Comments by Kitty Milne re the removal of trees at SeaTac Airport

Good Evening and thank you for the opportunity to have input about
yet another proposal by the POS that signicantly affects our local
communities. I have lived in Burien for 44 years; and in our
neighborhood that is parallel to the ight paths. we never heard any
airport noise until the 3ml runway was constructed. The heavily
wooded area along 12'" Avenue that acted as a sound barrier for our
neighborhoods was destroyed, lled in 200 feet high, and placed all
that sound high above us to just roll out over our communities. How
many mature trees did you remove for the 3'd runway? And here you
are again, wanting to take out hundreds more mature trees that will
not only result in even more noise, but also will drastically change the
ecology of our communities and affect not only people, but also the
ora and fauna that cohabit with those trees.  I strongly urge the POS
to think very carefully about the consequences before going through
with this project. and | request that the City of SeaTac require an EIS
before this project is allowed to proceed as proposed.  I would
suggest that you spend some time looking for a sight for a new airport
that is very much needed instead of looking for more ways to harm
our already impacted communities. Thank You.
