Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan - Phoenix Sky Harbor ...

conducting activities with the potential to cause stormwater pollution to comply with
the SWPPP. For the purposes of compliance with this SWPPP, “co-permittee” refers to
all tenants, COPAD divisions and operators who conduct activities that may influence
stormwater quality. The stormwater program at PHX is managed by COPAD Planning,
Environmental, and Capital Management (PECM). PECM submitted Notices of Intent
(NOIs) to seek coverage under MSGP-2010 (for COPAD facilities and the co-permittees)
by the permit deadline of May 31, 2011. Copies of these NOIs are on the Stormwater
Database and a blank NOI is included as Attachment 2, as required by MSGP-2010 Part
5.4.
1.3 Site Background
Co-permittees perform a variety of industrial activities covered under the MSGP-2010
Sector S that have the potential to discharge pollutants to the stormwater drainage
system. PECM manages the MSGP stormwater pollution prevention program,
assuming the roles of both program administrator and co-permittee with participating
airport tenants and service providers.
As a condition of tenant lease agreements and obtaining access to do business, tenants
and other service providers at PHX are required to comply with applicable
environmental rules and regulations, including securing coverage under the MSGP-
2010, if applicable. Entities potentially subject to the MSGP-2010 at PHX include tenants,
such as air passenger and cargo companies, fixed-based operators (FBOs), and other
entities providing on-site services at PHX, such as aircraft, vehicle and equipment wash
companies, and aircraft, vehicle and equipment maintenance providers; and passenger
airlines with gate rights but no leaseholds. These tenants and other service providers
may choose to pursue coverage as co-permittees with COPAD. Companies requiring
MSGP-2010 coverage for industrial activities that choose not to participate as copermittees
must obtain their own MSGP-2010 coverage and develop and implement
their own SWPPPs. These individual SWPPPs must be at least as stringent as this
SWPPP.
There are also entities operating at PHX whose activities may impact stormwater quality
but that are not covered by the MSGP-2010, such as parking shuttle operators, airline
food service providers, and car rental agencies. These entities are not co-permittees but
must comply with the requirements of this SWPPP and the MSGP-2010 in order to
operate at PHX.
Sector-Specific Requirements
In addition to the general requirements contained with MSGP-2010, co-permittees
conducting industrial activities at PHX are subject to the requirements of Sector S (Air
Transportation). Sector-specific requirements include:
• additional control measures for good housekeeping and deicing (Section 5.2 and
Attachment 3.0)
• additional corrective action deadline requirements (Section 6.5)
• additional SWPPP requirements (various sections)
