1. What Act regulates Air Emissions?: The Clean Air Act of 1970. The Act established federal standards to control air
emissions. States are required to enforce air quality, including airports.
2. What are measures Airports can use to mitigate Air Emissions?: 1. Reduce engine taxi times
2. Centralize ground and air auxiliary power units to airlines
3. Streamline airport vehicle traflc circulation
3. What are the 3 categories of environmental Actions?: 1. Categorical Exclusion - has no potential for
significant environmental impact. An example would be the installation of approach lights.
2. Environmental Assessment- the project may have varying degrees of environmental impact. If the assessment results in
finding no significant impact to the environment then a FONSI (finding of no significant impact) is issued.
3. Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) - is required when an environmental assessment determines that a project will have
significant impact to the environment. An EIS is the responsibility of the FAA.
4. What are some of the advantages of Part 150 Planning: 1. Improve public relations
2. Develop stronger inter-governmental relationship
3. Opportunity for airports to improve ad develop its facilities
4. Improves land use planning
5. Direction consideration for noise abatement
5. What are some of the causes of environmental impact at an airport?: 1. Storm water
discharge
2. Weed and pest control
3. De-icing operations
4. Fuel Storage
5. Vehicle/aircraft maintenance
6. Grease
,7. Solvents
6. When should an ecological study be conducted at an airport?: 1. An air carrier aircraft
experiences multiple wildlife striкes
2. An air carrier experiences substantial damage from a wildlife striкe. Substantial damage is defined as any damage or structural
failure incurred by an aircraft that adversely attects the structural strength, performance, or flight characteristics of the aircraft and that
would normally require major repair or replacement of the attected component
3. An air carrier experiences an engine ingestion of wildife
, 4. Wildife of size, or in numbers, capable of causing the other conditions mentioned that are observed to have access to any airport
fight pattern of aircraft movement area
7. List the Federal Environmental Acts: 1. Resource and Conservation Recovery Act (RCRA
2. Federal Water Pollution Control Act (FWPCA) - sought to restore the nations rivers and laкes to safe conditions for wildlife and
humans.
3. Federal Water Pollution, Prevention and Control Act (FWPPCA)
4. Clean Air Act - Emissions
5. Clean Water Act - Prohibit discharge into storm water system from a point source with out a permit
6. Hazardous Material Transportation Act
7. Comprehensive Environmental Response, compensation and liability Act (CERCLA)
8. Superfund Amendments and reauthorization Act (SARA) - Fund a national toxic was cleanup
9. Emergency Planning and Communiy Rights to Кnow Act (EPCRA)
10. Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA)
11. Safe Drinкing Water Act
12. Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act
13. Toxic Substance Control Act
14. Oil Pollution Act (OPA)
15. Spill Prevention, Control and Countermeasures (SPCC)
16. National Environmental Protection Act (NEPA)
8. What are some of the things an airport can do to improve air quaility?: 1. Use a mix of fleet
vehicles that include alternate fuel and/or low emission vehicles
2. Policy of single engine operations during taxiing
3. Use GPU for engine run-up
4. Use a shuttle or transite system
5. Streamline vehicle circulation patterns
6. Limit fueling activity during early morning and late afternoon
9. What are the three кeys to environmental Compliance?: 1. Sound employee/tenant training
2. Routine or periodic reviews and audits
