Sustainable Waste Management

Kristi McKenney, Manager, Aviation Planning and Development, Port of Oakland

ACI Colloquium, CairoNovember 2008

OAK Overview

• Airline passenger facilities– Two terminals: 29 aircraft gates– 9,000 on-Airport parking spaces (Hourly, Daily, Economy, and Valet parking)

• Air cargo sort facilities– FedEx– DHL– United Parcel Service

• General aviation facilities– 2 Executive terminals

• KaiserAir• Business Jet Center

– Flight schools– Aviation High School– Hangars

Sustainable Waste Management

• Waste sources associated with airports

• Why manage waste

• Key Stakeholders

• Program Development and Management

Airport Sources

• Construction waste often greatest total volume

• Airline deplaned waste often greatest operating volume

• Concession waste, food waste

• Waste water

• Office waste

• Facility maintenance and cleaning waste

Why Waste Management

• Waste consumes resources

• Waste is expensive

• Waste can be a resource

• Waste brings significant health and environment issues

Key Stakeholders

• Government Regulations

• Airport Organization

• Service Providers/Tenants

• Airlines

• Waste Companies

• Community

• Construction Industry

Program Development and Management

• Staffing Resources (1/2 staff position)

• Collaboration – Service Providers, Tenants, Airlines (Increasing Interest: KLM, Delta)

• Understand behavior drivers

• Understand economics/regulations (California State – 50% reduction from 1989 )

Program Development and Management

• Target Setting

• Measurement

• Monitor behavior patterns

• Program revision based on feedback

Program Development at OAK

• Begin with office sources– Recycling paper, bottles, cans

– Setting printers to double sided

– Using electronic storage, data management

• Advance to terminal sources– Provide receptacles for customers

– Work with cleaning and maintenance staff

– Work with concessions for supply waste and reducing waste, composting of food waste

Program Development at OAK

• Reuse Facilities to the extent feasible

• Implement Materials Management Program

• Beginning to work more extensively with airlines

Combining New and Reused

Materials Management Issues(Not Just About the Environment)

• Repeated Unauthorized Disposal of Construction Waste on Airfield and Airport Properties

• Potential Wetlands Compliance Issues

• Escalating Project Budgets for the Disposal of Concrete, Asphalt and Soil

• Project Overruns Due to Large Soil Disposal Contingencies

• Shrinking Supply and Increasing Costs to Import Aggregates for New Construction

• No Centralized Materials Management Protocol

Materials Program Development

• Formed an Interdisciplinary Working Group:– Airport Management

– Engineering Design

– Environmental Planning

– Finance

• Defined Airport Material Needs

• Developed a Centrally Managed and Coordinated MMP

Business Planning

• Prepared Materials Management Business Plan

– Calculated Material Disposal and Import Costs/Benefits with MMP vs. without MMP

– Defined Resource Requirements

– Developed Operating Budget

– Determined Optimal Management Model• Contractor vs. Port, charging fees approach,

centralized management

MMP Project Planning & Entitlements (WO 106878)

Results 2004 – 2007

• 11 Projects have Disposed of 420,000 Tons of Concrete, Asphalt and Soil

• $4.9M in Disposal Savings at OAK

Apron Rehabilitation Project Stockpiled Asphalt, Concrete and Soil Blended to Create P-209

Results Reuse Activity 2004-2007

• Over 130,000 Tons of Concrete, Asphalt and Soil Crushed, Blended to FAA Specified P-209 and P-154 Aggregates, and Reused on the Airfield

• Over $1M in Material Import Savings at OAK

Conveyors Moving P-209 as its Crushed

Newly Crushed P-209 Conveyed and Stockpiled for Reuse

MMP Operations 2008-2010

• Continued Support for Airport and Tenant Construction Projects

• Expanded Services to off airport users• Production of Other Types of Material??

– Pre-cast Piles– Concrete for Curb

and Sidewalk

FAA Spec P-209 Ready for Reuse
