Runway De-Icing Liquid Storage Tank

This project is for the installation of a 30,000 L aboveground storage tank for runway de-icing fluid. The Regina Airport Authority (RAA) uses granular and liquid de-icing material to manage ice on airside surfaces. This de-icing material is composed of potassium acetate, an alternative to chloride-based de-icing materials. Potassium acetate is not considered a Toxic Substance as per the Canadian Environmental Protection Act (CEPA), and is not a hazardous substance as per Saskatchewan's Hazardous Substances and Waste Dangerous Goods Regulations.

In 2019, the RAA upgraded runway de-icing equipment to improve application. The upgraded equipment can apply a pre-mixed liquid, in addition to granular material. This project will provide on-site bulk fluid storage with the installation of an aboveground fibre-reinforced plastic tank, located on a concrete pad with spill containment at the RAA's Maintenance Garage.

Latest update

The Regina Airport Authority (RAA) has determined that the proposed Runway De-Icing Liquid Storage Tank Project is not likely to cause significant adverse environmental effects.

This determination was based on a consideration of the following factors:

  • impacts on rights of Indigenous peoples;
  • Indigenous knowledge;
  • community knowledge;
  • comments received from the public; and
