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.

(Continued) 





Practice 





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.

Description 


Best Management Practices 


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.

Best Management Practices 
Container and Material Storage and Handling 


A variety of products and materials that may adversely affect water quality may be stored at tenant 
facilities or common use areas of the AOA. These BMPs are intended to reduce the potential for 
the contamination of stormwater by minimizing exposure of such products and materials to 
stormwater, minimizing hazardous materials used on-site, and training employees in proper 
handling and use of materials. 


Limitations 


Materials and waste cannot be stored in the common use areas of the AOA without approval 
from the AOC/AOM/Security. 


Practice 





O 


Store materials (e.g., tires, metals, etc.) indoors or in covered areas wherever 
practical. Store materials in their original or appropriate containers as 
recommended by the manufacturer. 





Whenever possible, outdoor storage areas should be situated away from areas prone 
to flooding and in a location where they will not be accidentally damaged by 
equipment or vehicles. When storing non-liquid materials (e.g., tires, metals, etc.) 
outdoors, place off the ground on top of dunnage to minimize contact with 
stormwater runoff/run-on. Cover materials with a tarp when storing them outdoors, 
whenever practical, to prevent pollutants from leaching into stormwater or mixing 
with stormwater runoff. 





Single-walled liquid storage containers with capacity of 25 gallons or above and 
used batteries shall be stored indoors or under cover, and within secondary 
containment measures. Liquid accumulation in secondary containment measures 
should be minimized, managed, and disposed of properly. 





Liquid containers with capacity less than 25 gallons shall be stored indoors or under 
cover within secondary containment measures. Liquid accumulation in secondary 
containment measures should be minimized, managed, and disposed of properly. 





Store reactive, ignitable, or flammable materials in compliance with federal, state, 
and county regulations. Store small containers of flammable materials within 
flammable storage lockers. 





Ensure that all liquid containers are closed, secured to prevent movement, stored 
neatly and away from high traffic areas (if possible) to avoid accidental spills, and 
properly labeled. 





Ensure that all empty containers are properly labeled as “empty” when stored on- 
site. 














Inspect storage areas regularly. Look for leaking or corroded containers, chemical 
discoloration, or other changes in the containers or contents that may indicate a 
potentially hazardous condition or chemical deterioration.

hazardous alternative materials where possible. Properly dispose of any unusable 
material, such as dried out paint. 





ASTs and MSTs shall be kept in good condition (i.e., free of damage with no signs 
of failure) to prevent potential spills or releases and should be properly labeled. 
Single-walled ASTs and MSTs must be stored within secondary containment and 
meet DOT and Airport standards. If possible, a canopy or cover should be installed 
over ASTs used for fueling or transfer of products. 





Maintain spill kits where spills may occur (e.g., liquid material storage areas, 
fueling areas, etc.) or where a rapid response can be made. Spill kits should be 
stocked in accordance with the BMPs in the Good Housekeeping Practices section; 
Aircraft, Vehicle, and Aircraft, Vehicle, and Equipment Maintenance and Repair 
section; and Aircraft, Vehicle, and Equipment Fueling section of this Manual. 


Use absorbent materials to contain spills where appropriate. Promptly clean spills 
with rags or absorbent material, and properly dispose of used spill cleanup 
materials. Disposal of hazardous spilled material and spent cleanup materials 
should be in accordance with the BMPs outlined in the Solid Waste Storage and 
Disposal section of this Manual. For spill response procedures, refer to the BMPs 
in the Spill Prevention and Response section of this Manual. 





Recycle anti-freeze, used oil, solvents, windshield washer fluid, batteries, 
degreasers, paints, thinners, etc., as appropriate. 





Develop and implement a SPCC Plan, if required, based on facility oil storage and 
operations. Ensure the SPCC Plan is updated at the required frequency or if 
storage capacity and/or changes to facility are made in accordance with the SPCC 
rule. Conduct inspections and training per SPCC Plan requirements at the required 
frequency. 














Conduct employee training, as described under the Good Housekeeping Practices 
section of this Manual, at a minimum annually, or as required. Train all employees 
who work in areas where industrial materials or activities are exposed to 
stormwater.

Best Management Practices 
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. 














Practice 
Use the entire product before disposing of the container. Minimize use of hazardous 
O 1 : : : ; : 
materials on-site. Use less hazardous, alternative materials, where possible. 
q > DO NOT remove the original product label; it contains important safety and disposal 
information. If a container is empty, label as such, or properly dispose of it. 
Maintain good integrity of all liquid waste storage containers (e.g., used oils, 
Oo 3 hydraulic fluids, spent solvents, waste aircraft fuel). Inspect containers regularly 


and transfer waste from damaged containers into proper containers that are intact 
and ensure new containers are properly labeled. 





Identify, list, and maintain an inventory of all chemical substances present in the 
O 4 facility. Compile an inventory of SDSs for all chemical substances and maintain 
them in an accessible location for employees. 


























oO 5 Only purchase and store needed quantities of hazardous materials. 
oq 6 Water-based paints should be dried and properly disposed of in dumpsters. Dispose 
of excess oil-based paints and sludge as hazardous waste. 
O 7 Designate an indoor or covered area for hazardous waste collection. 
q g Hazardous waste should be stored in secure, closed containers, and protected from 
damage. Store hazardous waste containers within secondary containment measures.

Spill Prevention and Response 


Description 

Spills of materials used and stored at tenant facilities can impact stormwater runoff. The BMPs 
outlined in this section are intended to prevent spills from occurring and outline procedures to be 
followed in the event of a spill. 


Small spills of oil (less than 25 gallons) can be cleaned up using absorbent materials or other 
acceptable practices as long as they are cleaned up within 72 hours and do not threaten ground or 
surface waters. All spills five gallons or more must be reported to Airport personnel according to 
the Spill Reporting Fact Sheet for your airport. Daily inspections of the facility shall be conducted 
to identify any small spills, which shall be addressed immediately. 


In the event of a large or uncontrolled release, the owner or manager of the facility shall act as the 
Emergency Coordinator (EC). Employees shall follow the BMPs listed below, where practicable. 


Limitations 
There are no major limitations to the implementation of these BMPs. 





Practice 





Immediately STOP WORK in the event of a spill and initiate spill cleanup

Best Management Practices 
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 
O 6 | leak-prone spots during liquid transfer operations. Drip pans should also be 
used for leaking delivery trucks, where appropriate. 





CO 7 | Conduct regular broom sweeping of the loading and unloading area. 





Maintain spill kits on all petroleum storage tank trucks as well as near the loading 
CO 8 | and unloading areas. In addition, place sufficient spill kits where it will be readily 
accessible.

Best Management Practices 
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) 





If an accidental spill occurs: Stop, Notify Airport Personnel, and Cleanup. 
Notify Airport Personnel in accordance with the Spill Reporting Fact Sheet for 
the airport. This can be found on the environmental webpage

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. 


Attachment II - 2
