| Water Quality | | ATA airlines are committed to protecting the environment in every aspect of their operations, including water quality concerns associated with deicing and stormwater runoff. That includes working with airports staff, who also have a responsibility for clearing and deicing runway/taxiway surfaces and addressing associated environmental concerns, to ensure that stormwater does not adversely impact nearby rivers, streams and lakes. Related information is included in this section. |

Aircraft Deicing
Airlines apply deicing and anti-icing fluids to aircraft to ensure safe operation during winter storm events in accord with requirements of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). | |
Regulation of Airport Stormwater Runoff
Airport stormwater runoff currently is regulated under the Environmental Protection Agency’s stormwater National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) program. | |
