    Existing (2013) baseline noise exposure contour

    This exhibit from the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport 14 CFR Part 150 Study maps the existing 2013 baseline noise exposure contours around Sea-Tac Airport, showing DNL 65, 70, and 75 dBA noise zones across surrounding communities including SeaTac, Burien, Des Moines, and Tukwila. The DNL 65 dBA or greater contour covers approximately 5.9 square miles, encompassing an estimated 1,887 housing units and roughly 4,879 residents, along with 9 noise-sensitive facilities such as schools, churches, and hospitals. Notably, no housing units fall within the higher-impact DNL 70 dBA or above zones, though significant residential and commercial land uses exist within the broader 65 dBA contour area.

    Order Granting the Port Of Seattle’s Motion for Summary Judgment Based on Express Avigation Easements

    This is a proposed court order from the King County Superior Court in the case of Kebede Admasu et al. v. the Port of Seattle, in which the Port sought summary judgment against plaintiffs based on express avigation easements tied to Sea-Tac Airport. The order lists the numerous declarations and filings considered by the court, including submissions from both the Port and affected property owners. The case centers on whether recorded avigation easements legally shield the Port from noise and property-related claims brought by neighboring residents.

    Exhibit G-1: Future (2021) NEM/NCP Noise Exposure Contour

    This map, prepared by Landrum & Brown on January 22, 2013 as part of the 14 CFR Part 150 Study for Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, shows projected future (2021) noise exposure contours around Sea-Tac Airport at DNL 65, 70, and 75 dBA levels. The contours extend across surrounding communities including SeaTac, Burien, Des Moines, Tukwila, and portions of Renton and Kent, with sensitive land uses such as schools, churches, hospitals, and residential areas identified within the noise impact zones. The study was conducted to inform noise compatibility planning and policy decisions aimed at reducing aviation noise impacts on affected neighborhoods.

    Grid 5: 2013 Baseline Map

    This aerial map depicts the area surrounding Sea-Tac Airport, covering portions of Burien, Tukwila, and unincorporated King County in Washington State. It highlights key landmarks including Southern Heights Elementary School, Hilltop Elementary School, Rainier Golf and Country Club, and Glen Acres Country Club, along with major roadways such as SR 99, SR 599, and Des Moines Memorial Drive S. A purple corridor overlay traces what appears to be a noise-impact or flight-path study boundary through residential neighborhoods near the airport.

    Grid 4: 2013 Baseline Map — Sea-Tac Airport Area

    This aerial map shows the area surrounding Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, including the cities of Burien and SeaTac, with runway designations 16R, 16C, and 16L marked along the western edge. Two colored flight-path or noise-contour lines — one purple and one gold — are overlaid on the map, tracing routes that extend east through residential neighborhoods, parks such as Sunset Park and North SeaTac Softball Fields, and past landmarks including Glacier High School. The map appears to be part of a noise or flight-path policy study documenting how aircraft departure and arrival corridors affect surrounding communities along SR 518 and adjacent streets.
