Commenting on a draft EA is an important way for the public to participate in the environmental review process and contribute to the decision-making process. You can submit comments throughout the comment period online\, by email\, or postal mail. \nHow to Comment \nMembers of the public will be able to submit comments throughout the comment period in writing by using the online form\, by email\, or regular mail. Comments should provide sufficient detail for the agency to understand the commenter’s position and why the issues raised are important to the decision-making process. \nImportant note: Before including your name\, address and telephone number\, email or other personal identifying information in your comment\, be advised that your entire comment – including your personal identifying information – may be made publicly available at any time.  \nClick Here to Submit a Comment\n\nEmail: samp@portseattle.org\nMail (must be postmarked by Dec. 13):\nMr. Steve Rybolt\nPort of Seattle\, Aviation Environment and Sustainability\nP.O. Box 68727\nSeattle\, WA 98168\n\nAccessing the Document \nThe FAA’s NEPA draft EA is available online here and will also be available at public libraries and at the SEA Airport Conference Center; including Des Moines Library (21620 11th Ave S.\, Des Moines\, WA 98198). \nEnvironmental Review Process \nAn environmental review is a process to assess how projects at Port of Seattle facilities may impact the environment in a variety of categories that include air quality and climate\, water resources\, biological resources\, and noise\, among others. If impacts are identified\, the analysis evaluates the extent of those impacts\, and if required\, identifies ways to reduce or avoid them. A project may require both federal and state environmental reviews\, but not always both are required for every project. \nThe purpose of an environmental review is to assess the potential environmental impacts of a proposed project before it is undertaken. Key objectives include: \n\nInformed decision-making\nFull transparency and public engagement in the decision-making process\nCompliance with laws and regulations\nIdentification of ways to avoid\, minimize\, or mitigate impacts\n\nThe SAMP NTP environmental review includes 31 proposed projects\, which is being conducted to comply with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA). The FAA is the lead agency for NEPA\, and the Port follows their guidance under FAA Order 1050.1F. \nSteps in the NEPA Environmental Review Process \nThe typical environmental assessment process includes: \n\nDeveloping the purpose and need for the project and determining potential alternatives that provide a solution.\nUndertaking scoping to understand agency and public concerns that are then addressed in National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) documentation.\nAnalyzing and documenting the environmental consequences for all alternatives detailed in the NEPA document.\nConducting public meetings through the analysis process to advise and continue to collect input from agencies\, the community and general public\, including a public meeting or hearing at the issuance of the draft EA document.\nAddressing comments on the draft NEPA document\, which will aid in the preparation of a final NEPA document.\nEnding with either the lead federal agency – in this case\, the FAA – issuing a Finding of No Significant Impact/Record of Decision or the lead agency determining that an EIS is required.\n\n\n\n\nPublic comment during the environmental review process is provided during formal comment periods. The purpose of public input during this process is to fully understand the potential impacts related to the proposed projects and consider community concerns before a federal agency makes a final decision. \nMore information can be found via the city’s website: \nhttps://www.desmoineswa.gov/cms/one.aspx?portalId=17385088&pageId=20580156
