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.

This document is part of the Final Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement for Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, addressing public comments on aviation demand forecasts and runway capacity planning. It explains how the 'Do-Nothing' and 'With Project' (Third Runway) alternatives were evaluated based on projected passenger and operations data through 2010, noting that the existing airfield has a maximum capacity of 460,000 annual operations. The document also acknowledges the inherent uncertainty in long-range aviation forecasts and clarifies that neither NEPA nor SEPA require the use of worst-case data in environmental reviews.
