5 Ft. Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport January 2009 Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan Project No MACTEC Engineering and Consulting, Inc. (MACTEC) EXECUTIVE SUMMARY A Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) is a plan that provides guidance and lists actions taken by operators of industrial sites to prevent contamination of storm water. The SWPPP described herein has been developed and implemented at the Ft Lauderdale/Hollywood International Airport (FLL) pursuant to state regulations governing storm water discharges from airport facilities. As part of the state requirements, the Broward County Aviation Department (BCAD) applied for and obtained permit coverage through the state storm water program, and developed the following Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) detailing the site activities and associated Best Management Practices (BMPs) that are to be adhered to at FLL. Similarly, in order for the tenant s of FLL to be compliant with the state requirements, all tenants who operate in the air transportation sector (including aircraft servicing, cargo handling, and hangar rental) must independently obtain their own permit coverage from the state by submitting applications for permit coverage, and completing the included forms with the appropriate site specific information requested in Appendix A. The attached record logs for SWPPP updates, employee training, and facility inspections provided in Appendix B must be updated by the permittee annually as required by the conditions of the storm water permit for industrial activity. Tenants are expected to independently implement the BMPs detailed in Appendix D at their facility to ensure storm water pollution prevention, and compliance with their storm water permit. Inspections of tenant facilities will continue to be performed on a regular basis by BCAD and/or an environmental consultant under contract to BCAD. During the inspections the BCAD representative will provide suggestions to tenants to help the tenant understand state permitting requirements, proper SWPPP maintenance, and implementation of appropriate BMPs. Due to the fact that de-icing fluid is rarely used at FLL, storm water sampling and analysis for typical airport storm water contaminants is not required at FLL by state regulations. However, BCAD has implemented a comprehensive storm water monitoring program at FLL to ensure that activities at FLL do not negatively impact the quality of the water bodies surrounding FLL.

9 Ft. Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport January 2009 Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan Project No MACTEC Engineering and Consulting, Inc. (MACTEC) 1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1 REGULATORY BACKGROUND The Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport s (FLL) Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) was prepared in accordance with the requirements for storm water pollution prevention plans set forth in the Federal Register notice entitled Final Reissuance of National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Storm Water Multi-Sector General Permit for Industrial Activity; Notice, Volume 65, Number 210, dated October 30, The purpose of this SWPPP is to provide guidance to document procedures implemented by BCAD to eliminate or reduce pollution of storm water runoff at the FLL facility Federal Regulations In 1972, the Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1948, which became known as the Clean Water Act (CWA) in 1977, was amended to require that the discharge of pollutants to waters of the United States from any point source be covered by a NPDES permit. In 1987, amendments to the CWA added Section 402(p), establishing a framework for regulating and permitting municipal and industrial discharge of storm water under the NPDES program. The NPDES Permit Program is comprised of three categories that are each subdivided into two phases which address environmental concerns relating to point source discharges of storm water runoff: Category 1 Industrial Activity Phase I Includes 10 Categories of Industrial Activity Phase II Provides for a revised No Exposure Exclusion from permitting for any regulated industrial activity that has all of its industrial materials and activities protected from rainfall or runoff with the exception of Category 10: Large Construction Sites disturbing five-plus acres) Category 2 Construction Activity Phase I Includes Large construction activities that disturb five or more acres of land Phase II Includes Small construction activities that disturb between one and five acres of land Category 3 Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems (MS4s) Phase I Includes medium and large MS4s, which are MS4s generally located in areas with populations of 100,000 or more. Phase II Includes certain small MS4s, which are MS4s that are not regulated under Phase I that are located in U.S. Bureau of Census-defined urbanized areas (UAs) and have resident populations of 71,000 or located outside of UAs that FDEP designates into the NPDES Permit Program as well as any federally operated MS4s. 1-1

10 Ft. Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport January 2009 Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan Project No MACTEC Engineering and Consulting, Inc. (MACTEC) The regulations require that operators discharging storm water associated with specific types of industrial activity obtain NPDES permits. The discharge of storm water occurs at any facility that does not have a retention area to retain all storm water. The federal regulations indicate that facilities which perform activities associated with air transportation are classified under Sector S. A copy of the federal regulations for Sector S: Air Transportation Facilities has been included as Appendix E. Air transportation facilities are described by the federal regulations as those facilities involved in servicing, repairing, or maintaining aircraft and ground vehicles, equipment cleaning and maintenance (including vehicle and equipment rehabilitation mechanical repairs, painting, fueling, and lubrication), and aircraft de-icing. The determination whether a facility is required to participate in the NPDES Storm Water Pollution Prevention Program is based on Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) codes. All facilities with an SIC code starting with 45 are required to participate in Sector S of the NPDES program State Regulations EPA authorized the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) to implement the NPDES Storm Water Permitting Program in the State of Florida in October 2000 as specified in Rule (5)(a), of the Florida Administrative Code (FAC). The FDEP has adopted the Phase I Federal regulations and the Phase II Federal regulations for Industrial Activity. The FDEP NPDES Storm Water Section regulates point source discharges for the 11 categories of industrial facilities as identified in 40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) (b)(14) through the State of Florida Multi-Sector Generic Permit for Storm Water Discharge Associated with Industrial Activity (MSGP). Any facility that performs industrial activities associated with air transportation is required to submit a MSGP Notice Of Intent (NOI) to the FDEP to obtain permit coverage every five years. If MSGP coverage has yet to be obtained at a facility, or if MSGP coverage needs to be renewed; a NOI application along with answers to frequently asked questions regarding the NOI application can be found in Appendix F. A copy of the MSGP confirmation letter should be kept in Appendix C. If a facility is involved with industrial activity associated with air transportation, but does not perform any activities where potential pollutants are exposed to storm water; then a No Exposure Certification Form can be submitted to the state in place of a MSGP NOI application. A copy of a No Exposure Certification Form is available in Appendix G. Similar to the MSGP, a No Exposure Certification Form requires renewal every five years. If a facility sub-leases property to a sub-tenant, then the facility has the option of including the sub-tenant on their permit. A facility that includes a subtenant on its permit becomes responsible for any non-compliance performed by the sub-tenant. In compliance with SWPPP requirements, a sub-tenant that is included in the facility s permit must participate in the pollution prevention training program and be aware of how to implement pollution prevention Best Management Practices (BMPs) on their portion of the facility. The contact information for the FDEP storm water contacts is presented in Appendix H in case any further information regarding the NPDES program is desired.

11 Ft. Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport January 2009 Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan Project No MACTEC Engineering and Consulting, Inc. (MACTEC) 1.2 PROGRAM APPROACH The storm water pollution program at FLL has been developed by BCAD to ensure its compliance with FLL s MSGP and proper implementation of FLL s SWPPP. A key component of this program involves increasing the tenant s awareness of the tenant s requirement to implement a pollution prevention program at the tenant s facility. To facilitate tenant compliance, BCAD provides guidance on permit applications, BMP implementation, and protection of the storm water system at FLL. Under this program, Broward County and airport tenants are not co-permittees. Airport tenants must submit their own Notice of intent (NOI) and obtain their own MSGP confirmation letter Procedural Requirements Each permittee must comply with the following requirements of the MSGP: a. Complete the site specific information provided in Appendix A and retain a copy of the MSGP confirmation letter with the SWPPP. b. Perform annual employee training in pollution prevention techniques and SWPPP implementation and document the training using the forms provided in Appendix B. c. Annual inspections must be performed and documented using the inspection record forms provided in Appendix B to ensure compliance with this SWPPP. Based on inspection results, the pollution prevention control techniques may be modified as necessary to improve storm water pollution prevention. d. The SWPPP will be updated whenever there is change in design, construction, operation, or maintenance; which has an effect on the potential for pollutants to enter the storm water discharge. Modifications to the plan must be documented using the forms provided in Appendix B. e. Document any spills or leaks using the forms provided in Appendix B regardless of quantity Storm Water Pollution Prevention Team The success of pollution prevention efforts is dependent on the level of effort put forth by the Storm Water Pollution Prevention Team (SWPPT). The implementation of an effective storm water pollution prevention program requires success in two areas; permit maintenance and BMP implementation. It is suggested that a facility director be closely involved in maintaining the SWPPP and renewing the MSGP, and that the operations manager oversee BMP implementation and be responsible for facility inspections. The BCAD SWPPT is detailed below: Name(s) Title Responsibilities Michael Pacitto Brad Ostendorf Winston Cannicle Environmental Compliance Manager Environmental Compliance Specialist Environmental Compliance Specialist Oversees the implementation of the SWPPP, BMPs, and facility inspections. Directs the implementation of the SWPPP, BMPs, good housekeeping, and recordkeeping. Performs facility inspections, and employee training. Directs the implementation of the SWPPP, BMPs, good housekeeping, and recordkeeping. Performs facility inspections, and employee training.

12 Ft. Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport January 2009 Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan Project No MACTEC Engineering and Consulting, Inc. (MACTEC) Employee Training Employee training is instrumental for ensuring that Best Management Practices (BMPs) are properly implemented at a facility. BCAD provides annual employee training to its operations and maintenance staff. The training program covers the storm water pollution prevention program at FLL, and provides the employees the information they need to help prevent environmental impact. Each tenant/permittee is expected to independently perform annual pollution prevention training as well. Employee training programs should cover the following topics: The pollution prevention BMPs detailed in Appendix D; The effects of storm water pollution; Spill prevention control and countermeasures; Overview of regulatory requirements and possible ramifications for non-compliance. Training materials are available on the following FDEP website to assist with the development of a storm water pollution prevention training program: water/npdes/guidance_links.htm Facility Inspections To monitor BMP implementation at FLL, BCAD performs Annual Comprehensive Site Evaluation (ACSE) at approximately 60 tenant facilities per year. The ASCE consists of the following three main tasks: review of regulatory documents, a facility walkthrough, and follow up correspondence to confirm that any observed deficiencies have been corrected. Following the completion of the ACSE inspections, an annual report summarizing the results of the ACSE compliance inspections will be prepared by BCAD. The information in the report will include the following: Name(s) of ASCE inspectors Date(s) of ASCE inspection List of FLL tenant facilities being inspected Outline of inspection procedures Major observations relating to the implementation of the SWPPP Any incidents of non-compliance and actions taken Additionally, each permittee at FLL is also expected to perform its own independent inspection for every facility covered under their MSGP. If a sub-tenant is included on a tenant s MSGP; then the sub-tenant facility must be included in the annual inspection. The permittee inspection form is provided in Appendix B Record Keeping and Reporting The success of pollution prevention efforts are tracked through record keeping and internal reporting. Records of employee training sessions, facility inspections, SWPPP updates, and spills and leaks will be maintained by the permittee for a period of at least 3 years after the permittee s FDEP NPDES MSGP expires. Appendix B contains forms that can be used to document a permittee s pollution prevention efforts.

13 Ft. Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport January 2009 Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan Project No MACTEC Engineering and Consulting, Inc. (MACTEC) Plan Revision The SWPPP must be reviewed and updated by the permittee at least annually during the facility inspection. Modifications must be documented for any of the following conditions: A major change in design, construction, operations, or maintenance that may impact potential for pollutants to be discharged to storm water A change in the activities performed at a facility A spill or leak has occurred Construction activities that have affected or will affect storm water flows and/or discharges Storm Water Monitoring Program Since FLL does not use 100,000 gallons or more of glycol-based deicing/anti-icing chemicals and/or 100 tons or more of urea on an average annual basis as specified on the FDEP NPDES Discharge Monitoring Report (DMR) form; then analytical monitoring and reporting requirements of results pertaining to industry specific point source discharges are not required for any facilities of FLL. However, BCAD has implemented a comprehensive storm water monitoring program at FLL to ensure that activities at FLL do not negatively impact the integrity of the surrounding water bodies. The storm water monitoring program consists of six monitoring events performed at all seven outfalls each year. The voluntary storm water monitoring program is performed pursuant to the NPDES monitoring plan, and includes analysis for five-day Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD 5 ), Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), Oil and Grease, Total Recoverable Petroleum Hydrocarbons (TRPH), Total Suspended Solids (TSS), and ph.

14 Ft. Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport January 2009 Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan Project No MACTEC Engineering and Consulting, Inc. (MACTEC) 2.0 FACILITY DESCRIPTION 2.1 FLL DESCRIPTION FLL is located in Sections 21, 22, 27, and 28; Township 50S; Range 42E of Ft. Lauderdale, Broward County, Florida FLL is a large air transportation facility that is approximately 1,736 acres in size. The activities performed at FLL include commercial aircraft operations, freight handling, and aircraft service and maintenance. 2.2 LAND USE Approximately 77 percent of the FLL facility is covered by impervious surfaces, such as buildings and paved areas such as runways, taxiways, and parking lots (FLL Outfall Location Map is shown in Figure 1). The pervious surfaces, including grass and vegetated soils that occur between runways, taxiways, and buildings cover approximately 23 percent of the facility. The areas surrounding FLL consist of residential property and small areas of commercial and industrial property. 2.3 PHYSIOGRAPHY AND CLIMATE Most of the greater Fort Lauderdale area is relatively flat and topographically homogeneous. City boundaries merge forming a large urbanized community from southern Dade County to northern Palm Beach County. The climate is subtropical in nature and is divided into two seasons, wet and dry. The winters are warm and usually dry, the summers are not excessively hot, but generally wet. The dry season extends from November through April or May. The wet season extends from May or June through October. Average annual rainfall is approximately 60 inches. Summer temperatures seldom exceed 95ºF. The average temperature for December, January, and February is 68ºF and for June through September is 85ºF. The mean annual temperature is 75ºF. The frosty or freezing temperatures are rare and of short duration. 2.4 DRAINAGE CHARACTERISTICS FLL is divided into seven distinct drainage basins. Surface water runoff is collected in a series of catch basins, storm sewers, vegetated swales, conveyance canals, and detention areas. The runoff flows are conveyed offsite from FLL, discharging southward into the Dania Cutoff Canal, northward via the Osceola Creek to the South Fork of the New River Canal, and eastward via the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) drainage system into the Dania Cutoff Canal. The drainage basin delineation is shown in Figure 1, and photographs of the outfall locations are presented in Appendix I Outfall 1 Outfall 1 is located on the southeast portion of the airport near the entrance to Perimeter Rd from Griffin Rd. Outfall 1 has the largest drainage area of any outfall at FLL. The 487 acre drainage area is comprised of the eastern portion of the north side operations area, the eastern half of the airfield, Terminals 2,3, and 4, and the Palm parking garage. A series of six Oil Water Separators (OWS) are located within the storm water system for Terminals 2, 3, and 4 and the eastern half of the airfield to recover fuel in case a release was to enter the storm water system. The location of the OWS s at FLL are illustrated in Figure 2, and the purpose of OWS s are further detailed in

15 Ft. Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport January 2009 Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan Project No MACTEC Engineering and Consulting, Inc. (MACTEC) Section The storm water collected in the drainage area is conveyed to the detention area near Perimeter and Griffin Rd before leaving the airport through two 24 inch culverts under Griffin Rd. The storm water travels south of Griffin Rd through a conveyance canal to the Dania Cutoff Canal Outfall 2 Outfall 2 is located on the western side of the US-1 overpass. The drainage area for Outfall 2 is approximately 416 acres; of which approximately half is occupied by US-1 and the US-1 overpass. The Hibiscus parking garage, the BCAD administrative offices, and the GSE storage area are all located within the drainage area for Outfall 2. The storm water collected from the GSE storage area and the BCAD administrative offices travel through two box culverts under perimeter road to the east side of the FEC railway, and then northward to the US-1 overpass. The storm water collected from the Hibiscus garages travel to the US-1 overpass area as well; where it joins with the storm water from other portions of the drainage basin prior to being discharged to the wetland area to the east of the US-1 overpass Outfall 3 The drainage area for Outfall 3 is approximately 190 acres, and is comprised of one block on the eastern portion of the north side operations area, Terminal 1, and the 595/US-1 Interchange. The storm water that is collected near Terminal 1 passes through an OWS prior to entering the detention pond on the northeast corner of the airfield. The drainage basin for Outfall 3 collects in the FDOT Lake located near the northeastern portion of FLL. The FDOT Lake is connected to a conveyance canal which flows into the wetland area to the east of the US-1 overpass Outfall 4 Outfall 4 is comprised of the western half of the north side operations area, the areas surrounding Taxiway A, and the parking area located on the northwestern portion of FLL. The drainage area is approximately 282 acres. The storm water collected around Taxiway A and the north side operations area travels through vegetated swales to a conveyance canal located near the northwest corner of runway The conveyance canal is piped under 595 to Osceola Creek in the Edgewood Passive Park. The Osceola Creek joins the South Fork of the New River at the Yacht Haven Marina Outfall 5 The storm water collected in the Park and Save area that is located north of SW 42 nd St west of I- 95 drains into the conveyance canal located to the south of SW 42 nd St. The drainage area for Outfall 5 is approximately 232 acres. The conveyance canal flows over a rectangular weir before discharging into the Dania Cutoff Canal Outfall 6 Outfall 6 has a drainage area of approximately 224 acres, and is comprised of a majority of the west facilities. The storm water that is collected from the drainage area is collected in a detention area east of SW 16 th Ter located on the southwest corner of FLL. The drainage area is connected to the mitigation area west of SW 16 th Ter. The mitigation area connects to the Ft. Lauderdale Small Boat Club which is located on the Dania Cutoff Canal Outfall 7 The drainage area for Outfall 6 is approximately 210 acres, and collects runoff from the general aviation operations area, and the western half of runway 9R-27L. The outfall is located in the Green Belt on the southwest corner of the airport. storm water is discharged into a retention area in the Green Belt prior to flowing into the Dania Cutoff Canal.

16 Ft. Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport January 2009 Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan Project No MACTEC Engineering and Consulting, Inc. (MACTEC) 3.0 SOURCE IDENTIFICATION 3.1 TENANTS AND SITE ACTIVITIES A variety of activities are performed at FLL at over 100 facilities and four terminals. Therefore, BCAD has developed a tenant database to assist them with determining the activities each tenant performs at FLL. The tenant database documents the tenant name, the type of services provided, the status of the tenant s MSGP, sub-lessees to the tenant, the results of the Annual Comprehensive Site Evaluation (ACSE) for the last three years for the tenant facility, the outfall which the tenant facility discharges to, the activities performed by the tenant that require the use of potential pollutants, and a record of documented releases. The tenant database is presented in Appendix A of the BCAD SWPPP. In order for each tenant to make their SWPPP site specific they must provide a description of their site activities, potential pollutants, and Best Management Practices (BMPs) in the tenant questionnaire presented in Appendix A of the tenant SWPPP. The activities performed at FLL which require the use of potential pollutants are presented below: Aircraft Fueling Aircraft Maintenance Aircraft Washing Cargo Handling Chemical Storage Equipment Fueling Equipment Maintenance Equipment Storage Equipment Washing Fuel Storage GSE Services Lavatory Services Painting/Stripping Waste Management & Disposal The typical potential pollutants used while performing the above listed activities are batteries, cleaning products including detergents, lavatory fluid, oil and grease, paint, petroleum products, and solvents. A description of where the activities are performed at FLL is detailed below Aircraft Fueling Aircraft leaving from the terminals are typically refueled through the underground jet fuel distribution system that is accessible from each gate. Aircraft being refueled from the general aviation area on the west side of FLL, and from the north side operations area are typically serviced by mobile re-fuelers Aircraft Maintenance Large jet aircraft maintenance is not performed extensively at FLL. However some minor maintenance such as oil changes are performed at some facilities. Usually all large aircraft maintenance is performed at the terminals. Both the north side operations area and the general aviation area have multiple hangars which routinely perform small aircraft maintenance. The performance of any aircraft maintenance outside of a hangar is discouraged at FLL Aircraft Washing Aircraft washing is prohibited at FLL unless BCAD has reviewed an accepted the washing system. Aircraft washing is performed at a limited number of facilities throughout the airport, and also by a limited number of mobile washers.

17 Ft. Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport January 2009 Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan Project No MACTEC Engineering and Consulting, Inc. (MACTEC) Cargo Handling Cargo handling is limited to unloading from the terminals and processing of cargo at a series of warehouses located on the north side operations area. All cargo processing is completed indoors Chemical Storage Most airlines and maintenance facilities store used oil in limited quantities. Other than petroleum products, no bulk chemical storage is performed at FLL Equipment Fueling A limited number of fueling locations are present at FLL at the north side operations area and on the west side of the airport in the general aviation area. These facilities typically perform a low volume of refueling; typically for ground service equipment and maintenance vehicles Equipment Maintenance The majority of equipment maintenance at FLL is performed at the north side operations area and is mostly limited to Ground Service Equipment (GSE) Equipment Storage Most equipment storage is performed at individual facilities, and on the southeastern portion of the SIDA area near Terminal 4. This area is used for the storage of luggage carts and GSE equipment Equipment Washing Equipment washing is prohibited at FLL unless the BCAD Environmental Compliance Section has reviewed and accepted the washing system. Equipment washing is performed at a limited number of facilities throughout the airport Fuel Storage Two bulk fuel storage areas are located at FLL. The largest is on the northeast corner of the airport, and supplies the underground jet fuel distribution system that is accessible from each gate as well as mobile re-fuelers. The second storage area is located on the west side of the general aviation area, and typically services mobile re-fuelers GSE Services GSE services are typically provided out of various facilities at the north side operations area, and equipment is stored near the gates as necessary. GSE maintenance is typically performed at various facilities on the north side operations area Lavatory Services Lavatory services are provided by most of the operators at FLL. The lavatory trucks utilize the triturators located near Terminals 2 and Painting/Stripping Painting and stripping activities are prohibited unless a proper paint booth is in place. A limited number of paint booths are located on the north side operations area Waste Management & Disposal The majority of bulk trash storage and processing is performed on the north side operations area. The trash is processed indoors, and all waste is containerized before storage.

18 Ft. Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport January 2009 Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan Project No MACTEC Engineering and Consulting, Inc. (MACTEC) 4.0 BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES In order to reduce storm water pollution, BCAD has implemented a series of Best Management Practices (BMPs) at FLL. BCAD has been working with tenants and staff to implement general as well as activity specific BMPs. The BMPs implemented at FLL are summarized below and detailed in Appendix D. 4.1 SOURCE CONTROLS Source control BMPs are aimed at preventing the release of any potential pollutant to the storm water system. Prevention is the most effective method of eliminating pollution. Every permittee is expected to review the BMPs summarized below, and implement them as applicable at their facility. The information presented below and in Appendix D is to be used as a guidance by tenants, and each tenant is expected to independently implement appropriate BMPs at their facility for all activities; including BMPs that may not be detailed below General Source Control BMPs Non-Storm Water Discharge Elimination You can prevent or reduce the discharge of pollutants to storm water from building and grounds maintenance by implementing cleaning practices that use little to no water. Also, planting native vegetation can reduce irrigation, fertilization, and pesticide needs. By cleaning up spills immediately and keeping paved surfaces swept, the amount of contaminants and sediments that reach storm water drains can be reduced. Eliminate liquid waste disposal down storm water drains. Post proper signage near storm drains to inform employees. Provide a process description to the BCAD Environmental Compliance Section for any runoff generating process (aircraft and vehicle washing, outdoor cleaning, and irrigation) for review and acceptance. Use alternative dry cleanup methods (for example: rags and sponges) to clean machinery Berm any area where runoff producing activities may be performed and collect all waste water. Do not over irrigate. Irrigation system controllers should be set to apply between ½ and ¾ inches per event Housekeeping Work areas should be kept clean and free of debris. Spill pans should be used where potential leaks are present. Any leak or minor spill should be cleaned immediately. Chemical storage areas shall be contained. Chemical transfer containers should be emptied into collection containers as soon as the work activity has been completed. The tops of collection containers should be wiped frequently. Oily rags should be collected, and not be left around the facility.

19 Ft. Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport January 2009 Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan Project No MACTEC Engineering and Consulting, Inc. (MACTEC) Exposure Minimization All chemical storage containers should be kept inside or stored under cover. All maintenance activities and any other activity that may release potential pollutants should be performed indoors or under cover. If the activity must be performed outdoors, then spill pans must be used and any spill or leak that occurs must be cleaned up thoroughly and immediately. All equipment should be stored indoors or under cover, and only equipment in proper working condition that is free of any leaks can be stored outdoors Activity Specific Source Control BMPs Aircraft & Equipment Fueling Discourage topping off by training employees and posting signs. Topping off a tank usually results in overfilling and a fuel spill which can be harmful to humans, fish and wildlife. Install overflow prevention equipment. A major source of spills is fuel overflow during storage tank filling. Protect fueling areas from rain to minimize spills, leaks, and incidental losses of fuel from coming into contact with rain water by building a roof over the fuel area and paving it with concrete instead of asphalt. Asphalt can soak up or be dissolved by fuel and become a source of storm water contamination. Prevent storm water runoff from crossing the fueling area. Rainwater flowing across fueling areas can wash contaminants directly into storm drains. Position berms, roof downspouts, and valley gutters to direct storm water away from the fueling area. Oil/water separators or oil and grease traps should be installed in storm drains in the fueling area to reduce the amount of oil entering the storm water system if a significant release were to occur. Be aware of where water drains to in your fueling area and make sure oil/water separators are installed properly and cleaned frequently. Consider using a damp cloth or mop to clean the fueling area rather than hosing it down. Be sure to dispose of wash water properly. Control spills immediately and do not wash them into storm drains or sanitary sewer systems Aircraft & Equipment Maintenance Whenever possible perform all equipment maintenance and repair indoors to avoid possible contact with storm water. Have a designated area for vehicle fluid changes that is away from any storm drains or sanitary sewer collection points, and where drips and spills can be easily contained and cleaned up. Consider cleaning vehicles and parts using non-caustic detergents, detergent or water based cleaning systems in the place of organic solvent degreasers, non chlorinated solvents (such as mineral spirits), and recyclable cleaning agents. When possible, clean spills, equipment, and parts with rags, a wire brush, or bake oven to conserve water and avoid washing contaminants into surfacewater or groundwater. Prevent spills and drips from reaching the ground by placing a drip pan under any vehicle being worked on, stored, or repaired; especially those that were damaged and are waiting for maintenance. Wrecked or damaged vehicles should be stored with a roof over them and all fluids drained to prevent leaks from reaching the ground.

20 Ft. Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport January 2009 Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan Project No MACTEC Engineering and Consulting, Inc. (MACTEC) Collect leaking or dripping fluids in drip pans separated by type to facilitate proper disposal or recycling. Make sure all waste drums are located in a properly controlled area with a concrete slab and secondary containment to prevent leaks and spills. Drain all oil filters completely before disposing of them and crush them for recycling. All cracked or dropped batteries should be stored in secondary containment until it is certain they are not leaking. If a battery acid spill occurs, baking soda used to neutralize the acid is still considered hazardous and must be disposed of properly. Liquid wastes cannot be poured down the drain. Make sure proper signage is present near sinks and storm drains to inform employees. Consider recycling degreasers, used oil and oil filters, antifreeze, cleaning solution, automotive batteries, and hydraulic fluid. Also, consider purchasing recycled products Aircraft & Equipment Washing Aircraft washing is prohibited at FLL unless details of the washing system have been submitted to BCAD for review and acceptance. This is due to the fact that washing aircraft and other equipment can pollute storm water if not done in an appropriate manner. Wash water from washing aircraft can contain harmful substances and therefore is considered wastewater. Only wash aircraft in a designated area that is designed to collect all wash water that is generated. The high concentrations of solvents, oil and grease, detergents, and metals that are present in wash water can pollute groundwater if aircraft is washed over an unpaved surface. Also, paved surfaces allow the pollutants from wash water to be washed into a storm drain during a storm. Therefore, aircraft washing areas need to be bermed in order to prevent wash water runoff. Consider filtering and recycling wash water in order to reduce water usage. Since proper disposal of wash water can be costly; recycling will reduce operating costs as well. Use phosphate-free biodegradable detergents. Phosphates can cause significant environmental impact when they are allowed to enter into bodies of surface water such as lakes, ponds, and rivers. Phosphate causes unusually high aquatic plant growth that reduces dissolved oxygen in the water which may cause fish kills Cargo Handling Locate loading/unloading equipment and vehicles where leaks can be contained, and will not come into contact with storm water. Check loading/unloading vehicles and equipment regularly for leaks, especially at valves, pumps, flanges, and connections. Dust and fumes are common signs that material is being lost during loading/unloading operations. Cover loading/unloading docks and areas to prevent exposure of materials, vehicles and equipment to rain. Rainfall may wash pollutants off of machinery, vehicles and the ground and carry it into a storm water drain. Prevent storm water runoff from crossing the loading/unloading area. Rainwater flowing across loading/unloading areas can wash contaminants directly into storm drains. Position berms, roof downspouts, and valley gutters to direct storm water away from the loading/unloading area.

(MACTEC) Chemical Storage - Spill Prevention Ensure that all storage of oil and hazardous materials meet standards set forth by Federal and State laws. Federal regulations set specific standards for preventing contact with storm water and collecting and treating runoff from hazardous waste storage areas. Have a Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure Plan (SPCC). Ensure training of operators on proper chemical disposal and storage techniques. Install safeguards against accidental releases such as overflow protection devices, protective guards around tanks and piping to prevent vehicle damage, and clearly tagged and labeled valves. Inspect tank systems and check tank integrity regularly. Have operators perform visual inspections and professional engineers audit newly installed tank systems. Surround tanks with a secondary containment system or berms to prevent leaks and runon/off. Store hazardous waste in approved containers with closed lids at all times. Containers should be protected from the elements (rain, wind, heat, humidity) and cooled or ventilated if appropriate. Containers should be inspected weekly for damage or leaks. Post proper signage near hazardous waste storage areas (such as: No Smoking, Fire Hazard, and Hazardous Waste ). Separate waste containers by a berm, dike, or wall to prevent reactions among waste. Chemical storage areas should have adequate isle space and spill response materials nearby. Do not dispose of chemicals (hazardous waste) in dumpsters or trash cans. Do not mix dissimilar waste streams (such as organic solvents and aqueous solutions) in one container. If non-compatible wastes are mixed, they could cause dangerous chemical reactions. Also, mixed waste cannot be economically recycled. Do not mix non-hazardous waste with hazardous waste. If mixed, the whole batch becomes hazardous and the cost of disposal increases Chemical Storage - Spill Response Have a Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure Plan (SPCC). Sweeping: Useful for removing small quantities of dry chemicals and solids. It is a low cost practice that can be performed by all employees and requires no special equipment or training. Sweeping work areas regularly can reduce the amount of hazardous material exposed to rain fall and prevent tracking of hazardous material outside the work area. Be sure to clean and store brooms properly after use. Shoveling: Useful for removing larger quantities of dry chemicals, dry solids, wet solids, and sludge, especially from sites not easily accessible by mechanical cleanup methods. Consider planning for the transport and disposal or reuse of the shoveled materials. Be sure to clean and store shovels properly after use. Excavation Practices: Useful for large releases of dry materials or areas contaminated by liquid material releases. Involves the removal of contaminated materials typically using mechanical equipment such as plows and backhoes. Store all equipment and machinery appropriately to avoid exposure to precipitation and dispose of excavated materials properly. Vacuum and Pump Systems: Useful for cleaning up spilled or exposed dry or wet materials. Vacuum and pump systems can be expensive initially and require equipment maintenance but are simple and fast ways to clean up a spill and are often portable. Be sure to plan for the proper disposal or reuse of the collected materials. Sorbents: Useful to clean up spills in water environments through the process of adsorption and absorption. Some examples of common absorbent materials are clay, polymers, activated

22 Ft. Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport January 2009 Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan Project No MACTEC Engineering and Consulting, Inc. (MACTEC) carbon, and universal sorbent material which is a silicate glass foam. Employees should be trained to know which sorbents are correct to use for each potential type of spill. Be sure to plan for the proper disposal of the contaminated sorbents. Gels: Useful for facilities with significant amounts of liquid materials stored onsite. They can be used to stop a material s movement by interacting with liquids by concentrating or congealing it into a semisolid. The semisolid solidifies and can be removed via mechanical or manual methods. As with sorbents, employees should be trained in proper use and application of different gel types. Be sure to plan for the proper disposal of the contaminated gels Lavatory Services Lavatory station cleanout and waste disposal activities are closely monitored by BCAD. Any operators that cause or allow the release of lavatory station fluids are subject to fines and other enforcement actions. Regularly inspect lavatory transfer trucks to ensure that all equipment is in proper working order. Special attention should be paid to the integrity of the shutoff valve for the discharge line. Spill pans and absorbent pads should be stocked on the trucks in the event of a leak or spill. Ensure proper training of operators. Operators should be made aware of potential environmental impacts that could result and fines the company could incur if the operator allows spills and does not correct leaks. Operators must be trained regarding the proper disposal location of the lavatory waste, and informed of the ramifications if they were to discharge lavatory waste directly to a sewer or storm drain. Clean up any and all spills that occur Painting & Stripping Painting and stripping activities are closely monitored by BCAD. All operators must submit a detailed description of their painting and stripping process to the BCAD Environmental Compliance section for acceptance prior to performing any painting or stripping activities. Contain wastes from sanding. Avoid sanding in windy weather and enclose outdoor sanding areas with tarps or plastic sheeting. Move the sanding activity indoors if possible, but be sure to always provide adequate ventilation and personal safety equipment for employees. Keep workshops clean of sanding waste. Storm water runoff polluted by dust from sanding and grinding can contain toxic metals which harm fish and wildlife. Use tarps, drip pans, or other spill collection devices to prevent paint from contaminating storm water runoff. Dispose of collected wastes properly. Before painting, inspect the part or vehicle to be painted to ensure that it is dry, clean and rust free to ensure a longer-lasting paint job. Reduce painting waste by using efficient painting tools such as electrostatic spray equipment, air-atomized spray guns, high-volume/low-pressure spray guns, and gravity fed guns. Conventional airless spray guns can lose as much as 70% of their paint as overspray which can then contaminate storm water. Ensure proper training of operators to reduce overspray and the amount of paint used per job. Consider recycling paint, paint thinner, and solvents. Also consider using recycled products when available.
