Several studies and small-scale air pollutant sampling programs have been conducted by the Port of Seattle (Port), the State Department of Ecology (Ecology) and the Puget Sound Air Pollution Control Agency (PSAPCA). Because of ongoing concerns about air quality in the vicinity of Sea-Tac, the undersigned agencies have agreed to work together to gather additional air quality baseline data. In April 1995, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the Port issued a joint Draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the proposed Master Plan Update Improvements at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. In February, 1996 the FAA and Port issued the Final EIS, which incorporated a draft air quality conformity determination. These environmental documents address, among other issues, potential air quality impacts associated with various Master Plan Update improvement projects (facility developments and operational changes) to be phased-in between 1996 and 2020 as part of the long-range airport vision (Exhibit A, attached to this agreement). The Final EIS considered the available Sea-Tac air quality information from previous studies, updated the baseline and projection year emission . inventories for five "criteria" pollutants of concern, performed area-wide dispersion screening modeling for volatile organic. compounds (VOC) _ and oxides of nitrogen…
