This library catalog covers documents received in 1990 and 1992 relating to aviation planning and noise policy in the Puget Sound region, with a focus on Sea-Tac Airport. Key items include environmental impact statements for the 'Vision 2020' and 'Flight Plan Project' plans, Sea-Tac noise exposure map updates, community association comments on airport expansion, and technical reports on aircraft modifications. The catalog records each document's title, author or agency, original publication date, and accession date, and notes donor information where applicable.

This is a library catalog sheet listing documents received in 1990 related to regional planning and community concerns in the Seattle-Tacoma area. It includes two versions of the 'Vision 2020' environmental impact statement published by the Puget Sound Regional Council (PSRC), as well as a community document titled 'The Injustice of It All' authored by a group called Enraged Housewives. The catalog was originally created in June 1998 and last revised in August 2002.

A study commissioned by the Puget Sound Regional Council to assess the financial feasibility of establishing a funding mechanism for acquiring and redeveloping properties adversely impacted by regionally significant essential public facilities. The study examines case study areas near the Auburn Rail Yard, Sea-Tac International Airport, and the proposed Everett 112th Street SE HOV Lanes

In July 1996, the Puget Sound Regional Council General Assembly adopted an amendment to the 1995 Metropolitan Transportation Plan for the Central Puget Sound Region, with updates taking effect August 2, 1996. The amendment includes key changes related to aviation, notably the addition of a new Appendix G outlining air transportation noise reduction measures and the steps for implementing and monitoring them. These changes, which required a formal Port of Seattle resolution to activate, were set to be fully incorporated into the updated Metropolitan Transportation Plan in 1998.

Resolution A-96-02 adopted by the Puget Sound Regional Council (PSRC) General Assembly on July 11, 1996, amending the 1995 Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP) and Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) to include plans for a third runway at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport with additional noise reduction measures.

The Puget Sound Regional Council held a General Assembly Meeting on July 11, 1996, at the Seattle Center Flag Pavilion to consider a key policy action: an amendment to the Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP) that would include plans for Sea-Tac Airport expansion along with additional noise reduction measures. The meeting included a public comment period from 2:00–3:30 p.m., allowing community members up to three minutes each to speak, followed by assembly deliberations and a vote on the proposed amendment. This document reflects a formal regional planning effort to balance airport growth with mitigation of noise impacts on surrounding communities.

In July 1996, the Puget Sound Regional Council adopted Resolution A-96-02, amending the region's Metropolitan Transportation Plan to include plans for a third runway at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, paired with additional noise reduction measures. The decision followed years of study, including an Expert Panel finding that neither demand management strategies nor high-speed rail could eliminate the need for expanded capacity. Final approval of the runway remained contingent on environmental review by the Port of Seattle, Federal Aviation Administration permitting, and completion of required noise mitigation steps.
