1984-01-16Final Evaluation of Noise Abatement and Noise Remedy Measures – Acoustical Treatment of Existing Structures
★ 32This draft report from Peat Marwick, consultants to the Port of Seattle, evaluates noise remedy measures for neighborhoods surrounding Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. It outlines eligibility criteria for a sound insulation program, targeting approximately 5,529 existing residential structures exposed to noise levels of Ldn 70 or higher in 1980, or Ldn 65 or higher projected for the year 2000.

★In November 1983, the Port of Seattle sent this letter and attached survey summary to attendees of neighborhood workshops held near Jackson International Airport (Sea-Tac), informing them of community attitude surveys conducted by McClure Research Company on aircraft noise concerns. The surveys gathered resident opinions on potential noise remedy programs—including purchase guarantees, noise insulation cost-sharing, and avigation easements—to help planners assess program feasibility and likely participation rates. Results showed that workshop attendees' concerns closely mirrored those of the broader affected community living in areas with noise levels of 70 Ldn and above. -
