Resolution EB-94-01 adopted October 27, 1994 by the Puget Sound Regional Council (PSRC) Executive Board, affirming the General Assembly’s Resolution A-93-03 approving a third all-weather runway at Sea-Tac International Airport. The Executive Board determined no feasible sites exist for a major supplemental airport in the four-county region and that further supplemental airport studies should not

This Avigation Easement, granted by property owners Robert P. Dobosh and Shelly Arebalo-Dobosh to the Port of Seattle, gives the Port permanent, non-exclusive rights to unrestricted aircraft flight over their residential property at 15049 32nd Place S in SeaTac, Washington. The easement was granted in exchange for the Port's noise-reduction modifications to the home under Washington State law (R.C.W. 53.54.030), and establishes a baseline noise level of 67 DNL for the parcel based on the Port's 1991 FAA-accepted noise contour map. The easement runs permanently with the land, binding all future owners and waiving their rights to claim damages from aircraft noise or related airport activities.

This August 1994 report, prepared by the Federal Aviation Administration Technical Center in Atlantic City, New Jersey, presents technical data collected as part of the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport Capacity Enhancement Design Team Study. It is the sixth in a series of data packages examining airport capacity and delay simulation at Sea-Tac, with findings subject to revision as the design team's analysis continued. The document serves as an interim reference for planners and researchers studying runway and airspace capacity improvements at the airport.

This 1994 document is a Response to Comments on a proposed National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) wastewater discharge permit issued to the Port of Seattle for Sea-Tac International Airport. It summarizes public feedback gathered at meetings in Des Moines and Normandy Park, Washington, addressing topics such as storm water management, effluent limitations, spill plans, and pollution prevention at the airport. The document reflects the Department of Ecology's review of industrial wastewater, cooling water, and storm water discharges from airport operations including aircraft maintenance, fueling, and de-icing activities.

This archival record (Box 01290, Historical Box 1322) contains administrative files from 1992–1994 related to Sea-Tac Airport planning and noise policy, including litigation documents, Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) comments on a proposed third runway, capacity enhancement plans, and correspondence from citizens, city officials, and state agencies. It also includes records tied to Implementation Resolution A-93-03, covering communications with groups such as Apogee, Bricklin Gendler, and the Airport Communities Coalition. The files were prepared by Angie Daniels and are classified under the Department Subject Files record series.

This March 1994 Final Environmental Impact Statement, prepared jointly by the Federal Aviation Administration's Seattle Airports District Office and the Port of Seattle, evaluates the proposed South Aviation Support Area at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. The document assesses the potential environmental effects of developing aviation support facilities in the southern portion of the airport, covering impacts such as noise, land use, and related concerns. It was produced as part of the federally required environmental review process before any major airport infrastructure decisions could be approved.

Seattle-Tacoma International Airport operates one of the nation's most comprehensive airport noise management programs, divided into Noise Abatement measures — such as restricting noisy Stage 2 jets at night, controlling ground engine use, and routing flights over fewer homes — and Noise Remedy programs that help affected residents through home sound insulation, sales assistance, and a relocation program that has already moved over 3,900 people. The Port of Seattle also maintains a 24-hour noise complaint hotline and an 11-station monitoring system to track and reduce noise levels around the airport. Residents can contact the Port directly for information, to report concerns, or to learn about eligibility for free home insulation.
