ESCANABA The Delta County Airport is working with local, state, and federal agencies to identify and mitigate the negative environmental impact of firefighting suppression foam containing PFAS on the airport property.
The FAA requires all commercial service airports to test their firefighting equipment annually. Testing includes activating a foam fire suppressant that contains chemical, polyfluorinated alkyl substances (PFAS).
As the adverse effects of PFAS became known, the Delta County Airport took steps to protect the ecosystem of the airport property while still meeting FAA Part 139 regulations. Airport management procured a collection cart that allowed the airport to test its foam fire suppressant system without releasing it into the environment.
