Federal Aviation Administration

Notice of Document Availability Draft

Supplemental Environmental Impact

Statement for Seattle-Tacoma

International Airport, Seattle,

Washington

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of document availability.

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA) and the Port of

Seattle (Port), acting as joint lead

agencies, have released for public and

agency review and comment, a Draft

Supplemental Environmental Impact

Statement (DSEIS) for the Master Plan

Update at Seattle-Tacoma International

(SEATAC) Airport. This DSEIS is a

combined Federal National

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and

Washington State Environmental Policy

Act (SEPA) document.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On

February 1, 1996, the FAA approved a

Final Environmental Impact Statement

(FEIS) on proposed development

projects at SEATAC airport as defined

in the Master Plan Update. An FAA

Record of Decision was never issued for

the proposed development. During the

intervening months, both the FAA and

the Port have determined that the

forecasts of aircraft activity and

enplaned passengers used in the above

referenced FEIS did not adequately

account for the actual growth which has

taken place at SEATAC Airport in the

past year nor the potential for faster

growth rates than expected in the FEIS.

New aviation activity forecasts have

been prepared which were used in this

DSEIS to determine: (1) changes in the

timing of when certain development

projects will be needed to meet the

needs of the airport and (2) potential

environmental impacts from proposed

development. This document evaluates

the anticipated environmental impacts

of the proposed alternatives that include

development of a new parallel runway,

additional terminal, landside and cargo

facilities. All of the development

alternatives will result in floodplain

encroachment, wetland filling, stream

relocation, and property acquisition, as

well as other impacts.

The Port of Seattle will host a Public

Hearing concerning the proposed Master
