1987-12-01RASP 1988 DEIS Executive Summary
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. -
1987-12-01Regional 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 the regional airport system in the Puget Sound area through the year 2020. The study found that all alternatives would generate significant impacts to both natural and human environments, including noise and land-use concerns, with the key distinction being whether those impacts would be concentrated at existing airport sites or spread across new locations. No single alternative was found to be clearly superior, and the report called for extensive mitigation measures and further site-specific analysis to guide final decision-making. -

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. -
1987-10-01Regional Airport System Plan 1988-2020: Air transportation element of the Regional Transportation Plan
The 1988-2020 Regional Airport System Plan, published in October 1987, outlines policies for managing and developing public-use airports across King, Kitsap, Pierce, and Snohomish counties through the year 2020. A central finding is that Sea-Tac Airport was projected to reach full capacity within 10 to 15 years, with intolerable aircraft delays expected unless alternative measures were taken. The plan also addresses noise and flight track mitigation programs, land use compatibility near airports, and the potential role of satellite airports such as Paine Field, Bremerton National, and Tacoma Narrows in relieving pressure on Sea-Tac.
