    Environmental Justice Protocol: Seattle-Tacoma International Airport

    This document is an Environmental Justice Protocol prepared by Landrum & Brown, Incorporated for the Federal Aviation Administration and the Port of Seattle in June 2024. It addresses socioeconomics, environmental justice, and children's health considerations related to Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. The protocol provides a framework for evaluating how airport-related impacts may affect minority, low-income, and other vulnerable populations in surrounding communities.

    Highline Forum SAMP NTP Environmental Review Overview — Slide 4 (May 2024)

    A presentation slide titled 'Environmental review analysis based on constrained growth scenarios' shows a line chart comparing historical operations data (2011–2020), a 2022 unconstrained forecast, and two constrained growth scenarios—No Action and Proposed Action—projected through 2037. The Proposed Action constrained scenario reaches approximately 515,000 operations by 2037, while the No Action constrained scenario plateaus near 480,000, both falling well below the unconstrained 2022 forecast of approximately 560,000.

    Highline Forum SAMP NTP Environmental Review Overview — Page 2 (May 22, 2024)

    This presentation slide outlines near-term projects under the Sustainable Airport Master Plan, including expanded passenger processing facilities to accommodate a projected 56 Million Annual Passengers (MAP), additional cargo and fuel storage facilities, airfield infrastructure modifications to meet FAA design standards, and taxiway efficiency improvements. The mention of the Port's Sustainable Aviation Fuel initiative identifies this as a Port of Seattle document related to Seattle-Tacoma International Airport planning.

    Sustainable Airport Master Plan Near-Term Projects Environmental Review

    The Port of Seattle presented an environmental review of near-term construction projects at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport as part of its Sustainable Airport Master Plan. The projects include expanding passenger terminals and gates to handle a projected 56 million annual passengers, adding cargo and fuel storage facilities, and upgrading airfield infrastructure to meet current FAA safety standards. The review was presented to the Highline Forum in May 2024 by Senior Environmental Program Manager Steve Rybolt.

    SAMP NTP Environmental Review Overview — Aircraft Operations Forecast Chart (Page 4), May 2024

    A line graph comparing historical aircraft operations data (2011–2022) with forecast scenarios through 2037, including an unconstrained 2022 forecast, a No Action constrained scenario, and a Proposed Action constrained scenario. The chart shows operations declining sharply in 2020 (likely due to COVID-19) and recovering, with the Proposed Action scenario reaching approximately 520,000 operations and the No Action scenario capping near 485,000 operations by 2037.

Issues

Sea-Tac Airport is currently undergoing the largest and longest expansion in its history, collectively known as the Sustainable Airport Master Plan (SAMP). Some of it you can already hear, but you’re probably not aware of what it all means. Here’s what you need to know.

As the source for federal transportation grants, the Puget Sound Regional Council was charged with developing a system to meet the growing need for commercial aviation. When the search for a second airport failed, they authorized the Port of Seattle to build the Third Runway, with a mandate to develop a noise abatement and mitigation program. In their effort to stop the Third Runway, the ACC argued over every detail of the Port's efforts--including property buyouts and sound insulation. The dispute was meant to be settled by a three member Expert Arbitration Panel. This is their final report. It finds 2-1, that the Port's program was insufficient in several respects. Despite that, funding for the Third Runway was approved by the PSRC, and the 'Port Package' program, proceeded largely unchanged. Expert Arbitration Panel's final decision finding that the Port of Seattle had not shown sufficient reduction in real on-the-ground noise impacts to satisfy noise reduction conditions required for approval of a third runway at Sea-Tac International Airport. The majority decision concluded the Port's noise abatement programs were insufficient despite being impressive in scope.
