Airports and airlines continue to work together to offer safe, reliable and cost-effective access to the world. There are many complex interactions at an airport, and addressing environmental issues is just one of the many functions an airport and airline must master. One of the key environmental issues affecting airports/airlines where frost or freezing conditions occur is the safe, efficient and environmentally protective management of deicer-affected storm water. Even those airports in the warmer southern United States have periods of freezing weather, whereby aircraft must be deiced. Although infrequent, the potential exists for adverse effects, and the need to establish a management plan based on risk is paramount.
