    FAA role in use of land at Sea-Tac

    ★
    A January 1990 FAA briefing document outlines the agency's role in land use at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, explaining that federal involvement stems from approximately $115 million in federal funds spent on the airport since 1970 for planning, land acquisition, construction, and noise insulation. The FAA supported the concept of a park on airport land, provided the Port of Seattle maintained ownership and control, airport funds were not used for the park, and only compatible uses were allowed. The document also details Sea-Tac's noise mitigation efforts, including over $50 million in federal grants to acquire roughly 750 noise-impacted land parcels and more than $7 million to insulate 323 homes near the airport.

As the source for federal transportation grants, the Puget Sound Regional Council was charged with developing a system to meet the growing need for commercial aviation. When the search for a second airport failed, they authorized the Port of Seattle to build the Third Runway, with a mandate to develop a noise abatement and mitigation program. In their effort to stop the Third Runway, the ACC argued over every detail of the Port's efforts--including property buyouts and sound insulation. The dispute was meant to be settled by a three member Expert Arbitration Panel. This is their final report. It finds 2-1, that the Port's program was insufficient in several respects. Despite that, funding for the Third Runway was approved by the PSRC, and the 'Port Package' program, proceeded largely unchanged. Expert Arbitration Panel's final decision finding that the Port of Seattle had not shown sufficient reduction in real on-the-ground noise impacts to satisfy noise reduction conditions required for approval of a third runway at Sea-Tac International Airport. The majority decision concluded the Port's noise abatement programs were insufficient despite being impressive in scope.
