PRECISION APPROACH ENGINEERING O ROGUE VALLEY INTERNATIONAL - MEDFORD AIRPORT STORMWATER TREATMENT FACILITY A NEW stormwater treatment facility at Rogue Valley International - Medford Airport (MFR) increases stormwater management on impervious airport surface areas by collecting stormwater from 139 acres of existing impervious surfaces and 35 acres of planned improvements. Jackson County Airport Authority f Location: Rogue Valley International - Medford Airport f Project: Stormwater Treatment Facility f Completion: June 2022 f Key Participants: Precision Approach Engineering, Inc; StormMix Media f Category: Environmental f Cost: About $4M in Oregon was faced with meeting municipal requirements, which require collecting and filtering pollutants found in stormwater runoff from new pavement and hangar improvements. The planned developments over the next 5 years include these 35 acres of new impervious surfaces. Local standards only require stormwater treatment for newly constructed impervious surfaces. 22 \ AIRPORT BUSINESS / JANUARY/FEBRUARY 2023 " The airport felt that it was important to go above what was minimally required.

This will save us time and money in the future, " said Amber Judd, interim airport director. The stormwater treatment system for Basin 4, completed in 2022, minimizes the number of individual areas by creating one high-capacity and centralized facility.
