FAI Stormwater Program Overview
Storm water discharges are generated by runoff from land and impervious areas such as paved streets, parking lots, and building rooftops during rainfall or snowmelt events. These types of discharges often contain pollutants in quantities that can adversely affect water quality and be detrimental to aquatic life, wildlife, habitat, and human health.
The Alaska Department of Conservation (ADEC) oversees and regulates stormwater discharges by issuing Alaska Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (APDES) permits to reduce or eliminate pollutants in storm water. The APDES Multi-Sector General Permit (MSGP) establishes control measures and Best Management Practices (BMPs) to regulate industry specific pollutants in storm water.
The Fairbanks International Airport (FAI) maintains the APDES MSGP which requires the development of a site-specific Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP). FAI tenants are each individually responsible for assessing their activities and complying with the appropriate ADPES MSGP requirements. To ensure continued success, FAI and all airport users must share the responsibility of storm water pollution control.
