The system empties into the City of SeaTac's stormwater basin,and the City has approached the Port asking that it be repaired.

The new project cost estimate is about $345,000. Work may be authorized by the CEO when it is determined that an emergency requires immediate action. Repairs to the stormwater system will commence under this critical work provision using Port crews, and a request for Commission authorization will be forthcoming in January. 8. NEW BUSINESS None.
