2012 Ocean Ranger Guidebook 3-7-12 Terms, Abbreviations, and Acronyms for Ocean Ranger Program 15 PPM Alarm: An alarm that activates when the effluent passing though oilfiltering equipment exceeds 15 parts per million (ppm) of oil. Agent: Vessel representative hired by the ship's owners. Ship's agent may be tasked with various jobs such as: ensuring proper vessel documentation and compliance. Alaska Waters: For wastewater from large cruise ships means all waters within the boundaries of the state together with all of the waters of the Alexander Archipelago even if not within the boundaries of the state. Alexander Archipelago Waters: These are the “inside waters” of Southeast Alaska, even when more than 3 nm from land. Please see the list in the General Permit or statutes for a complete description of boundaries. Automatic Stopping Device: Is a control mechanism that ensures discharge of an oily water separator is stopped when the oil content of the effluent exceeds 15 parts per million (PPM). The automatic stopping device may be initiated by the operation of the oil content meter. AWTS: Advanced Wastewater Treatment System. A wastewater treatment system designed to treat wastewater to both MSD and secondary treatment standards. The secondary treatment standards require a higher removal of solids and nutrients (as measured by BOD) than a basic MSD. Most AWTS systems contain mechanical separation of solids by filtering or settling, a biological process to digest organic wastes, and a UV or ozone system to kill bacteria without using chlorine. Bacteria: (Singular: bacterium) Microscopic living organisms that can aid in pollution control by metabolizing organic matter in sewage, oil spills or other pollutants. However, bacteria in soil, water or air can also cause human, animal and plant health problems. Ballast: Used to improve the stability and control the draft of a ship. BAT: Best Available Technology. The best available economically achievable performance for control of pollutants. This can include changes to process operations and internal controls. Black Oil: A viscous and black or very dark brown colored oil. Depending on the quantity spilled, oil tends to quickly spread out over the water surface to a thickness of about one-millimeter. 250
2012 Ocean Ranger Guidebook 3-7-12 Black Water (sewage) Examples - possible sources toilets, urinals and drainage from medical facilities (U.S. restriction). Bilge Water: Water that collects in the lowest inner part of a ship’s hull. Bilge water is frequently contaminated with oil and other lubricants from the engine room. Under various national and international standards, discharged bilge water must not exceed a certain maximum oil concentration (for example, 15 parts per million). Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD): An indirect measure of the concentration of biologically degradable material present in organic wastes. It usually reflects the amount of oxygen consumed in five days by biological processes breaking down organic waste. Black Water: Water contaminated with human waste, collected from shipboard toilets. Under various national and international standards, black water must be treated before being discharged from a vessel. Discharge: In this context, any solid or liquid material that emanates from a vessel to a body of water, including anything spilled, leaked, poured, pumped, emitted or dumped from the vessel. Black Water System: includes marine sanitation devices (MSDs) and other systems to treat, store, and discharge sewage. MSD approvals by USCG, IMO, or Administration Approved to MARPOL Annex IV. Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD): A measure of the oxygen required to oxidize all compounds, both organic and inorganic, in water. Conductivity: A measure of the ability of a solution to carry an electrical current. Conventional Parameters: Pollutants typical of municipal sewage. BOD, TSS, bacteria, oil and grease, and pH are defined as conventional by EPA. ADEC and USCG added suspended solids, ammonia, conductivity, chlorine, ammonia, phosphorus, total organic carbon, and chemical oxygen demand to the list of conventional parameters. CVE: Control Verification Examination is the examination of vessel for compliance with SOLAS requirements and applicable U. S. regulations. More properly referred to as the Passenger Vessel Certificate of Compliance Examination. Discharge: means any release, however caused, from a commercial passenger vessel, and includes any escape, disposal, spilling, leaking, pumping, emitting, or emptying. 251
