Notes
This special edition newsletter from the Regional Commission on Airport Affairs (RCAA) covers the Airport Communities Coalition’s appeal to the Pollution Control Hearings Board challenging Ecology’s revised sec. 401 certificate for Sea-Tac Airport third-runway construction. The newsletter reports that Ecology’s revised certificate failed to fully implement the State Supreme Court’s May 14 ruling, particularly regarding the prohibition on using contaminated fill material including arsenic-laden soil from Maury Island. Additional articles address the Port of Seattle’s lack of a concrete financing plan for the $192.6 million construction contract and the challenges of sourcing clean fill material.
