Air Transportation Facilities Sector (Sector S). Sector S facilities include only those portions of the site that are engaged in servicing, repairing, or maintaining aircraft and ground vehicles, equipment cleaning and maintenance, or deicing/anti-icing operations.

MPCA permit requirements for Sector S can apply to both the Airport Authority and to individual tenants, including airline carriers, fixed-base operators (e.g. fueling companies and maintenance shops), and others that have leases/agreements with the airport authority to conduct business on airport property. The affected tenants may not necessarily conduct activities that, on their own, would require an industrial stormwater permit.
