This Noise Technical Report, prepared by Landrum & Brown for the Port of Seattle in March 2024, analyzes noise impacts associated with near-term projects outlined in the Sustainable Airport Master Plan for Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. It is part of a broader Appendix J covering noise and noise-compatible land use, which also includes a Noise Modeling Protocol and a Construction Noise Technical Report. The report provides technical assessments to support planning decisions related to aircraft and construction noise in communities surrounding Sea-Tac Airport.

This technical memorandum from Landrum & Brown (February 2024) explains that noise modeling for the Seattle-Tacoma Airport (SEA) Sustainable Airport Master Plan (SAMP) Environmental Review was updated from AEDT Version 3e to the newer AEDT Version 3f, released December 13, 2023. The upgrade allowed modelers to use actual aircraft data for the Boeing 737-7 and Cessna 408 SkyCourier rather than substitute aircraft, improving modeling accuracy. The document details the specific airframe, engine, and Aircraft Noise and Performance (ANP) data changes made between the two software versions.

This technical report, prepared by Parametrix for the Port of Seattle in February 2024, documents the wetlands and streams found at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport as part of the Sustainable Airport Master Plan (SAMP) Near Term Projects. It covers the delineation of wetland and stream boundaries, assesses potential impacts to these aquatic areas from planned airport improvements, and outlines mitigation measures and permitting approaches to address those impacts.

This technical report, prepared by Parametrix for the Port of Seattle in February 2024, documents the wetlands and streams found within and around Seattle-Tacoma International Airport as part of the Sustainable Airport Master Plan (SAMP) Near Term Projects. It covers the delineation of aquatic critical areas, assessments of potential project impacts on wetlands and waterways, proposed mitigation measures, and the permitting approach needed to address those impacts. The report also includes analysis of impervious surface changes and Federal Flood Risk Management Standard (FFRMS) compliance worksheets.

This February 2024 technical report from the Port of Seattle documents the wetlands and streams located at and around Seattle-Tacoma International Airport as part of the Sustainable Airport Master Plan (SAMP). It includes mapped locations of wetlands surveyed across multiple years (2006, 2014, and 2017) along with stream corridors such as Miller Creek, Des Moines Creek, and Walker Creek. Field hydrology monitoring data from 2020 is also provided, recording groundwater depth and soil saturation measurements to assess wetland conditions across the airport property.

This technical report, prepared by Landrum & Brown for the Port of Seattle in January 2024, covers hazardous materials, solid waste, and pollution prevention as part of the Sustainable Airport Master Plan's near-term projects at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. It includes assessments of contaminated fuel farm sites, regulated building materials such as asbestos and lead in airport structures, and environmental investigation reports for fueling sites. Supporting attachments document findings from agencies like Washington State Ecology and surveys of specific airport buildings managed by tenants including United Airlines and Swissport.
