Clean Marina Program
Clean Marina Program Workshop – Agenda (PDF) This seminar provided an introduction to the R. I. Clean Marina Program, including the discussion of some changes that have been made to the program that will provide further benefits to applicants to the program. The seminar also explained, at the request of some marina owners, the application of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act to the RI marina industry. Two presentations, one by the DEM and another by the EPA covered a large body of information on Hazardous Waste Management under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act. |
The RI Coastal Resources Management Council has developed a Clean Marina Program with the RI Marine Trades Association, RI Department of Environmental Management, EPA and Save The Bay to protect the state’s coastal waters and benefit the marina industry in Rhode Island. These groups held a series of public workshops during 2006 in an effort to educate the public and industry members on the program.
The Clean Marina Program is a voluntary initiative designed to reward marinas that go beyond regulatory requirements by applying innovative pollution prevention best management practices (BMPs) to their day-to-day operations.
A RI Clean Marina Guidebook and self-assessment checklist have been developed by the CRMC as tools to assist marinas toward becoming RI Clean Marinas. Marinas that achieve this status will be presented the RI Clean Marina Award and other highly publicized incentives to distinguish them as top tier “green” businesses that offer clean, safe, and environmentally friendly facilities.
