9 C H a P T E R 2 This chapter presents a summary of literature addressing prolific biofilm development in flow ing water bodies that receive surface water runoff from airports conducting deicing operations. Research on the mechanics of key processes related to this topic is limited, as is the existing information that can be used for identifying and evaluating potential controlling factors.

10 understanding microbial Biofilms in Receiving Waters Impacted by airport Deicing activities Limited information was found regarding the occurrence of prolific biofilms in flowing water bodies that receive surface water runoff containing aircraft and airfield deicers. For the purpose of this project, "prolific" reflects a level of biofilm growth and accumulation that is substantially greater in abundance than would be expected in the absence of such anthropogenic organic inputs.
