... 12 Benefit–Cost Analyses Guidebook for Airport Stormwater on the benefits, costs, performance, design, and other aspects of stormwater BMPs, including GSI, is not tailored to airports. Such information may be applicable nonetheless, especially for landside projects.
From page 13...
... Plan the Analysis and Identify Data Needs 13 costs of a project. This level of analysis can be informative to supplement decision making, but the airport must identify and clearly communicate its limitations (e.g., uncertainty of project costs, lack of monetized benefits, or uncertainty of qualitative outcomes)
