    The CURB Pollution Act: Cumulative Risk Burden Pollution Act Fact Sheet

    The CURB (Cumulative Risk Burden) Pollution Act is a proposed Washington State law that would require environmental justice considerations to be factored into pollution permitting decisions, with the goal of protecting communities that have historically faced disproportionate pollution burdens due to redlining and institutional racism. The act would require agencies to deny new permits that add cumulative pollution effects in overburdened communities and increase public participation in the permitting process. It builds on Washington's existing Healthy Environment for All (HEAL) Act by directly applying environmental justice principles to pollution permitting.

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.
