The Raleigh -Durham Airport Authority (Authority) respectfully submits an original and one

to once per permit cycle for all stormwater locations. Therefore, no stormwater samples were
collected during CY2020.
Enclosed please find the visual monitoring reports, the total glycol usage data, and pavement
deicing data for CY2020. This report was also emailed to Bethany Georgoulias with DEMLR.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call me at 919-840-7741 or email me at
