    StART SIRRPP Update — Assessment Key Findings — Slide 16 (February 26, 2025)

    Presentation slide titled 'Assessment Key Findings' summarizing results of a sound insulation assessment: 99% of products installed prior to 2014 are past their expected useful life, lack of replacement parts limits resident maintenance, and all tested homes (including five Pre-1993) measured under 45dB DNL interior, with sound insulation packages deemed acoustically effective despite operational and appearance concerns.

    StART SIRRPP Update — Slide 2 (February 26, 2025)

    Commission Order 2024-04 directs the Port of Seattle to conduct an assessment of the effectiveness of previously installed Port-funded noise insulation packages, to be completed by end of 2024, involving outreach and data collection from property owners. The order authorized a tax levy-funded budget of $6.5 million, with $5 million set aside for design and construction associated with a Pilot Program.

    StART SIRRPP Update: Interior DNL Eligibility Threshold and Acoustic Testing Results — Slide 14 (February 26, 2025)

    Slide 14 of a presentation on acoustic testing for a Sea-Tac Airport noise insulation program, explaining that interior DNL (calculated as Exterior DNL minus Noise Level Reduction) is the eligibility metric, with a threshold of 45dB DNL. All 30 homes tested fell below the FAA's 45dB DNL interior noise threshold, including five Pre-1993 homes evaluated under the FAA re-insulation program.

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.
