Final Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement for the Proposed Master Plan Update Development Actions at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, Volume 1: Main Text and Appendices A through C-1
This 1997 Final Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (SEIS) examines the environmental effects of proposed expansion plans at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, including construction of a new third parallel runway, terminal improvements, and parking upgrades. The study was prompted by faster-than-expected growth in air travel demand during the mid-1990s, which exceeded earlier forecasts and required updated analysis of noise, air quality, wetland, and community impacts. The document was jointly prepared by the FAA and the Port of Seattle to ensure the proposed developments met federal and Washington State environmental policy requirements. -
