June 30, 1997 letter from Washington Governor Gary Locke to U.S. Department of Transportation Secretary Rodney Slater reaffirming state certification under 49 U.S.C. 47101 for the Sea-Tac Airport third runway development project. Supersedes December 20, 1996 letter from Ecology Director Mary Riveland to Dennis Ossenkop. Port of Seattle required to: obtain air and water quality

This June 1997 report, prepared by the Port of Seattle for Washington State's Department of Ecology, presents storm water receiving environment monitoring results conducted under NPDES Permit No. WA-002465-1. It covers water quality topics including instream toxicity bioassays, sediment quality, identification of pollution sources, metals speciation, vegetation management, and streambank erosion in Miller Creek and Des Moines Creek watersheds near Sea-Tac Airport. The findings assess the environmental impact of airport storm water runoff on local waterways and identify contributing pollution sources within each creek basin.

Final Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (SEIS) dated May 1997, prepared jointly by the FAA Northwest Mountain Region (responsible official Dennis Ossenkop) and Port Of Seattle (SEPA contact Barbara Hinkle), for proposed Master Plan Update development actions at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. Covers proposed 8,500-foot third parallel runway (Runway 16X/34X) located 2,500 feet west of existing Runway

Resolution No. 3245 from the Port of Seattle Commission reaffirms approval of a Master Plan Update for Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (Sea-Tac), authorizing construction of a new third dependent runway, an expanded parking garage, and a new north employee parking lot. The resolution follows years of regional studies, public hearings, and environmental impact reviews concluding that a third runway is necessary to address growing air traffic demand and poor-weather delays caused by the close spacing of the two existing runways. The Port also reaffirms commitments to additional noise reduction measures for surrounding communities, in accordance with Puget Sound Regional Council Resolution A-96-02.

Letter dated December 18, 1996 from Barbara Hinkle, Senior Environmental Specialist, Port Of Seattle, to Jack Kennedy, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Seattle District Office, submitting a Section 404 Application to place fill material into waters of the United States at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport associated with the Master Plan Update. Covers background on the Puget

In December 1996, the Port of Seattle submitted a Section 404 permit application to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to place fill material into wetlands at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport as part of its Master Plan Update, which included construction of a third parallel runway. The proposed runway, located 2,500 feet west of the existing runways, was intended to address severe arrival delays during poor weather conditions, which reduced airport capacity from 60 to as few as 24 arrivals per hour roughly 44% of the year. The application was the result of nearly a decade of regional planning, environmental review, and public involvement, including studies confirming that no feasible supplemental airport sites existed in the four-county region.
