In this October 24, 2001 letter, the Port of Seattle notified the Washington Department of Ecology of a mathematical error discovered in hydrological modeling software used to assess the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport Master Plan's impacts on Miller and Walker Creeks. The error caused stream flow impacts to be overestimated at 1/24th of their actual value, meaning required mitigation facilities could be smaller than originally planned. As a result, the Port requested an extension of the Low Streamflow Analysis submittal deadline from November 5 to November 21, 2001.

Dr. Willing also contends that the four best management practices listed in the Port's Stormwater Master Plan are largely inadequate, as most do not go beyond basic King County water quality requirements.
