TagTechnical Advisory Committee(5)

The Department of Commerce (Commerce) formed a Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) to help guide the development of the report. The TAC initially consisted of representatives from the six cities within the study area (Sea Tac, Tukwila, Burien, Normandy Park, Federal Way, and Des Moines) and later expanded to include a public representative from each of those cities. The group met with Commerce 25 times during the development of the report and was responsible for the following:  Assisting in completion of the project charter,  Assisting in the development of the draft statement of work, review draft request for proposals (RFP)  Providing review and comments on the draft study. Stantec Consulting Inc. developed the report. The report identified 72 recommendations to improve impacts of operating the Sea-Tac airport on neighboring cities. The TAC members met virtually after the report’s publication to identify priority next steps from among the report’s 72 recommendations and to surface any additional concerns. TAC Post-Report Update Priority Next Steps The TAC reviewed the Study’s 72 recommendations and prioritized 13 specific items as next steps. These recommendations are not in any priority order. Public Health #4. Approve/reauthorize bills to address mitigation packages that have failed or are inadequate. #9. Expand the late night noise limitation program to reduce effects on neighborhoods. #8. Require alternative fuel use for airport. Air Quality #1. Improve the current monitoring network by increasing the number and location of monitors in and around the airport. #4. Continue research on the connection of…

On Tuesday, December 8th, 1981, the following members of the Technical Advi- sory Committee for the Sea-Tac International Airoort Noise Exoosure Uodate met to discuss certain concerns regarding the final draft of the Noise Exposure Update. Bill Holstine, Riverton Heights Community Bob Nelson, City of Des Moines Virginia Dana, Zone III Committee Jim Chalupnik, Environmental Protection Agency, Noise Program Marian MacKenzie, Citizen Peter Breysee, Department of Environmental Health, U of W Marsha Huebner, City of Des Moines The product of that meeting was an acknowledgement of concerns pertinent to the Noise Exposure Update which we maintain warrant attention. Firstly, the document does not define the problem which the study was designed to address, that is, the effects of aircraft noise on the Sea-Tac Commun- ities. The study was undertaken in order to provide a statistical foundation for the development of an overall strategy for alleviating conflicts bet- ween the airport and its neighbors, conflicts which bear upon property values and individual reactions to aircraft noise. The purpose stated in the report is to update noise exposure data for the Sea-Tac Communities Plan. However, the update is an element of the solution, not a statement of the problem. We find a statement of the problem critical to fosterinq a layman 1 S under- standing of the study and in providing a starti"g point from which to ev~l­ uate its efficacy. As the Port of Seattle will be reappraising noise remedy programs in light of this report, we find the results distressing.…
