This 2016 Port of Seattle presentation outlines the Sustainable Airport Master Plan for Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, which was the fastest-growing large hub airport in the U.S. at the time, handling 42.3 million passengers and 381,000 flight operations in 2015. The plan projects significant growth through 2034, forecasting up to 66 million annual passengers and 540,000 aircraft operations, driven by the region's expanding economy. Major infrastructure projects underway included a North Satellite Expansion, a new International Arrivals Facility, runway reconstruction, and a baggage system overhaul to accommodate this growth.

This 2016 working paper documents the methods and assumptions used to build an air quality emissions inventory for Seattle-Tacoma International Airport as part of the Sustainable Airport Master Plan. Using the FAA's EDMS modeling software, analysts estimated pollution from sources including aircraft engines, ground support equipment, parking, and stationary facilities such as generators and boilers. Aircraft operation data for 2014 was gathered from multiple sources, including FAA tower records, airline guides, and the Port of Seattle's own noise monitoring system.

The Port of Seattle requested $720,000 in Commission authorization to improve the Auburn wetland mitigation site, a nature area created to offset environmental impacts from Sea-Tac Airport's Third Runway construction. The project involves removing roughly 6,171 feet of temporary internal roads, planting approximately 5,000 native trees and shrubs in their place, and installing a new chain-link security fence to stop ongoing trespassing, vandalism, and illegal dumping. These enhancements are required to comply with Clean Water Act permits tied to the 1997 Master Plan Update and are intended to reduce long-term maintenance costs.

The 2015 Environmental Progress Report for Seattle-Tacoma International Airport outlines the airport's sustainability achievements under its Strategy for a Sustainable Sea-Tac (S3), including increasing the recycling rate from 23 to 34 percent, pursuing renewable natural gas partnerships to cut carbon emissions by 70 percent, and achieving a 90 percent construction waste recycling rate. The report covers environmental, economic, and social sustainability goals integrated with the Port of Seattle's Century Agenda, built on the foundation of the airport's 2009 environmental strategy. Note that this report focuses on broad environmental and sustainability initiatives rather than noise policy specifically.

This document covers the agenda and supporting materials for the March 23, 2016 Highline Forum, hosted by the Port of Seattle at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, focused on the Sustainable Airport Master Plan. Key topics included a Sea-Tac Airport update, business roundtables, and an overview of the Flight Corridor Safety Obstruction Management Program, which aims to remove approximately 1,234 trees and vegetation obstructions around Sea-Tac to comply with FAA safety regulations. The removal effort was planned in three phases from 2016 to 2018, covering Port-owned, publicly-owned, commercial, and residential properties, with a required minimum 1:1 replanting ratio.

The City Council of Des Moines, Washington approved Resolution No. 1322 on January 21, 2016, authorizing the City Manager to enter into a 2nd Addendum to the development agreement with the Port of Seattle for the Des Moines Creek Business Park. The resolution updates the project's master plan, with the primary change being the relocation of an internal loop road, while requiring completion of several planning requirements including site plans, environmental review, traffic analysis, and a right-of-way vacation before development can proceed.
