Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan - Phoenix Sky Harbor ...

Section 1 - Introduction
This Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) is for the covers activities at the
Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX). This document addresses the
pollution prevention requirements of the Arizona Pollutant Discharge Elimination
System (AZPDES) Stormwater Multi-Sector General Permit for Industrial Activities
AZMSGP2010-002 (MSGP-2010) released by the Arizona Department of Environmental
Quality (ADEQ). The MSGP-2010 is included in this SWPPP as Attachment 1, as
required by MSGP-2010 Part 5.4. This plan has been prepared in accordance with good
engineering practices and the MSGP-2010 SWPPP requirements. This SWPPP replaces
previous SWPPPs and has been updated to address current operations at PHX.
The SWPPP is designed to:
• Identify sources of pollution potentially affecting the quality of stormwater discharges
associated with industrial activities that are covered under the MSGP-2010;
• Describe and ensure implementation of practices to minimize and control pollutants
in stormwater discharges from these industrial activities; and
• Ensure compliance with the terms and conditions of the MSGP-2010.
1.1 Contents of the SWPPP
The SWPPP organization generally follows the sequence of SWPPP requirements in the
MSGP-2010, as follows:

Part 5.1.1.
3. Site Description. Presents the information required by MSGP-2010 Parts 5.1.2 and
8.S.5.1 describing general airport activities and providing general and site
specific maps.
4. Potential Pollutant Sources. Summarizes the industrial activities conducted at
PHX with exposure to stormwater (MSGP-2010 Part 5.1.3.1), lists the activitiesrelated
pollutants (MSGP-2010 Parts 5.1.3.2 and 8.S.5.2), includes COPAD
