evaluation Framework Step c 65 airports likely have a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan or a Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure Plan that details fueling facilities and systems inventories. Depending on the size or classification of the facility, airports may have a variety of other fuel storage facilities that are related to aviation support facility functions.

66 Assessing opportunities for Alternative Fuel Distribution Programs various fuel types under consideration. Depending on the amount of aviation fuel dispensed by either refueler trucks or a hydrant system, and the proximity of the airport to the location of the bulk fuel storage terminal, a general rule-of-thumb is to target a fuel storage capability of 7 to 14 days of supply at the airport to allow for any equipment or delivery problems or tank outages.

evaluation Framework Step c 67 6.2.3 Step 3: Identify Alternative Fuel Storage and Distribution Goals The third step in the siting process is to incorporate the findings of Steps 1 and 2 into the formulation of specific goals for alternative fuel storage and distribution. This process should begin with a determination of whether enough aviation and non-aviation fuel is dispensed at the airport to warrant consideration of additional alternative fuel storage and distribution facilities.

70 Assessing opportunities for Alternative Fuel Distribution Programs In consideration of the specified separation distances between aviation fuel storage facilities and adjacent airfield development, the various NFPA documents offer some guidance contingent upon tank sizes and fuel types. For example, NFPA 407 provides specifications for the design, operation, maintenance, and location of fuel storage facilities, including aircraft fueling devices.

evaluation Framework Step c 71 6.2.6 Step 6: Select One of the Recommended Fuel Storage Facility Site Plans The sixth step in the process is to identify and select one or more recommended alternative fuel storage site plans. This step includes the initiation of preliminary design and engineering drawings with cost estimates for proposed development.

72 Assessing opportunities for Alternative Fuel Distribution Programs 6.3.1 Environmental Review At the federal level, alternative fuel programs need to comply with the NEPA and applicable laws protecting sensitive environmental resources. NEPA outlines a process by which agencies are required to determine if their proposed actions have significant environmental effects.
