    Seattle Times 24 hours of arrivals at Sea-Tac Greener Skies not implemented on west side of zipper merge

    A flight-track map published by The Seattle Times (graphic by Emily M. Eng, sources: Port of Seattle and Esri) showing all arriving flights at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport on September 24, 2018. The graphic illustrates that the Greener Skies plan's westside-arrival procedure had not been implemented as designed, with planes flying up to 15 miles farther north than intended rather than turning over Elliott Bay and downtown Seattle.

    NTP environmental review schedule

    The Port of Seattle outlined an environmental review schedule for the NTP (Noise Trajectory Program) at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, spanning 2018 to 2019. Key steps included public scoping meetings held in September 2018 in cities such as Des Moines, Seattle, Federal Way, and Sea-Tac, followed by environmental analysis and the release of draft and final NEPA/SEPA documents through late 2019. Community members could submit scoping comments by September 28, 2018, via the project website, email, mail, or in person at scoping meetings.

    Aviation Noise Working Group facilitator’s meeting summary

    The StART Aviation Noise Working Group held its first meeting on August 16, 2018, bringing together community stakeholders, airlines, the FAA, and Port of Seattle representatives to discuss strategies for reducing noise around Sea-Tac Airport. The group reviewed potential near-term actions including a Runway Use Agreement, a Nighttime Voluntary Curfew, Glide Slope and Optimized Profile Descent Analysis, and an Airfield Noise/Reverse Thrust Assessment. Members agreed to meet monthly and identified next steps such as gathering night operations data and drafting a work program to evaluate each noise-reduction strategy.

    Avigation Easement

    This Avigation Easement is a legal agreement in which a homeowner near Seattle-Tacoma International Airport grants the Port of Seattle permanent rights to use the airspace above their property for all types of aircraft, without restriction on frequency or proximity. In exchange, the Port assists with noise-reduction modifications to the home, and the homeowner waives all current and future claims for noise-related damages. The easement runs with the land permanently, binding all future owners of the property to the same terms.

    Federal Way Mayor’s Quiet and Healthy Skies Task Force Report

    The Federal Way Mayor's Quiet and Healthy Skies Task Force Report (August 2018) examines the noise and health impacts of Seattle-Tacoma International Airport's Third Runway on Federal Way neighborhoods. It presents runway usage statistics from 2007–2017 showing a dramatic rise in flight operations, and references a 1997 impact mitigation study that identified over $148 million in recommended sound insulation and avigation easements for Federal Way communities affected by overflight noise.

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.
