This report presents the annual stormwater monitoring results for Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (Sea-Tac) covering the period from July 1, 2010 through June 30, 2011, prepared by the Port of Seattle's Aviation Environmental Programs. It details the airport's storm drainage system, including drainage subbasins, outfall locations, and their connections to local waterways such as Miller Creek, Walker Creek, and Des Moines Creek. The report documents water quality sampling procedures and results from non-construction stormwater discharges across the airport's various drainage areas.

This 2011 study, prepared by Herbert Engineering Corp. for the Port of Seattle, examines the carbon footprint of intermodal freight shipping routes between Asia and North America, comparing emissions across major port regions including the Pacific Northwest, California, Southern East Coast, and Northern East Coast. It analyzes CO2 emissions from container ships, locomotives, and heavy-duty diesel vehicles across each leg of the supply chain. Note: this document concerns maritime and rail freight emissions and is not directly related to Sea-Tac Airport noise policy.

Resolution No. 3650 was adopted by the Port of Seattle Commission on May 3, 2011, updating the Port's policies and procedures under the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) to reflect changes in law and improve effectiveness. The resolution requires the Port to analyze and, where appropriate, mitigate the environmental impacts of its proposals, including consideration of greenhouse gas emissions and climate change. It supersedes all prior related resolutions and formally designates policies that may be used to condition or deny actions under SEPA's substantive authority.

The Port of Seattle held a public open house at Sea-Tac International Airport on April 9, 2011, to present feasibility-stage proposals for reducing airport noise affecting surrounding communities. Mitigation options under consideration included building a hush house to muffle engine run-ups, installing air conditioning in uninsulated single-family homes within the updated 65 DNL noise boundary, providing sound insulation for multi-family and mobile homes, and assisting local jurisdictions with long-term land-use planning. The Port planned to submit its recommended solutions to the FAA by the end of 2011, after which the FAA would conduct a 180-day review to determine which measures it would help fund.

The Port of Seattle's 2010/2011 Environmental Annual Report, titled 'Destination: Sustainability,' marks the organization's centennial and outlines its environmental initiatives across air, land, and sea operations. The report covers topics including air quality, climate change, water quality, and operational improvements at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, such as the addition of three parallel runways designed to reduce flight delays and improve weather-related operating efficiency. It reflects the Port's broader commitment to responsible, sustainable growth over its second century of operation.

The 2011 Sustainable Aviation Fuels Northwest report examines how the Pacific Northwest region can develop and supply renewable alternative fuels for the aviation industry, reducing dependence on conventional jet fuel. Sponsored by Alaska Airlines, Boeing, the Port of Seattle, and other regional organizations, the report evaluates feedstocks such as oilseeds, forest residues, algae, and solid waste, along with the technologies and supply chains needed to bring these fuels to market.

The Port of Seattle Corporate Report 2010/2011 marks the port's 100th anniversary, tracing its history from its founding in 1911 through a century of growth in maritime shipping, air travel, and trade. The report highlights the port's financial performance, capital improvement projects, and environmental initiatives, including its recognition as 'The Green Gateway' for low-carbon maritime shipping practices. While the report covers the port's broad operations—including Seattle-Tacoma International Airport—it does not specifically address Sea-Tac Airport noise policy.

This is the Port of Seattle's Comprehensive Annual Financial Report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, prepared by the Port's Accounting and Financial Reporting Department. The report covers the financial activities of the Port of Seattle, a Washington State public agency that oversees Seattle-Tacoma International Airport and the seaport. It was published during the Port's centennial year, marking 100 years of operations from 1911 to 2011.

This document outlines the Runway Use Agreement between the FAA and the Port of Seattle at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (Sea-Tac), effective December 6, 2010. It establishes preferred runway assignments for arrivals and departures under various weather and traffic conditions, while making clear that safety and air traffic management always take priority. The agreement does not change existing FAA practices but aims to provide consistency and transparency for the public regarding how runways are used.
