Airport Cooperative Research Program (ACRP) Report 53 is a handbook that identifies appropriate responses to a variety of water resource issues affecting airport planning and development. The handbook includes options for setting up a water resource management program and outlines the steps necessary to implement that program in response to local conditions. The handbook also presents strategies for including water resource planning and management as part of a broader life-cycle planning and development process. Specific worksheets are included on the regulatory framework guiding water resource management along with a set of fact sheets for defining and categorizing a broad set of water resource issues and appropriate responses. Finally, the handbook provides an overview of National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) procedures that control environmental reviews affecting airport development. The contractor's final report summarizes the research approach used to generate the handbooks. The handbook will be of particular interest to those involved in the earliest stages of planning for airport development projects, including airport planners, design engineers, and environmental compliance personnel. It can also be used as a guide for managing response to water resource issues throughout the project development and implementation process- from initial planning to operation of the constructed system. The handbook provides summaries of key information for those particularly interested in an overview of the subject matter as well as a significant level of detail for those that is actually involved in managing water resource issues on a daily basis. It also includes many tips and insights gleaned from experience on actual projects. |
