During winter weather, Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations require all aircraft to be free of contamination at takeoff and that runway friction be maintained. To meet these regulations and to help assure the safety of airport passengers and personnel, deicing agents are commonly used to remove frost, snow, and ice from planes and pavement. The Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) Aerospace Council has a set of approved deicers for planes and runways; continued on page 2 however, some of these treatments have potentially harmful environmental impacts if airport runoff discharge is not managed as required by the Clean Water Act. Maintaining safety and developing effective runoff management methods can be difficult to achieve, especially for small airports that possess limited staff, resources, and funding.
