RESOLUTION OF THE PORT AND COMMERCE ADVISORY
BOARD, TO RECOMMEND THE CITY OF SEWARD PROPOSAL
SUBMISSION TO THE EXXON VALDEZ OIL SPILL TRUSTEE
COUNCIL FOR A VESSEL WASH DOWN PAD FOR THE
SEWARD MARINE INDUSTRIAL CENTER
WHEREAS, the Seward Marine Industrial Center (SMIC) currently operates a
250 -ton Marine Travelift and completes an average of 85 lifts each calendar year; and
WHEREAS, the SMIC yard currently operates without a means to wash and
collect waste water from vessel cleaning operations; and
WHEREAS, the standard operating procedure is for each vessel to have a tarp
placed under to vessel to collect debris, this mechanism for collection of bottom paint and
hull washing water would be improved with the installation of a concrete wash down pad
and water treatment system; and
WHEREAS, the benefits for this project include convenience for customers and
businesses looking to perform routine maintenance on their vessel, and environmental
benefits from the collection of wash water and bottom paint; and
WHEREAS, this project may contribute in the removal of marine invasive
species which could attach to the hull of a vessel in another port and would potentially
relocate within Resurrection Bay; and
WHEREAS, this project is recommended in the Seward Marine Industrial
Center's Development Plan as adopted by City Council Resolution 2008 -33 under the
Environment and Waste Management section.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Port & Commerce Advisory Board
that:
Section 1. The Board recommends the City of Seward submit a proposal for a
vessel wash down pad for the Seward Marine Industrial Center to the Exxon Valdez Oil
Spill Trustee Council for their Invitation for Proposals for Federal Fiscal Year 2012.
PASSED AND APPROVED by Port and Commerce Advisory Board of the City of
