    Regional Airport System Plan, 1980-2000, Central Puget Sound region

    ★ 32
    This 1980 draft report, produced by the Puget Sound Council of Governments, outlines a Regional Airport System Plan for the Central Puget Sound area covering the years 1980 to 2000. Funded by the Port of Seattle, the Washington State Department of Transportation, and the Federal Aviation Administration, the plan was developed to guide regional aviation policy and infrastructure decisions across King, Pierce, Snohomish, and Kitsap counties. It was prepared for review by the Standing Committee on Transportation and represents an early framework for managing air travel demand and airport development in the greater Seattle region.

    Resolution No. 3042, as amended: Interagency agreement with Puget Sound Council of Governments for long term air carrier system planning

    In April 1989, the Port of Seattle Commission passed Resolution No. 3042 authorizing the Executive Director to enter into an agreement with the Puget Sound Council of Governments (PSCOG) to develop a long-term regional air carrier system plan for the Puget Sound area. The resolution was prompted by a recognized need for additional air carrier capacity beyond the year 2000, following a 1988 Airspace Study Update of Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. The agreement allowed the Port to seek federal FAA funding and hire consultants to study long-term aviation capacity options for the region.

    Regional Transportation Plan airport system amendment draft environmental impact statement

    This 1987 Draft Environmental Impact Statement from the Puget Sound Council of Governments evaluates alternatives for expanding and managing the regional airport system in the Puget Sound area through the year 2020. It assesses the potentially significant environmental and economic impacts of various airport development scenarios, noting that all alternatives would affect both natural and human environments. The document concludes that no single alternative is clearly superior, and that extensive mitigation measures would be required to address environmental concerns regardless of which option is chosen.

    This 1987 Draft Environmental Impact Statement from the Puget Sound Council of Governments evaluates alternatives for expanding and managing the regional airport system through the year 2020, assessing their potential environmental and economic impacts. The study found that all alternatives would generate significant impacts to both natural and human environments, with the key difference being whether those impacts would be concentrated at existing airports or spread across new locations. Extensive mitigation measures were identified as necessary for any chosen alternative, and no single option was found to be clearly superior to the others.

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.
