Notice of Availability; Final Environmental Impact Statement,
Master Plan Update, Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, Seattle, WA
Lead Agencies: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the Port of
Seattle.
The Port of Seattle, operator of Seattle-Tacoma International
Airport, has prepared a Master Plan Update for the Airport. The Plan
shows the need to address the poor weather operating capability of the
Airport through the development of a third parallel runway (Runway 16X/
34X) with a length of up to 8,500 feet, separated by 2,500 feet from
existing Runway 16L/34R, with associated taxiways, utilities, and
navigational aids. Other proposed development includes: Extension of
Runway 34R by 600 feet; establishment of standard Runway Safety Areas
for Runways 16R/34L; development of a new air traffic control tower;
Main Terminal improvements and terminal expansion; development of a new
unit terminal located to the north of the existing main terminal;
parking and access improvements and expansion; development of the South
Aviation Support Area for cargo and/or maintenance facilities, and
relocation, redevelopment, and expansion of support facilities.
A Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) has been prepared by
the FAA and the Port of Seattle which assesses the impact of
alternative airport improvements. The proposed improvements would be
completed during the 1996-2020 period, with initial 5-year development
focused on the new parallel runway, and existing passenger terminal,
parking and access improvements.
