    EXH 271: Comprehensive Stormwater Management Plan — IWS Config & Overflow Analysis (Table 4-2)

    This document describes the Integrated Water System (IWS) stormwater management configuration at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (Sea-Tac), detailing storage lagoons totaling 76.9 million gallons and a treatment rate of 4.0 million gallons per day across approximately 435 acres. Simulations over a 50-year period confirmed zero overflow events under proposed conditions, with overflows only beginning to occur if treatment rates dropped below 3.1 million gallons per day. The system experienced only one historical overflow during an extreme rain-on-snow event in December 1996–January 1997, with no petroleum hydrocarbons detected downstream.

    EXH 268: Summary Table Miller Creek, Walker Creek, Des Moines Creek Drainage Areas STIA Impervious Area Change 1994 Baseline vs 2006 Future Conditions

    This table from a July 2001 Comprehensive Stormwater Management Plan summarizes drainage area measurements and changes in impervious surfaces (such as pavement and rooftops) across Miller Creek, Walker Creek, and Des Moines Creek watersheds at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (STIA). It compares 1994 baseline conditions to projected 2006 future conditions, showing a total increase of approximately 305.7 acres of impervious area across all drainage basins. The data was compiled from GIS coverage to support stormwater management planning for the airport's master plan update.

    EXH AR019499: Proposed MPU Improvements — STIA Comprehensive Stormwater Mgmt Plan §5

    This section of Sea-Tac International Airport's Comprehensive Stormwater Management Plan outlines proposed Master Plan Update (MPU) improvements and their likely stormwater management requirements. It describes how land use changes — including increases in impervious surfaces across various airport development phases — were analyzed using GIS and hydrologic modeling to assess drainage impacts. The document also notes that projects such as the relocated Airport Surveillance Radar required specific flow controls to manage stormwater runoff on the west side acquisition area.

    EXH 234: NHC Follow-Up Comments Stormwater Hydrology Hydraulics Proposed Third Runway STIA Corps Ref. 1996-4-02325

    Northwest Hydraulic Consultants submitted follow-up technical comments to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and Washington State Department of Ecology regarding stormwater, hydrology, and hydraulics concerns related to the proposed third runway at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. The letter, written on behalf of the Airport Communities Coalition, challenges the Port of Seattle's responses to earlier criticisms, raising unresolved issues about stormwater management standards, independent design review, cost estimates for detention facilities, and the accuracy of hydrological modeling. Key concerns include ambiguity in which stormwater standards will apply, inadequate quality assurance processes, and inconsistencies in the project's Stormwater Management Plan.

  • Sea-Tac Airport Perimeter Aerial View with Stormwater Retention Pond

    Aerial photograph showing the southern or western perimeter of a major commercial airport, with runways, taxiways, and terminal gates visible alongside an industrial/warehouse district. A newly constructed stormwater retention pond with exposed sandy berms is prominent in the mid-ground, consistent with airport drainage or environmental mitigation infrastructure.

    Aerial View of Detention Pond Construction at Sea-Tac Airport

    Aerial photograph looking north toward Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, showing a large rectangular stormwater or noise-mitigation detention pond under construction in the foreground, with airport runways, terminals, and aircraft visible in the background. Construction equipment, a temporary site office, and freshly graded sandy soil surround the pond, suggesting active civil works in the airport's peripheral area.

Issues

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.

Read This!

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.
