I like some of the content of Kindred Spirit's plan, but I have tweaked it a 
bit. 

 

Here is what I came up with:

 

WASTE MANAGEMENT PLAN

for

APHRODITE, USCG No. 589116

 

1.  This plan describes policy and procedure for handling this vessel's garbage 
according to MARPOL Annex V and 33 CFR Subparts 151.51 through 151.77.  The 
captain of this vessel is responsible for carrying out this plan.  All 
crewmembers and embarked persons shall follow the instructions contained 
herein.  It is the general policy of this vessel that all food waste and 
garbage will be retained on board for proper disposal ashore.

 

2.  All waste for this vessel is collected in the proper container/bag in 
galley and heads and stored in the cabinet beneath the galley basin, with the 
starboard deck locker as back-up. All disposal shall be done strictly in 
accordance with the following:

 

  1.. If the vessel is in a slip, at anchor, or on a mooring, all waste of 
every kind will be carried from the vessel and disposed of in the nearest 
dumpster as permitted or authorized by the proper municipal or marina authority 
or harbormaster. 
 

  2.. If the vessel is on inland waters (including all of the Great Lakes), or, 
if at sea, if within 12 nautical miles of land, no waste of any type shall be 
discharged. This prohibition includes, but is not limited to paper, food, and 
garbage. All disposal shall be made in accordance with subparagraph 2.a., 
above. 
 

  3.. If the vessel is at sea and beyond 12 miles from land, certain 
non-plastic and non-floating waste may be discharged if storage space is not 
available. In such case, all plastics (including foamed plastic) are to be 
segregated from other wastes and stored on board for proper disposal ashore, in 
accordance with subparagraph 2.a., above. Only those materials permitted for 
discharge according to the MARPOL Annex V placard (displayed in galley) may be 
discharged in the water. This is generally limited to food material and 
non-floating paper waste generated aboard.  In no case will waste of any kind 
be discharged into the water without the captain's prior inspection and 
explicit permission. 
 

  4.. Plastics and waste containing plastic materials will never be discharged 
into the water from this vessel regardless of location. 
 

3.  All crewmembers and passengers boarding this vessel shall be shown the 
MARPOL V Placard and made aware of applicable refuse discharge laws.  Crew 
shall be required to enforce vessel policy regarding stowing all waste on board 
for disposal ashore, with the limited exception for food and paper when the 
vessel is beyond 12 miles from land.

 

Any person having any question about this plan, any waste handling procedure, 
or any material which may be discharged from this vessel is directed to consult 
the captain.

Date

 

***

The foregoing is a tad redundant (e.g., 2.a. and 2.b. could be organized as a 
single paragraph, as they have same effect, but I separated for simplicity in 
application. The above can be cut and pasted into a word program for 
modification, if anyone is interested. 

 

Thanks to each of you who raised this issue and disclosed the language and 
links.

 

Of course, if this is taken literally (which I think is contemplated), I can 
see my passengers asking for my inspection of and permission to flush head 
contents, even if we are a hundred miles offshore. I suppose I ought to make 
another placard which would serve to temporarily overrule subparagraph 2.c. as 
it applies to waste conventionally deposited in the heads, eliminating the 
requirement that I inspect prior to disposal if the waste has previously been 
consumed by a human and we are beyond the requisite distance from land.

Here is what I use

 

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.
