at <'• :;ulf Coasts continues to increase from util-
i?.c,'i >n of coastal areas for recreation, industrial
cs«  opment and retirement. Increased develop-
mc' along the southeastern coast has brought

Steadily increasing recreational and commercial
utilization of these coastal areas has heightened
the concern for protecting and conserving the
natural and aesthetic resources; the very  re-
sources that attract people to the coast.

• 60 percent of America's threatened or endan-
  gered species live in the coastal zone.2
• Each year 2,500 acres of wetlands are lost in
  the Southeastern States due to population
  growth  and urbanization, energy  develop-
  ment, industrial development and recreational
  activities.1

Overall increased  development throughout the
coastal  zone  in  conjunction with  increasing
demand for recreational marina facilities has led
to progressively complex issues that  must be
resolved by  governmental  agencies, marina
developers and coastal residents. These issues
are related to the  need to protect the  sensitive
coastal environment, while preserving or enhanc-
ing multiple uses of valuable coastal resources.
                                                   Coastal Marinas Assessment Handbook is an
                                                   up-to-date  and comprehensive handbook  of
                                                   information that addresses many of these envi-
                                                   ronmental issues. The Handbook was developed
                                                   by EPA Region IV to provide guidance to marina
                                                   developers and regulatory agencies for the devel-
                                                   opment of coastal marinas in an environmentally
                                                   sound manner. Although developed specifically
                                                   for the Region IV States, much of the information
                                                   in the Coastal Marinas Handbook is applicable
                                                   nationwide.

COASTAL MARINAS IN REGION IV
The six Coastal States of EPA Region IV provide
almost 18,000 miles of shoreline.3 The innumer-
able estuaries, sounds, bays and tidal rivers invite
exploration by  recreational boaters. Approx-
imately 930 marinas presently serve recreational
boaters along the coast in Region IV.


Increased  recreational use of coastal waters is
evident throughout the Southeast. From 1980 to
1985 coastal marinas in South Carolina increased
from 12 to 35 with 24 pending permits. In Florida,
demand for coastal berthing facilities is projected
to increase by 63 percent between 1982 and
2005.

Along the  Intracoastal Waterway in  Region  IV,
Florida and North Carolina have the largest num-
ber of marinas serving cruising  boats of at least
25 feet in length. Most of the marinas serve both
power and sailboats year-round. These marinas
provide the opportunity for overnight docking or
permanent liveaboards. Services offered include
engine, propeller and hull repair, fuel, electricity,
sanitary services and food.

In addition to their value in providing protected
moorage for boats, coastal marinas provide many
social and  economic benefits including:
• Access to coastal waters
• Focal points for community activities
• Focus for upland development
• Tax revenues for local communities
• Revenue for owners and the broader marine
  industry
• Employment opportunities.

Environmental impacts from coastal marina con-
struction and operation may be temporary or long-
term. Adverse impacts may result from:

• Dredging and dredged material disposal
• Placement and design of shoreline and protec-
  tive structures
• Wastewater discharge and stormwater runoff
• Boat operation and maintenance.

The potential for adverse environmental impacts
is a function of many variables including marina
location, design, services offered and numberand
type of boats served. Therefore, the potential for
adverse environmental change is not the same
for all marinas. The potential for adverse impacts
can be heightened when marina siting, design
and management is not based on sound environ-
mental principles.

The demand for recreational marinas is high in
the coastal area and will continue to increase. The
challenge is to meet this demand through pru-
dent application  of environmentally sound prin-
ciples in the siting, design, construction and opera-
tion of coastal  marinas. The  Coastal  Marinas
Handbook  provides guidance for meeting this
challenge.

COASTAL MAR IN AS:  THE ENVIRONMENTAL APPROACH
The Coastal  Marinas Handbook examines the
major aspects of coastal marina development:

• Siting
• Environmental impacts
• Environmental solutions
• Regulation.

Each of these topics is broad in scope and is dis-
cussed in consecutive chapters of the Handbook.

Handbook organization follows the typical marina
development process.Thisorganization provides
the user with a stepwise approach to environ-
mentally sound marina development from siting
considerations through environmental solutions
applicable during marina operation and mainte-
nance.

Information in the Siting  chapter permits early
identification of permitting issues resulting from
potential environmental impacts; the Environ-
mental Impacts chapter presents techniques for
assessing these environmental impacts; the Envi-
ronmental Solutions chapter provides alternative
measures for resolving potential permitting issues.
The regulatory framework for marina develop-
ment in  Region IV is described in the Regulation
chapter.

Siting—Site selection based upon a clear under-
standing of potential environmental impacts may
be the single most important factorfor successful
coastal  marina development Proper siting can
avoid many permitting issues and help eliminate
costly environmental solutions. The Siting chap-
ter provides the marina developer with a g uide f or
site planning prior to initiating permit applications.
Topics discussed include:

•  Marina development process

•  Environmental and engineering considerations
   for site planning
•  Advantages and disadvantages of potential
   marina sites
•  Identification of potential permitting issues.
Environmental Impacts — Environmentally
sound marina development can best occur when
potential impacts are assessed early enough in
the coastal marina development process to allow
for solutions in the planning and design phases of
marfna development. The Environmental Impacts
chapter provides the marina developer,  design
engineer and regulator with  impact assessment
techniques that can be used to evaluate potential
environmental impacts for proposed marina sites
or design configurations.

The techniques presented provide reasonable
approximations for screening potential impacts.
These techniques also can be used in evaluating
marina permit applications orto evaluate the oper-
ational performance of the coastal marina. Topics
discussed include:

• Approach to environmental assessment
• Potential impacts to coastal resources
• Impact assessment techniques for:
  — Water quality impacts
  — Ecological impacts
  — Other impacts.
                                               Problem area:  Hull repair at the water's edge

-------
Environmental Solutions — Following proper
siting, the ultimate environmental performance of
a marina depends on the design, construction
and operation of the facility. Although many envi-
ronmental impacts can be avoided through marina
siting and design, unavoidable impacts can occur.
The Environmental Solutions chapter provides
the marina planner, developer and regulator with
optional solutions for:

• Water quality impacts

• Ecological impacts
• Other impacts.

The various options serve as a source for impact
mitigation during:

• Marina design and construction
• Marina operation and maintenance.

Regulation — Marina permitting processes vary
considerably within EPA Region IV. The marina
developer can use information in the Regulation
chapter to identify the principal permitting and
review agencies and agency concerns for impacts
to specific coastal resources. Permit application
and review processes for each Region IV coastal
state are  summarized.  Additional  guidance
includes:
• Regulatory/planning  processes and agency
  responsibilities
• Functional roles of Federal, State and Local
  agencies
• Basis for decision-making
• Actions required of the  marina developer in
  obtaining a permit.
The Coastal Marinas Handbook also includes:
• A detailed bibliography of related literature

• Sample permit application forms
• Permit evaluation criteria
• Examples of measurement methods for marina
  environmental assessment
• Examples of ordinances now being enacted by
  local  governments  to regulate the marina
  industry.

SITING THE COASTAL  MARINA
Many permitting problems and costly delays in
obtaining permits can be avoided by selecting an
environmentally sound marina site. The informa-
tion in the Siting chapter assists the coastal marina
developer in obtaining an overview of the advan-
tages and problem areas associated with specific
marina  sites.  This  overview is  provided  by a
screening checklist designed to flag potential
permitting  issues that could adversely affect
marina permit approval. These issues involve:
• Wetland resources
• Shellfish resources
• Protected habitats and species
• Existing water quality
• Marina flushing potential
• Navigation
• Public access
• Existing regulations, rules, policies or guidelines
• Local opinion
• Historic/archaeological resources
                                                 The checklist also is useful for identifying areas
                                                 where additional information may be needed. It is
                                                 keyed to subsequent sections of the Handbook
                                                 that present environmental  assessment tech-
                                                 niques and alternative environmental solutions to
                                                 marina impact problems. The Handbookaddresses
                                                 the relationship of marina construction and oper-

                                                  coastal site can be made into a marina, but gener-

                                                  potential for environmental impacts. The Siting
                                                  chapter describes site  characeristics that can
                                                  make candidate marina sites more desirable or
                                                  less desirable.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS OF MARINA DEVELOPMENT
The potential forenvironmental impacts and their
significance are a function of marina design and
operational characteristics. The potential will not
be the same for every marina. Basic environ-
mental assessment techniques can be reasonably
applied in screening potential environmental prob-
lem areas. The Environmental Impacts chapter
provides basic techniques for  use in evaluating
proposed marina  sites,  marina  design  con-
figurations or marina permit applications.

The impact assessment techniques contained in
the  Handbook  provide  reasonable approx-
imations for screening problem areas when site-
specific data are not available. Complex computer
models that require interpretation by  an expert
familiar with the model are not discussed, although
these techniques may be necessary in order to
make a final determination of the significance of
problem areas identified during initial screening.
        Impact assessment techniques provided in the
        Handbook cover three broad areas:
        • Water quality impacts
        • Ecological impacts
        • Other impacts.


        Many of the activities in a marina, such as dredg-
        ing, wastewater disposal, fueling operations and
        boat maintenance may affect the water quality in
        the marina basin and adjacent waters. These im-
        pacts can result from the discharge or accumula-
        tion of pollutants, nutrients, oxygen-demanding
        wastes or sanitary wastes. Therefore, flushing and
        circulation  are important characteristics to  be
        considered in marina planning and design. Two to
        four day flushing times are generally considered
        satisfactory.

In the Handbook, methods are presented for esti-
mating flushing time, sediment deposition and
shoaling rates and sedimentation from construc-
tion. Dilution and dispersion methods for estimat-
ing pollutant concentrations in open and semi-
enclosed marinas are presented. Empirical meth-
ods and dye studies that may be used to estimate
waste contribution from boats are discussed.

Guidance is given on how to consider the signifi-
cant ecological impacts. These  impacts include:

• Effects of construction, boat operation and pol-
  lutants on shellfish,  grassbeds  and  water
  quality
• Presence of protected species or habitats on or
  near the marina site
• Increased fecal coliform concentrations affect-
  ing the commercial and recreational  harvest-
  ing of shellfish near marinas
• Danger to manatees and sea  turtles from colli-
  sions with boats
• Effects on  historical/archaeological, aesthetic
  and navigation resources.

ENVIRONMENTAL   SOLUTIONS   TO   MARINA   IMPACT
The ultimate environmental performance of a
properly sited marina depends on the  marina
design, construction and operation. The Environ-
mental Solutions chapter provides the  marina
developer with alternative measures that can be
used to solve potential environmental problems
in  marina design, construction, operation and
maintenance as they affect waterquality, ecologi-
cal and other coastal resources.
        Poroua surface for runoff control
Controlling  pollutants from runoff  and  boat
wastes is a critical environmental solution. Meas-
ures that have or can be used include:
  Proper planning that complements the marina
  design can help avoid or minimize many of the
  impacts from marina development.

  Designs making maximum use of natural site
  attributes can significantly reduce or eliminate
  adverse construction impacts.
  Use of clear and concise marina operation and
  maintenance planscan contribute significantly
  to the environmentally sound performance of
  the marina facility.

 PROBLEMS
In addition to the pollutant control  measures,
ecological solutions for protecting aquatic habi-
tats, shellfish and wetlands include:

• Use of sediment curtains during dredging
• Minimizing habitat modifications

• Scheduling construction activities around crit-
  ical spawning or breeding periods
• Informing marina users of the presence of sen-
  sitive habitats and organisms and the need to
  avoid these sensitive areas
• Using sloping vegetated revetments and float-
  ing or detached breakwaters
• Extending  dockage to deep water areas and
  providing upland boat storage
• Planting mangroves,  marsh jrasseo or sea-
  grasses to compensate for unavoidable habitat
  losses.

Many coastal states impose buffer zones around
marinas, and shellfish beds are closed to harvest-
ing  in these areas. The Handbook provides a de-
tailed discussion of marina permitting, shellfish
resources and interpretation of the antidegrada-
tion policy as it applies to permitting marinas in
open shellf ishing waters because of the potential
for  resource-use conflicts between shellfisher-
men and marina developers.

Other alternative environmental solutions involve
public  access and aesthetic resources. Marina
designs that  incorporate  provisions for  public
access to navigable waters by  providing boat
ramps, parks or other public recreational facilities
are considered to be positive factors during per-
mit  application  review. Marinas that  are attrac-
tively designed and well-maintained can enhance
the coastal area in which they are located.

Designing the marina for maximum use of natural
site attributes, using good operation and main-
      Deployment of sediment curtains
       to protect sensitive organisms
     EXISTI'.G SLOPE
   Vegetated revetment providing aquatic habitat
tenance practices, and  selecting  appropriate
alternative environmental solutions can facilitate
the entire marina development process from per-
mit application through  completion of marina
development.

REGULATION IN MARINA DEVELOPMENT
A complex and sometimes confusing variety of
federal, state, regional and local regulations con-
cerning coastal marina development have evolved
over the years. These regulations are designed to
protect the public interest and conserve coastal
resources by reducing development impacts and
providing foran orderly approach to coastal marina
development.

The Regulatory chapter in the Coastal Marinas
Handbook provides both marina developers and
regulatory agency staff with a resource that out-
lines the objectives, procedures and areas of re-
sponsibility for the principal regulators of marina
development. Because of the complexity of the
marina permitting process, it is advisable for the
marina developer to  request a pre-application
conference with permitting agencies after selec-
tion of the marina site.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (COE) is the
primary federal agency involved with  permitting
of coastal marinas. EPA develops the criteria used
by the COE and also has authority to veto Section
404 (d redge and fill) permits. The National Marine
Fisheries Service and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service have significant review roles but do not
issue permits. The U.S. Coast Guard  is respon-
sible for inspection of marine sanitation devices
(MSD's) aboard  boats and gives approval for
placement of navigational aids.

Marina permit and review at the state level can be
complex, involving multiple agencies, and varies
among Region IV coastal states. Some states
issue separate state dredge and fill, marshland or
wetland permits for marina developments, while
other states review federal permit applications
but do not issue separate state permits. With the
exception of Georgia, all coastal states have veto
power over federal perm its if the proposed action
is  inconsistent with the state's Coastal  Zone
Management program. All states issue water
quality certifications under authority of the Clean
Water Act.
           dredging/filling
           beach nourishment
           construction of:
            canals or islands
            boat ramps
            breakwaters
            bulkheads

           dolphins
           groins or  jetties
           piers
           discharging materials
           placement of:
             signs
             mooring buoys
             riprap
             pipes or cables
                         Some activitie* requiring permits

-------
The Clean Water Act  requires states to adopt
water quality standards that define state water
quality goals for water bodies by indicating uses
for the water body and setting criteria to protect
that use. The water quality standards program,
through the antidegradation policy, requires that
existing uses be maintained. Shellfish harvesting
is a use covered by the antidegradation regula-
tions. The Handbook discusses the state's role in
considering the antidegradation policy as itapplies
to state decision-making related to marina devel-
opment in shellfishing waters.

Regional and local agencies require various per-
mits and compliance with ordinances. Increasing
participation of regional and local  agencies in
marina development has been observed in Cali-
fornia and Florida. Some county regulations re-
quire liveaboard boats in marinas to be connected
to a slipside sanitary wastewater system that de-
livers wastes to the municipal sewer system.
Innovative approaches are in place or are under
development within Region IV  to simplify  the
marina permitting process.
  Joint state/federal permits and granting states
  authority under Army Corps of Engineer general
  permits have been used to better coordinate
  among state and federal agencies.

  Clear and objective permit criteria made avail-
  able to the marina developer and explained at
  the pre-application conference expedite the
  permitting process.
  A "Cooperative Outreach Program" can further
  streamline permitting processes by assigning
  a state field representative to assist the marina
  developer through the permitting process.
