In a 2001 declaration filed with Washington State's Pollution Control Hearings Board, environmental reviewer Tom Luster argues that the state Department of Ecology's water quality certification for the Sea-Tac Airport expansion was based on speculation rather than the legally required 'reasonable assurance' that water quality standards would be met. Luster contends the certification lacks sufficient evidentiary support and that the approved stormwater and low-flow mitigation plans fall far short of adequately protecting state waters. He warns that accepting this certification approach could set a damaging precedent for future water quality reviews of major projects across Washington State.

A October 2001 draft memorandum summarizes chemical analysis results from a January 14, 1999 stormwater sampling event at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (STIA). Water samples were collected from eight receiving stream locations during a storm and tested for metals (copper, lead, and zinc), organic carbon, hardness, and suspended solids. The key finding was that metal concentrations at all sampling sites fell below Washington State hardness-corrected water quality standards (WAC 173-201A-040).
