In this October 24, 2001 letter, the Port of Seattle notified the Washington Department of Ecology of a mathematical error discovered in hydrological modeling software used to assess the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport Master Plan's impacts on Miller and Walker Creeks. The error caused stream flow impacts to be overestimated at 1/24th of their actual value, meaning required mitigation facilities could be smaller than originally planned. As a result, the Port requested an extension of the Low Streamflow Analysis submittal deadline from November 5 to November 21, 2001.

Washington State Department of Ecology reply brief filed before the Pollution Control Hearings Board (PCHB No. 01-160) opposing Airport Communities Coalition’s (ACC) arguments against Ecology’s motion to strike attorney-client privileged documents. Ecology argues the privilege is not ‘at issue’ under Pappas v. Holloway (114 Wn.2d 198) and Hearn v. Rhay (68 F.R.D. 574), and that

This document contains an email chain from October 2001 coordinating a technical meeting among Port of Seattle staff and consultants to discuss low flow modeling issues at Sea-Tac Airport. The meeting, held on October 30, 2001 at Floyd Snider McCarthy's Seattle office, was scheduled to cover a low flow modeling error, revised modeling results and their effects on low flow reserve vaults, and potential additional modeling changes suggested by a Norm Crawford review. Key participants included Port of Seattle Water Resources Manager Keith Smith, consultant Kate Snider, and several other technical staff and engineers.
