Guiding Questions 101 Category 1: Coordination with Overall Facility and Regional Planning and Stormwater Management Placing the proposed GSI in the context of overall facility planning during discussions with both internal and external stakeholders can have several benefits: • It may help spur additional ideas about areas where GSI might be placed. • It may be more cost and labor efficient to incorporate GSI into a larger infrastructure project than to implement it as a separate project.

102 Green Stormwater infrastructure Guide Questions for Overall Facility and Regional Planning and Stormwater Management Questions Airport Answers How would implementation of GSI fit in with the overall planning goals of your facility, municipality, and region/state? Would the GSI strategies under consideration be consistent with your facility's master plan, sustainability plans, and/or stormwater management plans?

104 Green Stormwater infrastructure Category 3: Capital and O&M Costs and Implementation The costs of implementing and maintaining GSI practices is a crucial component of evaluating the feasibility of adopting GSI and will vary widely by facility and by the nature of the GSI project. Capital costs may be handled as part of the budget of a larger infrastructure project or may be formulated separately for a stand-alone project.

Guiding Questions 105 Category 4: Management of Wildlife Hazards As a significant safety and regulatory consideration for stormwater management, handling of wildlife hazards will likely be an integral part of the discussions regarding design and overall feasibility. Airports, in concert with their own or external wildlife biologists, have adopted various strategies to manage wildlife hazards both with GSI and conventional stormwater BMPs.

106 Green Stormwater infrastructure Next Steps After an initial round of information gathering, information sharing, and discussions with internal and possibly external stakeholders, airport staff may want to take stock, evaluate their current state of knowledge, and identify data gaps that need to be filled and concerns that need to be addressed before moving forward with plans. If there are no significant areas where more information is needed, the airport staff may be at a stage where they can begin their facility's normal process of initiating an infrastructure project.
