Our meeting on June 14, 1974, concerning the SeaTac/Communities Plan was helpful in clarifying some of the questions on the future progress of the study. One item of special concern to us is the determination of the most effective method of informing the citizens of the study conclusions and recommendations. During our meeting, differing views concerning this matter were expressed. We recommend that at least two or three public meetings be held at appropriate locations in the study area for purposes of providing the citizens with the study conclusions and recommendations prior to their presentations to the elected officials of the Port and King County. Perhaps the most effective format to use is to nave a panel involving both 8ppropri. ::~rp mAmh~'>r<:: nf tJ-"ll? u::~rj_ 0,JC::: t:itize!!

Obviously, these public meetings should be well publicized prior to the meeting dates. The degree of the formality under which the meetings are conducted is a matter which should be thoroughly considered. We presume that a "dry run" of the presentations would be made prior to the actual meetings. Needless to say, we were disappointed that more citizens did not participate in the June 10-13 open house…

We have been working with the Port of Seatit;le in the environmental impact statement review procegs on this proposed action+ Please be assured that we are giving cazeful consideration to the inclusion of both Sunset Junior High School and Maywood Elementary School in the proposed action with regard to the required environmental impact statement . )' Sir)1 /erely , GEORGE L.

A petition from David M. Des Voigne and property owners requesting the Port of Seattle establish South 216 Street as the southern terminus for interim land acquisition. The document includes FAA policy regarding land acquisition under the Airport Development Aid Program (ADAP).

Port of Seattle staff report recommending interim land acquisition program for Sea-Tac Airport clear zones, including 610 residential parcels and 75 acres with estimated value of $15.46 million. The report outlines FAA funding participation, natural boundaries, and implementation timeline through 1977.

Ftw Ale bJ tbe Baperlntendent of Doeamenta, U.S. OOTernment Prlntlnc OIBce, WubJncton, D.C. 21M02 ·Price *1.96 FOREWORD The Noise Control Act of 1972 requires that the Administrator of The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) develop and publish criteria with respect to noise. These criteria are to "reflect the scientific kno~ledge most useful in indicating the kind and extent of all identi- fiable effects of noise on the public health and welfare which may be expected from differing quantities and qualities of noise." This document meets that requirement. The terms "criteria and standards" are generally used interchangeably in the scientific communities concerned with noise and its control. However, in accordance with the intent of the U.S. Congress, criteria for environmental pollutants are to reflect an honest appraisal of available knowledge relating to health and welfare effects of pollutants, (in this case, noise). The criteria are descriptions of cause and effect relationships. Standards and regulations must take into account not only the health and welfare considerations described in the criteria, but also, as called for in the Noise Control Act of 1972, technology, and cost of control. This criteria document, therefore, serves as a basis for the establishment of the recommended envir- onmental noise level goals to be related to the "Effects Document" called for by Section 5(a)(2) of the Noise Control Act. That document, along with this criteria document, will become the basis for standards…
