All DFW Airport Board Tenants
Dear Sir or Madam:
As part of our DFW environmental awareness, a "Best Management Practice" has been
developed for the washing of motor vehicles.
Please review the attached memo from our Environmental Affairs Department, along with a
copy of the Wash Water Management Plan they have produced. This sets out the procedures
to be followed by all tenants for this activity.
If you have any questions, please contact Ms. Asciatu Whiteside directly. Her email and
telephone number are given on the attached memo.
Sincerely,

I have included a copy of the Wash Water Management Plan memo that I would like
to be distributed to all Airport tenants. The purpose of the letter is to ensure that
tenants are utilizing effective best management practices (BMPs) when conducting
washing activities and that EAD is familiar of the activities conducted at each
leasehold. If you have any questions concerning this memo or need further

ENVIRONMENTAL AFFAIRS DEPARTMENT

FROM: ASCIATU WHITESIDE, E VIRONMENTAL OPERATIONS ANALYST

SUBJECT: WASH WATER MANAGEMENT PLAN
The Environmental Affairs Department (EAD), is constantly exploring new ideas and
methods that can be utilized by the Board as a means of ensuring that airport tenants
integrate pollution prevention initiatives and best management practices into daily
operations. EAD is now requiring all airport tenants that conduct exterior aircraft,
vehicle, and/or equipment washing activities to develop and submit a Wash Water
Management Plan (WWMP). The purpose of the WWMP is to ensure that Airport
Board personnel are familiar with the washing activities of each tenant and that
tenants are developing and implementing best management practices specific to
their individual operations.
The WWMP shall include the following information:
'1. A Site Map, identifying the exact location on each tenant's leasehold depicting where
washing activities will be conducted (a boundary line should be used to identify areas
with washing activities). The site map shall also depict the exact location of all nearby
storm water inlets, chemical staging areas (if applicable), and equipment staging
areas.
2. The WWMP shall describe the types of equipment/vehicles that will be washed, the
approximate quantity of aircraft, vehicles, and equipment that will be washed, and the
approximate frequency. The frequency should describe the anticipated number of
washing activities that will occur each day/week/month.
3. The WWMP shall describe in detail the type of chemicals (with MSDS) that will be
used during washing activities.

4. The WWMP shall describe in detail how wash waters will be contained and collected.
This section of the plan shall describe the type of best management practice that will
be utilized to protect nearby drainage areas. If an outside contractor will be
conducting all washing activity, include the name of the company that will be used.
5. Lastly, the WWMP shall describe how and where wash water will be disposed.
If a tenant already has a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan or similar plan that
includes all the information described above, that section of the plan can be
submitted for the WWMP. EAD request that a representative or contact from your
facility be listed on the plan. The representative should be familiar with industrial
operations and washing activities, and this contact should be stationed at DFW
Airport (if possible). Tenants that operate wash facilities or automatic car washes that
discharges to the sanitary sewer do not have to submit a WWMP at this time. The
WWMP is only intended to be developed by those tenants that conduct exterior
washing activities. Tenants currently conducting washing activities must submit a
WWMP within the next 60 days from receipt of this correspondence. Tenants not yet
conducting washing activities and planning to conduct this type of activity must
submit a plan to EAD before washing activities commence. The plan shall be updated
whenever there is a significant change in how washing activities will be conducted.
An example of a significant change include, changes in collection mechanisms,
changes in washing locations, or changes in site contacts. If a tenant plans to
discontinue washing activities, then the tenant shall submit a letter to EAD indicating
that washing activities are no longer conducted at the facility. A copy of the WWMP
shall remain onsite at the tenant's facility and all employees involved in this type of
activity should be trained on the contents and requirements. A copy of the WWMP
will also be retained at the EAD, and incorporated into the tenants Storm Water
Industrial file.
Please submit WWMP to EAD at the following address:
