Subject:                         Comments to Port Commission on Sept 25, 2018

Dear Commissioners,

Thank you for your service to our region and community. lam emailing these comments because I can not present them
in person at the commission meeting on Sept 25.  There are five sections in this email.

1.   I sent an email to you, the Port Commissioners, on Sept 10 via an info form. This is the confirmation URL

https://www.port_seat_t_le.org/formlwebform-contact-commission/confirmation

I've not heard back so am wondering if this form actually works. Here's the request I submitted:

Hi, I was at the meeting tonight and asked about the hush house plans. Stan and Steve said that there was some type of
presentation at a Port Commission meeting a year ago. A search on the Port web site for Hush house and for Ground
Runup enclosure yields zero search results.

https://www.portseatt|e.org/seargh/node?keys=hush+house

httpszl/www.portseattle.org/search[node?keys=ground%20runup%20enclgsure

Can you send me a link to the date and time when the Port commission most recently heard anything about a hush
house, and to the handouts from that meeting, and similarly for any meetings since 2000 when the Port Commission has
discussed a hush house/ ground runup enclosure?

Thank you,

StuartJenner

2.   A fundamental question on the Sustainable Airport Master Plan is - is this part of a longer term plan? If yes,
what is that plan?

At the Sept 10 open house, | chatted with a person about the overall plan. | asked where the Hush House could go. He
said 'well we don't have it in this plan because this is a short term plan, not a long term plan." He added "the Puget
Sound Regional Council is working on a long-term plan and rolling up individual plans from Seatac, Paine and Boeing

Field." He then said that "later" they would figure out where to put the Hush House. It sounded like "later" was many
years away, maybe 2026? When today's kindergartners are about to start high school?

I have to ask: does it really make sense to spend billions on a short-term plan without knowing the long-term plan?

Then also, at some point, are we just throwing good money after bad? At some point, there is a maximum of what is
feasible to do at any given location.


3.    Further Comments on the hush house

I did a quick Google search on House House. What's incredibly frustrating is finding articles written by, or mentioning,
some of the same people who were at the scoping meeting on Sept 10. l have to ask, did they take notes last time? Does
anyone ever have a list of "unfulfilled requests" or "broken promises" or "deferred til next time"?

Here are some of the links


From 2002, a PI story about "studying" a hush house.

httpsgwww.seattlepi.eom/news/article/Somewin-some-loseini(gt-noise-battle-with-FAA-1092847.php

From 2010, during the Part 150 process

Handout from the Part 150

4.   Cost overruns on the International Facility

In the spring, there were some news stories about issues and challenges with the international facility. One of the
articles mentioned a certain employee. When looking at the Port, one always wonders "why did that person get hired."
This particular employee had worked for a government regulator, where he issued a key permit for the third runway. I
looked at the data he blessed, and it was junk. So after he issues the permit, he retires. Then he goes to work for a major
contractor that serves the Port. Then, he left them and now works at the Port  in construction management and
,
planning roles.

I am not surprised you would have massive cost over runs when the track record of the people who are hired is tainted
by shall we say suspicious career pathways.


5.   What is Sustainability?

The airport plan has co-opted the word 'sustainable' .This plan is no more sustainable than any other mega project.
When I attended the open house, I certainly didn't hear about any attempts to reduce greenhouse gases, reduce air
pollution, noise, or other impacts.

At the open house, it was incredibly frustrating to go to a topic, ask the people about that topic, and hear the following:

A.   lam not in this area
B.   This isjust a placeholder

l have to close with this question for you, commissioners: are you satisfied with how the open house was run? Or with
how this process is going?

Thank you,

Stuart Jenner

Meeting Goal
The goal of this meeting was to present and discuss the draft noise abatement, land use
mitigation, and program management recommendations for the Part 150 Study Update.

Rob Adams Presentation
Rob Adams, project manager for Landrum & Brown, provided members with an
overview of the draft Part 150 recommendations. The recommendations include the
continuation of some of the noise remedy measures currently in place, the removal of
some measures that are either redundant or completed, and the addition of new

measures. A copy of Rob's presentation was provided to all TRC members.

Technical Review Committee Illeeting #8 Report

Rob presented the updated noise contours that were prepared to reect the most recent
conditions and the future conditions for 2018. A revised updated noise remedy
boundary was created based on the future 2018 noise contour. Rob reiterated that like
the previous updated noise remedy boundary, this proposed noise remedy boundary is
smaller than the current boundary, due to both a decrease in overall airport operations
and the transition to quieter aircraft that has occurred since the original boundary was
created in 1985.

The major actions included in the preliminary recommendations are:

P  Construction of a Ground Runup Enclosure/Hush House to contain engine

runup noise. This will require additional analysis to determine potential sites
for such a facility, as well as a comprehensive evaluation of the costs and
benets.

> Expansion of the Fly Quiet Program with new program elements.

> Continuation of the sound insulation program for single-family homes.

> Voluntary acquisition of residential properties within the South Approach
Transition Zone.

> Sound insulation for condominiums and apartment houses.

> Avigation easements to the owners of 75 mobile homes within the newly defined
noise remedy boundary.

> A study of noise levels, and possible recommendation for insulation for churches
located within the newly defined noise remedy boundary.

Committee Discussion
Committee members asked a number ofclarifying questions in response to Rob's
presentation, with the following points emerging through the discussion:

The recommendations do not incorporate the Greener Skies Initiative. The consulting
team ran a test on this and found that the proposed measures would not have an effect
inside the 65 DNL contour.

A rough estimate for the size of the hush house is 250' by 250'. It's a three-sided
structure. The challenge is to nd a large enough site on the airport; three sites are
currently under consideration. The sites have some signicant constraints associated
with them, so each is being carefully evaluated.

$50 million in noise mitigation was committed for the Highline School District some
years ago. Much of those funds have been spent to improve the schools, but there are
still some schools to be insulated. Some of those schools are now outside of the 65 DNL

Technical Review Committee IVIeetz'ng #8 Report

contour, but the Port will still move forward with insulation and other improvements to
those schools.

Committee members applauded the Port's inclusion of mitigation measures for multi
family units, noting that remedies for renters had been discussed during the last Part
150 process, and that it remains a priority for several committee members. There are a
number of multifamily buildings within the noise remedy boundary that will be
reviewed as potentially-beneting from these measures; the Port believes about 400
such units will be eligible. The program will first be implemented on a pilot basis in
order to test how it can best be managed and implemented over the long-term.

The Port is trying one last time to insulate those homes that were eligible through the
prior Part 150 process. Because the noise remedy boundary has decreased substantially,
some of those original homes would not be eligible, now, for sound insulation measures.
The Port sent 320 letters to homeowners giving them a "last chance" to participate in
the program. Ninety responses were received by the July deadline. Once the Part 150 is
completed, the FAA will require that only the new 65 DNL noise remedy boundary can
be used for eligibility purposes going forward.

The Port may include air conditioning as one element of new sound insulation
installations, but air conditioning will not be offered retroactively for homes that have
previously been insulated.

The Port will continue with efforts to acquire properties within the South Approach
Transition Zone, or ATZ. Property owners will be asked to sell on a voluntary basis
only.

Under an avigation easement, the Port will offer nancial incentives to individuals to
keep them from occupying or renting mobile home units on properties within the 65
DNL contour.

Suggestions for Communicating with the Public
Committee members had a number of suggestions for ways to more effectively
communicate the Part 150 information to the public:

> Make sure you tell the story of how much work has been done to mitigate for
noise over the years. For example, in addition to the singlefamily homes you
have insulated, you provided remedies to some 200 condo units, and you have
purchased 7 mobile home parks.

> It would be helpful to rotate the noise contour map so it is displayed as going
from north to south; people are more familiar with that orientation.

> Clearly explain the differences between the year 2013 noise exposure and 2018
noise exposure maps.

Technical Review Committee IVIeetz'ng #8 Report

> Make sure you talk about how the eligibility requirements have changed since
the new noise contours have been adopted. This will be confusing to people, so
you'll need to explain it carefully.

> As you are talking about the hush house, it's probably better to just indicate the
number of acres you will need, rather than using the term "requires a large land
envelope."

> Several members thanked the Port for doing such a great job with the Part 150,
and noted that they were especially pleased to see the noise remedies for renters.
South Des Moines and the City of Sea Tac have the highest poverty levels in
King County. This is a good faith effort by the Port. Yes, it will cost some
money, but it's worth it. This is a serious environmental justice issue.

Next Steps
The Draft Part 150 Report will first go to the Federal Aviation Administration for a
preliminary review and comment. Once the FAA is finished with its preliminary review,
a public comment period will begin, which will include a formal public hearing. This
will likely take place in early 2013, and it is anticipated that a final meeting of the
Technical Review Committee will be scheduled in February 2013.
