Meeting notes from Erik Stockdale discuss wetland monitoring activities, including monthly groundwater sampling, continuous recorders at drainage channels, and vegetation mapping. Topics covered include hydrology monitoring changes, performance standards for hydrological discharge, and sampling schedules running bi-monthly from November through May. The notes reference coordination among multiple parties regarding soil sampling, data thresholds, and revised performance standards.

This 2001 Natural Resource Mitigation Plan document for Seattle-Tacoma International Airport outlines proposed environmental mitigation actions associated with construction of a new third runway and related facilities. It details a sequenced approach to avoiding, minimizing, and compensating for impacts to wetlands, Miller Creek, Des Moines Creek, and other natural resources. Key measures include constructing retaining walls to protect wetlands, restoring the Vacca Farm floodplain, establishing forested stream buffers, and providing a $300,000 trust fund for fisheries habitat enhancement.

Email from Ann Kenny to Katie Walter (cc: Raymond Hellwig, Erik Stockdale) dated July 31, 2001, transmitting Attachment X: NRMP Plan Set Revisions (AR018266, DOE 8/13/01 0567). The attachment lists prescriptive revision requirements for plan sheets in Appendix A (Miller Creek Relocation and Floodplain Enhancement) and Appendix B (Miller Creek In-stream and Buffer Enhancements), including

Meeting notes from 2-26-01 discuss a new CFM proposal for Walker that may significantly increase storage requirements and affect SMP design feasibility, potentially impacting NRMP. Key concerns include the need to understand design feasibility and impacts, with discussion of resizing UDP to allow CFM regulations and hydrological monitoring. Participants noted too much time was being spent on modeling rather than addressing core design and impact questions.
