TRB Webinar: Planning an Effective Airport Deicing Runoff Management Program
Airports must maintain compliance with environmental regulations associated with deicing operations. TRB is hosting a webinar on Tuesday, December 8, 2020 from 2:00 to 3:30 PM Eastern that will discuss an adaptive management planning approach for deicing operations at airports, based upon a Best Management Practices (BMPs) framework. Presenters will describe five categories of BMPs: aircraft deicing source reduction, airfield pavement deicing source reduction, deicing stormwater runoff containment and collection, deicing runoff treatment and recycling, and deicing runoff system components. The webinar features research from ACRP Research Report 14: Deicing Planning Guidelines and Practices for Stormwater Management Systems, Second Edition. This webinar is sponsored by the Airport Cooperative Research Program. There is no fee to attend this webinar; however, sign into MyTRB.org to view registration information. Webinar agenda and presenters: Examples of deicing runoff control practices: Chuck Pace, EA Engineering, Science, and Technology, Inc.
