Disclaimer
Industrial and commercial activities conducted at airports have the potential to discharge pollutants into the
DOTA MS4, drainage system, or State waters. Drainage system may include ditches, canals, inlets, and/or
drainage wells (such as UIC wells) Airport tenants (those who lease space(s) from DOTA, sub-lets, service
providers, and concessionaires) have a responsibility to prevent or reduce the release or discharge of
pollutants generated by their operations at their tenant space(s) and the common use areas of the AOA, such
as the ramp or hardstand areas. This Best Management Practice Field Manual for Operations at State of
Hawaii Airports (hereafter referred to as “Manual’’) shall serve as a guidance document for general activities
conducted by any and all tenants, concessionaires, and service providers at all State of Hawaii airports. The
list of federal, state, and local regulations that apply to environmental compliance at the airports is provided
in Attachment I. It is every airport user’s responsibility to ensure that their activities comply with all current
and applicable environmental laws and regulations, as well as their signed lease agreement or contract with
DOTA.
All tenants and/or their contractors, service providers, and concessionaires operating at the airport shall
adhere to the following BMPs in their tenant space(s) and common use areas, airport responsibilities as
described in HAR Title 19, Subtitle 2 — Airports Division, and pertinent state and federal regulations. In
the case of a conflict between tenants and/or their contractors’ company policies or procedures and the
BMPs provided by DOTA, tenants and/or their contractors shall follow the more stringent BMPs.

Description
Best Management Practices
Good Housekeeping Practices
Various operations conducted at airports have the potential to impact stormwater runoff. Good
housekeeping practices are intended to maintain a clean, safe, and environmentally friendly
working environment. Implementing good housekeeping BMPs reduces the potential for pollutants
to enter the DOTA MS4, drainage system, or State waters.
Limitations
There are no major limitations to the implementation of these BMPs.
Practice
DO NOT overfill dumpsters or leave trash outside of containers. Ensure that
materials are properly placed in dumpsters and do not leak to avoid commingling
with stormwater runoff. Use leak-proof dumpsters and keep them covered when
not in use. If dumpsters are damaged, delivered without lids, or leaking then
implement BMPs to prevent and/or contain discharges until dumpsters can be
repaired or replaced.
Remove and properly dispose of debris and trash from all areas daily. Keep
areas exposed to stormwater free of waste, garbage, and floatable debris to these
materials from being entrained in stormwater and transported offsite.
Schedule regular pickup and disposal of garbage and waste materials.
Dry sweep or vacuum all areas to prevent tracking of materials. DO NOT hose
down facility floors or outside areas unless a collection method and/or treatment
device is implemented to contain wash water. Collection methods and treatment
devices may include discharging to an OWS, discharging to an evaporation
pond, discharging to a vegetated sump or depression, or collecting with a vac-
truck. Properly dispose of collected wash water and dry material to prevent
potential impacts to stormwater.
Place spill kits in easily accessible areas and keep them stocked. If activities are
conducted in areas that pose a potential threat for non-stormwater discharges to
enter storm drain inlets, such as fueling activities, it may be necessary to include
drain mats or other preventative devices within spill kits to prevent such
discharges.
Clean up spills and leaks promptly using dry methods such as rags or absorbent
material to prevent pollutants from comingling with stormwater and being
transported offsite. Properly dispose of spent cleaning materials. Disposal of
hazardous spilled substances and spent cleanup materials shall be in accordance
with the BMPs outlined in the Solid Waste Storage and Disposal section of this
Manual as well as applicable rules and regulations.

O ‘3
Perform PBMP inspections, at a minimum annually, and perform maintenance as
required. Document and maintain records of all PBMP inspections and
maintenance. Refer to the PBMP Fact Sheet or more information.
Identify DOTA MS4 structures, drainage system, or State waters in each work
area and prevent non-stormwater discharges into them.
Inspect storm drain inlets regularly for sediment build-up or debris accumulation.
If the build-up and/or accumulation is not a result of tenant activity, notify AIR-
EE of the storm drain structure(s) that require cleaning. Otherwise, it is the
tenant’s responsibility to ensure that all storm drain inlets and catch basins are
maintained within their space(s).
Inspect and maintain tenant-installed BMPs (e.g., drain guards, inlet inserts, catch
basin inserts, biosocks, etc.). Report abandoned or unmaintained DOTA-installed
BMPs to AIR-EE.
Divert, infiltrate, reuse, contain, or otherwise reduce stormwater runoff to
minimize the discharge of pollutants.
Perform daily facility inspections to verify that good housekeeping practices are
being followed by facility personnel.
Maintain records for all permits and plans for a minimum of five years.
At a minimum, one person from each facility must complete the annual
Environmental Compliance Program Training video and survey. This training
covers BMPs listed in this Manual. If only one person completed the training, they
will be responsible for training other employees as necessary and keep a roster of
all personnel trained.
Please view the video and take the survey, all of which can be found at the
following link: Annual Environmental Compliance Program Training
Identify all chemical substances used in maintenance activities, compile SDSs for
hazardous chemicals, and store SDSs where chemicals are used in an
accessible location for employees. SDSs provide both workers and emergency
responders with the proper procedures for handling hazardous substances and
identify potential threats to personal health and the environment.

Aircraft, Vehicle, and Equipment Maintenance and Repair
Routine maintenance on aircraft, vehicles, and equipment must be done for proper operation and
to prevent leaks and spills. Additionally, emergency maintenance of aircraft and equipment outside
of tenant spaces may be required. Maintenance and repair activities may include fluids removal,
engine and parts cleaning, and/or tire repair and replacement. These activities present a potentially
significant source of contaminants due to the harmful materials used and the waste generated.
These BMPs are designed to prevent or reduce pollutants associated with maintenance and repair
activities from entering the DOTA MS4, drainage system, or State waters.
Limitations
Only emergency repair may be conducted in the common use areas of the AOA. All other
maintenance and repair activities must be conducted in appropriate areas of the tenant facility.
Practice
Maintain aircraft, vehicle, and equipment used at the facility or in the common use
areas of the AOA and keep in proper operating condition. Inspect aircraft,
vehicles, and equipment periodically for leaks and immediately implement
appropriate leak protection measures if a leak is observed, and repair as soon as
possible.
Perform aircraft, vehicle, and equipment maintenance and repair activities indoors
or under cover whenever possible and ensure that all maintenance and repair
activities are conducted away from the DOTA MS4, drainage system or State
waters. If emergency maintenance is conducted within the common use areas of the
AOA, BMPs must be in place. Perform an area inspection and clean up after
maintenance is conducted.
Store damaged and/or leaking aircraft, vehicles, and equipment indoors whenever
possible. When a drip or leak is identified, use drip protective measures to prevent
contact with ground (indoors or outdoors). Ifa drip pan is used outdoors, clean the
drip pan regularly to prevent overflow, especially during rain events. DO NOT
leave leaking aircraft, vehicles, and equipment parked within the common use areas
of the AOA overnight.
Remove fluids and batteries from damaged and/or salvage aircraft, vehicles, or
equipment before storage. Store damaged and/or salvage aircraft, vehicles, or
equipment under cover, if feasible, until repair or disposal. Inspect, at least monthly,
for signs of deterioration.
Use drip pans, tarps, or other liquid containment measures whenever fluids are being
removed to capture releases and prevent stormwater pollution. Clean the drip pans,
tarps, or liquid containment measures before they are full and properly dispose of
the contents.
Prior to fluids transfer, closely examine the container(s) to be used for transfer.
Carefully transfer fluids over pavement or concrete surface using a funnel or nozzle
to a designated storage container as soon as possible.

Solid Waste Storage and Disposal
Description
Some chemicals used at airports require waste management. Improper handling of solid waste may
result in contaminants entering stormwater runoff. The potential for discharge of these pollutants
can be reduced by using proper solid waste storage, handling, and disposal techniques, as well as
reducing the waste generation through reuse and recycling.
The solid wastes generated from tenant activities that may pose a threat to stormwater include, but
are not limited to, oil-based paints, solvents, thinners, petroleum products, used batteries, anti-
freeze, light ballasts, and other chemicals. Waste material categorized as hazardous waste,
universal waste, and/or used oil must be managed properly as required by federal and state
regulations (Appendix II). It is the responsibility of the hazardous waste generator to make a
hazardous waste determination and dispose of the waste properly.
The BMPs outlined in this section are intended to prevent or reduce the discharge of pollutants to
stormwater through proper solid waste storage and disposal, and training of employees and
subcontractors.
Limitations
All hazardous waste shall be disposed of by a certified hazardous waste hauler.

Outdoor Loading and Unloading Practices
Description
Loading and unloading activities involving cargo, HAZMAT, aircraft servicing, and waste
disposal operations are conducted at common use areas of the AOA and tenant spaces. The
loading and unloading of materials usually take place outside; therefore, materials spilled, leaked,
or lost during these activities may collect in the soil or on other surfaces and have the potential to
impact stormwater runoff. Implementation of these practices will prevent or reduce the discharge
of pollutants from the loading and unloading of materials to stormwater.
Limitations
There are no major limitations to the implementation of theses BMPs.
Practice
Perform loading and unloading operations in designated areas, away from DOTA
O 1) mMs4, drainage system, and State waters.
4 5 Utilize PPE such as eye protection, face shield, rubber gloves, and protective
apron when engaging in HAZMAT handling operations.
Park trucks or GSE in designated areas that have drainage controls to contain
O 3 spills or leaks of materials.
Limit exposure of material to rainfall, whenever possible, such as only loading or
unloading during dry weather or conducting loading and unloading operations
under cover. Whenever possible, avoid staging the loading/unloading area near
storm drains or cover storm drains during loading or unloading operations
g 5 Check loading/unloading equipment regularly for leaks. Remove any faulty or
leaking equipment from service.
Use drip pans underneath hose and pipe connections, access fittings, and other

Triturator Operation Practices
Description
The sanitary sewage and associated rinse waters produced during the servicing of aircraft lavatory
facilities must be discharged to the designated DOTA triturator facility. All tenants and applicable
personnel are responsible for proper disposal of waste associated with ground servicing of aircraft
lavatory facilities. The following BMPs outline the steps for proper operation of the triturator
facilities to minimize the risk of a wastewater spill.
Due to the potential for exposure to unknown pathogens, all wastewater spills, no matter how small,
must be reported to Duty Manager/Code 22, Ramp Control, dispatch, or ARFF. In the event of a
sewage spill, refer to HAR, Title 11, DOH, Chapter 62, Wastewater Systems.
Limitations
There are no major limitations to the implementation of these BMPs.
Practice
O 1 Ensure the pit door is open when discharging to a triturator facility.
oO > Position the vehicle so that the discharge pipe is centered over the pit to avoid
spillage.
o 3 Some triturators may require the activation of the equipment via a start button.
Verify that the triturator equipment is on prior to discharge.
O 4 DO NOT leave the vehicle unattended while waste is discharging.
Use the water hose to push clean water through the interior compartment of the
O 5 vehicle. Note: the exterior of vehicles should not be washed at the triturator
units.
Upon completion, check that the discharge valve is tightly closed to prevent
O 6 releases. In the event ofa faulty discharge valve, do not move the vehicle until
the discharge valve is repaired or corrected.
When discharge is complete, move the vehicle and clean area surrounding the
pit, as necessary.
o g Some triturators may require the deactivation of the equipment with a stop
button. Verify that the triturator equipment is off prior to departure.
Use the following warning signs to check for non-stormwater discharges:
e Distinct odor
e Black staining inside drainage pipe
e Visible evidence of sanitary waste (e.g., toilet paper, gray water)

SUMMARY OF FEDERAL AND STATE
REGULATIONS
FOR SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT
SUMMARY OF FEDERAL AND STATE REGULATIONS
FOR SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT
Solid waste is defined in 40 CFR § 261.2 and can be further classified into hazardous waste and non-
hazardous waste. Hazardous waste is defined in 40 CFR § 261.3, as well as HAR § 11-261-3. Hazardous
wastes are divided into listed wastes, characteristic wastes, universal wastes, and mixed wastes. It is the
responsibility of hazardous waste generators to make a hazardous waste determination and dispose of
hazardous waste properly. The identification and listing of hazardous waste and standards applicable to
hazardous waste generators are available in the 40 CFR §§ 261 and 262 as well as HAR §11-261 and HAR
§11-262. The facility can determine their hazardous waste generator status based on the following table:
Table 1 — Hazardous Waste Generator Status, Quantity, and Accumulation Time
Hazardous Waste
Quantity of Hazardous Waste Generated
On-site
Generator Status Per Calendar Month Accumulation Time
Large Quantity e > 1,000 kg or > 1 kg of acute hazardous < 90 days
Generators (LQGs) waste
e > 100 kg of acute spill residue or soil
No on-site accumulation limits
Small Quantity
Generators (SQGs)
e > 100 kg and < 1,000 kg
Never accumulate more than 6,000 kg at any one
< 180 days or
< 270 days (if
hazardous waste is
ne shipped 200 miles or
more)
Very Small Quantity ° <100kg None
G tors (VSQG
ee e <1kg of acute hazardous waste
e <100 kg of acute spill residue or soil
< 1,000 kg or < lkg acute hazardous waste or
< 100 kg of acute spill residue or soil
Universal waste, as defined in 40 CFR § 273 and HAR § 11-273, includes batteries, some pesticides,
mercury containing equipment (mercury thermostats), and bulbs (lamps and light ballasts). The universal
waste rules are not applicable to the VSQGs of hazardous waste. Universal waste handlers are classified
into small-quantity universal waste handlers and large-quantity universal waste handlers. A small-quantity
handler of universal waste means a universal waste handler accumulates less than 5,000 kilograms total of
universal waste (1.e., batteries, pesticides, or thermostats, calculated collectively) at any time (HAR § 11-
273-6). A large quantity handler of universal waste means a universal waste handler who accumulates
5,000 kilograms or more total of universal waste (1.e., batteries, pesticides, or thermostats, calculated
collectively) at any time (HAR § 11-273-6). This designation as a large-quantity handler of universal waste
is retained through the end of the calendar year in which 5,000 kilograms or more total of universal waste
is accumulated.
Universal waste must be managed in a way that prevents release of any universal waste or component of a
universal waste to the environment. Universal waste must be labeled or marked to identify the type of
universal waste as follows: Universal Waste — Batteries, Universal Waste — Lamps, Universal Waste —
Pesticides, and Universal Waste — Mercury Containing Equipment or Universal Waste — Mercury
Thermostat. Universal waste can be stored for one year starting from the date the universal waste was
generated. A large quantity universal waste handler is not required to maintain their waste manifest;
Attachment II - 1
however, they are required to keep basic shipping records (40 CFR § 273.39). A small quantity universal
waste handler is not required to maintain their waste manifest or basic shipping records (40 CFR § 273.19).
Used oil, as defined in 40 CFR § 279.1 and HAR § 11-279-1, is regulated under the 40 CFR § 279, HAR
§ 11-279, and HAR§ 11-261-6(a)(4). Containers and aboveground tanks used to store used oil as well as
fill pipes used to transfer used oil into USTs at generator facilities must be labeled or marked clearly with
the words “Used Oil.” Additionally, used oil generators are subject to all applicable SPCC requirements
(40 CFR § 112). Used oil generators are also subject to the state’s UST standards and any applicable federal
standards for used oil stored in underground tanks whether or not the used oil exhibits any characteristics
of hazardous waste.
