Master Plan Designed to meet sustainability goals in the Century Agenda, Airport's strategic goals, and Strategy for a Sustainable Sea-Tac (S3) Integrates sustainability in three phases: 1. What and where we build 2. How we build 3. How we operate 8 Next Steps in SAMP Sustainability How We Operate: Sustainable Operations Developing Management Plan Estimating future impacts, comparing to goals Evaluating the gaps between the forecasts and the goals Assess a broad range of programs, initiatives, and actions Use Internal Stakeholder Process Refine initiatives and operational approaches Make recommendations and finalize Sustainability Management Plan Conduct Formal Environmental Review for SEPA/NEPA 9 The Port of Seattle's Sustainability Leadership Survey Summary The Port demonstrates exemplary leadership in: Air Quality and Climate Change Converting all GSE to alternative fuels, serving as a founding member of the National Climate Registry, and conducting a GHG inventory Energy Use and Conservation Developing a Server Virtualization Strategy and a Green Data Center Strategy Recycling Returning revenue/cost savings from recycling directly to tenants Wildlife Management Developing bird radar, non-toxic wildlife control, and toxicity testing in nearby waterways to preserve habitat Community Outreach Designing an airport environmental issues curriculum for local secondary schools Airport Sustainability Benchmarking 10 Port of Seattle's Sustainability Leadership by Category Survey Summary The Port's airport sustainability work is groundbreaking in 10 of 13 survey categories Opportunities for the Port to expand its leadership include: Transportation Employee Health and Welfare Water Quality & Conservation Airport Sustainability Benchmarking 11 Port of Seattle's Sustainability Leadership by Category Survey Summary Airport Sustainability Benchmarking 12 Survey Categories Methodology and Results Moving people and goods efficiently air quality, greenhouse gas emissions, transportation, adaptation Air quality and climate change planning, clean energy Energy use and conservation electricity use, gas use, technology deployment Buildings and infrastructure sustainable buildings, asset management Managing Natural Resources Wisely recycling, construction waste, hazardous materials and Materials use and recycling waste, environmentally preferable products Water resources and wildlife water quality, wildlife habitat, water conservation Promoting Sustainable Communities Noise mitigation Employee health and welfare training, diversity, engagement programs integration with capital programming, planning, procurement, Organizational integration policies and procedures Community outreach communications strategy, engagement programs promoting small and local businesses, increasing jobs, decreasing Economic development airport costs, increasing revenue Airport Sustainability Benchmarking 13 Data Sources Methodology and Results The survey covered: 18 Airport responses to our sustainability survey Airport Sustainability Plans and Strategies Airport Websites SAGA (Sustainable Aviation Guidance Alliance) Database ACI Environmental Benchmarking Survey ACRP Reports Other Industry Journals/Publications NGO websites and/or documents that relate to sustainable aviation (US Green Building Council, International Organization for Standardization, etc.) Airport Sustainability Benchmarking 14 Standards and Accreditation Summary Standards and Accreditation Opportunities Airports in the US and around the world have considered the following greenhouse gas reporting/certifications: The Climate Registry (used by the Port) Airport Carbon Accreditation The following additional standards and accreditations are being sought by an increasing number of airports: Global Reporting Initiative EPA Green Power Partnerships ISO Standards ACI Environmental Achievement Awards LEED (used by the Port) External standards and accreditation can provide consistent measures across airports Airport Sustainability Benchmarking 15 Summary of Findings, Trends and Other Observations Conclusions Energy Conservation and Community Outreach initiatives vary widely These categories allow for a variety of innovative initiatives Effective community outreach depends on airport location and community needs Energy conservation depends on the local environment and new technologies No airport is doing groundbreaking noise mitigation in 2013 Noise best practices have become standardized Aircraft are getting quieter Reported recycling rates are not standardized, making comparisons between airports difficult Europe and Asia lead carbon offsetting projects and certifications European climate policy drives airport policies with a focus on carbon neutrality ISO Standards are widely recognized outside the United States Europe and Asia lead employee health and welfare programs Progress on ACI-NA Environmental Goals is strong among top North American airports Airport Sustainability Benchmarking 16 New in 2016 Reduce, Reuse, Recycle Evaluating options for green tenant spaces Implement compostable service ware Expand use of electric vehicles Feasibility study to provide aviation biofuels at Sea-Tac Airport Research sources of renewable natural gas Green roofs/Low impact development Finalize Strategy for a Sustainable Sea-Tac (S3)

PDF files are created with text and images are placed at an exact position on a page of a fixed size.
Web pages are fluid in nature, and the exact positioning of PDF text creates presentation problems.
PDFs that are full page graphics, or scanned pages are generally unable to be made accessible, In these cases, viewing whatever plain text could be extracted is the only alternative.
