    Sustainable Airport Master Plan Near-Term Projects: Land Use Technical Report

    This Land Use Technical Report, prepared by Landrum & Brown for the Port of Seattle in January 2024, examines how near-term construction projects outlined in the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport Sustainable Airport Master Plan align with existing and planned land use regulations in surrounding communities. The report reviews local plans from cities including SeaTac, Des Moines, Burien, and Tukwila, as well as a 2018 Interlocal Agreement between the Port and the City of SeaTac, to assess potential land use impacts of the proposed airport expansion alternatives. It concludes by evaluating the consistency of the proposed action and a hybrid terminal option with applicable local and regional planning policies.

    Attachment 4f: Scoping Comments Received — Actual Comments with Assigned Topic Code

    This document contains scoping comments submitted to the Port of Seattle regarding the Sustainable Airport Master Plan (SAMP) environmental review process, compiled by the Quiet Skies Coalition. Community members raised concerns about the lack of long-term human health and environmental impact studies related to aircraft noise and emissions, questioning why the Port had not studied the effects of a four-year increase of 97,000 additional annual flights. The comments request comprehensive assessments covering neighborhoods such as Des Moines, Burien, Tukwila, and Normandy Park, and call for the Port to include worldwide scientific studies on the health effects of aircraft noise and pollution in its environmental review.

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.
