* The Port of Seattle and the NWSA agreed that the total fixed amount for Environment &
Sustainability is $100,000. The actual direct charges and allocation among the two orgs
can change, but the total will remain $100,000 for 2024.
* Amounts identified in this table reflect only the Operating Budget and do not include the
Capital Budget spending.
Payment for services
POS and NWSA acknowledge that services described in the scope of services entail direct and
indirect costs to provide. These costs will be transacted between POS and NWSA in a manner
that is proportionate to the level of service provided by either entity, as follows:
a. In 2024 and going forward, NWSA will provide a fixed amount to POS for the
core environmental services identified in item (3). This reflects an accurate
accounting of the services received by NWSA in relation to the actual cost to
provide them. This does not include direct charges to capital programs or
projects. In future years, if NWSA consistently requires additional services not
included in item (3), POS and NWSA will work collaboratively to estimate the
cost of the additional services and adjust the fixed fee accordingly through a new
or amended agreement.

Port of Seattle and The Northwest Seaport Alliance

EX12-3

EXHIBIT POS - 12 - Service Directive:
Environment & Sustainability Services

b. In 2024 and going forward, POS will provide funding for any services requested
of NWSA on a case-by-case basis. Such services and the method of payment will
require mutual agreement, transacted either through direct charges to POS
subclasses or projects, or through special agreements for that purpose, based on
current billable rates for NWSA.
c. Specific service requests made pursuant to item (5) will be negotiated on a caseby-case basis. Such services and the method of payment will require mutual
agreement, transacted either through direct charges to POS or NWSA subclasses
or projects (depending on who is receiving service), or through special
agreements for that purpose, based on current billable rates.
Coordination of activities which are of mutual interest but outside of the core services
In addition to activities in item (3) above, POS and NWSA routinely coordinate activities related
to regional environmental initiatives, strategies, and programs, at their own cost. This
coordination includes sharing of data, collaborative strategy development, and ensuring
alignment between NWSA and POS environmental programs. Time spent on these coordinated
activities is typically staffed and funded individually by POS and NWSA. These activities include
but are not limited to:
• Northwest Ports Clean Air Strategy implementation
• Seattle Waterfront Clean Energy Strategy planning and implementation
• Emissions accounting and joint reporting
• Grant funding and public and private partnerships
• Southern Resident Killer Whale (SRKW) Orca Recovery efforts
• International and domestic engagement on shared policy issues
• Resiliency and hazard mitigation planning
• Negotiation/coordination with Muckleshoot Indian Tribe and Suquamish Tribe
• Land use planning such as feasibility studies, development proposals, city and
regional regulatory or policy changes

EXHIBIT POS - 12 - Service Directive:
Environment & Sustainability Services

POS or NWSA may request additional staff time and resources to be allocated to the abovementioned (or other) activities that exceeds normal “coordination.” In such case, if mutually
agreed, the costs of the additional staff time and resources will be borne by the entity receiving
the additional services.
5) Scope of Services to be provided by The NWSA to POS
a) It is anticipated that the following support will be provided by the NWSA
environmental team:
i) NWSA has common interest in meeting POS and NWSA environmental goals
established by the individual ports and the commonly managed properties
under the NWSA. NWSA, POT & POS staff agree to coordinate closely on
regional programs, sharing data, strategy development, and alignment of
programs. Time spent on these programs are staffed and paid for by each
organization, although collaboration and coordination of tasks will be required
and cost sharing may be agreed to. Programs of common coordination include,
but are not limited to:
• Northwest Ports Clean Air Strategy update
• Emissions accounting
• Awards programs including POS Environmental Excellence Awards and NWSA
North Star Awards
• SRKW Orca Recovery efforts
If requested by POS, and agreed to by NWSA, additional staff time could be
spent on POS actions for work outside of the common strategy development
and beyond requirements. The actual costs (based on analysis of work
activities, staff and consultant contracting time) will be covered by POS,
applied to the project with approvals by the project lead.

Additional Information
The Muckleshoot Indian Tribe, the Suquamish Tribe, POS, and NWSA share a common area of
operations, including bay and channel areas throughout north and south Elliott Bay. Since 1995,
Treaty tribes and the port have cooperated through a series of agreements, with the objective to
avoid and minimize potential negative effects on Treaty-protected fishing access, in conjunction
with cargo and passenger activities and infrastructure improvements at port marine terminal
(and other) facilities.
Background
The Port of Seattle conducts government-to-government relations with the Muckleshoot Indian
Tribe and Suquamish Tribe as federally recognized, Treaty-protected native sovereign nations.
POS long-term commitment to the Muckleshoot Indian Tribe and Suquamish Tribes relates to
maintenance of usual and accustomed treaty fishing access adjacent to port marine terminal sites
throughout Elliott Bay, the East and West waterways, and the Duwamish River.
Treaty tribe authority: The Muckleshoot Indian Tribe and the Suquamish Tribe have authority to
exercise treaty-reserved fishing rights within their “usual and accustomed hunting and fishing
areas” (U&A) in Elliott Bay, the East and West waterways in south Elliott Bay, and the Duwamish
River. This includes two elements affecting port marine terminal facilities: (1) direct fishing access
at marine terminal locations and (2) participation in federal decision-making for proposed port
development that might affect treaty fishing access.
The tribes have treaty-reserved fishing rights in all areas required for navigational access to port
facilities, so navigational and berth access to all port marine terminal facilities during fishing
periods (generally August through January) must be accomplished without substantially
impeding fishing activities.
Treaty tribes have equal decision-making authority with federal agencies, including the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, National Marine Fisheries Service, and
Environmental Protection Agency, regarding authorizations required by the port for
development, operation, and maintenance of marine cargo infrastructure. This authority also
extends to federal Superfund cleanup determinations and natural resource damage and
restoration requirements.
The Muckleshoot Indian Tribe and Suquamish Tribe and the port have worked to manage
successful Treaty fishing access with marine cargo and passenger vessel access for many years.
Experience indicates that pro-active actions taken to design, construct, and operate port facilities
in a manner that avoids conflicts with Treaty fishing improves safety, reduces damage to fishing
gear and vessels, allows for effective harvest, reduces the potential for delays in vessel arrivals

and departures, and reduces uncertainty for port-sponsored marine terminal development
actions.
Since 1995 all capital Port of Seattle development and marine facility improvement projects,
including Terminal 5, Terminal 18, Terminal 30, Terminal 91, and Terminal 115, have included
agreements to compensate Treaty tribes for adverse “in-water” effects on Treaty fishing, in
instances where displacement of fishing access could not be avoided or minimized.
Compensation measures in most cases consisted of payments to the Muckleshoot Indian Tribe
and Suquamish Tribe.
In addition, recent agreements with the Muckleshoot Indian Tribe and Suquamish Tribe have
provided for coordination of fishing activities with marine terminal operations. During fishing
periods, the tribes and the port have agreed on measures and funding for twenty-four-hour
monitoring and management, to minimize potential disruption of net fishing, while allowing for
movement of cargo and passenger vessels.
The POS and NWSA have a shared interest in continuing close coordination with both Tribes,
including frequent engagement and careful attention to their treaty rights.

3) Scope of Services to be provided by POS to The NWSA
a) Municipal, county, and state organizations (collectively “Third-Party Users”) occasionally have need
for temporary use of property licensed to The NWSA for lay-down, staging, and other activities in support
of major capital improvement projects. Such use is formalized via a written agreement typically in the
form of a Temporary Construction Easement (TCE). Depending upon the duration, scope of use, and
agreement terms, payment by the Third-Party Users for use of the property may be made directly to the
POS as the property owner. In such cases, these payment funds should be transferred to The NWSA as
licensee/agent for the property. In the year ahead, POS expects to receive funds from the City of Seattle
relating to a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between POS and the City of Seattle for the East
Marginal Way Corridor Project. The MOU establishes the amount that the City will pay for TCEs on related
POS properties including those licensed to NWSA, and NWSA participated in the negotiations. In the event
other TCEs are paid directly to POS for use of NWSA licensed-property, payment for such TCEs shall be
transferred by POS to NWSA pursuant to the terms of this exhibit.
