The facility opened in May, 2009. The runway and taxiway grounds are covered with straw with little sign of grass at this time to stabilize the soil. There have been recent heavy rains and snow, so the ground was wet, but there were no significant signs of erosion. While the runway has a 0.04% gradient drop going from N to S, the surrounding ground is slightly crowned at about halfway the length of the runway. Each side of the crown has designed swales and culverts that carry rainwater from the runways and deliver it to stormwater ponds at each end of the site. Therefore, there are only two discharge points, from the north pond and the south pond. The outlets are isolated from the main body of the ponds by a curved berm of riprap, after which the water enters a concrete box before leaving via a concrete culvert to join the receiving stream. On the north is a UT to Quankey Creek and on the south is Marsh Swamp. In addition, there are deep swales between the runway and the taxiway that carry water through cattails and join the receiving streams at the outlets of the ponds. The south receiving stream was somewhat turbid with a tan color, but there did not appear to be a concentration of sediment from construction of the airport. Mr. Johnson was shown where to make the qualitative observations in order to evaluate the combined flows -' from the ponds plus the cattail swales. A state of the art fueling station has two double -walled tanks with secondary containment behind a chain link fence. One is Jet -A and the other Aviation Gasoline. Bulk fuel delivery trucks pull into a special unloading pad within the secondary containment, with a speed bump providing containment on the entrance side of the pad. From the onsite tanks, fuel is delivered to airplanes via metering devices and nozzles that require a person to hold the handles open. The meters operator by credit card, and will shut off when a maximum of S500 is reached. At current prices, this is about 119 gallons. If the meters sense that a flow of fuel is too fast (a ruptured hose, for example), the circuit breakers for the station are tripped inside the terminal building. Emergency spill equipment was stored inside the fence [better outside thefence?), and an emergency shutoff button is a few feet away from the fueling nozzles. We discussed development of the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan that will be required by the permit. As established during earlier telephone conversations with Mr. Johnson, there is no loading of crop dusting chemicals at this airport. PRO agrees that this permit should be issued. o o 0 4 Myrl Nisely Danny Smith AIRPORT DATA COUNTY: HALIFAX / STATE: NORTH CAAOU IA FM AIRPORT IDMTIFtI;t AIRPORT ELWATION .._ IXA . _— IAT _— AIRPORT ACREAGE mi MAGNETIC DECLINATION P 3E' W (M7) AIRPORT REFERENCE POINT ( ARP I - HAD 83 _ AIRPORT REFERENCE CODE LATITUDE u'I9'47.46r N LONGITUDE. 7T3■9A.211' W I DH u APPPMR AIRPORT !
