This February 2013 report documents the as-built conditions of a wetland mitigation project at Tyee Valley Golf Course, carried out as part of Seattle-Tacoma International Airport's 1997 Master Plan Update. Prepared by ESA for the Port of Seattle under a US Army Corps of Engineers permit, it details construction outcomes, planting plans, and habitat restoration work completed to offset environmental impacts from airport improvements. The report also outlines ongoing vegetation and hydrologic monitoring standards to ensure the mitigation site meets long-term performance goals.

This December 2001 letter from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's Western Washington office provides detailed comments on a Monitoring Plan for Embankment Fill Seepage related to a Sea-Tac Airport Master Plan Update, reviewed under the Endangered Species Act. The agency requested key revisions, including monitoring both seepage quality and quantity, beginning monitoring when seepage first occurs rather than after embankment completion, and ensuring groundwater wells are considered as a monitoring pathway. The letter also clarified that any exceedances of water quality criteria must be reported promptly, and that the Federal Aviation Administration—not the Port—would be responsible for reinitiating formal consultation.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service issued a biological opinion in May 2001 evaluating the potential effects of proposed Master Plan Update Improvements at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport on three protected species: bull trout, bald eagle, and marbled murrelet.
