TagEnvironmental Impact Statement(325)

Appendix E contains public comments submitted in response to the Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) for the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport Master Plan Update. Commenters include the Highline Water District, the Washington State Department of Ecology, the U.S. Public Health Service, and the Washington State Department of Natural Resources, raising concerns about groundwater contamination, the handling of aircraft de-icing glycols, storm water runoff, and surface mining permit requirements for borrow sites on Port of Seattle property. The agencies generally called for stronger mitigation measures and clearer answers to environmental questions before approving the proposed airport expansion.

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.

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.

This 1996 Final Environmental Impact Statement, prepared jointly by the FAA and the Port of Seattle, evaluates proposed development actions at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport as part of a Master Plan Update. Key proposals include building a third parallel runway up to 8,500 feet long, extending an existing runway, improving passenger terminals, and expanding cargo and support facilities. The document assesses potential environmental impacts such as noise, wetland disruption, air and water quality changes, and floodplain encroachment associated with these planned improvements through the year 2020.

This document is Volume 6 of the Final Environmental Impact Statement for the proposed Master Plan Update at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, published in February 1996. It covers planned airport improvements from 1996 to 2020, including the construction of a third parallel runway, terminal expansions, and parking upgrades, while assessing impacts on noise, air quality, wetlands, and surrounding communities. The appendix compiles public hearing transcripts and approximately 250 written comments submitted in response to the Draft EIS, addressing key concerns such as aircraft noise, air pollution, and surface transportation impacts.

This 1996 Final Environmental Impact Statement (EIS), prepared by the FAA and Port of Seattle, evaluates the environmental effects of proposed expansion plans at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, including construction of a third parallel runway, terminal upgrades, and parking improvements planned through 2020. The document addresses key community concerns such as aircraft noise, air quality, surface traffic, and impacts on wetlands and floodplains. It includes transcripts and written comments from two public hearings held in June 1995, attended by community members and agencies who raised significant concerns about noise, health, and environmental impacts.

Final Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) prepared jointly by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Northwest Mountain Region and the Port of Seattle for the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (Sea-Tac) Master Plan Update, dated February 1996, AR038744. Covers proposed development actions 1996-2020 including a new third parallel runway (Runway 16X/34X) up to 8,500 feet long separated 2,500 feet

These three pages from the Washington State Department of Ecology document the delegation of signature authority to staff member Tom Luster, allowing him to issue routine Section 401 water quality certifications, Coastal Zone Management consistency determinations, and related administrative orders. Originally signed by Director Mary Riveland in December 1995, the authority was reaffirmed by Director Tom Fitzsimmons in February 1997. The delegation includes a succession of authority chain to ensure continuity if Luster is absent or leaves his position.
