One of the chief advantages to the heliport owner is that utilizing an infiltration-based storm water management plan will render as unnecessary and superflous all the conventional control-and-contain, treat-and-infiltrate SWR-mgt structures - which often cost more than the airport pavement or helipad construction themselves.</B></I></div> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <A HREF="grass_helipad_landing_strip_municipal.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Engineered grass helipad landing, detail"><IMG SRC="6b958200.jpg" border=0 width="600" height="800" ALT="Green airport-heliport environmental image gallery, image 4 of four - demonstrating grassed helicopter land pad {helipad}, at a privately owned, small regional airport-heliport.
