EXH 296: Declaration Paul S. Fendt — Stormwater Mgmt & Low Flow Mitigation, PCHB 01-133
This declaration by stormwater engineer Paul S. Fendt, filed in a Washington State Pollution Control Hearings Board case, explains how Sea-Tac International Airport's Master Plan Update will increase impervious surfaces and alter stormwater runoff into Miller, Walker, and Des Moines Creeks. The document outlines mitigation measures, including 344.1 acre-feet of new detention storage and controlled low-flow water releases, to offset increased peak flows and reduced summer stream flows caused by airport expansion. It provides technical background on the affected watersheds and the Port of Seattle's stormwater management strategy. -

Chronology of Section 401 permit, second application
This document chronicles the Port of Seattle's second Section 401 Clean Water Act permit application, submitted in September 1999, which was on the verge of being denied by the Washington State Department of Ecology due to multiple shortcomings related to wetlands and water quality. On September 28, 2000, a private, unannounced meeting was held between Port, Ecology, and Governor's office officials, after which the Port strategically withdrew its application to avoid a formal denial. A series of closed-door negotiating sessions followed in October 2000, none of which were publicly announced, raising concerns about political influence and lack of transparency in the permitting process for Sea-Tac Airport expansion. -
