17 AAC 45.050. Hazardous substance release

(a) A person who releases a hazardous substance on an airport shall immediately contain and clean up the release, using methods that ensure that contamination does not enter or spread on or in airport land or water or in an airport storm water drainage system. A person responsible under this chapter for a release shall immediately report the release to the airport manager and to each regulatory agency that requires such a report. Submission of a report to the manager under this subsection does not satisfy any other applicable requirement for reporting a release of a hazardous substance to any regulatory agency that has jurisdiction.

(b) If a person responsible under this chapter for a release does not take immediate action to report, contain, and clean up the release, the department may report, contain, or clean up the release as the department determines appropriate under the circumstances. The department may seek reimbursement for the department's costs of assessment, reporting, containment, and cleanup, as applicable, from any person responsible for the release.
