    Technical Memorandum No. 1: Background, Process, Goals, and Objectives — Seattle-Tacoma International Airport Sustainable Airport Master Plan

    This July 2015 technical memorandum outlines the background, goals, and objectives for Seattle-Tacoma International Airport's Sustainable Airport Master Plan (SAMP), prepared by Leigh Fisher for the Port of Seattle. It describes how the SAMP differs from a traditional airport master plan by integrating financial, environmental, and community sustainability considerations into long-term airport development planning. The document also explains how sustainability goals—drawn from national, regional, and Port of Seattle policies—will be used to evaluate and screen future development alternatives for Sea-Tac Airport.

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.

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.
