Subsection 1: Non-Hazardous Waste (Garbage) Daily;
Job Aid Item: 2.1.a
Text: Garbage logs are up to date. Include in information section if garbage operations (off loads /
discharges) in Alaska were conducted (monitoring recording reporting) (18AAC 69.035 / 33 CFR
151.55(b-d).
Background: Annex V of MARPOL contains recordkeeping requirements. These recordkeeping
requirements are listed under 33 CFR 151.55. An example log is included as Example 1 in this section
after the list of checked items.
What to check for: Check that a garbage log is maintained and up-to-date. Check for any records of
discharge of plastics overboard. Check for disposal of materials in areas prohibited, such as glass within
12nm. Also check the methodologies used to calculate or estimate the waste volume or weight.
Check the log entries against the solid waste offload plan to see if there are deviations. Deviations are
allowed from the Alaska waste offload plan, but these deviations need to be submitted to ADEC by
November 15 th in a deviation report. Record offloads information in the information section of the daily
report. This will allow ADEC to check if the volumes and facilities used match the waste plans and final
deviation reports.
