30 Typical Airport Land Uses Airside Land Uses Airside land uses where GSI may be applied include taxiways and runways, as well as areas where significant aircraft activities occur and possibly areas where there is ongoing construction. Airside land uses may include the following: • Apron/ramp and flight operations • Maintenance areas (hangars, garages, outdoor parking)

32 Green Stormwater Infrastructure Vegetation promotes stormwater infiltration and treatment but may also attract hazardous wildlife and/or create wildlife habitat. This potentially conflicts with FAA advisories to manage hazardous wildlife and wildlife habitats at airport facilities (DeVault and Washburn 2013)

From page 33... ...
Applicability to Airports 33 • Habitat modification -- makes the habitat undesirable for wildlife use • Inspections -- ensure GSI is functioning properly and not forming a wildlife attractant • Aquatic weed control and management -- prevents food and habitat creation for hazardous wildlife (see ACRP Synthesis 52, Chapters 2 and 8) • Integrated pest management -- prevents creation of food source for hazardous wildlife • Turf and vegetation management -- prevents GSI vegetation from attracting hazardous wildlife (see ACRP Synthesis 52, Chapters 2 and 8)
