2012 Ocean Ranger Guidebook 3-7-12 What to check for: Check that valves or flappers on waste chutes are closed in Alaska waters. Check waste records for any documentation of use in Alaska waters. Citation: AS 46.03.710. Pollution prohibited. A person may not pollute or add to the pollution of the air, land, subsurface land, or water of the state. Job Aid Item: 2.2.f Text: Checked Human Factors (crew familiar with procedures, sanitation maintained, protective equipment available if needed, warning signs posted) (33CFR151.63 (b)) Background: This is another check for signs that garbage is not handled correctly. Most ships try to use clear procedures, such as color coding of wastes. In general waste sorters are dedicated crew and should be aware of the waste handling processes. What to check for: Check that the waste management plan(s) are available, and that crew are familiar with these plans. Familiarity could include training programs, such as how to identify plastic waste. Citations: 33 CFR 151.63 Shipboard control of garbage. (b) The following factors, among others, may be considered by enforcement personnel in evaluating compliance with §§151.51 through 151.77: (1) Records, including receipts, of garbage discharges at port reception facilities. (2) Records under §151.55 or log entries of garbage discharges. (3) The presence and operability of equipment to treat ship-generated garbage, including, but not limited to, incinerators, grinders, or comminuters. (4) The presence of and adherence to a written shipboard waste management plan. (5) The absence of plastics in ship stores. (6) Ongoing educational programs to train shipboard personnel of garbage handling procedures and the need for these. (7) The presence of shipboard spaces used for collecting, processing, storing and discharging ship-generated garbage. Job Aid Item: 2.2.g Text: Maintenance and repair conducted on equipment IAW 33 CFR 151.63 (b(3)) Background: This is another check for signs that garbage is not handled correctly or equipment failure is will not make is possible to handle the garbage according the plans or regulations. What to check for: Check that garbage handling equipment such as incinerators, grinders, etc. are operable. If equipment is not functioning check for extra stored wastes, and how these wastes are handled. Citation: 33 CFR 151.63 (b)3 (3) The presence and operability of equipment to treat ship-generated garbage, including, but not limited to, incinerators, grinders, or comminuters. 106
2012 Ocean Ranger Guidebook 3-7-12 Job Aid Item: 2.2.h Text: Check there are no plastics or synthetics discharged overboard. 33 CFR 151.67 Background: Discharge of plastics is not allowed in any waters. Plastic items are often difficult to break down naturally and can impact wildlife. Garbage sorting crews often check the garbage for disposal of plastics. This includes plastic bottles, caps, wrappings, blister cards, and other plastics. Most vessels separate the garbage from plastics by using dedicated garbage cans; however plastic still may end up in the garbage stream. Most garbage is sorted in dedicated spaces. Engine room or construction wastes can be handled separately. These wastes are also subject to the plastic prohibition. This includes ropes with synthetic materials, carpets, packaging, and canisters. What to check for: Check that wastes are sorted and plastics are removed if wastes are disposed of overboard. Citations: 33 CFR 151.67 Operating requirements: Discharge of plastic prohibited. No person on board any ship may discharge into the sea, or into the navigable waters of the United States, plastic or garbage mixed with plastic, including, but not limited to, synthetic ropes, synthetic fishing nets, and plastic garbage bags. All garbage containing plastics requiring disposal must be discharged ashore or incinerated. [CGD 88–002, 54 FR 18405, Apr. 28, 1989, as amended by CGD 88–002A, 55 FR 18583, May 2, 1990] Definition of Plastics from 33 CFR 151: Plastic means any garbage that is solid material that contains as an essential ingredient one or more synthetic organic high polymers, and that is formed or shaped either during the manufacture of the polymer or polymers or during fabrication into a finished product by heat or pressure or both. “Degradable” plastics, which are composed of combinations of degradable starches and are either (a) synthetically produced or (b) naturally produced but harvested and adapted for use, are plastics under this part. Naturally produced plastics such as crabshells and other types of shells, which appear normally in the marine environment, are not plastics under this part. Note: Plastics possess material properties ranging from hard and brittle to soft and elastic. Plastics are used for a variety of marine applications including, but not limited to: food wrappings, products for personal hygiene, packaging (vaporproof barriers, bottles, containers, and liners), ship construction (fiberglass and laminated structures, siding, piping insulation, flooring, carpets, fabrics, adhesives, and electrical and electronic components), disposable eating-utensils and cups (including styrene products), bags, sheeting, floats, synthetic fishing nets, monofilament fishing line, strapping bands, hardhats, and synthetic ropes and lines. Job Aid Item: 2.2.i Text: Incinerator ashes, if discharged overboard, are free of plastic residue (clinkers) or free of unburned food wastes if landed ashore IAW 33 CFR 151.67 Background: Incinerator ash could include unburned items. Plastics can melt into larger pieces rather than combusting. Food waste can also be present due to the high water content. Not all vessels incinerate plastics, some choose to offload or recycle these. Operators should have procedures for dealing with incinerator ash. Useful items to know is how it is removed from the incinerator, how volumes(or weight) are obtained, how incinerator ash is categorized as waste, and what waste streams are incinerated. 107
