    Water pollution historical documents (1948-1957)

    This collection of historical documents from 1948 to 1957 chronicles ongoing water pollution problems caused by Sea-Tac Airport's drainage of aircraft wash water, oils, and chemicals into nearby Miller Creek and Des Moines Creek. The records show repeated fish kills, contamination of private property, and years of failed or inadequate treatment solutions, prompting complaints from residents, state legislators, and wildlife agencies. Despite numerous proposals and temporary fixes, the Washington State Pollution Control Commission continued to pressure the Port of Seattle to develop a permanent waste disposal system throughout the period.
