    The sequence of additional home acquisitions under the Port of Seattle’s Noise Remedy Program has been established. In addition to a total of 788 homes that will have been acquired by October of this year, 524 more are scheduled to be purchased from 1986 through 1990. (See graph for location, number and sequence of homes to be acquired.) Of the 524 homes, 163 were designated for purchase under the Sea-Tac Communities Plan, which the Port Commission approved in 1976. These homes, located north of the airport, will be the first to be acquired. The rest of the homes to be acquired were selected under the Port’s recent Noise Remedy Update, based on extensive data identifying the noisiest areas around the airport. These homes, located north, south, east and west of the airport, will be purchased in groups to minimize the number of homes adversely affected by boundaries where acquired homes are adjacent to occupied homes. Within each group of homes, the order of acquisition will be established by determining which homes are most impacted by noise and following an orderly block-by-block buy-out. In cases involving medical or financial hardship, homes may be purchased out of order, but only within the group being purchased. For more information on the acquisition program, call the Port’s Acquisition and Relocation Office at 431-3497.

    The Port of Seattle has soundproofed 14 Sea-Tac area homes so far to minimize the noise impact from nearby aircraft. The soundproofing is part of the Port’s Demonstration Program to test the new remedies of noise insulation and home selling (“transaction”) assistance on a sample of about 20 homes in the area. The Demonstration Program will help solve technical and procedural problems before the Port carries out these remedies on potentially thousands of additional homes under its full-scale Noise Remedy Program over the next 15 years. People living in the newly noise-insulated homes generally are finding that the intensity of jet noise heard inside the house has decreased considerably as a result of the work. They report that they now can watch TV, talk on the telephone and hold conversations with fewer or no interruptions, and that sleep disturbance is minimized. Technical tests also are under way to measure the decrease in noise, and the results should be available soon. One of the noise-insulated homes was placed on the market under the transac­ tion (home selling) assistance part of the Demonstration Program early in November. It has tentatively been sold, with Port assistance in the form of partial payment of the real estate fee. This will be the first home to receive selling assistance under the Port’s Demonstration Program. As the noise insulation and home selling assistance elements of the Noise Remedy Program continue, participants will be selected from a list of homeowners Sea-Tac Forum Committee November meeting At the…
