A fisheries biologist hired by the Airport Communities Coalition reviewed the Port of Seattle's permit application for the Miller Creek Relocation Project, raising serious scientific concerns about the proposed construction near Sea-Tac Airport. The review found that the project design lacked supporting scientific citations and calculations, and concluded that summer water temperatures would likely exceed safe levels for cutthroat trout for several years until riparian vegetation matured. Additional concerns were raised about inadequate water flow depths and the risk of the stream running dry due to highly porous spawning gravels used in the channel design.
