Funding Source:
Category:
Sub Category:
Estimated Cost: $6,139,471
Description: Modify the structure and/or operational processes to minimize, to the extent practicable, foaming at Outfall D.
Priority: Mid
Need Origination: Other
Justification: Foaming at Outfall D includes pollutants resulting from airport operations contained in winter snowmelt and spring and early summer precipitation events. Executing this project will prevent or minimize the foaming and bring ANC into compliance with the State of Alaska Water Quality Standards (18 AAC 70). Not executing this project will keep ANC in violation of these standards, and ANC will be required to pay fines ($ 1.4 million initially) until ANC becomes compliant. Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation’s (ADEC), in response to a citizen’s complaint, is requiring ANC to prevent the foam discharges, as ADEC maintains excessive visible foam at the outfall discharge is a water quality violation under State of Alaska Water Quality Standards (18 AAC 70).
