In addition, the adoption of the proposed noise regulations by the City of Tukwila will not have an impact on the environment that was not adequately analyzed in the above referenced Environmental Impact Statement, and The proposed adoption of noise regulations by the City of Tukwila will not have an impact on the environment that is substantially different than the impacts of the earlier proposed action, that is, the adoption of the noise regulations by the State of Washington. Pursuant to the above, this memorandum and the attached Resolution #679 shall constitute circulation of the Final Environmental Impact Statement as it relates to the adoption of the proposed noise regulations by the City of Tukwila.
