    Sea-Tac Communities Plan background and environmental findings

    This document summarizes the Sea-Tac Communities Plan, a 1973 joint study by the Port of Seattle and King County to improve compatibility between Sea-Tac International Airport and its surrounding neighborhoods. The plan examined aircraft noise exposure, air and water quality, and community growth, finding that noise levels were expected to decrease over time due to quieter aircraft technology despite rising flight operations. It proposed a range of noise remedy programs—including property acquisition, purchase guarantees, and insulation assistance—affecting thousands of homes in areas north and south of the airport.

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.

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.
