Following our disscussion on 25 July 1979, we have prepared five pre- schematic site plans to indicate to you the numbers of people that may be anticipated at the North Seatac site under a variety of development regimes. You are familiar w~h four of the plans, as we presented these to the FAA on 17 July 1979. ~~~ing preliminary recommendations gi¥fn to us at that time, a second 1Modified Passive11 plan was prepareCW You will find all five plans enclosed. The numbers shown on the plan are derived from published information, previous studies, and our own experience. These plans are a very early phase of master planning and are intended only to provoke disscussion. However, they do reflect our natural process- es and social factors studtes to this point. We have analyzed elements such as soils, hydrology, vegetation, and noise, etc. to determine which areas of the North Seatac site could carry varying recreation development intensities. Our studies have been synthesised into the map labeled Carrying Capacity11 which I have included with the pre-schematics. ' If you have any questions regarding the pre-schematics or the process that lead to the Carrying Capacity plan, please feel free to call-I or Dave McNeal will be glad to help you.
