TO: M. R. Dinsmore, Chief Executive Officer FROM: Diane Summerhays, Manager, Community Development, Aviation Division Jazzi Richardson, Manager, Noise Remedy Program SUBJECT: Request for authorization for the Chief Executive Officer; Director, Aviation Division; Manager, Community Development; and Manager, Noise Remedy, to execute all documents necessary to implement the insulation of 98 single family residences located in the 2010 65 Day Night level (DNL) noise contour which were built before December 3, 1986 for the City of Des Moines and September 6, 1987 for King County at an estimated cost of $3,692,914. BUSINESS STRATEGIES FOR 2003-2007 This request supports the Port’s business strategies to “Enhance Public Understanding and Support of the Port’s Role in the Region” and “Exhibit Environmental Stewardship through our Actions”. BACKGROUND The Port’s sound insulation program for single-family residences has been under way since 1985 and is nearing completion. The 1997 Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) on Sea-Tac Airport’s Master Plan Update and the Federal Aviation Administration’s Record of Decision identified 107 residences that would be affected by a 1.5 DNL or greater increase in noise from operations of the 3rd runway. This program was approved by Port Commission in Resolution No. 3125. Further assessment of the 107 single-family residences identified 98 as eligible for sound attenuation. PREVIOUS COMMISSION REVIEW/ACTION December 31, 1997 – Resolution No. 3125 The Port commits to a number of actions, including the completion of all single-family residential insulation required as a result of actions taken based on the site-specific EIS.

Application Nos. Shoreline Conditional Use Permit DDES File L02SH012 Shoreline Substantial Development Permit DDES File L02SH013 Applicant: Northwest Aggregates (also known as Glacier Northwest) Date of Decision: March 16, 2004 INTRODUCTION/BACKGROUND: Applicant�s Project Description: The applicant�s overall project proposal is to annually mine and export, using up to 10,000-ton barges, approximately 7.5 million tons (5.5 million cubic yards) of sand and gravel, from a 235-acre site located on the eastern edge of Maury Island, King County, Washington (within portions of Section 28 and 29, Township 22N, Range 3E). Up to 193 acres would be mined over 11 to 50 years, depending upon the rate of extraction. The rate would vary with market demand. Bulldozers would excavate materials by pushing materials from the slope tops down to collection points, where material would be placed on a collection feeder. The feeder would load a conveyor belt, which would then deliver materials to waiting barges, tended by tugs, at the end of the loading dock. Glacier Northwest initially requested a shoreline exemption for repairs and upgrades to the existing barge and conveyor system, which would make these features operational for the proposed exporting excavated materials. The conveyer system would be substantially replaced. The dock is likewise in substantial disrepair and has become overgrown with trees and bushes protruding through the structures. Glacier argued that this proposal was exempt from shoreline permit requirements as �normal and routine maintenance and SHORELINE REPORT AND DECISION FILE NUMBERS L02SH012 & L02SH013 PAGE 2 repair.� King County denied…

Miller, Walker, and Salmon Creek Basin Plan Second Salmon Creek Public Meeting (March 11, 2004) WE’D LIKE TO HEAR YOUR IDEAS! Given that no fish have been seen for approximately 20 years, how important is it to attempt to restore fish runs in Salmon Creek? If ten times the number of salmon could be restored to Miller and Walker Creek for one- half the cost, does it make sense to worry about Salmon Creek? Name: Address: Phone: Email: Salmon Creek Public Meeting #2 (March 11, 2004) Comment Request Form Please mail to the following address: Or e-mail comments to bruce.bennett@metrokc.gov Bruce Bennett King County DNRP, Suite 700 201 S Jackson St. Seattle, WA 98104-3855 What should the ultimate restoration goal be for Lake Hicks? Fishing? Swimming? What do you think are the relative priorities of all of the projects suggested? How much additional funding are you willing to provide through increases in taxes and fees? mailto:bruce.bennett@metrokc.gov
