Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan
This Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) was prepared for the Gerald R. Ford International
Airport (GFIA) in Grand Rapids, Michigan, and has been developed to satisfy the requirements of Part
I.A.16 of Michigan’s National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit No. MI0055735
(issued December 27, 2010, effective January 1, 2011, modified August 1, 2013) for stormwater discharges
associated with industrial activity.
A copy of the permit is included as Appendix A to this plan.
The purpose of the Michigan stormwater permit program is to improve the quality of state surface waters
through the reduction of pollutants discharged in stormwater runoff. In keeping with that purpose, this
SWPPP has been developed to:
• Identify existing and potential sources of significant materials3 in GFIA stormwater discharges.
• Describe best management practices (BMPs) to prevent significant materials from being entrained in
GFIA stormwater discharges, including the use of both non-structural (preventative inspections, spill
response procedures, and employee training programs) and structural controls.
The permit became effective January 1, 2011. In accordance with that permit, this SWPPP has been
updated as required and these updates are reflected as shown on the revisions sheet at the front of this
plan.
All figures and tables referenced in this SWPPP are included as tabbed sections at the end of this plan.

3 A significant material is defined by the State of Michigan as any material which could degrade or impair water
quality, including, but not limited to: raw materials; fuels; solvents, detergents, and plastic pellets; finished
materials, such as metallic products; hazardous substances designated under Section 101 (14) of the Comprehensive
Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) (See 40 CFR 372.65); any chemical the
facility is required to report pursuant to Section 313 of the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act
(EPCRA); polluting materials as identified under the Part 5 Rules (Rules 324.2001 through 324.2009 of the
Michigan Administrative Code); Hazardous Wastes as defined in Part 111 of the Michigan Act; fertilizers;
pesticides; and waste products such as ashes, slag, and sludge that have the potential to be released with stormwater
discharges.
