This December 1998 internal memorandum from Justin Kophs to Linda Logan outlines options for developing a site-specific copper translator for the Port of Seattle, summarizing EPA guidance on dissolved and total recoverable metal sampling studies. It describes recommended approaches including field partitioning studies, historical data equations, and laboratory mixing tests to measure how copper partitions between dissolved and total recoverable forms in receiving water. The memo notes that while a site-specific translator improves compliance measurement accuracy, it cannot be used to influence permit limits in the same way as a Water Effect Ratio (WER).

This catalog lists documents published or issued in 1997 related to Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (Sea-Tac), covering topics such as master plan updates, environmental impact statements, noise exposure studies, and water quality reports. Key items include FAA Records of Decision, draft and final Supplemental Environmental Impact Statements, FAR Part 150 Noise Exposure and Land Use Compatibility Studies, and public comments from regional commissions and advocacy groups. The collection serves as a reference archive for researchers and stakeholders interested in Sea-Tac Airport's development, noise policy, and environmental compliance during the late 1990s.

This is a catalog of 27 documents acquired by a library or archive in 1998, covering topics related to Seattle-Tacoma International Airport and its surrounding communities. The collection includes environmental reports, noise studies, NPDES water-quality permits, stormwater monitoring data, FAA safety materials, and a third-runway geotechnical study, as well as community-focused documents addressing aircraft noise impacts on local schools and residential areas. Each entry lists the document title, author or agency, original publication date, and the date it was added to the collection.

Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) for Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (Sea-Tac Airport), prepared by Port Of Seattle, originally November 1998 with Revision 1 (April 1999) and Revision 2 (December 2001). AR 052594. Covers drainage system description, potential pollution sources and Best Management Practices (BMPs) for aircraft servicing, ground anti-icing/deicing of roads and paved surfaces, snow storage,

This November 1998 report presents the Annual Stormwater Monitoring Report for Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, covering the period from June 1, 1997 through June 30, 1998, prepared by the Port of Seattle. It documents stormwater sampling results from various airport subbasins, including measurements of pollutants such as metals, oils, grease, fecal coliforms, and deicing chemicals. The report also evaluates the performance of Best Management Practices (BMPs) implemented across the airport to manage and reduce stormwater contamination.

Annual Stormwater Monitoring Report for Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (STIA) covering the period June 1, 1997 through June 30, 1998, prepared by Port of Seattle, received by Washington State Department of Ecology on December 1, 1998 (AR 033384). Report covers stormwater sampling results from airport subbasins including SDN2, SDS1, SDE4, and Taxi Yard; analytes include fats/oils/grease

This Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP), prepared by the Port of Seattle for Seattle-Tacoma International Airport in November 1998 (with revisions through December 2001), outlines strategies and best management practices (BMPs) to prevent pollutants from contaminating stormwater runoff at Sea-Tac Airport. The plan covers a range of potential pollution sources including aircraft servicing, deicing operations, spills, construction sites, and vehicle maintenance, and describes the airport's drainage systems and inspection requirements under its NPDES permit. It serves as a regulatory compliance document ensuring that airport operations minimize their impact on local water quality.

A 1998 fax from Parametrix, Inc. to the Port of Seattle discusses water quality concerns related to copper in stormwater runoff at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. The document outlines that while standard Best Management Practices (BMPs) can remove most metals from stormwater, copper remains a persistent challenge due to its widespread presence from sources like automobile brakes and rooftops. It raises questions about compliance requirements, the cost of installing sand or compost filters (potentially up to $100 million), and how the Port and Washington State Department of Ecology can reach a workable agreement on stormwater discharge standards.

In October 1998, Lawrence Corvari, Co-President of Citizens Against Seatac Expansion (CASE), filed a declaration in King County Superior Court supporting a petition for a writ of review against the Port of Seattle. The declaration states that CASE directed its attorneys to appeal the Port's SEPA Determination of Non-Significance (DNS) related to the Auburn Mitigation Project, arguing that the Port's failure to comply with environmental review requirements harmed both the organization's members and the Miller Creek Basin environment.
