| WASTE
MANAGEMENT PLAN
ANY INTRACOASTAL TRANSPORTATION VESSEL
The captain of any Intracoastal Transportation vessel is designated as
the person in charge of carrying out this plan. All crew members are responsible
for strictly adhering to the following rules:
1. No wastes of any kind, other dishwater and grey water,
may be discharged overboard without the express permission of the captain.
No exceptions. Captain must log discharge.
2. Garbage, Trash and Plastics. No garbage, trash and especially no plastics
of any kind may be discharged overboard at any time. This includes aluminum
cans, plastic containers, paper goods, wood scraps, synthetic line and
all other ship-generated trash. All crewmembers will deposit trash, garbage
and plastic in the appropriate containers. These must be taken ashore
and disposed of properly. It is the captain’s responsibility to
log all shore side trash disposals and to keep any invoices for these
disposals.
3. Sewage. This vessel is equipped with a sewage treatment plant. The
captain is responsible to insure that it is maintained in accordance with
the manufacturer’s instructions and 33 Code of Federal Regulations
Part 159. Sewage holding tanks (Type III) must be periodically discharged
ashore. The captain must log all sewage discharges and keep invoices of
disposal.
4. Waste Oil. No petroleum-based product may be discharged overboard.
Any oil discharge must be reported to the U.S. Coast Guard immediately.
The captain’s next call must be to the office. The captain is responsible
for ensuring that the vessel’s bilges are free of any appreciable
oil. This must include daily bilge checks and seeing that waste oil is
stored in appropriate containers. The captain must log all oil/fuel transfers
and any discharges. Any oily rags and/or absorbent materials used to contain
oil, will be placed in a covered metal pail and discharged ashore.
All persons discharging waste materials ashore will obey all applicable
local, state and federal laws. If in doubt, ask the captain. Any person
failing to comply with this plan will face termination.
