Air quality impacts are rapidly replacing noise as the most significant environmental issue in airport operations. More stringent air quality regulations coupled with the requirements of the Clean Air Act make airport expansion and modernization a costly challenge. Recent emphasis on emissions of toxic or hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) from airports further compounds the issues that airport managers face.
In addition to complex stakeholder management, airports must address a diverse array of air emissions source types, from fueling and maintenance facilities to ground access vehicles and aircraft, which are typically regulated in many different ways. In addition to assisting with air quality regulatory compliance, CDM also helps airports meet their public mission of being good corporate citizens and neighbors in their communities. CDM has hands-on experience helping airports comply with regulations, be proactive with neighbors and the public, and expand their facilities with confidence.
