mmaher on PROD1PC76 with NOTICES
To minimize the possibility of
environmental contamination from
ballast water, there will be provisions in
the airship or servicing provisions that
ensure that biological or chemical
contamination does not occur due to the
servicing of ballast water of one location
and dumping of water in a different
location. This provision will be added
to the certification basis as a special
environmental requirement:
Under no circumstances may water ballast
be loaded or released that does not comply
with the provisions of 40 CFR part 141,
National Primary Drinking Water
Regulations. Obtaining water from a water
supply use for human consumption is
acceptable; water aerially released or
otherwise dumped cannot degrade beyond
the limits set by 40 CFR part 141. If ballast
water is contaminated, it can only be released
into appropriate sewage facilities in
accordance with national and local laws and
regulations. These provisions will be
explained in the Airship Flight Manual and
ground operations materials and manuals.
Procedures will also be developed that will
eliminate the possibility of biological
contamination growing in the ballast system
and then being jettisoned or dumped, unless
detected and treated.
The ballast system will have a method
of securing filler locations to eliminate
the possibility of tampering with the
system.
