TagThird Runway(1067)

This legal declaration by Dr. Patrick Lucia, filed in a Washington State Pollution Control Hearings Board case, argues that the Department of Ecology lacks reasonable assurance that fill material used to construct the Sea-Tac Airport Third Runway embankment meets environmental safety standards. Dr. Lucia contends that the certification allows soil concentrations of arsenic and other metals — including cadmium, chromium, lead, mercury, and nickel — that significantly exceed Puget Sound natural background levels. He also criticizes the Port of Seattle's soil sampling approach as arbitrary and unscientific, asserting it fails to meet accepted environmental engineering standards for contaminant testing.
