A teal-background section divider slide bearing the heading 'Additional Information' in white text, numbered page 41. The slide uses a color-bar footer in light blue and green consistent with a corporate or governmental presentation template.

This presentation slide outlines the next steps in the FAA and Port of Seattle environmental review process for a proposed action at Sea-Tac Airport. Steps include FAA review of Draft EA comments, potential preparation of an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) or issuance of a Mitigated FONSI/ROD, and Port of Seattle SEPA environmental review approval.

This slide (page 39) depicts the step-by-step NEPA Environmental Assessment process, beginning with Formulation of Proposed Action and Alternatives and proceeding through Background Data Collection, Agency and Public Scoping, Forecasts Updated, Draft EA preparation, public comment period, and culminating in either a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI)/Record of Decision (ROD) or, if significant impacts cannot be mitigated, preparation of an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). A star icon marks the current status at the 'Publish and Start Comment Period for the Draft EA' step.

Slide 38 from a Port of Seattle presentation announcing the 30-day public notice (September 20) and 45-day public comment period (October 21 – December 5, 2024) for the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport Sustainable Airport Master Plan (SAMP) environmental review. Public meetings are listed for Federal Way, Des Moines, SeaTac, and Burien in November 2024, with comments directed to Mr. Steve Rybolt at SAMP@portseattle.org or via the project website sampntpenvironmentalreview.org.

Slide 37 from a Port of Seattle presentation outlines language access provisions for Sea-Tac Airport community open house events, noting materials available in Spanish, Vietnamese, Simplified Chinese, Somali, Amharic, and Korean. Community members requiring audio, visual, or language assistance could call 206-339-0213, and on-site language line interpretation support was offered at four open house events.

Slide 36 from a Sea-Tac Airport (SEA) presentation summarizing public outreach and engagement efforts related to the FAA-approved SAMP (Sustainable Airport Master Plan) airport layout plan. Activities included 30-day advance notice, materials in seven languages, stakeholder outreach to the Highline Forum and StART, public meetings in Highline cities, targeted engagement with BIPOC and underrepresented communities in South King County, and outreach to regional leaders on future airport demand.

Slide 35 presents the chapter structure of the Draft NEPA Environmental Assessment (EA) document for the SAMP-NTP project, covering Introduction/Purpose & Need, Alternatives, Affected Environment, Environmental Consequences, Cumulative Impacts, List of Preparers, References, and Appendices. The project website is listed as www.sampNTPenvironmentalreview.org, indicating this is associated with Sea-Tac Airport's Sustainable Airport Master Plan – Near-Term Projects environmental review process.

Slide 34 from a Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) environmental review presentation defines past (2017–2021), present (2022–2025), and reasonably foreseeable future (2026–2032) projects for cumulative impact analysis under 40 CFR 1508.1. It concludes that implementation of the Action Alternatives, combined with other past, present, or foreseeable projects, would not result in significant cumulative impacts.

A presentation slide titled 'Surface Transportation' noting 'No significant impacts with mitigation,' listing ten intersections with Category 1 impacts and their jurisdictions, including the City of Burien, City of SeaTac, and WSDOT. Affected intersections include locations on Des Moines Memorial Drive, SR 518 ramps, and Military Road S. at I-5 ramps.

A presentation slide titled 'Surface Transportation' states 'No significant impacts with mitigation' and defines four categories of Level of Service (LOS) intersection impact for 2032 and 2037 Action Alternatives. The accompanying map shows numbered study intersections analyzed in the vicinity of Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, Des Moines, Burien, Tukwila, and Sea-Tac, with VISSIM and HCS analysis extents marked.
