hull maintenance areas Explanation: See the link for this: "In addition to adversely affecting marine life, material washed into the water from hull maintenance areas can also contaminate sediments in the marina basin, posing problems for dredging and the disposal of dredged material. Finally, allowing pollutants to seep into the ground can eventually contaminate the site itself, posing problems if the marina is ever to be sold. "So, it is not hard to see why it is important to keep a close eye on hull maintenance areas to ensure that the associated wastes do not get into the water. Under the Federal Coastal Nonpoint Source Pollution Control Program, the States are required to develop plans to reduce pollution from stormwater runoff from a variety of sources, including marinas. While marinas are usually not considered a major contributor to water quality problems, existing marinas are being asked to reduce the total amount of solids in runoff from boat maintenance areas by 80 percent as part of this program. The question is how best to do this." -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 46 mins (2017-12-03 15:13:44 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- "Boat-washing area" gets some hits at http://tinyurl.com/yasl8err, including this: "Marina facilities and services include a boat-washing area with ecological disposal of waste oil and batteries ..."
