Airport activities include aircraft storage, maintenance, re -fueling and washing. De-icing operations have not occurred and there are no de-icing chemicals stored onsite. Facility's Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) and semi-annual Qualitative Monitoring records from 2017 through 2019 were provided for review. The SPPP appeared to contain all permit -required components along with documentation related to the annual update requirements including employee training, non-stormwater certification and listing of any significant spills (none). Based on the monitoring records, the facility has three stormwater discharge outfalls associated with industrial activities and there have been no observable issues related to stormwater pollution. After the records review, observations were made of the aircraft wash area, which is located between the T-Hangars where wash water can flow into a vegetated area for infiltration. There is a sign posted in the wash area regarding the use of bio-degradable detergents. Observations were also made at the fuel storage tanks with secondary containment and the stormwater discharge outfalls. At the time of inspection, facility appeared to be well operated and maintained.
