    EXH AR019520: Workbook Tools Calculating Soil & Groundwater Cleanup Levels MTCA User’s Guide

    This 2001 User's Guide from the Washington State Department of Ecology describes software workbook tools (MTCASGL and MTCATPH) designed to help calculate soil and ground water cleanup levels under the Model Toxics Control Act. The guide covers installation, technical requirements, and step-by-step instructions for entering site-specific data such as chemical properties, exposure parameters, and hydrogeological characteristics. Note that while this document addresses environmental cleanup standards, it does not appear to be directly related to Sea-Tac Airport noise policy.

    EXH AR019613: WAC 173-340-747 Deriving Soil Concentrations Groundwater Protection MTCA

    This Washington State regulation (WAC 173-340-747) establishes methods for determining safe soil contamination levels that protect groundwater quality at cleanup sites. It outlines several scientific approaches, including three-phase and four-phase partitioning models, leaching tests, and empirical demonstrations, to calculate the maximum allowable concentration of hazardous substances in soil before they risk contaminating groundwater. The regulation requires that soil concentrations not cause groundwater cleanup level exceedances and not result in the buildup of nonaqueous phase liquids in or on groundwater.

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.
