ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Master Plan
The Patrick Leahy Burlington International Airport is an important resource for Chittenden County and the State of Vermont as a whole. Because of that, it is important to map out plans for future development that might be needed to ensure community input is received and financial planning can be carried out. An Airport Master Plan is a study used to determine the long-term development plans for an airport, addresses the development needs for a 20-year time period. The Airport Master Plan process provides opportunities for political entities and the public to participate in the development of aviation plans. It provides a framework for individual airport development programs consistent with short, intermediate, and long-range airport system requirements and determines future financial requirements.

Improvement Program
Passenger Facility Charge Program
The Passenger Facility Charge (PFC) Program allows the collection of PFC fees for every boarded passenger at commercial airports controlled by public agencies. Airports use these fees to fund FAA-approved projects that enhance safety, security, or capacity; reduce noise, or increase air carrier competition.
Stormwater
The Patrick Leahy Burlington International Airport is a member of the Chittenden County Regional Stormwater Education Program (RSEP). The purpose of the RSEP is to educate the public on water quality issues and provide tips on how to keep pollutants out of stormwater. Please visit Smart Waterways to learn more about how you can help improve water quality in Vermont.
In addition, the airport has developed a Stormwater Management Program designed to reduce the discharge of pollutants, protect water quality, and to satisfy the appropriate water quality requirements of the clean water act.
