TagThird Runway(1068)

A Port of Seattle memo from April 2001 summarizes environmental testing of rock aggregate imported from the Black River Quarry for use in the Third Runway embankment project. Testing by environmental consultant AMEC found petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH) and elevated copper levels in some samples, prompting operational changes at the quarry including equipment cleaning and discarding the first hundred tons of rock after asphalt recycling operations. Follow-up testing confirmed that contaminant levels fell below MTCA Method A cleanup standards, and the Port halted material imports from the quarry in mid-October 2000 pending resolution.

This document summarizes correspondence and records related to environmental cleanup efforts at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, covering the period from 1997 to 2001. It details how Governor Locke conditioned his 1997 certification for the airport's third runway expansion on the Port of Seattle completing a study of decades-worth of hazardous waste contamination in the soil and groundwater at the site. The records also trace the lengthy negotiations between the Port and the Washington State Department of Ecology to establish an Agreed Order under the Model Toxics Control Act, which was ultimately signed in May 1999.
