The Environmental Section at Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport (ANC) is committed to safeguarding the environment through a range of initiatives and programs. Key focus areas include:

Air Quality Monitoring
ANC regularly monitors air quality and addresses any issues to remain compliant with environmental standards and regulations.

Solid Waste

Recycling
ANC diverts over 350,000 pounds of solid waste from the Anchorage Regional Landfill annually through comprehensive recycling programs, covering materials such as batteries, scrap metals, cardboard, paper, used oil, toner cartridges, and electronics.
Hazardous Waste Management
Minimal hazardous waste is generated annually, thanks to efforts in recycling, product substitution, and training staff on proper hazardous material identification, handling, and disposal.
PFAS Management
ANC is actively addressing issues related to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) to protect human health and the environment.

Spill Prevention and Response
Spill prevention is a priority at ANC. When spills occur, the Environmental Section ensures prompt cleanup and reporting by tenants. Surveys are conducted to monitor fluid leaks from equipment.

  • Immediate Response: Spills are swiftly managed to prevent contaminants from reaching sensitive environments.
  • Watershed Protection: Floating weirs and oil skimmers at three stations recover petroleum contaminants from discharges.
  • Preventive Measures: Absorbent booms are strategically placed at outfalls to capture spills before they enter water bodies.

Water Quality Protection
ANC operates three watershed protection stations to capture and recover petroleum contaminants from stormwater discharges, preventing contamination of sensitive environments like Cook Inlet and Lakes Hood and Spenard. ANC also holds a General Permit for stormwater discharges.

Airport-owned Underground Storage Tanks
The airport manages underground storage tanks with care to prevent leaks and contamination.

Contaminated Sites Monitoring
The Environmental Section collaborates with airport tenants and the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation (ADEC) to address contamination and remediate affected sites on airport property.

Deicing Management
The airport implements strategies to mitigate the environmental impact of aircraft deicing operations.

Construction Projects
Environmental considerations are integrated into all construction projects to minimize impact and ensure regulatory compliance.

Pesticide Application
Pesticide use on Lake Hood is carefully controlled to protect both the environment and public health.
