2024-12-02EPA Region 10 Letter to Port Of Seattle: Review of FAA Draft Environmental Assessment for Sea-Tac Airport SAMP Near Term Projects
The U.S. EPA reviewed the Federal Aviation Administration's draft environmental assessment for Sea-Tac Airport's near-term expansion projects, which include a new second terminal, cargo facilities, and other infrastructure planned through 2032. The EPA raised concerns about disproportionate health and environmental impacts on surrounding communities, noting that air quality indicators such as diesel particulate matter and nitrogen dioxide already exceed the 80th state percentile in the project area. The agency recommends that the final assessment more thoroughly address environmental justice, air quality, climate change, and wetlands impacts on these overburdened neighborhoods. -
