Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan - Phoenix Sky Harbor ...

elease of oil or hazardous substances in excess of quantities that are reportable under
Section 311 of the Clean Water Act (CWA) or Section 102 of the Comprehensive
Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA). For the purposes
of this SWPPP, the definition of significant spills has been broadened to include spills or
leaks that entered the storm drain system.
COPAD has an effective spill response program that includes the City of Phoenix
Aviation Department Rules and Regulation for Fuel Release and Releases of Other
Regulated Substances (R&R 01-01). This Rule establishes the procedures for internal
reporting, response, clean up, documentation and subsequent notifications associated
with fuel releases and releases of other regulated substances occurring at PHX. The full
document may be found at the following link: http://skyharbor.com/pdf/RR_01-01-
Fuel-Release.pdf or in Attachment 4.
There have been no spills of toxic or hazardous pollutants in excess of reportable
quantities under Section 311 of CWA or Section 102 of the CERCLA in the last three (3)
years. Should a reportable spill occur, spill records, including descriptions of incidents
involving significant spills, leaks or other releases that resulted in discharges of
pollutants in stormwater to Waters of the United States (i.e., Salt River), the
circumstances leading up to the release and the measures taken to prevent the
recurrence of such releases will be documented and maintained on COPAD’s
Stormwater Database and with the SWPPP in Attachment 5, as required by MSGP-2010
Part 5.4.
4.4 Unauthorized Non-Stormwater Discharges
MSGP-2010 Part 1.1.3 lists the following allowable non-stormwater discharges
applicable to PHX:
1. Fire fighting system testing and maintenance, including hydrant flushing;
2. Discharges related to installation and maintenance of potable water supply
systems, including disinfection and flushing activities, discharges resulting from
pressure releases or overflows, and discharges from wells approved by ADEQ
for drinking water use;
3. Uncontaminated condensate from air conditioners, evaporative coolers, and
other compressors and from the outside storage of refrigerated gases or liquids;
4. Irrigation drainage and irrigation line flushing;
5. Landscape watering provided all pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizer have been
applied in accordance with the approved labeling;
6. Routine external building wash down that does not use detergents;
