Sec. 3-27. - Foreign object debris (FOD). (a) Each airport employee shall be responsible for the proper disposal of FOD on ramps, apron areas, and the AOA. (b) It is the responsibility of each lessee or other occupant of ramp and apron areas to place suitable containers, as determined by the director, labeled "foreign object debris," at every gate, remote aircraft parking area, cargo, and maintenance facilities at locations determined by the director. (c) All persons operating or conducting business on the AOA shall ensure that any owned/operated equipment that could be repositioned or moved by winds over thirty (30) miles per hour or other weather related forces shall be properly secured at all times to ensure that the equipment will not move from its parked position. The cost of any damage to airport or tenant property that is caused by unsecured equipment shall be the responsibility of the owner/operator of the unsecured equipment. (d) Any airport business operating on the AOA shall be required to keep its leasehold clean and free of FOD at all times. The director shall monitor all leaseholds within the AOA to ensure that they are properly clean and free of FOD. Any airport business whose leasehold the director deems to not be satisfactorily clean and free of FOD shall be notified in writing of the non-compliance and given ten (10) calendar days from the date the letter is sent to sufficiently clean their leasehold. If the airport business fails to clean their leasehold sufficiently, the director may have the leasehold cleaned and require the airport business to pay for the expenses related to the cleaning.
