... C-1 The Managing AFFF and PFASs at Airports (MAPA) screening tool has been designed to assist airports with the identification of areas of potential environmental concern (APECs)
From page 203...
... C-2 Use and potential impacts of AFFF Containing pFASs at Airports Worksheet 1: Introductory Worksheet The first worksheet of MAPA collects basic information about the airport and the users involved in completing the screening tool, which will be incorporated into a cover page of the document produced as a result of completing MAPA. Users should complete the fields to the best of their knowledge; however, it is strongly recommended to include the input of various people in the completion of the MAPA Screening Tool as different departments will have different AFFF and PFAS knowledge.

... Quick Guide to MApA Screening Tool C-5 Worksheet 4: Sensitive Receptors Worksheet 4: Sensitive Receptors builds on the identified potential receptors from Worksheet 2 and assists with clarifying associated potential risk. Users should ensure that they are only completing the tables that are applicable to their site, based on their entries on Worksheet 2, as the three types of sensitive receptors (potable water sources, surface water bodies, and wetlands)

... Quick Guide to MApA Screening Tool C-9 Worksheet 8: MOD 2 Ranking Summary Worksheet 8: Ranking Summary combines operational and legacy APECs for comparison and preliminary ranking in order of potential concern. This table will auto-populate with the information input previously and lists the life cycle stage, APEC, and score for comparison.
From page 211...
... C-10 Use and potential impacts of AFFF Containing pFASs at Airports Worksheet 9: Data Gaps Worksheet 9: Data Gaps identifies additional information that is needed for a further analysis of potential impacts associated with AFFF. Click the "Press to Start" button to populate the table with APECs previously identified.
From page 212...
... Quick Guide to MApA Screening Tool C-11 End Product of MAPA Screening Tool It is recommended that Worksheets 1, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 are printed at the completion of the screening tool as outputs for use in the management of AFFF at the airport.
