    EXH AR022233: Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan — STIA

    This Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP), prepared by the Port of Seattle for Seattle-Tacoma International Airport in November 1998 (with revisions through December 2001), outlines strategies and best management practices (BMPs) to prevent pollutants from contaminating stormwater runoff at Sea-Tac Airport. The plan covers a range of potential pollution sources including aircraft servicing, deicing operations, spills, construction sites, and vehicle maintenance, and describes the airport's drainage systems and inspection requirements under its NPDES permit. It serves as a regulatory compliance document ensuring that airport operations minimize their impact on local water quality.

    EXH AR024740: Internal Email — Section 4.3 Water Quality Facilities, Stormwater Mgmt RP

    A 1998 internal email exchange between Ken Ludwa and Kerry Ritland discusses edits to Section 4.3 of a stormwater management report related to Sea-Tac Airport. The section covers water quality facilities, explaining that new stormwater detention facilities would follow state Ecology guidelines using biofiltration and permanent water quality storage, while also complying with the Port's NPDES permit and Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP). Ken Ludwa agreed to edit the section to reference Appendix F – Water Quality BMP Analysis once that appendix was further developed.

    Memorandum from Ken Ludwa (Parametrix, Inc.) to Paul Fendt dated July 1, 1998, project number 55-2912-01, describing results of a Reasonable Potential Analysis (RPA) for the STIA Third Runway area stormwater runoff.

    EXH AR026404: Memo — Reasonable Potential Analysis Results, STIA Third Runway

    A 1998 internal memo from Parametrix, Inc. summarizes the results of a Reasonable Potential Analysis (RPA) conducted for the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (STIA) Third Runway project, assessing whether stormwater runoff from the new runway could exceed water quality criteria in Miller Creek and Des Moines Creek. The analysis found that most pollutant concentrations after treatment with best management practices (BMPs) such as bioswales, sand filters, and wet ponds would meet criteria, with the exception of copper, which remained above acceptable levels. The memo also notes that existing pollutant concentrations in the receiving waterways during storms already exceeded criteria, even before accounting for Third Runway runoff.

    A July 1, 1998 memorandum from Parametrix, Inc. summarizes the results of a Reasonable Potential Analysis (RPA) conducted for the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (STIA) Third Runway project, assessing stormwater runoff quality against water quality criteria for Miller Creek and Des Moines Creek. The analysis found that most pollutant concentrations after treatment with best management practices (BMPs) such as bioswales, sand filters, and wet ponds would meet criteria, with the exception of copper, which remained above acceptable levels. The memo also notes that during storms, pollutant concentrations already present in the receiving waters exceeded criteria and were higher than those predicted from Third Runway stormwater runoff.

Issues

Sea-Tac Airport is currently undergoing the largest and longest expansion in its history, collectively known as the Sustainable Airport Master Plan (SAMP). Some of it you can already hear, but you’re probably not aware of what it all means. Here’s what you need to know.

Read This!

As the source for federal transportation grants, the Puget Sound Regional Council was charged with developing a system to meet the growing need for commercial aviation. When the search for a second airport failed, they authorized the Port of Seattle to build the Third Runway, with a mandate to develop a noise abatement and mitigation program. In their effort to stop the Third Runway, the ACC argued over every detail of the Port's efforts--including property buyouts and sound insulation. The dispute was meant to be settled by a three member Expert Arbitration Panel. This is their final report. It finds 2-1, that the Port's program was insufficient in several respects. Despite that, funding for the Third Runway was approved by the PSRC, and the 'Port Package' program, proceeded largely unchanged. Expert Arbitration Panel's final decision finding that the Port of Seattle had not shown sufficient reduction in real on-the-ground noise impacts to satisfy noise reduction conditions required for approval of a third runway at Sea-Tac International Airport. The majority decision concluded the Port's noise abatement programs were insufficient despite being impressive in scope.
