Prepared under a grant from the State of Washingon by: Hellmuth, Obata + Kassabaum, Inc. Dallas, Texas Raytheon Infrastruction Services, Inc. Denver and Philadelphia APPENDIX A EQUITY ISSUES AND SOCIO-ECONOMIC IMPACTS A.01 - INTRODUCTION Equity issues related to the geographic distribution of Seattle-Tacoma International Airport's benefits and costs underpin the requirement for socioeconomic impact mitigation. Although a source of contention, it is arguable that socioeconomic benefits such as increased economic activity (jobs, income, and output) and social/cultural events (family visits, traveling performance companies and ease of recreational travel) generated by commercial aviation services taking place at Sea-Tac International Airport exceed the Airport's socioeconomic costs (noise, traffic congestion, a degraded environment for human habitat, adversely affected educational and social services, and a reduced tax base). However, the benefits are distributed over western Washington and the Puget Sound Region while the costs are localized in a small number of communities immediately surrounding the Airport. Consequently, there is a need for mitigation that redirects some of the Airport's benefits back to the communities that disproportionately bear its costs. Appendix A looks at the geographic area adversely affected by Sea-Tac International Airport's impacts and compares it to the places of origin of persons initiating commercial air service travel at Sea-Tac International Airport. It also analyses the Airport's economic benefits and how they affect the five impacted communities that are the focus of this study. The data base for the origin of enplaning passengers at Sea-Tac International Airport comes from a 1991 Origin/ Destination (O/D)…

A D e p a r t m e n t o f E c o l o g y R e p o r t Stormwater Erosion and Sediment Control WQ-R-93-013 1 For Large Parcel Construction Report #4 of 5 Ecology's Stormwater Technical Manual defines large parcels as those that involve land disturbing activities of one acre of more. Stormwater Erosion and Sediment Control For Large Parcel Construction The Problem In urban environments, construction sites are the primary cause of exposed soil. Sediment washes off areas of exposed soil, enters the local drainage ways and streams, contributes to localized flooding problems, and damages water quality. This report summarizes erosion and sediment control requirements for large parcel projects - defined as land disturbing activities of 1 acre or more. Note that owners/developers of individual, detached, single family residences and duplexes must comply with small parcel minimum requirements. Another report in this series summarizes requirements for small parcels. Responses in the Puget Sound Basin In an effort to improve water quality in the region, the Puget Sound Water Quality Management Plan (Puget Sound Plan) was adopted in 1987. One goal of the Puget Sound Plan, in conjunction with local and federal programs, is to reduce pollutant discharges from stormwater caused by development and construction activities. In response to the stormwater element of the Puget Sound Plan, the Washington State Department of Ecology (Ecology) developed minimum requirements for stormwater management. The minimum requirements, and methods for meeting them, are presented in the…
