This document is Appendix R of the Sea-Tac Airport Master Plan Update Final Environmental Impact Statement (EIS), containing official responses to public comments received during a 90-day comment period in 1995. Two public hearings gathered testimony on topics including noise impacts, land use, air quality, and surface transportation. A key finding was that airport activity levels were expected to grow regardless of whether improvements were built, driven by regional population and income growth rather than airport capacity alone.

This 1996 Memorandum of Agreement establishes a 24-month air quality monitoring program near Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, involving the Port of Seattle, FAA, EPA, Washington State Department of Ecology, and the Puget Sound Air Pollution Control Agency. The program, funded at $195,000, focuses on measuring carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, and aircraft fuel particle residue to establish baseline air quality data and evaluate potential pollution impacts from planned airport expansion projects. The Port agreed not to proceed with expansion elements projected to cause carbon monoxide standard violations until monitoring is complete and, if necessary, mitigation measures are identified.
