Marinas 



♦For boats registered in Rhode Island, consider initiating an inspection procedure to 

 monitor engine condition and function, and fuel leakage from components. 



♦♦♦Determine locations of poorly flushed embayments in which recreational 

 and commerciai shellfishing, other recreational use, cumulative effects of 

 contamination, habitat degradation and/or other factors indicate the 

 advisability of establishing no-discharge areas. Establish procedures for 

 siting of pump-out facilities in these areas, for buoy marking and signing, 

 and for surveillance of boats. 



♦♦Develop a policy providing for required installation of pump-out 

 facilities as a permit condition for construction or expansion of marinas of 

 a specified capacity. 



♦Consider designating zones within which marinas pool a portion of mooring fees to 

 provide for maintenance of a cooperative pump-out facility. To ensure use of pump-out 

 facilities, marinas could require that receipts from the pump-out be presented at the time of 

 collection of mooring fees.
