    EXH AR037700: Draft Restrictive Covenants for Mitigation Sites for Seattle-Tacoma International Airport Master Plan Improvements

    Draft Declaration of Restrictive Covenants by Port Of Seattle for four mitigation sites associated with Seattle-Tacoma International Airport Master Plan Improvements, including third runway construction. Covers Miller Creek Buffer Areas, Miller Creek/Lora Lake Wetland and Floodplain, Tyee Valley Golf Course Wetland Enhancement, and Auburn Wetland Mitigation Site (approximately 69 acres in City of Auburn).

    EXH AR024667: Miller Creek Below ROF — Future Low Flow Frequency & Storm Event Daily Flows

    This document contains hydrological flow data for Miller Creek, including a ranked frequency analysis of the lowest monthly mean streamflows recorded between August and May from 1948 to 1995, alongside modeled daily and hourly stream flow outputs from 2-year/72-hour and 2-year/2-hour storm events simulated in August 1996. The analysis identifies a 5-year mean low flow of approximately 0.60 cubic feet per second for the lowest month in the August–May period. Acute and chronic water quality standards are also evaluated in relation to effluent and receiving water flows during the storm event.

    EXH AR024628: Stormwater Mixing Zones Mar 25 Meeting Discussion Doc STIA Third Runway EIS

    This technical document from a March 25 meeting discusses stormwater mixing zone analysis for proposed outfalls around Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (STIA). Because standard stream flow conditions (7Q10 and 30Q5) are extremely unlikely to coincide with stormwater discharge events, Parametrix proposed a site-specific approach using higher-probability rainfall-based discharge combinations instead. The analysis found that reasonable dilution of 14- to 24-fold could occur within about 15 to 20 meters downstream, though complete mixing requirements would exceed standard regulatory width and flow percentage criteria, prompting a request for exceptions under WAC 173-201A-100.

    EXH AR024556: Mixing Zone Analysis — 3rd Runway North Discharge Miller Creek (Basin SDW-1)

    This technical document describes a mixing zone analysis for stormwater discharge from the 3rd Runway North at Sea-Tac Airport into Miller Creek, designated as Basin SDW-1. The analysis uses design storm modeling with various rainfall scenarios (2-year/2-hour, 2-year/72-hour, and 3-year/72-hour events) to calculate effluent flow rates for both acute and chronic water quality criteria. Stormwater from the basin's approximately 128 acres of pervious and impervious area is routed through a detention pond before discharge, with outflow rates determined by a storage-discharge rating curve.

    EXH 2072: Fact Sheet NPDES Permit WA-002465-1 STIA

    This document is a fact sheet accompanying an NPDES (National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System) permit issued to the Port of Seattle for Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, governing how the airport manages and discharges treated industrial wastewater and stormwater. It covers discharge locations into Puget Sound, Des Moines Creek, Miller Creek, and the City of SeaTac storm sewer system, and establishes effluent limitations and monitoring requirements. The permit addresses water quality standards, pollution prevention plans, and compliance schedules to protect surrounding waterways from airport-related contaminants.

Sea-Tac Airport is currently undergoing the largest and longest expansion in its history, collectively known as the Sustainable Airport Master Plan (SAMP). Some of it you can already hear, but you’re probably not aware of what it all means. Here’s what you need to know.

Read This!

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.
