2001-05-24Destination 2030: Regional context
The central Puget Sound region, located between the Cascade and Olympic mountain ranges and bisected by Puget Sound, faces significant transportation and infrastructure challenges driven by rapid population growth. The region's population grew from 1.5 million in 1960 to 3.2 million by 2000, with projections estimating 4.7 million residents and 2.6 million jobs by 2030. Economic expansion, particularly in aerospace and high-technology sectors, has been a primary driver of this growth, placing increasing demands on the region's transportation systems and natural resources. -
2001-04-30EXH AR023204: Memo — Black River Quarry Aggregate Testing (TPH & Metals)
A Port of Seattle memo from April 2001 summarizes environmental testing of rock aggregate imported from the Black River Quarry for use in the Third Runway embankment project. Testing by environmental consultant AMEC found petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH) and elevated copper levels in some samples, prompting operational changes at the quarry including equipment cleaning and discarding the first hundred tons of rock after asphalt recycling operations. Follow-up testing confirmed that contaminant levels fell below MTCA Method A cleanup standards, and the Port halted material imports from the quarry in mid-October 2000 pending resolution. -
