Port of Seattle – Seattle-Tacoma International Airport March 13, 2009 PURPOSE of this Fact Sheet This fact sheet explains and documents the decisions the Department of Ecology (Ecology) made in drafting the proposed National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit for the Port of Seattle, Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (STIA). The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) developed the NPDES permitting program as a tool to “restore and maintain the chemical, physical, and biological integrity of the Nation’s waters.” EPA delegated to Ecology the power and duty to write, issue, and enforce NPDES permits within Washington State. Both state and federal laws require any industrial facility to obtain a permit before discharging waste or chemicals to a water body. An NPDES permit limits the types and amounts of pollution the Permittee may discharge. Those limits are based either on (1) the pollution control or wastewater treatment technology available to the industry, or on (2) the receiving water’s customary beneficial uses. This fact sheet complies with Section 173-220-060 of the Washington Administrative Code (WAC), which requires Ecology to prepare a draft permit and accompanying fact sheet for public evaluation before issuing an NPDES permit. PUBLIC ROLE in the Permit Ecology makes the draft permit and fact sheet available for public review and comment at least thirty (30) days before we issue the final permit to the facility operator (WAC 173-220-050). Copies of the fact sheet and draft permit for the Port of Seattle, Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, NPDES permit WA-002465-1, were available for public review…

FROM: Elizabeth Leavitt, Director Aviation Planning & Environmental Programs Wayne Grotheer, Director Aviation Project Management SUBJECT: Update on Planning for Sea-Tac Airport International Arrivals Facility (IAF) SYNOPSIS: International passenger activity at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (Airport) requiring Federal Inspection Services (FIS) clearance has grown 59 percent since 2004. Also since 2004, international arrival activity has concentrated in the mid-day peak. This peak has increased from three to seven wide-body flights with 116 percent more passengers requiring FIS clearance. These increases are welcome news, but they significantly strain capacity and degrade the passenger experience in the aging and inadequate international arrivals facilities of the Airport’s South Satellite. The Port’s Century Agenda focuses Airport resources to advance the Puget Sound region as a leading tourism and business gateway. Part of this strategy is the doubling of the number of international flights and destinations over the next 25 years. Each new international flight provides significant economic benefit to the region, and spending by international visitors supports tourism and travel as a major U.S. industry. The Commission has directed staff to report back with bold ideas to accomplish Century Agenda objectives. This briefing will update the Commission on continued planning to define and evaluate alternatives for improvement of the Airport’s international arrivals facilities to ensure continued growth and deliver exceptional customer service. The estimated cost for building a new international arrivals facility ranges from $250 million to $400 million at this early stage. We will have better cost estimates by the end of the year.…

The Port of Seattle... A working waterfront The Port of Seattle is the 6th largest port in the United States, and the Pacific Northwest is the third largest load center in North America. Our four container terminals cover over 500 acres. Our container line customers operate services to/from Asia, Europe, Latin America, Oceania, Africa, the Caribbean, Hawaii and Alaska. To see container operations, several port parks offer excellent viewpoints. Before you go, please note the access hours for each park. Hours may vary due to weather or maintenance. You can reference the ship schedule on our website at www.portseattle.org/Cargo/SeaCargo to determine if a vessel is due in port the day of your visit. Why a working waterfront is important A strong working port is vital to the economic health of King County and Washington state; one in three jobs in Washington state are tied to international trade. The Port of Seattle Seaport is instrumental in producing family-wage jobs that are a key driver of job growth and economic prosperity. The port does this by creating 21,695 direct jobs with $1.6 billion of personal income, as well as 7,845 indirect jobs and 26,716 induced jobs resulting in $2.5 billion of business revenue and $457.5 million state and local taxes.

RE: Port of Seattle CEO’s Service on Board of Directors of Expeditors International (ATTORNEY-CLIENT CONFIDENTIAL)

On February 14, 2012, the Port of Seattle Commission (“Commission”) passed a motion that identified Concessions Program Goals at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (“Airport”) and provided policy direction to the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) for implementing airport concessions leases as part of a “Concessions Master Plan” during the period 2015-2017. Subsequent to this action, the Commission, the CEO and airport managers have continued to discuss the scope and intent of this policy. An important aspect of the airport concessions program is the Airport Concessions Disadvantaged Business Enterprise Program, whose participants are hereafter known as “ACDBEs.” Today there are 23 ACDBE concession units at the Airport. All 23 of these businesses are certified as ACDBEs in accordance with Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations. The Port Commission wishes to provide an opportunity to discuss with the Port staff, the ACDBEs, and members of the public, a new approach for executing future leases with ACDBE concessionaires. Therefore, this motion identifies specific policy provisions that will be compatible with the Commission’s goals for ACDBE concessions. Furthermore, this motion defines the Commission intent as expressed in the February 14, 2012, motion that the Airport Concessions ACDBE participation goal will be expanded to create more ACDBE opportunities throughout the duration of the concessions leases. Motion 1) As the Airport Concessions Program undergoes changes from 2015 to 2017, the Commission supports increasing the goal for ACDBE participation in the Airport concessions program to 30 percent, consistent with all requirements under the law. 2) When their current leases expire,…
