APPENDIX A
NON-COMMERCIAL AVIATION FUELING AGREEMENT

Whereas the City of Stevens Point owns and operates the Stevens Point Municipal Airport, hereafter "owner," and the person named below, hereafter "aircraft operator," desires to self-fuel an aircraft owned or operated by aircraft operator on the airport, this agreement is made.

I. Purpose and Scope.

1. The owner deems it necessary to regulate non-commercial aviation fueling operations at the airport in order to ensure the safety of all airport users and to protect the environment. For that reason the owner has established the procedures which follow.

2. This agreement shall remain in effect for the remainder of the calendar year during which it is entered into, expiring December 31 of that year, except that agreements entered into after September 30 of any year will expire December 31 of the following year.

3. No non-commercial aviation fueling is permitted unless a current agreement is in effect between the owner and the aircraft operator.

II. Non-Commercial Fueling Procedures.

1. The aircraft operator may only fuel his own aircraft in an area that does not compromise the safety of any other airport user. Aircraft operator fueling inside hangars is expressly prohibited.

2. The aircraft operator may not transport fuel onto the airport in containers having a capacity of more than 5 gallons each unless such containers have been approved by the city fire chief and meet all current regulations pertaining to portable fueling equipment.

3. If the fuel being transported onto the airport is gasoline, the container(s) must be red in color. If the fuel is other than gasoline, the container(s) may not be red in color. In either event, the container must be constructed of metal.

4. Any fuel transported onto the airport must be immediately dispensed into the fuel tanks of the aircraft operator's aircraft.

5. If an aircraft operator is making repeated short flights during the day, the aircraft operator may leave the fuel containers in a safe place near aircraft operator's vehicle if someone is immediately available to safeguard them. Such fuel container(s) may not remain on the airport overnight. At no time shall storage of fuel in a hangar be permitted.

6. Any fuel remaining in the container(s) after fueling the aircraft must be immediately removed from the Airport. The aircraft operator may not store fuel on the airport. This provision does not apply to fuel contained within the fuel system of an aircraft, automobiles, or small implements such as lawn mowers.

7. Prior to commencing fueling operations the aircraft operator shall:

a. Ensure that appropriate safety equipment is present and operable.
b. Ground the aircraft and the fuel container(s).
c. Have immediately available a suitably-sized spill kit, or substitute acceptable to the Director of public works.


8. The aircraft operator will be financially responsible for any fuel spills resulting from Aircraft operator's fueling operations. This includes, but is not limited to, the cost of spill-kit materials consumed and the disposal of contaminated spill-kit material. The aircraft operator will promptly report any spill, whether caused or observed by him, to the airport manager.

III. Owner's responsibilities.

1. The owner shall provide, in a central location, a suitably sized fire extinguisher.

2. The owner shall provide, in a central location, a "spill-kit" and will replenish its components as they are used.
