Brightwork -- A Best Management Practices Manual for Maine's Boatyards and Marinas
On-line Text of Brightwork
Status and updating
The “Brightwork” best management practices manual has been a number of years in revision by a dedicated group of people including members of industry, environmental advocacy organizations and regulatory departments. We fully expect this manual to evolve over time and so will publish updated sections periodically.
- One part of Section 2 is missing: the section on boat bottom washing. This issue continues to provide particular waste management challenges, but should be published by summer 2006. Print copies of the new section will be mailed to those having full print copies of the manual. An electronic version will be posted on this site when ready.
Availability of CD and hardcopy versions of this manual
In order to reduce costs, full print copies of the BMP manual (including the CD) are available only to Maine boatyard and marina owners and operators, select regulatory representatives and other states. The Brightwork CD, containing the full text of the manual, reference material, and electronic forms is available free to anyone.
- To request a full manual (including CD), or a CD, contact Pam Parker in writing or via e-mail at the address below.
