In 2001, the King County Superior Court issued findings of fact and conclusions of law in an eminent domain case where the Port of Seattle condemned a 2.44-acre parcel (Parcel 92) at 15416 Des Moines Memorial Drive in SeaTac to support its Third Runway project, using the land as a flood plain. The property, owned by RST Enterprises and zoned single-family residential (UL-7200), had been used for farming for at least 50 years and fell near the 65-70 LDN aircraft noise contours, making residential financing difficult. The court found that while a commercial rezone was possible long-term, it was not reasonably likely in the near future and would only have occurred due to the presence of the Third Runway.

This document outlines Washington State Department of Ecology conditions for accepting imported fill material used in construction of Sea-Tac Airport's Third Runway and associated Master Plan improvements. It requires the Port of Seattle to submit environmental assessments of fill sources — including records reviews, site reconnaissance, and soil sampling for hazardous substances such as arsenic, lead, and mercury — at least ten business days before placing any fill. Specific contamination limits (e.g., arsenic at 20 mg/kg, lead at 220/250 mg/kg) and minimum sampling schedules based on fill volume are established to prevent toxic materials from entering state waters and wetlands.
