Happy Earth Day! Did you know Easton Airport’s Airfield Modernization Program is delivering big environmental benefits to our community?
Recycling materials and reducing waste for greener construction.
Installing stormwater controls and upgrading drainage to further prevent pollution and runoff into the watershed.
Creating new wetlands for local ecosystems, decreasing impervious surfaces by 13 acres, and cleaning up soil.
Switching to LED lighting for 30% reduction in energy use.
Minimizing emissions with efficient construction and project designs.
Bonus, did you know we are already taking these proactive steps to safeguard our environment:
Fuel Truck Containment Areas: Built to capture any potential fuel leaks with dedicated containment areas. Ramp Drainage System: Channels runoff into oil-water separators and then a series of natural swales, greatly minimizing pollution. Meadow Promotion: Proactively fostering airfield meadows to support pollinators and monarch butterfly populations.
If you’d like to learn more about our green initiatives, join us for one of our Walk & Talk events May 16 or 30 where we will discuss all this and more!
