    Final supplemental environmental impact statement: Proposed master plan update, Seattle-Tacoma International Airport

    ★ 32
    This Final Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (FSEIS) evaluates proposed updates to the Master Plan for Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, examining the effects of revised aviation demand forecasts on runway capacity, safety improvements, and landside facilities. It analyzes a range of alternatives to address poor-weather airfield performance, runway length needs for Pacific Rim flights, and runway safety area compliance with FAA standards. The document also assesses environmental consequences including noise impacts on surrounding communities, air quality, wetlands, and construction effects.

    This February 1997 report, prepared for five cities near Seattle-Tacoma International Airport along with the Highline School District and Highline Community Hospital, assesses the impacts of Sea-Tac Airport on surrounding communities and offers initial mitigation recommendations. Funded by a State of Washington grant, the study was conducted by Hellmuth, Obata + Kassabaum and Raytheon Infrastructure Services to address concerns such as noise and other community impacts. It represents an early collaborative effort by local jurisdictions to seek remedies and protections for residents and institutions affected by airport operations.

When the search for a second airport failed, they authorized the Port of Seattle to build the Third Runway, with a mandate to develop a noise abatement and mitigation program. In their effort to stop the Third Runway, the ACC argued over every detail of the Port's efforts--including property buyouts and sound insulation. The dispute was meant to be settled by a three member Expert Arbitration Panel. This is their final report. It finds 2-1, that the Port's program was insufficient in several respects. Despite that, funding for the Third Runway was approved by the PSRC, and the 'Port Package' program, proceeded largely unchanged. Expert Arbitration Panel's final decision finding that the Port of Seattle had not shown sufficient reduction in real on-the-ground noise impacts to satisfy noise reduction conditions required for approval of a third runway at Sea-Tac International Airport. The majority decision concluded the Port's noise abatement programs were insufficient despite being impressive in scope.
