Panama City - Bay County Airport Reaches Agreement with Florida DEP

The Panama City – Bay County International Airport and Industrial District (Airport Authority) has reached agreement with the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) on a series of steps to address temporary stormwater management issues that occurred during construction at the new Panama City – Bay County International Airport construction site in northwestern Bay County.

The Airport Authority reacted quickly in May 2009 to address the stormwater management issues. Since then, the Airport Authority and FDEP have been working together on a final agreement based on the plan submitted by the Airport Authority to address environmental concerns. Under terms of the agreement, the Airport Authority has agreed to pay a $251,000 fine to FDEP.

The Airport Authority is working with FDEP to reinvest the fine in further environmental improvements at the new airport.

The airport is scheduled to open in May 2010.
