    Aircraft noise environment and land use issues near Sea-Tac Airport

    This document outlines several key challenges related to aircraft noise near Seattle-Tacoma (Sea-Tac) Airport. It notes that existing noise measurement systems lack the precision needed by planners, residents, and courts, while federal FAA funds cannot be used to purchase noise-affected lands unless they serve specific airport purposes. Additional concerns include restricted HUD/VA mortgage financing in high-noise areas, the potential negative impact on local tax bases if the Port of Seattle acquires large amounts of noise-sensitive land, and widespread property owner anxiety over declining home values and marketability.

    Fashion update: What Puget Sound will be wearing in the year 2000

    This brochure, published by the Regional Commission on Airport Affairs (RCAA), argues against the Port of Seattle's 'Flight Plan' proposal to add a third runway at Sea-Tac International Airport. It highlights existing noise burdens on South End communities—where jet noise already averages 65 Ldn and reaches up to 105 decibels—and warns that the expansion would add 120,000 more flights annually by 2020, consuming 12% of residents' daily lives with jet noise. The document cites health experts and a renowned noise specialist, Dr. James Chalupnik, to advocate for alternative solutions such as remote airports and high-speed rail instead of expanding the urban airport.
