Outfalls
003
and
007
have
several
drainage
basins
and
storm

Intermittent
or
marginal
streams
that
run
through
the
airport
have
been
channelized
into
ditches
or
directed
through
underground
separate
storm
sewers.
Outfall
003
is
a
channelized
ditch
with
dry
weather
flow,
and
is
a
tributary
to
the
Oak
Creek.
Outfall
007
is
the
confluence
of
two
large
concrete
enclosed
storm
sewers
with
dry
weather
flow,
and
is
part
of
Wilson
Park

Note:
There
may
be
other
minor
outfalls
or
discharge
points
where
runoff
may
leave
the
permitted
area,
such
as
intermittent
channelized
flow.
These
discharges
are
also
authorized.

3.2

Chemical
Analysis
Sample
the
outfalls
listed
in
Table
5.1
for
chemical
analysis
to
quantify
pollutants
of
concern.
The
parameters
listed
in
Tables
5.2.1,
and
5.2.2
above
represents
the
Department's
minimum
required
chemical
analysis
that
shall
be
conducted.

5.2.3.5
Sampling
Procedure
The
following
requirements
apply
to
collecting
samples
when
chemical
analysis
is
conducted:
(
a)
Samples
shall
be
collected
from
storms
which
are
preferably
at
least
50%
of
the
monthly
average
precipitation
event
amount,
but
no
less
than
0.1
inch
rain.
The
runoff
event
sampled
shall
be
at
least
72
hours
from
the
previously
measurable
precipitation
event
greater
than
0.1
inch.

(
b)
The
storm
water
sample
shall
be
representative
of
the
"
first
flush"
of
storm
water
runoff.
When
runoff
first
appears
in
the
outfall
or
as
soon
thereafter
as
practicable,
a
sample
shall
be
collected
during
a
30
minute
period.
A
minimum
of
3
sample
portions,
evenly
spaced
throughout
the
30
minute
sampling
period,
shall
be
collected
for
a
composite
sample.
As
an
alternative,
a
"
flow
weighted
composite"
sample
for
the
entire
storm
water
event
may
be
collected
in
place
of
the
"
first
flush"
composite.
In
addition,
a
grab
sample
shall
be
collected
within
the
first
30
minutes
of
the
runoff
for
those
parameters
being
analyzed
that
require
a
grab
sample.
If
the
storm
water
discharge
is
from
a
storage
facility
with
at
least
24
hours
holding
time,
a
representative
grab
shall
be
collected
from
the
storage
facility
for
analysis
of
all
parameters.

(
c)
When
sampling
snow
melt
and
deicing
or
anti­
icing
events,
best
professional
judgment
shall
be
used
for
when
to
collect
a
representative
sample.

(
d)
A
narrative
description
shall
be
provided
of
each
storm
event
which
is
sampled,
including
the
date
and
duration
of
the
storm,
precipitation
amount
(
if
snowfall
include
inches
of
snow
and
rainfall
equivalent),
the
duration
between
the
storm
event
sampled
and
the
end
of
the
previous
measurable
storm
of
greater
than
0.1
inch
rainfall,
and
an
estimate
of
the
total
volume
of
storm
water
discharged.

(
e)
Approved
analytical
methods
shall
be
used
in
accordance
with
ch.
NR
219,
Wis.
Adm.
Code
"
Analytical
Test
Methods
and
Procedures",
or
guidance
on
storm
water
sampling
procedures
developed
by
the
Department.
When
no
analytical
method
is
approved,
a
suitable
method
may
be
used
provided
a
description
of
the
method
is
submitted
to
the
department
for
concurrence
prior
to
sampling.

5.2.3.6
Monitoring
Frequency
The
permittee
shall
conduct
monitoring
during
each
reporting
period
of
July
1
to
June
30,
which
includes
one
contiguous
deicing
season.
When
a
chemical
sample
is
collected,
a
visual
inspection
shall
be
done
concurrently.
All
monitoring
locations
shall
be
sampled
during
the
same
storm
or
snow
melt
event
if
possible.
(
a)
Visual
inspections
shall
be
made
quarterly
every
year.
At
least
2
of
the
quarterly
monitoring
dates
shall
be
during
a
deicing
or
anti­
icing
event.

(
b)
Samples
collected
for
chemical
analysis
are
required
every
year,
at
the
minimum
frequency
specified
in
Table
5.2.1,
and
5.2.2.
Chemical
monitoring
samples
shall
be
collected
during
a
deicing
or
anti­
icing
event.
Additional
samples
may
be
collected
as
necessary
for
data
collection.

(
c)
Monitoring
of
ammonia
nitrogen,
total
Kjeldahl
nitrogen,
hardness,
copper,
lead,
and
zinc
are
only
required
the
first
and
last
year
of
the
permit.

5.2.3.7
Sampling
Exemption
If
the
permittee
is
unable
to
collect
samples
due
to
adverse
climatic
conditions,
the
permittee
shall
describe
why
samples
could
not
be
collected
in
the
annual
report.
An
exemption
from
the
monitoring
requirements
shall
be
given
for
just
cause,
however,
this
does
not
relieve
the
permittee
of
complying
with
the
monitoring
requirements
when
weather
conditions
allow
sampling.

Within
the
first
30
minutes
of
when
runoff
first
appears
at
the
monitoring
location,
or
as
soon
thereafter
as
practicable,
observations
of
the
discharge
shall
be
made.
Characterization
of

7.2.4.5
Sampling
Procedure
The
following
requirements
apply
to
collecting
samples
when
chemical
analysis
is
conducted:
(
a)
Samples
shall
be
collected
from
storms
which
are
preferably
at
least
50%
of
the
monthly
average
precipitation
event
amount,
but
no
less
than
0.1
inch
rain.
The
runoff
event
sampled
shall
be
at
least
72
hours
from
the
previously
measurable
precipitation
event
greater
than
0.1
inch.

(
b)
The
storm
water
sample
shall
be
representative
of
the
"
first
flush"
of
storm
water
runoff.
When
runoff
first
appears
in
the
outfall
or
as
soon
thereafter
as
practicable,
a
sample
shall
be
collected
during
a
30
minute
period.
A
minimum
of
3
sample
portions,
evenly
spaced
throughout
the
30
minute
sampling
period,
shall
be
collected
for
a
composite
sample.
As
an
alternative,
a
"
flow
weighted
composite"
sample
for
the
entire
storm
water
event
may
be
collected
in
place
of
the
"
first
flush"
composite.
In
addition,
a
grab
sample
shall
be
collected
within
the
first
30
minutes
of
the
runoff
for
those
parameters
being
analyzed
that
require
a
grab
sample.
If
the
storm
water
discharge
is
from
a
storage
facility
with
at
least
24
hours
holding
time,
a
representative
grab
shall
be
collected
from
the
storage
facility
for
analysis
of
all
parameters.

(
c)
When
sampling
snow
melt
and
deicing
or
anti­
icing
events,
best
professional
judgment
shall
be
used
for
when
to
collect
a
representative
sample.

(
d)
A
narrative
description
shall
be
provided
of
each
storm
event
which
is
sampled,
including
the
date
and
duration
of
the
storm,
precipitation
amount
(
if
snowfall
include
inches
of
snow
and
rainfall
equivalent),
the
duration
between
the
storm
event
sampled
and
the
end
of
the
previous
measurable
storm
of
greater
than
0.1
inch
rainfall,
and
an
estimate
of
the
total
volume
of
storm
water
discharged.

(
e)
Approved
analytical
methods
shall
be
used
in

Maximum
Extent
Practicable
The
design
and
sizing
of
the
deicing
and
anti­
icing
controls
for
the
glycol
management
area
shall
be
based
on
a
costeffective
analysis
of
the
control
concept
to
reduce
glycol
discharges
to
the
maximum
extent
practicable.
The
control
strategy
may
be
based
on
the
US
EPA's
1994
Combined
Sewer
Overflow
Policy
"
Presumption"
approach.
This
strategy
would
target
a
minimum
of
85%
capture
of
glycol
contaminated
runoff,
excluding
fugitive
glycol,
from
the
glycol
management
area
based
upon
total
glycol
usage
during
each
deicing
season.
At
an
85%
capture
rate,
the
permittee
is
presumed
to
be
in
compliance
unless
this
capture
rate
is
determined
to
be
non­
cost
effective.
The
permittee
shall
estimate
the
capture
rate
of
glycol
in
the
annual
report
based
on
the
volumes
and
concentration
of
glycol
applied
to
aircraft
and
captured
through
deicing
and
anti­
icing
control
efforts.
Note:
For
the
purposes
of
this
permit,
the
glycol
management
area
is
defined
as
the
airport
terminal
area
and
cargo
ramp
area
where
the
majority
of
the
aircraft
deicing
and
anti­
icing
occurs.

7.2.5.3
Fugitive
Glycol
The
percent
of
glycol
captured
and
percent
discharged
will
only
apply
to
the
glycol
draining
onto
the
glycol
management
area.
It
is
assumed
50%
of
the
total
glycol
in
Type
I
aircraft
deicing
fluids
(
ADFs)
and
15%
of
the
glycol
in
Type
IV
aircraft
anti­
icing
fluids
(
AAFs)
used
on
ramps
and
applied
to
aircraft
will
drain
to
the
glycol
management
area.
The
other
50%
of
the
glycol
in
Type
I
ADF
and
85%
of
glycol
in
AAF
is
considered
fugitive
and
can
not
be
cost
effectively
captured.
Fugitive
glycol
includes
glycol
that
shears
off
aircraft
upon
take­
off,
glycol
that
dissipates
as
vapor
into
the
atmosphere,
and
glycol
used
outside
the
glycol
management
area.
Any
reduction
in
the
amount
glycol
discharged
represents
the
reduction
that
may
result
from
a
maximum
of
50%
of
the
total
amount
of
glycol
in
Type
I
ADF
and
15%
of
the
glycol
in
Type
IV
AAF
used.
Note:
If
future
data
indicates
a
different
value
for
the
fugitive
percentage
is
more
accurate,
that
shall
be
used.
The
50%
and
85%
numbers
on
based
upon
current
finding
at
several
airports
and
represent
the
best
estimate
available.

7.2.5.4
Conservation
Efforts
Recent
advances
in
aircraft
deicing
practices
and
technology
have
resulted
in
significant
reductions
in
total
glycol
required
to
effectively
deice
or
anti­
ice
an
aircraft.
The
amount
of
glycol
required
to
coat
an
aircraft
and
provide
adequate
hold­
over
time
remains
approximately
the
same.
The
reductions
in
glycol
use
are
largely
the
result
of
minimizing
ADF
runoff.
As
a
result,
there
is
less
glycol
available
for
capture.
Fugitive
glycol
remains
about
the
same.
These
advances
make
it
necessary
to
account
for
the
effects
of
source
reduction
and
conservation
in
calculating
an
appropriate
capture
target
with
the
objective
of
85%
of
the
collectable
glycol.

The
effects
of
any
conservation
efforts
and
new
technologies
by
co­
permittees
shall
be
referenced
to

measurement
of
performance,
a
glycol
capture
goal
shall
be
determined
based
on
capturing
85%
of
the
collectable
glycol
runoff.
The
permittee
shall
compare
the
amount
of
glycol
applied
for
deicing
and
anti­
icing
with
the
estimated
amount
of
glycol
captured.
This
comparison
provides
a
measurement
of
the
effectiveness
on
the
glycol
management
controls
to
prevent
discharges
of
glycol
contaminated
runoff
into
the
separate
storm
sewer
system.
If
the
percent
captured
for
disposal
or
recycling
meets
or
exceeds
the
annual
glycol
capture
goal
percentage,
the
airport
shall
be
considered
in
compliance.

A
glycol
capture
goal
shall
be
recalculated
in
each
annual
report
according
to
equations
(
3)
and
(
4)
below,
using
the
data
from
the
current
deicing
season
for
C,

Type
I,
and

Type
IV:

Equation
(
3):
85%
Collectable
Glycol
=
0.85[(
0.7
 
(
0.2
÷
C)]
×

Type
I
+
0.85
×
(
0.15
×

Type
IV)

C
=

C

X

Equation
(

Goal
=
[[
0.595
 
(

÷
C)
]
×

Type
I
+
0.1275
×

Type
IV
]
÷
(

Type
I
+

Type

×
100.

The
glycol
capture
goal
in
the
initial
permit
issuance,
where
C
is
100%
for
baseline
conditions,
was
85%
of
50%
of
the
glycol
or
42.5%
of
the
total
glycol
used.
It
is
understood
the
glycol
capture
goal
will
now
be
less
than
42.5%,
because
C
is
less
than
100%
due
to
conservation
efforts,
and
with
the
increased
use
of
Type
IV
glycol
there
is
a
smaller
amount
of
collectable
glycol.
Future
calculations
of
the
capture
goal
percentage
may
include
other
factors,
such
as
weather
conditions
and
airport
growth
that
may
affect
the
amount
of
collectable
glycol.
to
more
accurately
determine
what
the
capture
goal
percentage
should
be.
Any
revision
to
calculation
of
the
glycol
capture
goal
requires

Infrastructure
The
airport
may
continue
to
use
temporary
equipment
and
continue
pilot
activities
to
minimize
the
release
of
glycol
to
the
environment
and
maximize
the
capture
glycol
runoff
that
is
collectable.
Because
of
the
emerging
technologies
in
glycol
management
controls,
the
airport
is
allowed
this
operational
flexibility.
When
conditions
warrant
the
construction
of
permanent
infrastructure
for
glycol
management,
the
airport
shall
proceed
expeditiously
to
do
so.
If

for
permanent
facilities
are
not
completed
during
the
term
of
this
permit,
the
next
permit
reissuance
will
address
that
need.
There
is
no
compliance
schedule
at
this
time
for
permanent
infrastructure.
The
interim
temporary
measures
must
perform
adequately
and
comply
with
the
glycol
capture
goal.

Facilities
for
glycol
controls
must
receive
DNR
plan
approval
if
they
fall

However,
if
the
effluent
limitation
is
less
than
the
limit
of
detection,
the
department
may
substitute
a
value
other
than
zero
for
results
less
than
the
limit
of
detection,
after
considering
the
number
of

any
pollutants
not
previously
regulated
in
the
permit.

9.2.7
Duty
to
Halt
or
Reduce
Activity
Upon
failure
or
impairment
of
treatment
facility
operation,
the
permittee
shall,
to
the
extent
necessary
to
maintain
compliance
with
its
permit,
curtail
production
or
wastewater
discharges
or
both
until
the
treatment
facility
operations
are
restored
or
an
alternative
method
of
treatment
is
provided.

9.3.1
Determining
Compliance
with
a
Water
Quality
Based
Effluent
Limitation
 
When
the
water
quality
based
effluent
limitation
is
less
than
the
limit
of
detection,
levels
less
than
the
limit
of
detection
are
in
compliance
with
the
effluent
limitation.

 
When
the
water
quality
based
effluent
limitation
is
less
than
the
limit
of
detection,
effluent
levels
greater
than
the
limit
of
detection,
but
less
than
the
limit
of
quantitation
are
in
compliance
with
the
effluent
limitation
except
when
analytically
confirmed
and
statistically
confirmed
by
a
sufficient
number
of
analyses
of
multiple
samples
and
use
of
appropriate
statistical
techniques.

 
When
the
water
quality
based
effluent
limitation
is
greater
than
the
limit
of
detection,
but
less
than
the
limit
of
quantitation,
levels
less
than
the
limit
of
detection
or
less
than
the
limit
of
quantitation
are
in
compliance
with
the
effluent
limitation.

 
When
the
water
quality
based
effluent
limitation
is
expressed
in
the
permit
as
a
daily
maximum
or
average
mass
limitation,
compliance
is
determined
as
stated
above
in
this
section
after
converting
the
limit
of
detection
(
LOD)
and
limit
of
quantitation
(
LOQ)
to
mass
values
using
the
actual
daily
effluent
flow
(
or
actual
average
effluent
flow
for
the
averaging
period).
To
convert
LOD
and
LOQ
from
concentration
to
mass
values
use
the
following
formula:

 
LODmass
or
LOQmass
(
in
lbs/
day)
=
LOD
or
LOQ
(
in
mg/
L)
x
Flow
(
in
MGD)
x

9.3.2
Appropriate
Formulas
for
Effluent
Calculations
The
permittee
shall
use
the
following
formulas
for
calculating
effluent
results
to
determine
compliance
with
average
limits
and
mass
limits:

Weekly/
Monthly
average
concentration
=
the
sum
of
all
daily
results
for
that
week/
month,
divided
by
the
number
of
results
during
that
time
period.

Weekly
Average
Mass
Discharge
(
lbs/
day)

Daily
mass
=
daily
concentration
(
mg/
L)
x
daily
flow
(
MGD)
x
8.34
Average
the
daily
mass
values
for
the
week.

Monthly
Average
Mass
Discharge
(
lbs/
day)

Daily
mass
=
daily
concentration
(
mg/
L)
x
daily
flow
(
MGD)
x
8.34
Average
the
daily
mass
values
for
the
month.

9.3.3
Visible
Foam
or

Solids
There
shall
be
no
discharge
of
floating
solids
or
visible
foam
in
other
than
trace
amounts.
