    FAA Review Comments on Draft Sea-Tac Noise Exposure Update Report: Letter to Jody Yamanaka

    A December 17, 1981 letter from FAA Acting Chief Mark A. Beisse to the Port of Seattle summarizes the FAA's major review comments on the draft Sea-Tac Noise Exposure Update Report. The letter identifies multiple deficiencies in the draft, including inadequate coverage of flight track variance ranges, INM model verification, portable noise meter data, and noise impact projections under different operational scenarios. The FAA requested that these issues be addressed in the final report and asked the Port to clarify whether certain project tasks, such as a population and land use survey, would be dropped from the study.

    Crash Fire Rescue (CFR) Vehicles, Information Regarding

    A 1981 Port of Seattle internal memorandum from the Director of Aviation recommends replacing two aging Crash Fire Rescue vehicles (Red 193 and Red 196) at Sea-Tac Airport, which had been out of service roughly 20% of the time since their 1977 purchase and would each require $170,000 in repairs. The memo also recommends acquiring a new Rapid Intervention Vehicle, as suggested by FAA inspectors. Funding of $1 million was already included in the Airport's 1982 Capital Budget, to be supplemented by proceeds from selling the two problem vehicles.

    Exhibit 1-1 from the Port of Seattle's Sea-Tac International Airport Noise Exposure Update, showing four panels of DNL (Ldn) noise contour maps at the 65, 70, and 75 dB levels for the years 1980, 1985, 1990, and 2000. The contours illustrate the projected lateral and longitudinal extent of aircraft noise impact around the airport's runway alignment over those two decades.

    Port Of Seattle Letter to Zone III Committee: Invitation to Join Sea-Tac/Boeing Field Airspace Study Advisory Committee

    In October 1981, the Port of Seattle invited the Zone III Committee to join an Advisory Committee for the Sea-Tac International Airport and Boeing Field Airspace Study, which aimed to examine how shared airspace between the two airports affected capacity and congestion. Advisory Committee members would be expected to review study materials, monitor progress, and relay information between the study team and their organizations, meeting no more than eight times over 12 months. The first meeting was scheduled for November 5, 1981, at the Federal Aviation Administration Building at Boeing Field.

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.
