1. Workshop Measurement Is This Possible? 2000-2005 Marina Project Sara J. Johnson, M.S. New Hampshire Pollution Prevention Program Marina Project Coordinator September 2005

2. Agenda Measurement Goal Audience 2002 Marina Workshop –Best Management Practices –Phone survey 2005 Marina Workshop –Four Topics –Pre-workshop survey –Post-workshop survey –Site visits Quantitative/Qualitative Survey Results Lessons Learned

3. Measurement Goal Grant Requirements –Number of management changes implemented; –Pounds of sanding dust emissions eliminated; –Pounds of waste plastic recycled; –Gallons of waste bilge oil captured; –Gallons of wash water reduced; –Gallons of oil and antifreeze recycled;

4. Measurement Goals Research –MA Coastal Zone Management 2.5 quarts of hydrocarbons per sock –Number of boats/socks –Number of gallons NOT discharged to surface water and/or ground –Local Marinas Average size lake boat – 24 feet Antifreeze –3 gallons per outboard or i/o engines Shrink wrap –28-foot boat uses 60 lbs of wrap Washing Vessel –Hand wash – 15 gallons –Bottom wash – pressure washer – 4 gallons –Pre-treatment will reduce volume

5. Audience Started relationships in 2000 New Hampshire Marine Trade Association members –Monthly meetings DES contacts –Boat registration program –Clean Vessel Act –Milfoil control/prevention Less than 90 marinas –High percentage in Lakes Region

6. 2002 Marina Workshop 31 marinas 90% were NHMTA members Numerous topics –BMPS –Exotic species Phone survey –Four basic questions Labeling waste Recycling used oil Short term project Results –Nothing quantitative

7. 2005 Marina Workshop 30 marinas 90% were NHMTA members Personal relationship –NHMTA meetings –Site visits Pre-workshop survey –19 questions on BMP implementation –87% response rate –Not quantitative Post-workshop survey –30% response rate –100% are our “friends”

8. Site Visits Clean Vessel Act participants 25 marinas –75% attended the 2005 workshop –25% were first timers Visual inspections –Wash stations –Verify post-survey responses

9. Quantitative Survey Results Antifreeze 2002 –Antifreeze is properly collected, stored and reused. 15 yes 9 no 2 n/a Antifreeze 2005 –Storing engines wet Average – 3 gallons/engine 2000 engines 6000 gallons of antifreeze discharged –Storing engines dry Average – 1 cup/engine 4243 engines 265 gallons

10. Quantitative Survey Results Wash stations 2002 –Vessel cleaning is conducted in a designated area, away from surface water….. 13 yes 10 no 3 n/a Wash Stations 2005 –Discharged to surface waste 2360 boats 15 gallon hand wash 35,4000 gallons –Discharged to ground/sewer/tank 8016 boats 120,240 gallons

11. Qualitative Results Workshop attendees are from “good” marinas –Dry store engines –Dedicated vessel cleaning stations –Welcome information –NHMTA members Friendships can last years –Site visit –Workshops Needs of marina –Signage for their customers –Contract language, but marina needs to enforce

12. Lessons Learned Pre-conference Surveys –Ask for “real” numbers Number of boats Number of oil changes/year –Amount of oil that is recycled Time and Resources –Plan ahead –Follow-up Intern Training for Site Visits –Clear expectations –Quantitative questions –Complete survey during visit

13. Lessons Learned Workshop Topics –Plan workshop to provide measurement? Target desired outcome –Pick a topic that is measurable –Plan workshop to address needs of sector? Half day is better than whole day –Number of questions on survey –Number of topics on survey
