    EXH AR023624: Roger Nye to Kathy Gerla — Ruling Request, Reinstatement Prepaid Position STIA

    A 1999 memo from Washington State Department of Ecology staff member Roger Nye to Assistant Attorney General Kathy Gerla raises legal questions about reinstating a full-time 'prepaid' regulatory position at Sea-Tac Airport, funded by the Port of Seattle. The memo outlines the history of the position from 1992–1996, noting it was cancelled due to the lack of a signed Agreed Order, and describes public concerns that the arrangement gave the Port undue influence over Ecology. Key issues flagged include whether the prepaid role can legally extend beyond the scope of an Agreed Order, whether a new Interagency Agreement is needed, and whether reinstatement would require a public comment period likely to draw strong opposition.

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.
