    The hearing in this matter regards the Airport Communities Coalition's and Citizens Against Sea-Tat Expansion's (collectively ACC) appeal of the Department of Ecology's (Ecology) Order No. 1996-4-023525 (the 401 Certification), l which constituted a Clean Water Act (CWA) § 401 Certification, an RCW 90.48 Order, and a Coastal Zone Management Act (CZMA) Consistency Concurrence determination for the Port of Seattle's (Port) proposed Ecology initially issued Order No. 1996-4-02325 on August 10, 2001. Ecology subsequently rescinded that order and issued Order No. 1996-4-02325 (Amended-I) on September 21, 2001. Those orders will be collectively referred to as the 401 Certification. AR 002508 RESPONDENT DEPARTMENT OF 1 ATTORNEYGENERALOFWASHINGTON Ecology Division ECOLOGY'S PRE-HEARING BRIEF po Box40117 Olympia, WA 98504-0117 ORIGINAL FAX(360)586-6760 Master Plan Update (MPU) Improvements for the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (STIA). The evidence and testimony presented to the Pollution Control Hearings Board (Board) will demonstrate that Ecology appropriately issued the 401 Certification. In addition, the hearing will show that the ACC has failed to meet its burden of proof and hence the Board should affirm Ecology's decision. H. BACKGROUND Through testimony and exhibits Ecology expects to prove the following at hearing: The terms of the 401 Certification were developed through extensive coordination with Ecology's experts on wetlands science, hydrology, stormwater management, water quality, and toxics. The Port identified a number of projects in its MPU in order to allow it to efficiently meet existing and future regional air travel demands. In its Joint Aquatic Resources Permit Application (JARPA) the Port states: The airfield…

    The third runway and related MPU projects are the most carefully planned, analyzed and mitigated public transportation projects ever proposed in Washington. For the 401water quality certification (401) that is the subject of this appeal, Ecology has required an unprecedented package of sophisticated mitigation measures. This package includes extensive mitigation for impacts to wetlands, including the creation, restoration and enhancement of over 60 acres of new wetlands; retrofit of the entire existing storm water detention system at STIA to current standards; an on-going monitoring and adaptive management program; adoption of stringent fill criteria; and implementation of a sophisticated low flow mitigation plan to address summer low flows in neighboring creeks. 11. BACKGROUND The Port of Seattle (Port) urges the Board to affirm the Department of Ecology's (Ecology) conclusion that reasonable assurance exists that construction of the third runway and associated improvements (Master Plan Update Improvements, or MPU) at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (STIA) will not violate state water quality standards or other applicable legal requirements. Appellant ACC is composed of five small cities and a school district located near the airport. The City of SeaTac, the community that would be most affected by new development at the airport, is not a party to this appeal and does not oppose the MPU projects. ACC raises questions about some of the specifics of the mitigation and monitoring plans, but fails to carry its burden of proof to show that there is not "reasonable assurance" that water quality standards will be met. Because ACC…
