Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan
This document represents the operational Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) for the Columbia Metropolitan Airport (CAE). Best Management Practices (BMP) can be accessed in Appendix A. The figures associated with the SWPPP can be used as a visual reference and are located in Appendix B and listed to the right. The Spill and Release Reporting Form (Form A-4) is found in Appendix D. All other supplemental information associated with the SWPPP can be found in the Appendices C and E (these appendices are available upon request to the SWPPP Coordinator). The SWPPP has been complied in order to bring CAE into compliance with the requirement of the National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Program under the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC) and is intended for use by CAE to provide consistent and effective management of storm water runoff. CAE has developed this SWPPP in order to facilitate compliance for its affected tenants under the storm water requirements. The SWPPP presents a description of the CAE facility, a discussion of potential pollution sources resulting from practices and activities at the airport, and identifies storm water management controls and best management practices to reduce or eliminate pollutants entering the storm water system.

Aircraft Diversion Plan (Pandemic) & Tarmac Delay Contingency Plan
In response to the outbreak of the H1N1 Virus in 2009 the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) urged all airport operators to update their existing Pandemic Flu Plans and to encourage those airport operators that did not already have Pandemic Flu Plans to develop such plans for their airport. Since we did not formally have a plan in place members of the airport authority (Police, Fire/Medical, Operations, and Public Relations) met with representatives of the CDC, TSA, South Carolina Aeronautics Commission, Lexington Medical Center, DHEC, Lexington and Richland County EMS, airport tenant business managers, CBP, and the FAA to develop a plan that would address “best practices” and guidelines for the airport to follow in order to protect the health and welfare of travelers, staff, the public, and to reduce the opportunities for the dissemination of communicable diseases by air. Also, during the course of these meetings the working group took the opportunity to formally develop a plan that would address how the airport would provide assistance to aircraft that divert for reasons other than pandemic in nature. Therefore, as a matter of convenience, the airport elected to incorporate both situations into one resource document, hence our Aircraft Diversion & Pandemic Operations Plan. In May of 2012, pursuant to the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012, (H.R. 658); CAE submitted a Emergency Contingency Plan. The plan was recently approved by the U.S. Department of Transportation in July of 2012, and is now available for review.
