RUSSELL Office Coffee Service "Java Powered Service" -----Original Message----- From: Skip Gundlach Sent: Wed, 11 June 2008 17:33:01 To: [email protected] Subject: [Liveaboard] Waste Management Plans Hi, Y'all, Over in the Morgan sailnet list there's been a discussion on waste handling as well as the requirement for waste management plans. My apologies if this duplicates something recent, but I don't recall it showing up here, so presume this may be of interest. Below is the essence of what I've posted (absent the ensuing discussion) regarding waste management plans (vs a simple placard), and another's actual plan: For reference as to whether a placard showing what can be discharged and what may not suffices for a waste management plan, see the below link. Placards on the rules (vs a management plan) are readily available from marine retailers. Here's a link to chapter and verse on the subject, and below, a real-live (mostly coastwise or inshore) example (not being aboard at the moment prevented me from providing ours, which is primarily offshore): http://www.safeguardmarine.com/images/waste_management_plan.pdf WASTE MANAGEMENT PLAN For "Kindred Spirit" Person in Charge: ______________________ 1: This plan describes policy and procedures for handling this vessel's garbage according to MARPOL Annex V and 33 CFR Subparts 151.51 through 151.77. As Captain, I am responsible for carrying out this plan. All crewmembers and embarked persons shall follow the instructions in this plan. It is the general policy of this vessel that all food waste and garbage will be retained on board for proper disposal ashore. 2: Solid Waste Management Procedures: A: If the vessel is outside of 12 miles of shore or returning to shore: All the garbage with the exception of food materials and paper is put in a garbage bag to be hauled to the dockside trash receptacle at trips end. Food material and paper generated in the galley are collected in a container and the container emptied over the side by a crewmember. In no case will waste of any kind be discharged into the water without my prior inspection and explicit permission. B: If the vessel is within 12 miles of shore or returning to shore: All refuse materials are put in garbage bags and stored on board until the end of the trip when the deckhands brings the bags to the dockside trash receptacles for disposal. Waste for this vessel is collected in a trash container and stored below the salon stairs. 3: Crew Education: At the beginning of each season all crewmembers are reminded of the refuse discharge laws and shown the MARPOL V Placard posted in the galley. Crew is told that it is vessel policy to stow all garbage materials on board except for food and paper when the vessel is outside of 12 miles. The captain orients all new crew and passengers to the rules governing the vessel including refuse laws and refuse handling. Plastics and waste containing plastic materials will never be discharged into the water from this vessel regardless of location. If you have any questions about this plan, waste handling procedures or materials that may be discharged, please consult me. _______________________________________ _____________________ Captain Date L8R Skip See our galleries at www.justpickone.org/skip/gallery !
