    EXH AR021830: GeoSyntec Letter — ACC Response to Comments, West MSE Wall Seismic Stability, Third Runway

    GeoSyntec Consultants, hired by the Airport Communities Coalition, wrote to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and Washington State Department of Ecology in June 2001 raising serious technical concerns about the proposed Third Runway Expansion at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. The letter challenges the Port of Seattle's geotechnical analysis for the West Mechanically Stabilized Earth (MSE) Wall, arguing that soil strength testing was insufficient, the extent of liquefiable material may have been underestimated, and seismic stability analyses were being performed incorrectly. GeoSyntec concluded that the Port had not yet demonstrated the wall could be safely and economically constructed to withstand potential seismic loads without unacceptable deformation.

Sea-Tac Airport is currently undergoing the largest and longest expansion in its history, collectively known as the Sustainable Airport Master Plan (SAMP). Some of it you can already hear, but you’re probably not aware of what it all means. Here’s what you need to know.

Read This!

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.
