    Draft Environmental Assessment for the Sustainable Airport Master Plan Near-Term Projects: Cover, Table of Contents, and Acronyms

    This October 2024 Draft Environmental Assessment, prepared by Landrum & Brown for the Port of Seattle and the FAA, evaluates the environmental impacts of near-term construction projects at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport as part of its Sustainable Airport Master Plan. The assessment covers a wide range of environmental topics—including noise and noise-compatible land use, air quality, water resources, and environmental justice—for proposed improvements to passenger terminals, cargo facilities, airfield design, taxiways, and fuel storage. It is intended to support FAA decision-making under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and addresses the airport's ability to accommodate a projected 56 million annual passengers.
