Title: Effluent Limitations Guidelines and Standards for Airport Deicing Operations | |
Abstract: In EPAs 2004 Effluent Guidelines plan, we announced that we would begin development of a regulation to control the pollutants discharged from airport deicing operations. Based on preliminary study and on public comments, discharges from deicing operations have the potential to cause fish kills, algae blooms, and contamination to surface or ground waters. A source of these pollutants is aircraft deicing fluid that is not properly recaptured, re-used, or treated before discharge. Deicing agents typically contain glycols and additives. There is great disparity among airports in terms of wastewater treatment and also in terms of discharge permits. Effluent guidelines for these operations would apply only to wastewaters that are considered point source discharges. Discharges that are non-point sources would not be subject to any potential effluent guidelines. | |
