Chemical Runoff A Problem At Yeager Airport
WEST VIRGINIA...
Rick Atkinson, the director of Charleston's Yeager Airport, says he expects the state Department of Environmental Protection to cite the airport after recently finding that glycol was being allowed to run off the airport site. Assistant airport director Terry Sayre says an extraordinary amount of deicing contributed to the problem, while airlines were deicing their planes on parts of the tarmac that weren't properly equipped to catch the chemicals.
