Issue rules governing the conduct and location of fish-cleaning operations.

If improper disposal of fish waste is an issue, then deter boaters from continuing harmful practices by adding language to the contract that prohibits improper disposal of fish waste within the marina confines.

Insert language into facility contract that requires tenants to use certain areas and techniques when conducting boat maintenance.

If boat maintenance activities occur within the marina, clearly state the proper procedures for this activity in the contract. For instance, if boat maintenance is only allowed in designated areas, state that in the contract. An outside contractor doing work in the marina also needs a contract. If other practices have been implemented, such as using tarps or sweeping the work area immediately after the maintenance activity is complete, then state those conditions in the contract.

Have a clearly written outside contractors agreement.

The facility is often responsible for pollution problems that negligent outside contractors can create. Because this threat exists, arrange for any outside contractors to sign into the facility. While they are signing in, provide them with information about the facility's pollution prevention policies. If it is necessary, have the contractors sign an agreement that clearly identifies their responsibilities.
