Chapter 15. On-site Drinking Water Systems

1. If you have a public drinking water system, you have obtained approval and operating
license for your drinking water system from EPA.
2. You monitor your public water system and have samples tested in accordance with

EPA/OSHA rules.
3. You maintain the area surrounding your drinking water well to prevent pollution from
a septic system, unused wells, etc.
Chapter 16. Site Selection, New or Expanding Boating Clubs
1. You plan new facilities in previously-developed waterfront sites.
2. You have complied with all federal and state laws for threatened or endangered

species.
3. You have avoided disturbance or development of Category III (high quality)
wetlands, and avoided or mitigated disturbance of Categories I and II wetlands and
riparian
areas.
4. You have scheduled construction to avoid critical migration, nesting, and spawning
periods of important species of fish and wildlife.
5. You have designed your Boating Club to facilitate flushing.

6. You have performed preconstruction inspection, assessment, monitoring and/or

modeling for water quality conditions.


7. You make provision to systematically monitor water quality at your Boating Club
during
operations.
8. You do not use asphalt near water surfaces.

9. You locate buildings, workshops, waste storage facilities, parking, vessel storage, and

vessel repair facilities away from the water to the extent possible.
Chapter 17. Boating Club Design, Redesign and Maintenance

1. You leave an open gap at the shoreward end of crib docks to facilitate littoral
transport of sand and gravel past the structure and prevent stagnant areas. The gap

length should be determined site specifically by the project engineer.

2. You use environmentally neutral materials for pilings and other construction and fill.
Cadmium chromium arsenate (CCA) treated lumber or creosote treated lumber and
asphalt or other petroleum-based substances are prohibited below the ordinary

high-water mark.

3. You minimize the impacts of dredging by not dredging during critical migration or
spawning periods, by avoiding colonial waterbird nesting areas and historic waterfowl
staging and concentration areas, and selecting an appropriate disposal site and

containment design.

4. Your shore erosion control measures give preference to non-structural measures,


such as beach nourishment, native grasses, marsh creation, and other methods that

encourage the preservation of the natural environment.

5. You minimize the adverse effects of erosion control projects on adjacent properties
(stream banks and shorelines), navigation, threatened or endangered species, and

significant historic or archaeological resources.


6. If non-structural measures alone are not sufficient to control erosion, structural
measures may be used to stabilize and ensure the long-term viability of the non-
structural controls.

7. In areas where existing protection methods are being flanked or are failing, you
implement properly designed and constructed shore erosion control methods such as

returns or return walls, toe protection, and proper maintenance or total replacement.

8. You protect sensitive habitat using waterwise landscaping practices such as watering
deeply and infrequently, selecting plants requiring less care, mulching, or using gray

water and rain water.


9. You protect sensitive habitat using integrated pest management techniques such as
selecting disease and insect resistant plants, mowing lawns and pulling weeds to
reduce reliance on herbicides, fostering natural predators, or as a last resort using

least toxic chemicals applied at times to minimize leaching into the water.

10. You protect sensitive habitat by planting and maintaining vegetated buffers, using
native plants that require little care, choosing plants that attract birds, small mammals

and other wildlife.


Chapter 18. Boating Club Management

1. You include language requiring the use of best management practices in all of your
contracts: slip holders, liveaboards, transients, charters, workers, contractors, and

tenants.
2. You post a sign informing boaters of "no wake law" near Boating Clubs.
3. You post signs informing boaters of Boating Club environmental policies and locations
of
receptacles, fish cleaning, etc.

4. You provide information (brochures, fact sheets, workshops, tours) to boaters about
your Boating Club and best boating practices.
5. You offer environmental audits for boaters.

SEPTIC TANK
Have your septic tank inspected annually to ensure that the internal structures are in good
working
order and to monitor the scum level.
Have tank pumped out by a licensed professional.
Do not dispose of grease, oil, or chemicals in the septic system . Garbage disposals should
not be used with septic systems.
Avoid septic system additives or cleaners that contain hazardous ingredients.
Only use normal amounts of detergents, bleaches, drain cleaners, household cleaners and
other
products.
Divert roof runoff, drains and other surface runoff away from the leachfield.
Reduce the amount of water that flows through the system by practicing water
conservation, such as
using water-saving devices and repairing leaky plumbing.
Look for signs of septic system failure.
Consider replacing old or outdated systems and rem oving unused systems. Keep vehicles
and other heavy objects off of the leach field and lines.
Follow manufacturers guidelines for operation and maintenance of the system. This is
particularly for
systems with aeration tanks.
Other protection strategies:

Clean up chemical spills (even small ones) immediately.


Have absorbent spill material (cat litter, sawdust, etc.) available. Train employees on
proper spill cleanup.
Other protection strategies:

Move chemical storage as far from wells as possible.


Ensure that lids are shut and caps are closed on all containers.

Employ measures to protect against spillage such as using drip pans during the transfer of
liquids. Educate personnel for proper storage, use, cleanup, and disposal of materials.
