ACE Airfield Operations Module 3 Practice Test

Best Management Practices for storm water runoff describe a set of actions and controls designed to prevent or reduce pollution from runoff. They include schedules of activities, prohibitions of certain practices, maintenance procedures, and structural measures—such as facilities that capture, treat, or slow runoff—and other practices aimed at keeping storm water clean. In airport settings, BMPs cover fuel handling, deicing fluids, vehicle maintenance, and waste management, focusing on preventing contamination before it enters storm drains. This makes the described statement the best fit because it captures both non-structural (schedules, prohibitions, maintenance) and structural elements that together make BMPs effective. The other choices shift away from BMPs: emergency response plans for fuel spills are part of environmental readiness but not BMPs themselves; wildlife management focuses on habitat and species issues; fuel pricing is unrelated to runoff control.
