I am a Risk Assessor and soil scientist by training, having received my BA in geology and an MS in soil science. A description of my expertise and qualifications is included in my prior declaration supporting the Port of Seattle's Motion Opposing ACe's Motion for Stay and in Exhibit A to that declaration. AR 006616 3. In its reply memorandum, Ace alleges that the Port has made a number of "errors" in deriving or setting its fill criteria. Neither ACe's brief nor the declarations supporting it, however, link these alleged "errors" to any evidence, scientific or otherwise, that would tend to show that the MARTENBROWNINC.

Moreover, the ACC's allegations either miss the point or are simply wrong, as discussed herein. 4. First, despite ACC's implications to the contrary, both the numeric and the narrative requirements of the 401 Certification are protective of water quality. The narrative criteria prohibit acceptance of fill from contaminated sources and fill that was previously contaminated but has been remediated. See 401 Certification, Condition E(1)(b). The numeric criteria are more stringent than is necessary to ensure that water quality standards are not violated. See Declaration of L.

    JAMES C. KELLEY, PH.D., declares as follows: 1. I am over 18 years of age, am competent to testify, and have personal knowledge of the facts stated herein. 2. I am a professional ecologist with Parametrix, Inc. and the principal consulting ecologist for the Third Runway project at Seattle-Tacoma Intemational Airport. Please see my previous declaration in this matter, dated September 29, 2001, for a description of my qualifications and copy of my resume. 3. On August 10, 2001, the state Department of Ecology issued a §401 Certification for the Third Runway project. In Condition Dlg of the certification, Ecology required the Port of Seattle to conduct bi-monthly monitoring of wetlands downslope of the embankment fill in November to May before construction. SECOND DECLARATION OF JAMES C. KELLEY, PH.D - 1 FOSTER PEPPER _ SHEFELMAN PLLC 1111 THIRDAVENUE,SUITE3400 • . SEATTLE, WASHINGTON 98101-3299 206-447-4400 ORIGINAL AR 006548 4. Construction of the Third Runway project has already begun in upland areas. Therefore, a requirement that the downslope monitoring occur during November - May "before construction" presumably meant that project construction be halted before the monitoring is completed. For reasons described below, it is unnecessary to halt construction before completing this monitoring. Therefore, when Ecology issued its revised 401 Certification on September 21, 2001, it deleted the requirement that the monitoring occur "before construction". 5. The ACC and its wetlands consultant Amanda Azous have objected to Ecology's change to delete the pre-construction requirement. The ACC and Ms. Azous argue that this change…

    Rather than abide by the rules agreed-upon by all parties and, even more importantly, the specific orders of the Pollution Control Hearings Board, appellant Airport Communities Coalition CACC") has filed a reply brief that is overlength by more than 16 pages. Instead of first asking the Board, the ACC has simply presented the Board with a fait accompli and included a motion to allow overlength brief. That motion does not show good cause for violating the Board's express orders. Therefore, respondent Port of Seattle respectfully requests the Board to strike and disregard all overlength pages in the ACC reply brief. A. Facts. After the Board's initial pre-hearing order in this matter, which limited each brief filed regarding the motion for stay to 15 pages, counsel for Airport Communities Coalition requested a page limit of 30 pages "per side." A copy of that letter is attached at Tab A. In response, the Board modified its pre-hearing order to limit each brief to 30 pages: "Each brief filed shall be limited to 30 pages, not counting attachments."
