ACRP Impacts on Practice – Identifying Practices for Controlling Aircraft and Airfield Deicing Runoff
The latest issue of TRB’s Airport Cooperative Research Program (ACRP) Impacts on Practice examines how the Gerald R. Ford International Airport (GRR) in Grand Rapids, Michigan utilized
ACRP Report 14: Deicing Planning Guidelines and Practices for Stormwater Management Systems to develop a long-term stormwater and deicing program that would maintain airport safety and comply with environmental regulations.
The report’s guidelines eliminated the need for identifying best management practices and helped the airport clearly define and engineer a stormwater management system that fit GRR’s specific needs. As a result, the airport was able to produce a plan that met timely approval by the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality.
