Narrative:
Found large puddles of glycol with runoff on [two] gates. Estimated 20+ on ground for each gate. This; in addition to the environmental hazard; creates slippery conditions on the gate for ground crews. If the frost was heavy enough to require this amount of fluid to remove; it should have been done at the de-ice pads. If this was a training issue; then it should be followed up on.
