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.

This catalog lists documents received in 1992 related to aviation planning and noise policy in the Puget Sound region, with a focus on Sea-Tac International Airport (STIA). It includes environmental impact statements, noise exposure maps, community association comments, budget documents, and FAA regulatory guides, many connected to the 'Flight Plan Project' — a regional air transportation study. Several items were donated by attorney J. Richard Aramburu and other community stakeholders involved in airport noise and development issues.

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

This 1997 Puget Sound Regional Council study examines the financial feasibility of acquiring and redeveloping properties negatively affected by major regional transportation facilities, including Sea-Tac International Airport, the Auburn Rail Yard, and a proposed Everett HOV facility. It evaluates potential funding mechanisms—such as a state-financed revolving fund or public/private partnerships—to convert noise-impacted land within the 65–75 DNL noise contours to compatible non-residential uses. The study covers roughly 100 acres across three case-study areas and was initiated under Regional Council Resolution A-96-02 adopted in July 1996.

Port Of Seattle Commission Resolution No. 3245 reaffirms adoption of the Airport Master Plan Update for Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (STIA), authorizes construction of a new dependent air carrier runway (third runway) located 2500 feet west of existing runway 16L/34R, expansion of the existing parking garage, and a new north employee parking lot.

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 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.

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.
