Interestingly airports are listed, but military airfields are not.
I know they are much harder to track, but I wonder how MCAS Miramar + NAS North Island + the LCAC's at Camp Pendleton contribute in comparison to SAN. Looking at about 150gph for H-60's, 1500gph for F-35's, and 1000gph for LCACs. I know the H-60 squadrons alone will push something north of 15k flight hours locally per year (maybe a lot more; I don't keep up on the numbers), and the LCACs push a couple thousand (again, not 100% sure). I have no idea on the F-35's.
I can say that one running joke in the Navy that is actually true is that the fighters dump more fuel making trap weight than the helo's burn. That can't be good for the ocean either.
