Which plan focuses on eliminating, preventing or reducing pollutants in storm water runoff associated with airport activities?

• A. CERCLA
• B. BMPs
• C. SARA
• D. SWPPP

Answer: (D)

The plan is the Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP). It focuses on eliminating, preventing, or reducing pollutants in storm water runoff by identifying potential pollutant sources at the airport and laying out specific controls to keep runoff clean. A SWPPP describes the site, the activities that could contaminate stormwater (like fueling, maintenance, storage of hazardous materials, deicing, and waste handling), and the measures used to control pollutants, such as erosion and sediment controls, good housekeeping, spill prevention, containment, proper scheduling of activities, and routine inspections and training. It also integrates best management practices (BMPs) and outlines responsibilities, monitoring, and corrective actions to comply with NPDES stormwater permit requirements under the Clean Water Act. CERCLA and SARA concern cleanup and response to hazardous substance releases, while BMPs are practices that can be part of a SWPPP but are not a standalone plan themselves.
