In May 2002, the Seattle Council on Airport Affairs (SCAA) urged King County Executive Ron Sims to advance the King County International Airport (Boeing Field) Part 150 Noise Study to the FAA for review, approval, and federal funding. The letter highlights years of unresolved noise complaints from nearby residents and outlines a draft review covering fiscal impacts, detailed comments, and prior noise reduction plans. The SCAA emphasized that implementing the study's recommendations would likely carry no negative fiscal implications for the county, but that progress depended on the county promptly forwarding its proposals to the FAA.

The 1997 Des Moines Creek Basin Plan is a collaborative watershed management document produced by the City of SeaTac, City of Des Moines, Port of Seattle, and King County. It addresses stormwater, drainage, and environmental conditions within the Des Moines Creek basin, an area significantly influenced by Sea-Tac Airport and surrounding urban development. The plan establishes coordinated strategies among the four jurisdictions to manage water quality and flooding in this shared watershed.

A 1995 letter from Allan M. Furney to Chester Beattie of the Airport Communities Coalition summarizes a 1974 settlement agreement between King County, the Washington State Highway Commission, and local citizens regarding flooding and drainage problems in the Miller Creek watershed. The settlement requires King County to improve water quality, prevent excess stormwater runoff into Miller Creek, and construct appropriate drainage facilities, while prohibiting full channelization of the creek. The letter raises concerns that proposed SeaTac Airport third-runway expansion plans, as outlined in the Draft EIS, would violate these settlement provisions by significantly increasing impervious surface area and stormwater flows into the Miller Creek drainage basin.

The 1994 Puget Sound Water Quality Management Plan is a regional environmental policy document adopted on May 18, 1994 by the Puget Sound Water Quality Authority, based in Olympia, Washington.
