Airport Communities Coalition (ACC), represented by Helsell Fetterman LLP, files notice withdrawing Issue No. 20 from PCHB No. 01-160, which asked whether §401 and applicable water quality law would be violated if the Certification does not address water quality impacts to Gilliam Creek.

This legal document covers a 2002 Washington State Pollution Control Hearings Board case in which the Airport Communities Coalition and Citizens Against Airport Expansion challenged the water quality certification issued by the Department of Ecology for the construction of a Third Runway at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. The hearing examined 20 issues related to stormwater management, water quality standards, and whether adequate assurances existed that the runway project would comply with Section 401 of the Clean Water Act. The case involved the Port of Seattle as a respondent and centered on whether proper environmental safeguards were in place before construction could proceed.

This document is a legal exhibit matrix from April 2002 related to permitting and environmental compliance for the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport Third Runway project. It catalogs dozens of exhibits—including water quality certifications, NPDES permits, stormwater monitoring reports, and internal agency emails—along with their document reference numbers, the parties involved (Ecology, Port, and ACC), and whether each exhibit was admitted, rejected, or withdrawn during proceedings. The matrix tracks objections and stipulations among the parties regarding evidence related to construction stormwater management and clean fill criteria for the runway expansion.
