2024-06-01Appendix B: SAMP – Near-Term Projects: Purpose and Need Technical Report
This technical report, prepared by Landrum & Brown for the Port of Seattle in June 2024, outlines the purpose and need for near-term construction and improvement projects identified in the Sustainable Airport Master Plan for Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. It is part of a broader set of supporting documents that also covers alternatives analysis, terminal needs, and air cargo facility requirements. The report provides the foundational justification for planned airport development decisions. -

This presentation slide outlines near-term projects under the Sustainable Airport Master Plan, including expanded passenger processing facilities to accommodate a projected 56 Million Annual Passengers (MAP), additional cargo and fuel storage facilities, airfield infrastructure modifications to meet FAA design standards, and taxiway efficiency improvements. The mention of the Port's Sustainable Aviation Fuel initiative identifies this as a Port of Seattle document related to Seattle-Tacoma International Airport planning. -
2024-05-22SAMP NTP Environmental Review Overview — Aircraft Operations Forecast Chart (Page 4), May 2024
A line graph comparing historical aircraft operations data (2011–2022) with forecast scenarios through 2037, including an unconstrained 2022 forecast, a No Action constrained scenario, and a Proposed Action constrained scenario. The chart shows operations declining sharply in 2020 (likely due to COVID-19) and recovering, with the Proposed Action scenario reaching approximately 520,000 operations and the No Action scenario capping near 485,000 operations by 2037. -

2024-05-22Highline Forum SAMP NTP Environmental Review Overview — Slide 4 (May 2024)
A presentation slide titled 'Environmental review analysis based on constrained growth scenarios' shows a line chart comparing historical operations data (2011–2020), a 2022 unconstrained forecast, and two constrained growth scenarios—No Action and Proposed Action—projected through 2037. The Proposed Action constrained scenario reaches approximately 515,000 operations by 2037, while the No Action constrained scenario plateaus near 480,000, both falling well below the unconstrained 2022 forecast of approximately 560,000. -
2024-05-13Comment letter on the Washington Aviation System Plan (WASP) draft report
A letter from the City of Burien to WSDOT criticizes the 2017 Washington Aviation System Plan (WASP) for failing to address the health and environmental impacts of growing aircraft noise and air pollution on communities near Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. The letter argues that the plan focuses too narrowly on aviation and economic development while ignoring issues such as hearing loss, poor student performance, sleep disruption, and asthma affecting lower-income and ethnically diverse neighborhoods. The author calls on WSDOT and regional governments to explore alternative airport locations to relieve the disproportionate burden placed on South King County communities. -
2024-05-13Record of approval: Federal Aviation Regulation Part 150 noise compatibility program, Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, Seattle, Washington
This document is the FAA's Record of Approval for Seattle-Tacoma International Airport's Noise Compatibility Program, which outlines measures to reduce aircraft noise and manage land use around the airport. It covers both new and updated measures, including voluntary rescheduling of nighttime flights, preferential runway use during nighttime hours, and a Fly Quiet Program to encourage airlines to follow noise abatement procedures. The FAA approved most measures as continuations of previously approved programs dating back to 1985, while disapproving the engine maintenance run-up regulations.
