NEPA draft will be published for public review in April 2020. Draft SEPA EIS will follow the FAA's NEPA decision in September of 2020. g: Explain demands exceeding forecasts. Based on our current growth, our growth has exceeded forecasts. We are growing at 6% vs. the 3% forecasted. g_ Using FAA's decibel threshold vs. the WHO piece? FAA is requiring us to use their established standards. We can incorporate additional information into the study. g; Are you including the particulate study being prepared by the state? If it's ready to go. Port is also doing an independent one as well. g_ Why are you using 2018 as base year when the public asked for 2012 as base year? Between 2012- 18 was there a study to account for the 70-80k additional flights? There wasn't a study but the master plan in 1997 already included forecasts for that growth. We haven't done a study for those additional flights specifically but they are covered in previous studies. Q: Airport has outpaced any forecasts for growth. Why not just forecast it on the high side? Yes, the 1997 plan did forecast conservatively. g Existing noise monitors are not accurate or not working, no accountability. That should be addressed. Disconnect between monitors and what people are seeing and hearing. Working to address that based on modeling for future forecasting. C3 What is the relationship of this process and the rebranding that Port of Seattle is doing? Tacoma is staying in the name! The aviation director is trying to brand the quality of service with the name. g_ Is air cargo a piece of your projections? It is part of our forecast update. Encourage you to show both components, air and cargo. Q: How are you going to link what you've heard from the community and what you've followed up with as next steps. FAA is very prescriptive in process. 4. Sound Transit Update: Katie Drewell, Community & Governmental Relations for Sounder & South Sound. Federal Way Link Extension opening in 2024.
