SUMMARY:
This Ordinance will establish Foam Testing Equipment Project No. AP2001 and accept
grant funds from the State of Colorado Aeronautical Board and Division of Aeronautics
for the acquisition of firefighting foam testing equipment to be used at Fire Station 10 at
the Pueblo Memorial Airport.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
None.
BACKGROUND
The Colorado Aeronautical Board approved funding to assist Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) certified commercial service airports in Colorado with the acquisition
of equipment to minimize the environmental impact of firefighting foam containing toxic
chemicals known as polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). Airports certified under Federal
Aviation Regulation (FAR) Part 139 are required to use PFAS-based foam and to annually
test and certify aircraft rescue firefighting equipment by discharging foam from a
firefighting vehicle into a container. During this process, firefighting foam often comes in
direct contact with the ground. The Colorado Aeronautical Board is providing funding for
specialized testing and containment equipment designed to allow FAA-compliant
firefighting foam testing to take place without the need for regular foam discharges.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
The State has offered a grant in the amount of $25,000 which would pay for 100% of the
foam testing equipment. No local match is needed.
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
Not applicable.
STAKEHOLDER PROCESS:
Not applicable.
ALTERNATIVES:
If this Ordinance is not approved, the grant will not be accepted, and the foam testing
equipment will not be purchased.
RECOMMENDATION
The Department of Aviation recommends approval of this Ordinance.
