated Earth Sciences, Inc. (AESI Project No. BV97016D) to Roger Nye, Washington Department of Ecology Northwest Regional Office, submitting first and second quarter ground water level measurements from the C1 (Qva) aquifer monitoring well network at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. Reports on six pressure transducers installed in the

Memorandum BV97016D dated January 31, 2000, from John Strunk (Associated Earth Sciences Inc.) and Mike Riley (S.S. Papadopulos & Associates, Inc.) to Roger Nye, Department of Ecology, responding to nine Ecology comments on the Conceptual Flow Model Boundary Presentation for the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport ground water study. Topics addressed include MODFLOW model setup covering approximately

A October 1999 laboratory analysis report from Aquatic Research Incorporated details water sample testing conducted for Parametrix/Port of Seattle. One water sample collected on October 8-11, 1999 was tested for total suspended solids, petroleum hydrocarbons (diesel and motor oil), and total metals including cadmium, copper, lead, and zinc. Results showed low levels of contaminants, with zinc detected at 0.102 mg/l and copper at 0.0070 mg/l, while diesel and motor oil levels fell below detection limits.

Fax transmittal dated 9/16/99 from John Strunk of Associated Earth Sciences, Inc. (Bainbridge Island, WA) to Roger Nye at Ecology, transmitting a map showing proposed well locations for measuring groundwater levels at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (STIA). The attached map titled ‘Proposed Groundwater Level Monitoring Well Network, STIA Groundwater Study’ (September 16th, 1999) shows on-site and

Email dated April 12, 1999 from Erik Stockdale to Raymond Hellwig and Tom Luster (cc: Erik Stockdale) regarding bird strike hazard (BASH) monitoring at Sea-Tac Airport in-basin mitigation sites Vacca Farm and Tyee Golf Course. Stockdale recounts conversation with Jim Kelley (FAA) about the need for baseline ‘before’ bird use data at mitigation sites prior

This document presents results from a 48-hour acute toxicity test conducted in February 1999 for the Port of Seattle, exposing water fleas (Ceriodaphnia dubia) to copper-contaminated water collected from Miller Creek. The test found that all organisms survived at concentrations up to 50 micrograms per liter, while complete mortality occurred at concentrations of 100 micrograms per liter and above. Water quality parameters including pH, dissolved oxygen, and specific conductivity were monitored throughout the test period.

Exhibit 2240 (AR 034936–034938) presents six baseline condition photographs of Vacca Farm dated November 16, 1998 and April 29, 1997, documenting environmental conditions near Sea-Tac Airport. Photos show discarded pumpkins attracting hundreds of crows, starlings, and seagulls creating a bird strike hazard; a flock of geese with several hundred mallards and widgeons using the pumpkin
