<strong>Belfast</strong> <strong>City</strong> <strong>Airport</strong> is committed to periodically assessing air quality in the vicinity of the airport.<br />
11.3 Water Quality<br />
No water courses cross the BCA site. However, water run off from the airport hard surfaces enters a freshwater stream at the<br />
north end of the site and a tidal lagoon at the south end of the site. Hard surfaces on the airport site include runway, taxiways<br />
and aircraft aprons; car parks and internal roadways.<br />
Where surface runoff water exits the site to the freshwater stream, a containment and monitoring regime have been in place<br />
for some years. A similar regime will shortly be installed where water runoff exits the site to the tidal lagoon.<br />
11.4 Appraisal of further Measures<br />
<strong>Belfast</strong> <strong>City</strong> <strong>Airport</strong> <strong>Master</strong> <strong>Plan</strong> to 2030<br />
BCA is committed to the UK Sustainable Aviation Strategy7 and will seek to maintain appropriate good practice in the mitigation<br />
of those aspects of air transport that adversely impact on local communities and the environment. BCA will continuously<br />
monitor and benchmark our environmental management systems against industry good practice.<br />
Consideration of further mitigation measures will be undertaken at the conclusion of the review of the airport’s <strong>Plan</strong>ning<br />
Agreement which is currently underway.<br />
