Guidance for Treatment of Airport Stormwater Containing Devices. Airport Cooperative Research Program (ACRP) Report 99.

摘要

To support safe operations, airport operators and tenants apply a variety of deicing and anti-icing chemicals (collectively called deicers) to aircraft and to airport paved surfaces. The mixed flows containing applied deicers and stormwater runoff must often be managed to mitigate potential environmental impacts to surface water and groundwater. The comprehensive, integrated systems for collecting, conveying, monitoring, storing, treating, and discharging stormwater affected by deicing are often called deicer management systems. Deicer treatment is the component of a deicer management system that removes contaminants of concern from stormwater. Since the mid-1980s, the aviation industry has implemented various deicer treatment technologies. Based on changing airport infrastructure, flight operations, weather patterns, and regulatory compliance needs, implementation of new and enhanced deicer treatment systems is likely to be needed in the foreseeable future.
