14 Ranking Aspects and Impacts Identify operations and related activities List the aspects (of each activity with impacts) Define the impacts (changes to the environment) Rank the impacts Do a reality-check of the ranking (Do they make sense? Can we control them?) Develop an action plan to address each of the topranked impacts

15 Action Plans Established objectives and targets based on current operations Set achievable targets so progress could be demonstrated Will raise the bar later as part of continual improvement Assigned responsibilities and milestones for completion

16 SNA s Highest Ranked Impacts Operation of terminal buildings Heating and cooling terminal buildings Fuel sumping by General Aviation (GA) Providing emergency power to terminals Runway cleaning General aviation aircraft washing Operation of SNAFUEL and other fueling tanks Operating terminal buildings
