    EXH AR024740: Internal Email — Section 4.3 Water Quality Facilities, Stormwater Mgmt RP

    A 1998 internal email exchange between Ken Ludwa and Kerry Ritland discusses edits to Section 4.3 of a stormwater management report related to Sea-Tac Airport. The section covers water quality facilities, explaining that new stormwater detention facilities would follow state Ecology guidelines using biofiltration and permanent water quality storage, while also complying with the Port's NPDES permit and Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP). Ken Ludwa agreed to edit the section to reference Appendix F – Water Quality BMP Analysis once that appendix was further developed.

    Glossary of Commonly Used Acoustic and Air Traffic Control Terms

    This Port of Seattle glossary defines key acoustic and air traffic control terms used in airport noise policy discussions. It explains measurements like decibels (dB), A-weighted decibels (dBA), and the Day-Night Noise Level (DNL), which is a 24-hour average used to map noise exposure around Sea-Tac Airport. It also covers Federal Aviation Regulations (Parts 36, 91, and 161) that govern aircraft noise standards, phase-out schedules for older noisy aircraft, and the process for airports to adopt new noise rules.

    Letter from Karen Keiser and Julia Patterson to Seattle Times Regarding Port Of Seattle Violation of Federal Grant Assurance C.6

    In a June 1998 letter to a Seattle Times reporter, Washington State legislators Karen Keiser and Julia Patterson urged media coverage of the Port of Seattle's violations of federal grant rules governing its noise remedy programs near Sea-Tac Airport. The State Auditor's Office confirmed the Port failed to obtain required written support from surrounding local jurisdictions, while auditors at Deloitte and Touche had repeatedly flagged the same violations without the Port taking corrective action. Over $130 million in federal funds had already been spent insulating and assisting homeowners, with an additional $11 million needed to redo 1,141 homes due to building-code violations that local consultation might have prevented.

    Letter Karen Keiser to Marc-Stiles Seattle-Times (from Port Of Seattle in violation of Federal Grant Assurance C6 Minnie O. Brasher

    A June 10, 1998 Washington State Legislature letter addressed to Marc Stiles, Reporter at the Seattle Times, detailing the State Auditor's Office confirmation that the Port of Seattle violated Federal Grant Assurance C.6 requirements by failing to secure written declarations of support from surrounding jurisdictions for Sea-Tac Airport noise remedy programs. The letter notes that over $100 million in federal grants had been spent on noise insulation for homes near Sea-Tac, and that Congressman Adam Smith had requested a GAO investigation into the matter.

Issues

Sea-Tac Airport is currently undergoing the largest and longest expansion in its history, collectively known as the Sustainable Airport Master Plan (SAMP). Some of it you can already hear, but you’re probably not aware of what it all means. Here’s what you need to know.

Read This!

As the source for federal transportation grants, the Puget Sound Regional Council was charged with developing a system to meet the growing need for commercial aviation. When the search for a second airport failed, they authorized the Port of Seattle to build the Third Runway, with a mandate to develop a noise abatement and mitigation program. In their effort to stop the Third Runway, the ACC argued over every detail of the Port's efforts--including property buyouts and sound insulation. The dispute was meant to be settled by a three member Expert Arbitration Panel. This is their final report. It finds 2-1, that the Port's program was insufficient in several respects. Despite that, funding for the Third Runway was approved by the PSRC, and the 'Port Package' program, proceeded largely unchanged. Expert Arbitration Panel's final decision finding that the Port of Seattle had not shown sufficient reduction in real on-the-ground noise impacts to satisfy noise reduction conditions required for approval of a third runway at Sea-Tac International Airport. The majority decision concluded the Port's noise abatement programs were insufficient despite being impressive in scope.
