    EXH AR024306: ACC Review Letter — Nov 2001 NRMP Wetland Mitigation Inadequacies, STIA Third Runway

    A December 2001 letter from Azous Environmental Sciences challenges the Port of Seattle's wetland mitigation plan for the SeaTac Third Runway construction project, arguing that the plan inadequately offsets environmental damage to wetlands and streams. The letter contends that the Port has misclassified wetland 'enhancement' work at Vacca Farm as 'restoration,' inflating mitigation credits, and that the overall plan fails to meet no-net-loss standards required under Army Corps of Engineers regulations.

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. The dispute was meant to be settled by a three member Expert Arbitration Panel. This is their final report. It finds 2-1, that the Port's program was insufficient in several respects. 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.
