Commonly Needed Plans for Marinas
Marina operators need to prepare various plans in order to comply with applicable regulations. Here are templates for some of the most commonly needed documents.
- Marinas that perform vessel maintenance and/or pressure wash boats must have a General Permit for Discharges from Marinas. The permit is issued by the
Maryland Department of the Environment.
Any facility covered by the permit must prepare a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP). This table describes
the elements of a SWPPP. (See pages 83-88 of the Maryland Clean Marina Guidebook, Chapter 9, for more information.)
- Our worksheets will assist marina managers in writing their Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plans.
