TagEnvironmental Impact Statement(140)

This library catalog covers documents received in 1990 and 1992 relating to aviation planning and noise policy in the Puget Sound region, with a focus on Sea-Tac Airport. Key items include environmental impact statements for the 'Vision 2020' and 'Flight Plan Project' plans, Sea-Tac noise exposure map updates, community association comments on airport expansion, and technical reports on aircraft modifications. The catalog records each document's title, author or agency, original publication date, and accession date, and notes donor information where applicable.

This catalog lists documents received in 1996 related to Seattle-Tacoma International Airport planning and policy, including environmental impact statements, noise arbitration hearing transcripts, air quality studies, and budget documents. Key sources include the Port of Seattle, the FAA, the Airport Communities Coalition (ACC), and various consulting firms, covering topics such as the proposed Sea-Tac Master Plan Update, a third runway, groundwater studies, and community noise mitigation. The collection reflects ongoing disputes between the Port of Seattle and surrounding communities over airport expansion impacts during the mid-1990s.

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.

A handbook by the Council on Environmental Quality providing framework and methods for analyzing cumulative effects in environmental assessments and impact statements under NEPA. The document outlines principles, steps, and data sources for cumulative effects analysis but does not establish new legal requirements.

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 by the Port of Seattle and the Federal Aviation Administration, evaluates the environmental effects of proposed development projects at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, including the construction of a third parallel runway, terminal expansions, and parking improvements planned for completion between 1996 and 2020. The document assesses a range of impacts such as noise, air quality, wetlands, and floodplains affecting surrounding communities. Appendix C specifically addresses noise impacts resulting from the proposed airport expansion alternatives.

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.
