Staff updates stormwater pollution-prevention plan testing and catch-basin concerns

Staff reported they discussed testing requirements for the airport’s Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan and clarified which pollutants the airport must test for in its discharges. Updated pages of the plan were provided to staff members by email and in print, and an electronic copy was distributed for review, staff said. In follow-up remarks, staff noted some catch basins show inflow cleaning while outflow structures had not been cleaned in years; hay bales and temporary erosion-control materials remained near some outflows. Staff said sediment logs are no longer in the pipes but that some bales and debris remain and will need attention to assure proper discharge quality. No formal regulatory action was taken during the meeting; staff requested reviewers examine the updated plan and contact them with questions.
