A water resources consultant raised concerns in a July 2001 letter to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and Washington State Department of Ecology about the Port of Seattle's stormwater management plans for Sea-Tac Airport expansion. The letter challenged the effectiveness of proposed biofiltration swales, noting they can actually increase bacterial levels rather than reduce them, and warned that releasing stored stormwater from detention vaults into nearby Class AA streams could discharge pollutant-laden, oxygen-depleted water into already stressed waterways. The consultant concluded that the Port's plans fell short of providing reasonable assurance that water quality standards would be met.

In a July 18, 2001 memo to Governor Gary Locke, Washington State Department of Ecology Director Tom Fitzsimmons provided an update on the permitting process for the Port of Seattle's proposed Third Runway at Sea-Tac Airport.
