This 1997 FAA Advisory Circular provides guidance on identifying and managing land uses near public airports that attract hazardous wildlife, such as waste disposal sites, wastewater treatment facilities, and wetlands.

This April 1984 working draft outlines the Port of Seattle's suggested process for helping eligible homeowners near Sea-Tac International Airport sell their properties under the Neighborhood Reinforcement Program's Purchase Assurance Noise Remedy Option. Homeowners first list their homes on the market for a minimum of 90 days, and if unsold, may apply to the Port for transaction assistance, which can include a property appraisal, noise audit, mortgage subsidies, and partial real estate fee coverage. Depending on how the appraisal compares to the final listed price, the Port may acquire an avigation easement, assist with the sale, or ultimately purchase the property itself and market it for resale.
