Cyclonic Filtration Solutions for EPA Compliant Boat Washing
The EPA has identified contaminates from hull pressure cleaning to be a major source of
"NonWint source pollution' Pressure washing boat bottoms to remove marine organisms removes
antifouling paint including dissolved metals in concentrations harmful to the marine environment.
Even in small concentrations, untreated pressure washing wastewater runoff from a wash pad can
adversely impact water quality. Additionally, sediments contaminated with copper, lead, zinc and
other metals can cause problems related to dredged material disposal. Pollutants dissolved in
pressure washing wastewater can potentially pollute soil and ground water in upland areas.
Encyclon's patented recycling_s s�offers a real solution for controlling wash pad run-off during
boat pressure washing.
Marina Pressure Washer Water Recycling
Most clean marina initiatives have addressed this problem,
however very few real solutions are offered. The contaminates
s
found in anti-fouling paint present a real problem for marina
z •« operators, and many of the EPA's recommended solutions for
managing this waste water may present future compliance issues.
i
The EPA recommends several ways of dealing with pressure wash
runoff, but the only real solution is to eliminate the runoff of
contaminated water.
Closed-loop recycle systems for power wash units are the best way
TM to ensure EPA compliance for nonpoint source pollution. Any
r other wash down system that allows contaminated water to enter
the watershed allows for the possibility of future compliance
a, issues.
The three most common methods for handing power wash run-off
just don't make sense.The following environmentally risky
practices are often in use today at some Marinas:
• The discharge of recycled or treated wash water in to a municipal sewer system is a
dangerous practice. Even if the runoff is properly treated and filtered before discharge, the
quality will be closely monitored. Accidental discharge of water above the specified toxicity
levels could result in hefty fines, and negative publicity.

Clean Marina Pressure Washer Water Recycling 12/26/08 12:23 R
• The diversion of runoff to a permeable surface is often recommended. This is the most
dangerous practice of all. The current focus is to keep the runoff out of the water, however
in most other industries the EPA has focused on soil quality. If a facility were to divert the
runoff into a holding area then spread it into the grass,they face the potential for a future
clean-up of the "contaminated soil." A contaminated soil clean-up can cost hundreds of
thousands of dollars, and render property values worthless.
• The common method of allowing the runoff to flow back into the water is increasingly
under attack. If the runoff was filtered and treated before being discharged into the water;
compliance issues would be closely monitored. System failures create the possibility of
hefty fines.
Advantages to Encyclon Filtration for Pressure Water Recycling
High Efficiency
Encyclon Cyclonic Filtration Systems purify and remove particulate contaminates down to 5
microns or .00019 inches. The cone has a 98% efficacy rating, however since the water is recycled
hundreds of times the 98% efficacy is multiplied endlessly. The Systems will remove most
particles (swarf) that do not float.
Arrests Bacteria Growth
Encyclon cyclones continuously aerate the coolant during filtration to check anaerobic bacterial
growth. The system prevents most water odor problems caused by bacteria without using
expensive biocides and chemicals. Water is continuously recycled at a high 7:1 ratio for the 20
gpm Encyclon filtration units and a typical 3 gpm pressure washer.
Modular Design
Building block design lets you customize the Encyclon Cyclonic Filtration System for your
application. Our systems are designed to work with your wash pad and tank requirements.
Easy To Install
Encyclon self prime systems are easy to install. The unit is completely assembled and tested
before shipping. You connect the water feed and return lines from your system then just plug your
unit into a standard marine dockside electrical connection using the supplied power cord and turn
the switch on.
Simple to Service with Low Maintenance
Most models have just one moving part—the cyclone pump. Maintenance costs are kept at a
minimum. There.are hundreds of similar systems re-cycling water from truck washes with
virtually no downtime. The low cost long life ceramic cones are simply unscrewed to replace. The
system cleans itself as it runs. There is no expensive paper or sand filter media to change because
none is used with Encyclon systems. The laborious Process of shoveling a settlement tank is gone,
since the debris is discharged into a wheeled container.
Fast Pay-back
Avoid costly non-compliance penalties. This low cost Encyclon recycling system offers a quick

About MassDEP Management of Hazardous Waste at Boatyards & Marinas
Public Participations,News Boat repair and maintenance activities create wastes that are considered hazardous and require
proper handling. Managers of boatyards and marinas are liable for all hazardous waste on their
Airs Climate premises. Typical wastes which are classified as"hazardous"include oil, grease, diesel fuel
(waste ail), city bilgewater, contaminated soil; gasoline and water(ignitable if flash point is less
Water.Wastewaters Wetlands than 140?17;solvents, such as acetone, kerosene, mineral spirits; strong acids and alkalines
Waste s Recycling (corrosive if below 2 or above 12.5 pH);and paint chips or leftover paint(often toxic, if marine
paint).
priorities& results If you operate a boalyard, you can protect your
property by
reduce, reuse, recycle
solid waste facilities • Specifying good waste management practices as requirements in contracts with your
customers,
hazardous waste management • Posting signs, and setting up a special waste disposal area for these wastes. Each type of
laws& rules waste must be stored in a closed container, labeled as Hazardous Waste with the name of
the waste,and dated when the waste was first put in the container.
permits,reporting&fors • Checking containers for leaks at least weekly. If the waste is stored outdoors, it must be in
grants&financial assistance containers on a surface which has no cracks or gaps and there must be secondary
compliance assistance containment to catch any leaks or spills. It is a significantly greater cost to you if your
property becomes contaminated and you have to pay for a clean-up contractor.
enforcement
There is paperwork involved.Anyone who produces,transports,treats, or disposes of hazardous
ToxicesHazards waste must notify the Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP).To notify MassDEP,
Cleanup of Sites c Spills determine your"generator status"(see below),then download,complete and submit a registration
form. Your hazardous waste status will determine which regulations apply.
Service Center The volume of hazardous waste which a boatyard or marina can accumulate before shipping-and
the length of time it can be held-depends on the volume generated in any peak month.
Calendar Hazardous waste must be shipped with a Massachusetts licensed hazardous waste transporter to
a licensed facility unless the boatyard or marina qualifies as a Very Small Quantity Generator

If you sell oil at retail, you are subject to the following law:
Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 21, Section 52A
Automobile Service Stations, etc. to Install and Maintain Waste Oil Retention Facilities; Use by
Customers; Cleaning
g� Every automobile service station, marina serving powered watercraft and retail outlet selling G
automobile lubricating oil shall, no later than June 30th, 1974, install on the premises and maintain
waste oil retention facilities, property sheltered and protected to prevent spillage, seepage or
discharge of the waste oil into storm or sanitary sewers or into the waters of the Commonwealth.
Every such station, marina and other such outlet shall be required to accept at no additional
charge, waste oil in quantities not exceeding two gallons per day from any individual With sales
receipts or other proof of purchase from such outlet. Every such station, marina and other such
outlet shall periodically remove or have removed the accumulated waste oil so as not to violate
any water pollution control or other statute or regulation. (1973, 1162.)
Questions 8 answers about hazardous waste
How do I manage paint chips?
Verify the ingredients in the paint, if possible.A Material Safety Data Sheet(MSDS)is the best
source of information. If the paint is metal-based(lead, mercury, arsenic, etc.), catch the chips in a
tarp and dispose as a hazardous waste. Observe health and safety recommendations in removing
the paint.
During application how can I minimize my paint wastes?
Wash your gun in a container to prevent water or ground contamination. Choose quality solvents
that can be re-used. To reduce the volume of waste solvent, keep two tubs, one dean and one
dirty. Wash gun in the dirty tub before the dean tub. Another option is a commercial gun washing
system.
What should I do with empty containers which have held a hazardous material?
If the contents of the container have been poured off and less than one inch of residue remains,
the container is considered"empty"and can be disposed as a solid waste. Metal containers may
be recycled.
Is spent antifreeze(ethylene glycol)a hazardous waste?
Toxicity tests on drained antifreeze are not conclusive that this is a hazardous waste. However,
antifreeze should not be disposed down the drain. Do not dispose on the ground or leave in open
containers.Antifreeze is toxic. Its sweet taste Will attract animals if left uncovered. Best disposal
options are on-site recycling and off-site recycling. For information about recycling call MassDEP
at617-292-5898.
Why can't other waste be mixed with waste oil?
Any mixture of a non-hazardous waste With a hazardous waste makes the whole a hazardous
waste and changes the composition. Mixing other waste with waste oil will therefore add to the
cost of disposing of the oil. Each type of waste should be stored in a separate container and
labeled as to its contents.
Are oily or solvent-soaked rags or wipers a hazardous waste?
No, if the rags are not saturated, e.g. if squeezed, you have no more than one drop of liquid, the
rags can go to an industrial laundry for recycling or in the regular trash.
What H we have a spill?
A spill of 10 gallons or more of oil requires you to call MassDEP immediately at 888-304-1133.
Uncontrolled oil can threaten coastlines,waterfowl, and contaminate soils and water supplies.
There is a specific"reportable quantity"for other hazardous materials. When in doubt,call
MassDEP.

BMPs for the Building, Repair, and Maintenance of Boats and Ships
Description of Pollutant Sources: Sources of pollutants at boat and shipbuilding, repair,
and maintenance at boatyards, shipyards, ports, and marinas include pressure washing,
surface preparation, paint removal, sanding, painting, engine maintenance and repairs, and
material handling and storage, if conducted outdoors. .If.feasible;-these-activities,•should�

trash. Pollutant constituents include TSS, oil and grease, organics, copper, lead, tin,
and zinc.
Pollutant Control Approach: Apply good housekeeping, preventive maintenance and cover and
1
'i
containment BMPs in and around work areas. See http: //mass.gov/dep/recycle/boatyard.htm
Applicable Operational BMPs: Applicable operational BMPs are:
* Regularly clean all accessible work, service and storage areas to remove debris, spent
sandblasting material, and any other potential stormwater pollutants.
* Sweep rather than hose debris on the dock. If hosing is unavoidable, collect and convey
the hose water to a wastewater treatment system or facility.
* Collect spent abrasives regularly and store under cover to await proper disposal.
* Dispose of greasy rags, oil filters, air filters, batteries, spent coolant, and
degreasers properly.
* Drain oil filters before disposal or recycling.
* Immediately repair or replace leaking connections, valves, pipes, hoses and equipment
that causes the contamination of stormwater.
* Use drip pans, drop cloths, tarpaulins or other protective devices in all paint mixing
and solvent operations unless carried out in impervious contained and covered areas.
* Convey sanitary sewage to pump-out stations, portable on-site pump-outs, or commercial
mobile pump-out facilities or other appropriate onshore facilities.
* Maintain automatic bilge pumps in a manner that will prevent waste material from being
pumped automatically into surface water.
* Prohibit uncontained spray painting, blasting or sanding activities over open water or
in any area where these activities may be exposed to rain, snow, snow melt or runoff.
* Do not dump or pour waste materials down floor drains, sinks, or outdoor storm drain
inlets that discharge to surface water or groundwater. Plug floor drains that are
connected to storm drains or to surface water. If necessary, install a sump that is pumped
regularly.
* Prohibit outside spray painting, blasting or sanding activities during windy conditions
that render containment ineffective.
* Do not paint and/or use spray guns on topsides or above decks.
* Immediately clean up any spillage on dock, boat or ship deck areas and dispose of the
wastes properly.
Applicable Structural Source Control BMPs:
* Use fixed platforms with appropriate plastic or tarpaulin barriers asworksurfaces and
for containment when performing work on a vessel in the water to prevent blast material or
paint overspray from contacting stormwater or the receiving water. Use of such platforms
will be kept to a minimum and at no time be used for extensive repair or construction
(anything in excess of 25 percent of the surface area of the vessel above the waterline) .
* Use plastic or tarpaulin barriers beneath the hull and between the hull and dry dock
walls to contain and collect waste and spent materials. Clean and sweep regularly to
remove debris.
* Enclose, cover, or contain blasting and sanding activities to the maximum extent
practicable to prevent abrasives, dust, and paint chips from reaching storm sewers or
2
receiving waters. Use plywood and/or plastic sheeting to cover open areas between decks
when sandblasting (scuppers, railings, freeing ports, ladders, and doorways) .
* Direct deck drainage to a collection system sump for settling and/or additional
treatment.
* Store cracked batteries in a covered secondary container.
* Apply source control BMPs provided in this chapter for other activities conducted at the
marina, boat yard, shipyard, or port facility (BMPs for Fueling at Dedicated Stations,
BMPs for Washing and Steam Cleaning Vehicle/Equipment/Building Structures, and BMPs for
Spills of Oil and Hazardous Substances) .
Recommended Additional Operational BMPs:
* Consider recycling paint, paint thinner, solvents, used oils, oil filters, pressure wash
wastewater and any other recyclable materials.
* Perform activities like paint mixing, solvent mixing, fuel mixing on shore inside or
under cover or on an impervious area with adequate containment.
BMPs for Painting/Finishing/ Coating of Vehicles/Boats/ Buildings/ Equipment
.Description of Pollutant Sources: Surface preparation and the application of paints,
I
finishes and/or coatings to vehicles, boats, buildings, and/or equipment outdoors can be
sources of pollutants.
Potential pollutants include organic compounds, oils .and greases, heavy metals, and
suspended solids.
Pollutant Control Approach: Cover and contain painting and sanding operations and apply
good housekeeping and preventive maintenance practices to prevent the contamination of
stormwater with painting oversprays and grit from sanding.
http: //www.dtsc.ca.gov/PollutionPrevention/ABP/upload/IntroAuto_Body_and
Paint.pdf
Applicable Operational BMPs:
* Train employees in the careful application of paints, finishes, and coatings to reduce
misuse and over spray. Use ground- or drop-cloths underneath outdoor painting, scraping,
sandblasting work, and properly clean and temporarily store collected debris daily.
* Do not conduct spraying, blasting, or sanding activities over open water or where wind
may blow paint into water.
* Wipe up spills with rags and other absorbent materials immediately. Do not hose down the
area to a storm drain or receiving water or conveyance ditch to receiving water.
* On marine dock areas, sweep rather than hose down debris. Collect any hose water
generated and convey to appropriate treatment and disposal.
* Use a storm drain cover, filter fabric, or similarly effective runoff control device if
dust, grit, washwater, or other pollutants may escape the work area and enter a catch
3
basin. The containment device (s) must be in place at the beginning of the workday. Collect
contaminated runoff and solids and properly dispose of such wastes before removing the
containment device (s) at the end of the workday.
* Use a ground cloth, pail, drum, drip pan, tarpaulin, or other protective device for
activities such as paint mixing and tool cleaning outside or where spills can contaminate
stormwater.
* Properly dispose of all wastes and prevent all uncontrolled releases to the air, ground
or water.
* Clean brushes and tools covered with non-water-based paints, finishes, or other
materials in a manner that allows collection of used solvents (e.g. , paint thinner or
turpentine) for recycling or proper disposal.
* Store toxic materials under cover during precipitation events and when not in use to
prevent contact with stormwater.
Applicable Structural Source Control BMPs: Enclose and/or contain all work while using a
spray gun or conducting sand blasting. Do not conduct outside spraying, grit blasting, or
sanding activities during windy conditions that render containment ineffective.
Recommended Additional Operational BMPs:
* Clean paintbrushes and tools covered with water-based paints in sinks connected to
sanitary sewers or in portable containers that can be dumped into a sanitary sewer drain.
* Recycle paint, paint thinner, solvents, pressure washwater, and any other recyclable
materials.
* Use efficient spray equipment such as electrostatic, air-atomized, high-volume/low-
pressure, or gravity feed spray equipment.
* Purchase recycled paints, paint thinner, solvents, and other products if feasible.

1. Introduction
One of the most challenging environmental issues faced by Massachusetts boatyards, yacht clubs, and
marinas today is the proper handling and disposal of pressure washwater. Contaminated washwater generated
as a result of hull cleaning and maintenance activities may contain metals,oil and grease,and organic materials
that can pollute the clean coastal waters and productive habitats on which the marina industry depends.As a
result, a variety of laws and regulations have been enacted to limit the discharge of contaminants associated
with pressure washing activities. These regulations can seem overwhelming. However, with careful planning
and site assessment work,marina operators can devise and implement appropriate pressure washing practices
that are both compliant with regulations and pose a minimal threat to coastal environments.
The Massachusetts Office of Coastal Zone Management (CZM) has developed this expanded guide on
pressure washwater management for marinas,yacht clubs, and boatyards (collectively referred to as marinas)
in coastal Massachusetts. The guide will help marina operators identify the most environmentally sensitive,
cost-effective, and practical suite of pressure washing management practices for their facility,while ensuring
that the operator is also aware of regulations relevant to pressure washing activities.While not all site-specific
issues related to pressure washing can be addressed in this guide,the following chapters lay the groundwork
for the evaluation of existing practices and theT
preliminary selection of an appropriate pressure washing h '"
system. In addition to a thorough review of this guide, ; l '��I�► a'

It. Why Manage Pressure Washwater?
There are many reasons marina operators should be concerned about pressure washwater management and
disposal.The most important are:
• Pressure washwater is contaminated: Pressure washwater can contain a variety of pollutants including
detergents, oil, and grease, as well as dissolved metals from antifouling paints. Ablative bottom paints,
which are designed to slowly slough away from the hull, are particularly prone to contaminating
washwater with toxic metals such as zinc,copper,and occasionally,lead. In addition, solids suspended in
the washwater, such as paint chips and organic materials, can pollute ground and surface water and must
be handled properly. While the type and level of contaminants will vary with the type and age of boats
being washed,it is never okay to discharge washwater without a permit(see below).
• Discharging without a permit is illegal: Boat washwater is classified
as an industrial waste under state regulations and as process wastewater
under the federal Clean Water Act. Washwater cannot be discharged _
without a permit. Effective management is important to protect the
environment, but also to avoid potential fines and negative publicity
associated with non-compliance.
• It will harm your bay or estuary: As outlined in Section 2.2 of the
Manachusetts Clean Manna Guide, the discharge of pollutants from boat maintenance activities can have
severe and long-term impacts on the aquatic environment. Solids and dissolved metals contained in the
pressure washwater can be toxic to marine life. In addition, improperly managed pressure washing
operations can result in unsightly plumes that discolor natural waterways and stain natural features with
bottom paint.
111. Fundamentals of Pressure Washwater
Management
The simplest way to manage pressure washwater is to eliminate pressure washing activities altogether.
However, if hull maintenance remains an important component of your business, you must collect the
pressure washwater for proper disposal or recycling. Some key fundamentals of pressure washwater
management include:
• Collect all pressure washwater. Your facility must prevent washwater from entering coastal waters or
the ground and causing environmental damage. It is illegal to discharge any pressure washwater to the
ground,sewer,or coastal waters without a permit,and discharge to a septic system is always prohibited.
A Guide to Selecting Pressure Washing Management Practices and Technologies - 2 -
• Minimize wastewater generation: The less water used for pressure washing, the less costly it is to
collect, treat, and dispose of the wastewater. Using high pressure, low volume cleaning systems can
maximize cleaning power while reducing washwater generation. Recycling the washwater, as outlined in
Section IV and V of this guide, can save money as well. In addition, storing less washwater at your
business will minimize the negative impacts an accidental discharge could have on the surrounding
coastal environment.
• Segregate washwater from stormwater.Pressure washwater should never be discharged to stormwater
collection systems and outfalls,including on-site catch basins,culverts,and drainage swales. Co-mingling
(combining) stormwater discharges with non-stormwater sources is prohibited by the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency(EPA) Stormwater Multi Sector General Permit—a permit required by
most facilities. (See Section 4.12 of the Marrachusetts Clean Manna Guide.)
• Keep detergents,oils,grease, and solids out of the waste stream:Avoid using detergents and soaps
when pressure washing. Use of detergents makes it significantly more difficult and costly to treat the
washwater for disposal or recycling. Likewise, bilge waste and other sources of oils or grease should be
collected and stored separately so that they do not further contaminate the washwater. Washwater
contaminated by oils or grease must be managed as hazardous waste.
• Switch to non-ablative paints: By design, ablative paints peel away from the hulls of boats and are
more likely than "hard" paints to contaminate washwater. Use of non-ablative paints may reduce the
amount of washwater treatment required before disposal or reuse.
• Identify the final destination and disposal methods of washwater and solids: It is important to
know how washwater and residual solids will be removed from your marina before pressure washing
occurs. Marina operators must ensure that pressure washwater and residual solids are properly handled
and disposed of once they leave the marina.
IV. Disposal of Pressure Washwater and Solid
Residuals
"I have always discharged my washwater to the ground or waterways.Why can I no longer do this?"This is a
common question posed by marina operators who discharge pressure washwater to the ground, stormwater
drains, septic systems, sewer connections,or directly to waterways. Regulations regarding pressure washwater
have been in place for over 30 years. Some common discharge practices are specifically prohibited, while
others require permitting from EPA, the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection
(MassDEP),and/or local sewer authorities.The following pages describe a variety of washwater handling and
discharge options that are available to marina operators.
A Guide to Selecting Pressure Washing Management Practices and Technologies -3-
Recycling
Recycling and reuse of pressure washwater is a viable option for eliminating the
discharge of wastewater. Advantages of recycling include conserving clean water
O
and minimizing the cost of pressure washwater disposal.Although the washwater a
will require treatment to remove solids, metals, and other contaminants before reuse, recycling can be
an effective way to manage washwater and minimize waste. See Page 9 of this guide for more
information on recycling options.
Collection for Off-Site Shipment
A simple option for washwater disposal is to collect the water in a holding tank for off-site shipment.
This option may be very effective for small facilities with limited pressure washing activities. Marinas
must follow Massachusetts regulations regarding the design and operation of industrial wastewater
holding tanks and the shipment of the waste.All industrial wastewater holding tanks must be certified
with MassDEP (see Page 11 in this guide for more details on holding tanks), and records of the
volume of washwater generated as well as the transporter's information must be maintained.
If your marina generates and collects pressure washwater for off-site shipment, the wastewater must
be analyzed to determine the appropriate disposal method. For typical pressure washwater, this
analysis should minimally include a test for hazardous metals (arsenic, barium, cadmium, chromium,
lead, mercury, selenium, and silver) and petroleum hydrocarbons (benzene). Check with your hauler
for detailed analytical standards. Depending on the level of contaminants, collected wastewater can
be taken away by a standard septic hauler or, if necessary, a licensed hazardous waste hauler. Note
that if you are connected to a sanitary sewer,and the local waste treatment plant is willing to take the
waste, you must dispose of wastewater through the sewer system (see below). See Section VI for
more information on identifying appropriate disposal options.
Keep in mind that the generator of the waste (the marina) is responsible for the proper disposal of
waste products no matter who is hauling them away. Make sure you know whether your waste is
considered hazardous, as well as the types of materials your hauler is licensed to transport before you
finalize your disposal plan. Additional information regarding the hazardous waste regulations is
presented in Section 4.10 of the Ma.rachusetts Clean Marina Guide.
Discharge to Sewer
Another pressure washwater disposal option is to discharge wastewater to a sanitary sewer. To
determine whether this is a viable option, marina operators must contact their local sewer authority
and obtain discharge standards and potential permit requirements. Depending on the volume and
characteristics of the discharge MassDEP may also require the marina to obtain a connection and
A Guide to Selecting Pressure Washing Management Practices and Technologies -4 -
discharge permit The local sewer authority will help you make this determination. Permits will likely
require periodic monitoring of the discharge in order to ensure that treatment standards are being
met These standards are typically set forth in a local sewer ordinance or an industrial pre-treatment
program.Because the waste will receive additional treatment at the local sewage plant,these standards
are often less restrictive than those set by the EPA for a direct discharge to surface waters.
To meet permit conditions, marinas will likely have to treat washwater before discharging, including
removal of large solids that may clog the sewer system. If advanced treatment is required, the
treatment system may need to be graded by MassDEP, and marina staff members designated to
operate the treatment facility will likely need to be certified by the state. Depending on the type and
level of treatment necessary,additional requirements regarding operator training, staffing,monitoring,
sludge control,and safety may apply. (See Table 1 on page 13 for more information on local and state
sewer authority discharge requirements.)
Discharge to Surface Water(Not Recommended)
Discharge of pressure washwater to a river, estuary,or other surface water body requires a number of
state, federal, and often, local permits. Surface water discharge of washwater is regulated by EPA
under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES). MassDEP must also certify
that the discharge of wastewater does not violate state water quality standards.The permitting process
can be complex, and the permits require marinas to meet strict discharge limits that can only be
achieved by installing costly treatment systems, implementing extensive discharge testing programs,
and utilizing certified wastewater operators. Discharging to surface water is generally not considered
practical for marinas.
Discharge to Groundwater(Not Recommended)
Discharging washwater directly to the ground or into dry wells also requires a permit,and discharging
washwater to a septic system is prohibited. MassDEP has an established program to oversee pollutant
discharges to groundwater in Massachusetts.Facilities must meet specific groundwater quality
standards set by the program and,when necessary,install treatment systems to meet these standards.
Much like the discharge of washwater to surface waters,the permitting process for discharging to
groundwater can be complex. Sufficient treatment levels will require a certified wastewater operator
and the treatment goals are very stringent and costly.Discharging to groundwater is generally not
considered feasible for marinas.
A Guide to Selecting Pressure Washing Management Practices and Technologies -5-
Disposal of Solids
Pressure washing operations will produce solids (residuals) such as paint chips, biological materials,
and other waste. These materials can be separated from the washwater, dried, and disposed of as
regular solid waste,provided that they meet the following three criteria:
1) The residuals are tested and determined to be non-hazardous waste. For boat washing residuals,
toxic metals or oils and grease in the solids may make them hazardous. The test that determines
whether residuals are hazardous is called a Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP). A
TCLP test determines if any hazardous materials will leach out of the solids if they are disposed
of in a landfill.Minimally,a representative sample of the residual solids should be analyzed for the
following (numbers in parentheses indicate hazardous waste thresholds in parts per million):
arsenic (5.0), barium (100.0), cadmium (1.0), chromium (5.0), lead (5.0), mercury (0.2), selenium
(1.0), and silver (5.0); and the petroleum hydrocarbon constituent benzene (0.5). If testing finds
that any of these constituents are above the limit, then the batch of residual is considered
hazardous and must be disposed of as such.
2) The boat washing residuals are dewatered (dried) such that they will pass a paint filter test. This
test is a simple procedure where residuals are placed within a paint filter (available at any paint
store) for five minutes. If any liquids drip through the filter during this period,the residuals must
be further dewatered and retested for dryness. For more information see the specifications for
EPA Method 9095A: Paint Filter Liquids Test at www.epa.gov/sw-846/pdfs/9095b.pdf.
3) The boat washing residuals are mixed with additional,non-hazardous, solid waste at a ratio of 1 to
3 prior to disposal. For example, 1 gallon of solid boat washing residuals could be mixed with 3
gallons of sawdust and disposed of in a dumpster (provided that conditions one and two have
been met).
Any chemicals, filters, or other waste associated with pressure washing activities or treatment
processes must also meet the above criteria. Generally, boat washing residuals are not found to be
hazardous, though, in some cases, they have been shown to contain elevated levels of heavy metals
such as lead. Testing of boat washing residuals at least once during the pressure washing season is
recommended to determine whether they contain any hazardous waste. Keep in mind, however, that
you are always responsible for the proper disposal of your waste, so if you are unsure about the
contents of your boat washing residuals,test them! Test solid waste following any changes in pressure
washing practices, such as the addition of new treatment chemicals or the washing of boat hulls
treated with new types of bottom paints.
A Guide to Selecting Pressure Washing Management Practices and Technologies - 6-
Based on the options and environmental regulations outlined above, the best methods for the handling and
disposal of pressure washwater at a marina include: 1) eliminating pressure washing activities 2) on-site
recycling 3) on-site containment for off-site shipment,or 4) on-site treatment for discharge to sewer.Marinas
should take advantage of the resources outlined in Section VII of this guide, contact their local sewer
authority, and obtain assistance from CZM or a qualified environmental consultant to obtain information on
the latest requirements and regulations.
V. Key Elements of a Pressure Washwater
Management System
Clearly, managing pressure washwater requires careful planning. Marina operators need to be aware of
technologies available for the collection, treatment, and disposal of washwater. This section outlines typical
system components for pressure washwater collection and treatment, as well as criteria that can be used to
select an appropriate system.Typical system components are summarized below.
Washwater Collection Pad
All pressure washwater that comes into contact with a boat
hull is considered industrial waste or process wastewater and
must be collected. The collection system should be designed
so that washwater and overspray are collected and kept '
separate from stormwater, surface water, and groundwater.
Marinas should also control the types of pollutants that may
enter the washwater by implementing Best Management -
Practices (BMPs) discussed throughout the Marrachuretts Clean
Marina Guide. Example BMPs include preventing bilge water from entering the collection system,
collecting larger solids such as paint chips and marine growth,and preventing boat maintenance work
on the collection pads to reduce the risk of accidental spills and unwanted contamination of the
collection system.
The design of collection systems will vary greatly depending on the size and layout of the marina, the
size and number of boats washed, and pressure washing practices. Collection pads are typically
constructed of concrete, asphalt, or for a temporary washing station, a removable rubber or plastic
membrane. The washwater generated is collected and conveyed to a holding tank or treatment area.
Vertical aprons or curtains can be used to help direct overspray to the collection area.The wash pad is
typically sloped so that the washwater drains by gravity into a trench drain or a central sump located
A Guide to Selecting Pressure Washing Management Practices and Technologies -7 -
below the pad. Beams may be installed on one or more sides to help direct or contain the washwater
flow.
It is important to prevent larger solids from entering the drain or sump. This can be achieved by
regularly sweeping dry solids and residue from the collection pad prior to pressure washing or by
installing filters or screens at the inlets to the collection drain or trench. Prior to pressure washing,
loose debris can be manually removed from the hull to avoid clogging of the collection trench or
sump. Reducing the quantity of water used is also important, and can be achieved by using a high
pressure/low volume power washer.
It is also critical to design a system that keeps the washwater completely separate from stormwater.
Once stormwater comes into contact with pressure washwater, the waste stream is considered a
potentially contaminated process wastewater and must be handled as such. Segregation of the wastes
can be achieved by: 1) covering the collection grate when the pad is not in use and providing a means
to pump out or drain accumulated stormwater,2) covering the collection pad with temporary tenting
or permanent roofing, or 3) installing a bypass valve that directs stormwater to the storm drainage
system or stormwater outfall. The bypass valve should be opened only when the collection pad is not
in use,and completely free of pressure washing residue.
Wash pads may include the following components:
• Concrete pad situated near an existing travel lift that is equipped with a center trench drain.
Boats and travel lifts can be extremely heavy, so the wash pads must be designed to handle this
weight.
• Temporary curtains surrounding the boat washing area that direct overspray to the wash pad for
treatment.
• Catch basin structure within paved areas that can be isolated from the stormwater system via
diversion
valves that direct washwater to a collectionlease Note: The use of
Point. P' bypass
valves requires strict adherence to proper operating procedures. Operators must ensure proper
containment of pollutants,including complete removal of all washwater and solids prior to the
use of the drainage structure for stormwater collection and discharge. Failure to segregate
stormwater and pressure washwater may result in significant penalties.)
• Temporary impervious groundcovers, such as heavy rubber membranes, equipped with a center
or down gradient sump and pump for the removal of washwater. (These temporary wash pads
can be used if space is at a premium and pressure washing activities are limited,or in cases where
a facility is planning,but has not yet constructed,a permanent wash pad.)
A Guide to Selecting Pressure Washing Management Practices and Technologies - S-
• Piping system (including any necessary pumps) to transfer washwater to settling chambers,
treatment systems,recycling systems,and/or sewer discharge connections.
• Optional piping to provide flexibility for expansion or change-over from sewer discharge to
closed-loop recirculation/recycling.
Note that if the wash pad is constructed within 100 feet of a wetland or water body, a Notice of
Intent must be filed with the local Conservation Commission to ensure that the construction process
and the pad itself conform to regulations associated with the Massachusetts Wetland Protection Act
and relevant local by-laws or ordinances (http://www.mass.gov/dep/water/resources/protwet.htin).
Recycling and On-site Treatment Systems
A variety of systems are available to treat pressure washwater so that it can be discharged to the sewer
or reused in the pressure washing process.For discharge to the sewer,the goal is to remove pollutants
so that the discharge meets the limits required by the sewer discharge permit For a recycling system,
the goal is to remove pollutants so that the recycled water can effectively dean the hulls and not clog
the pressure washing system.Some additional treatment for organics may be required to control odors
that can build up in the recycled water and to protect pressure wash operators from harmful dissolved
contaminants. An advantage of using a recycling system is that it reduces the total volume of water
needed for pressure washing and minimises the volume of waste that would need to be disposed of
off-site'and/or discharged to the sewer. For either option, the overall purpose of the treatment is to
reduce solids,heavy metals,oils,and grease from the pressure washwater.
Many treatment systems,including those for both recycling and discharge to sewer,may incorporate a
variety of processes and technologies,some of which are listed below:
• Oil and grit removal: For washwater with suspended solids and/or oil, a combination grit
chamber and oil trap can be used.This type of system is commonly required by municipalities as
one component of a pretreatment system for discharges to sanitary sewers. The grit chamber/oil
trap is typically an underground concrete tank or sump with baffles that allows larger particulates
such as grit,marine growth, and paint chips to settle to the tank bottom while oils or sheen float
to the tank top.The accumulated solids and oils are periodically analyzed and removed for off-site
disposal. After grit and oil are removed, the washwater can be sent to subsequent advanced
treatment systems to remove dissolved metals and other pollutants,or discharged to the sewer(if
it meets discharge standards).Note that grit removal alone may not meet specific discharge limits
established by the receiving wastewater treatment facility.
• Electro-coagulation: Electro-coagulation is a technology that neutralizes charged particles in
solution (including metals, detergents, and petroleum) so they can be settled or filtered from
A Guide to Selecting Pressure Washing Management Practices and Technologies -9 -
washwater. Package systems that are easy to operate and maintain are available from a variety of
vendors. The advantage of electro-coagulation is that there are typically no filters or separation
chemicals required, so daily maintenance is not typically needed. Many types of contaminants,
such as emulsified oil and grease, metals, and suspended solids can be removed simultaneously
from washwater through this process.
• Chemical treatment: Chemical treatment can be used to remove emulsified oil and grease, small
particles, and metals. Chemical treatment requires the periodic addition of compounds designed
to settle undesirable materials out of the wastewater and is an excellent way to remove
particulates. However, its success relies on maintaining specific pH levels and temperatures and
proper chemical dosing. For optimal performance, the equipment must be well maintained and
operators must be properly trained.
• Mechanical filtration: Mechanical filtration can be used to remove solid particles of varying sizes
from washwater as well as emulsified oil,grease, and metals. Mechanical filtration encompasses a
variety of technologies including reverse osmosis, ultrafiltration, and microfiltration. Generally
speaking, technologies that remove the smallest particles (and molecules) are more costly and
maintenance intensive.Pretreatment to remove larger organic and solid particles may be required,
and careful system operation and maintenance is necessary to prolong the fife of the filters.
Note that many if not most treatment systems will include a combination of these technologies. For
example, a system might use an oil/grit separator to settle large particles, chemical treatment to
consolidate fine particles and dissolved metals, and mechanical filtration to remove the remaining
solid waste.As with any technology, effective primary treatment to remove large solids such as paint
chips and marine growth will provide for more successful treatment and fewer operation and
maintenance problems.
Holding Tanks
The best option for a small marina may be collection, storage, and off-site disposal of washwater.
Holding tanks may be either above or below ground. Tanks should be sized to accommodate the
anticipated washwater volume and designed to allow for routine pump-out by a vacuum truck.
Industrial wastewater holding tanks must be certified by MassDEP, and there are specific design and
operation criteria that must be followed. A fact sheet on industrial wastewater holding tanks can be
found at www.mass.gov/dep/water/laws/factsht.httn.
Employee Training
Employee training is an important component of any collection or treatment system. The practices
recommended here will likely require a change in your marina operations. Staff should be trained to
A Guide to Selecting Pressure Washing Management Practices and Technologies -10-
conduct pressure washing operations in a new way to ensure that pollutants do not enter coastal
waters, the ground,or any stormwater system. If you choose to install a treatment system, your staff
should be trained by the system manufacturer on the proper operation and maintenance protocol.
This training should occur on an annual basis and for any new staff.
VI, System Selection
Selection of an appropriate pressure washwater management system requires careful planning. Marina
operators must have a basic understanding of the technologies available for managing wastewater, as well as
the constraints and needs of their marina. Selection of an appropriate pressure washwater management
system should be based on:
• Quantity and quality of washwater generated.
• Space and surface conditions of the boat washing area.
• Availability of trained staff.
• Access to a sewer connection.
• Discharge permit conditions.
• Water conservation objectives.
• Cost and frequency of operation and maintenance.
As outlined in Section IV of this guide, the best options for pressure washwater management include:
1) eliminating pressure washing activities 2) on-site recycling 3) on-site containment for off-site shipment,or
4) on-site treatment for discharge to sewer. The selection and design of a pressure washing system should
always begin with the collection of site-specific information and an evaluation of all pressure washing options,
as outlined below.
Doing Your Homework
An essential first step in determining a marina's best washwater management option is the collection
of site-specific information. This information can be used to help marina operators determine the
most appropriate and cost-effective option. Table 1: Doing your homework, on Page 13 outlines the
key pieces of information a marina operator will need to gather before selecting a pressure washing
system.
Determining Feasibility and Making a Decision
Once site-specific information is gathered,the marina operator can determine the feasibility of various
washwater management options. The feasibility of each washwater management option is largely
A Guide to Selecting Pressure Washing Management Practices and Technologies -11 -
dependent on cost,which may include permitting,design,equipment,monitoring,waste disposal,and
staffing. Before selecting the best option for your marina, a limited feasibility analysis should be
conducted that evaluates the pros and cons of each option,including the associated costs.Table 2,on
Page 15 summarizes the major system components, cost factors, and pros and cons of the various
pressure washwater management options. To assist in the final decision-making process, additional
resources are included at the end of this guide. In addition,a qualified contractor or consultant can be
very helpful in selecting and designing pressure washing systems.

VII. Case Examples
Massachusetts marinas have addressed pressure washing management issues in a variety of ways.The following
are examples of several approaches to handling pressure washwater that minimize or eliminate pressure
washwater discharge and fully comply with state,federal,and local regulations.
Treatment and Discharge to Sewer- Cape Yachts, Dartmouth, MA
y As part of the recent relocation of Cape Yachts to Dartmouth, they
a- installed a pressure washwater collection and treatments stem that
� w•,w � � - Y
r y discharges to the local sewer. Cape Yachts estimates that approximately
350 boats will be washed per season, generating about 78,000 gallons of
de
washwater per year. The treatment system includes a reinforced concrete
pad designed and sized to handle heavy boats. The pad contains a center
trench drain for collection of the washwater. Large particles, paint chips,
and biological growth settle on the wash pad or in the trench drain.The trench drain flows into a grit chamber
for settling of solids. Washwater then discharges to the sewer. After pressure washing is complete and the
wash pad and trench drain are completely cleaned, a diversion chamber and valve is used to divert rainfall to
the stotmwater system. The operation of this system does not require a Graded Wastewater Operator because
the only treatment being performed is grit chamber settling. This case example demonstrates the simplest
scenario for a system that discharges to a local sewer. Although not currently requested of this marina, it is
likely that a discharge monitoring program would be established for similar discharges to a local sewer. To
address estimated future demand, the system is equipped with piping that will allow for the installation of a
recycling system.Approximate costs are as follows:
Treatment System Cost NA
New Wash Pad $25,000
Settling Tanks,Manholes $12,000
Design $15,000
Operation and Maintenance Negligible
Total $52,000

Closed Loop Recycling -Arey's Pond Boatyard, Orleans, MA
Arey's Pond Boatyard installed a closed-loop recycling washwater system at its
jinland storage facility. Arey's Pond Boatyard washes about 120 small boats annually
and the marina staff estimates that this generates about 3,750 gallons of washwater
per year,most of which is recycled. This system allows Arey's Pond to move much
r
a
of its boat washing inland, away from the water. The system includes a new wash
f pad with a settling chamber for collection of the raw washwater. Large particles,
r
Cpaint chips, and biological growth settle on the wash pad or in the chamber.
Washwater then flows into a large MassDEP-certified double-walled undetground
tank,where smaller solids settle out of suspension.Washwater is then transferred to the treatment system.The
system,manufactured by RGF Environmental Systems,Inc.,is a physical treatment system.Wastewater passes
through multiple filters and an ultraviolet(UV) light/ozone chamber for odor control.Treated water then goes
back out to the pressure washer. When the pressure washer is not in use, the recycled water is recirculated
through the UV/ozone chamber for additional odor control.
This system is a closed-loop recycling system, and therefore requires no discharge permits. A licensed hauler
must periodically remove residual washwater with high pollutant concentrations.
Approximate costs are as follows:
Treatment System Cost $14,400
New Wash pads $4,000
Settling Tanks $8,500
Plumbing&Electrical $4,000
Engineering $5,775
Operation and Maintenance $500 to$1,000/yr(filters,sampling,minor repairs)
Total $37,675
Closed Loop Recycling - Concordia Boatyard, Dartmouth, MA
Concordia Boatyard installed a temporary closed-loop recycling
' F - washwater system prior to their proposed marina relocation. This case
.m
example demonstrates that economical solutions are available for
Washwater management. Concordia washes about 250 boats per season
and the marina staff estimates that this generates about 12,000 gallons

of washwater per year,most of which is recycled. The system included a temporary collection pad constructed
of a heavy rubber membrane equipped with a center sump to collect washwater. Collected washwater was
transferred through an on-site treatment system to remove solids, oil, and grease. No storage tanks were
installed as washwater was directly transferred to the treatment system and back to the power washer.As with
the previous example, this system was a closed-loop recycling system, and therefore required no discharge
permits.Approximate costs were as follows:
Treatment System Cost $10,000
New Wash Pads/Membranes $2,500
Settling Tanks NA
Plumbing&Electrical NA
Engineering $5,000
Operation and Maintenance $500/yr(estimated)
Total $18,000
Closed Loop Recycling - Merri-Mar Yacht Basin, Newburyport, MA
In 2007,the Merri-Mar Yacht Basin installed a new collection apron and
closed-loop recycling treatment system, which will be used to wash
r'r S about 130-150 boats per year,with an average length of 35 feet.
"mix-
_ a
Merri-Mar's system, designed and manufactured by EBI Consulting
(EBI), employs chemical and physical treatment solutions and includes:
a concrete wash pad to collect washwater, a chemical reactor tank, i
reusable filter media, and a treated water collection tank The wash pad includes a trench drain designed to
direct wastewater and solids to a small collection sump where they are automatically transferred to the
treatment system. At the end of each day, both the collection apron and trench are pressure washed so that
solids are transferred to the sump to be treated and filtered. Larger solids can be removed directly from the
trench. The collection sump is equipped with a removable plug that is installed prior to boat washing and is
removed after the trench and sump have been cleaned. This ensures that stormwater is not collected, which
would increase treatment costs,and that no pressure washwater is discharged to the stormwater system.
This is a batch treatment system. Once 450-500 gallons (13-15 boats) of wastewater have been collected, a
treatment chemical is added,which coagulates solids in the washwater, allowing them to settle.The solution is
mixed for 10-15 minutes and allowed to settle for an additional 15 minutes. The treated wastewater is then

pumped through a series of filter cloths (20-30 minutes) and collected in a holding tank for reuse as pressure
washwater.
The filter chamber cloths are reusable with a life expectancy of 4-5 years.The solids that are recovered are 25-
35 percent solid by volume with no free liquid and will pass a paint filter test. In 2007, Mem-Mar generated
enough filtered solids to fill '/4 of a 55 gallon drum. Solids were tested and determined to be disposable as a
non-regulated solid waste material.
The treated washwater is dear and solids free, and it is aerated to , �y¢
--
control odor and evaporate organic compounds.A pump continuously
recirculates the treated water until needed by the pressure washer. No M
delays in the pressure washing operations were reported during the fall
2007 hauling season. Finally, the system is closed-loop and does not -> -
require any discharge permits or licensed operators to manage the
system.
Approximate costs are as follows:
Treatment System Including Wash Pad $60,000
Annual Chemical $400

To:Larry@Robertie.com
Larry,
Attached are the proposals we discussed-one for concrete,one for asphalt.
I spent some time value engineering with our concrete/asphalt finishers and have come to the following conclusions. In fad,
we are designing and building a floor for a specialized exterior commercial/industrial application,we are not building a short
section of roadway for high weight vehicles. To have reasonable confidence designing an asphalt washdown I needed to
add work tasks which make the asphalt application a larger scope of work, increases the number of materials used and
actually cost more than the concrete design.
The trench drain and grate as well as associated piping should be encased in concrete. Asphalt is not a good choice of
material to hold the drain in place and disperse any loads applied to it.Also,the piping would need to be steel or concrete(not
great choices considering other available materials)or it would also need to be encased in concrete to protect it from the hot
asphalt during installation. Forming and pouring concrete around the trench drain in the asphalt application is an additional
cost not necessary in the concrete application. Additionally,this concrete encasement would then be butting against the
asphalt causing a seam between dissimiliar materials. Ultimately a space will develop along this interface allowing water and
dirt to remained trap and become a freeze/thaw cycle concern.
Any hydrocarbons,fuel,oil, grease, etc will dissolve the tar over time.As well any detergents/cleaners/removers will also
impact the asphalt. Ultimately,this will allow the stones to dislodge. Concrete is essentially unaffected by these materials.
When the travel lift changes direction,the wheels cause a twisting force to the surface with a tendency to dislodge the
asphalt. This application is different from roadways where normally the vehicle is rolling at a reasonable speed when the
vehicle changes direction. In the instance of the travel lift it will be traveling very slowly or even stationary causing greater
twisting force to the asphalt.
The sub grade material is super critical for structural asphalt applications,even more so than in concrete applications.
Crushed stone or other engineered sub grade material should be used for a base. I am not comfortable using only what is
currently on site for the asphalt application.
Since the asphalt will need to be several inches thick to accomadate loads applied by the lift's wheels,a larger vibratory roller
as used on highways rather than a smaller unit like those used for residential driveway construction will be necessary to
compact it sufficiently and achieve maximum density.
The concrete application will have minimum concrete thickness of 8"where the least amount of wheel traffic and weight is
expected. Both long sides of the washdown will be haunched and have a minimum of 12"of concrete five feet in from both
sides. This is where most of the wheel traffic and weight is expected and also where the crane's wheels will remain
stationary for long periods of time.The entire concrete pad will be reinforced with a#5 steel rebar(1/2'dia.)mat 12"on
center in both the longitudinal and transverse direction. The wheel'haunches'where the concrete is 12"thick will have an
additional#5 rebar mat 12"on center. The concrete will be 4000 psi—%"stone.
The concrete will also contain a fiber mesh mixed-in which is excellent for increasing strength, reducing cracking and is well
suited to marine/saltwater applications.
The T by 8"trench drain will be made of precast polyresin concrete,and will be covered by a removable cast iron grate. Both
the frame and grate have an H-20 rating(sufficient for highway application). Drain piping from the grate will also be rated
H-20 and encased in concrete.The piping will be a"straight shot'from the discharge of the trench drain to edge of concrete
pad so there will be no elbows or pipe joints under the concrete.
Both of the concrete pad's long sides will have a 3" high curb of concrete to prevent water run off and prevent fires from
leaving concrete pad.
The concrete surface will have a 2-3%pitch to the trench drain from all four sides. The concrete finish will be lightly broomed
to improve traction for feet when it is wet.The broom finish will be done in the direction of waterflow to allow water to the
drain.
The concrete will poured in one application to achieve a monolithic pour with no seams or dry joints.
I have completed a sketch detailing the cross section of the concrete pad; however, I won't have access to a scanner until

Monday. I'll send it then.
For the concrete washdown I assumed the excess material excavated from the hole can remain on site. We will spread it
and grade it for PCYC no additional charge. If the excess material must be removed it will cost$350. 1 also assumed the
material on site is suitable for the sub-grade material. If it is unsuitable,crushed stone will be an additional$250.00.
For the asphalt washdown, again I assumed the excess material will remain on site or$350 to remove it.
I see your meeting is for Tuesday at 6:OOpm. I will make myself available by cell phone Tuesday evening in the event anyone
on the board has questions. 978-882-2828 Also please feel free to call me this weekend if you have any questions. Lastly,
if you need me to, I will be happy to come by and talk with others.

Cyclonic Filtration Solutions for EPA Compliant Boat Washing
The EPA has identified contaminates from hull pressure cleaning to be a major source of
Wonpoint sourceV.ollution". Pressure washing boat bottoms to remove marine organisms removes
antifouling paint including dissolved metals in concentrations harmful to the marine environment.
Even in small concentrations, untreated pressure washing wastewater runoff from a wash pad can
adversely impact water quality. Additionally, sediments contaminated with copper, lead, zinc and
other metals can cause problems related to dredged material disposal. Pollutants dissolved in
pressure washing wastewater can potentially pollute soil and ground water in upland areas.
Encyclon's patented recycling system offers a real solution for controlling wash pad run-off during
boat pressure washing.
Marina Pressure Washer Water Recycling
Most clean marina initiatives have addressed this problem,
however very few real solutions are offered. The contaminates
found in anti-fouling paint present a real problem for marina
1 operators, and many of the EPA's recommended solutions for
F managing this waste water may present future compliance issues.
The EPA recommends several ways of dealing with pressure wash
runoff, but the only real solution is to eliminate the runoff of
x contaminated water.
Closed-loop recycle systems for power wash units are the best way
to ensure EPA compliance for nonpoint source pollution. Any
other wash down system that allows contaminated water to enter
the watershed allows for the possibility of future compliance
issues.
The three most common methods for handing power wash run-off
just dont make sense. The following environmentally risky
practices are often in use today at some Marinas:
• The discharge of recycled or treated wash water in to a municipal sewer system is a
dangerous practice. Even if the runoff is properly treated and filtered before discharge, the
quality will be closely monitored. Accidental discharge of water above the specified toxicity
levels could result in hefty fines, and negative publicity.
ittp://www.cleanmarinapressurewash.com/ Page 1 of
can Marina Pressure Washer Wa[er.Rewcling 12/26/08 12:23 PM
• The diversion of runoff to a permeable surface is often recommended. This is the most
dangerous practice of all. The current focus is to keep the runoff out of the water, however
in most other industries the EPA has focused on soil quality. If a facility were to divert the
runoff into a holding area then spread it into the grass, they face the potential for a future
clean-up of the 'contaminated soil." A contaminated soil clean-up can cost hundreds of
thousands of dollars, and render property values worthless.
• The common method of allowing the runoff to flow back into the water is increasingly
under attack. If the runoff was filtered and treated before being discharged into the water,
compliance issues would be closely monitored. System failures create the possibility of
hefty fines.
Advantages to Encyclon Filtration for Pressure Water Recycling
Iigh Efficiency
?ncyelon Cyclonic Filtration Systems purify and remove particulate contaminates down to 5
iierons or .00019 inches. The cone has a 98%efficacy rating, however since the water is recycled
undreds of times the 98% efficacy is multiplied endlessly. The Systems will remove most
articles (swarf) that do not float.
arrests Bacteria Growth
;ncyclon cyclones continuously aerate the coolant during filtration to check anaerobic bacterial
rowth. The system prevents most water odor problems caused by bacteria without using
xpensive biocides and chemicals. Water is continuously recycled at a high 7:1 ratio for the 20
pm Encyclon filtration units and a typical 3 gpm pressure washer.
Iodular Design
wilding block design lets you customize the Encyclon Cyclonic Filtration System for your
pplication. Our systems are designed to work with your wash pad and tank requirements.
Asy To Install
ncyclon self prime systems are easy to install.The unit is completely assembled and tested
efore shipping. You connect the water feed and return lines from your system then just plug your
nit into a standard marine dockside electrical connection using the supplied power cord and turn
ie switch on.
imple to Service with Low Maintenance
lost models have just one moving partthe cyclone pump..N4aintenance costs are kept at a
unimum:There are hundreds of similar systems re-cycling water from truck washes with
irtually no downtime. The low cost long life ceramic cones are simply unscrewed to replace. The
istem cleans itself as it runs. There is no expensive paper or sand filter media to change because
one is used with Encyclon systems. The laborious process of shoveling a settlement tank is gone,

Handling Marina Wastewater Discharge 2
Boat Pressure Washing
Handling Marina Wastewater Discharge
Pressure washing of boat bottoms to remove marine organisms produces contaminated
wastewater. Particles from antifouling paints contain heavy metals in concentrations that
are harmful to the marine environment.
Wastewater that drains to surface waters is considered
an illegal discharge under the Federal Clean Water
Act. Even small amounts of untreated pressure
washing wastewaters can adversely impact water t
quality and accumulate in bottom sediments. Toxic 1
residues from antifouling bottom paints can result in -
future problems and expenses for marina operators
when faced with dredging contaminated sediments
and their disposal.
Clean Marina programs are designed to eliminate the runoff of contaminated water to the
surface water. Marinas should also not direct pressure-washing wastewater runoff over
land to a permeable surface as it may contaminate groundwater and soil. This potential
violation of EPA regulations may result in fines and require a future costly clear-up of
the contaminated soil.
Contaminants in Pressure-washing Wastewater
Pressure-washing wastewater includes dirt, algae, barnacles, salts, and paint particles.
The paint particles are the source of heavy metals. About 90% of the heavy metals;
copper, lead, tin, zinc, and arsenic are solid particles that are not dissolved. Typical
untreated pressure-washing wastewater samples contain copper levels in the 50 to 190
mg/1 range, while typical municipal sewer standards limit copper concentrations to the
2.4 to 8 mg/I range. The allowed copper concentration in USA waterways is only 0.006
mg/I which makes even treated wash water discharges virtually impossible.
The suspended contaminants are small particles less than 50 microns (0.0004 inch)that
show in the turbidity (or cloudiness) of the pressure-washing wastewater sample. These
solids resist rapid settling and can plug cartridge or bag filters in a few minutes. Oil is
usually not present in pressure-washing wastewater unless spilled or released from bilge
water. The organic material in pressure-washing wastewater decays rapidly and under
warm conditions bacterial growth and odors can be expected.

Recycling is the best option for handling Pressure Washer Wastewater
It's easy to reach the same conclusion as the NJ advisory committee - installing a closed
loop water recycling system is the most cost efficient and best option for most marina
facilities. It is not a surprising choice since most industrial applications
have been recycling manufacturing fluids for years, adding make up fluid
for loses due to evaporation, and usually only changing fluids annually.
The cost of disposal by truck or sewer, with permits, fluid treatment, and
water are just too high not to recycle.
Handling Marina Wastewater Discharge 5
Pressure Washing Recycling Capacity Requirements
Most pressure washers use about 3.5 gpm at pressures Boat Time Water
around 2,500 PSI. Assume that it takes about 15 Length Used Used
minutes to wash a 20 foot boat and about 1 minute for 20 ft 15 min 53 gal
each additional foot of boat length. The pressure 25 ft 20 min 70 gal
washer water usage for a typical boat is shown this 30 ft 25 min 88 gal
chart 35 ft 30 min 105 gal
40 ft 1 35 min 1 123 gal
If a marina washes 200 boats averaging 30 feet,by the end
of the season they can expect to use 17,600 gallons of
water. Marinas can expect about 10 to 15% of the water
used to be lost to evaporation, so make-up water will need
to be added to keep the tank at the desired level. Surface
water evaporates at approximately 1.5 gallons per square
foot per month during a mild November(Temp 52°F). For
a 1,500 square foot pad,the loss of about 2,250 gallons due
to evaporation during the month (unless it rains), will leave
about 15,350 gallons of waste water to treat.
Treatment Options for Recycling Waste Water
There are several treatment options for the waste water generated by pressure washers.
All of these options will require an impervious wash pad to collect the waste water for
processing. The treatment options are discussed in the following chart:
Settling Particles aided by gravity,settle to the bottom of a liquid and form sediment.It may take
Tank 10 to 12 hours for heavy metals to settle if at a low flow. Bacteria and odor can be a
problem. Since,some of contaminated particles will be stirred up in the tank when
pressure washing resumes,the water cannot safely be re-used by a pressure washer. Labor
costs are high to remove the sediment fro in the tank.
Electro- As wastewater travels through a series of cells,an electrical current is applied to anode
coagulation and cathode that allow certain compounds to approach a more stable state and produce a
solid form that is removed by precipitation or filtration. This process can remove
emulsified oils,solids,and heavy metals. A large tank is generally required to allow
processing time.Training and maintenance is complex for operation of these units. The
units also frequently require proprietary expensive replacement components and repairs.
Chemical Various chemicals are used that can include pH adjustment to neutralize wastewater and
Treatment flocculants to improve settling. A large tank is generally required to allow processing
time. Skimming,shoveling,or filtration is still required to remove solids from solution.
Chemicals can be cost prohibitive and require properly trained operators. Labor costs are
hiah to remove sediment.
Biological Biological treatment utilizes designer microbes that feed on organic materials and
Treatment nutrients and oils. These bacteria require"dwell time"to work effectively so large storage
tanks are required. If the water is too cold the bacteria go dormant,and they die if water is
too hot. The normal chlorine present in city water kills these custom microbes. These
treatments require a constant source of organic matter,costly bacteria at over$100+each
month,and properly trained operators.
Handling Marina Wastewater Discharge 6
Ozone These systems use Ozone to kill bacteria and help clarify water. They do not remove
Treatment solids or heavy metals. A large tank is generally required to allow settling time. These
systems often use very expensive UV tubes that typically bum out each year. Labor costs
are high to remove the sediment.
Media Filters mechanically separate solids from a waste stream. There are many types of filters
Filtration available that include: (1)paper type media in the form of cartridges,paper,and bags,(2)
activated carbon,(3)ultra-filtration membranes,and(4)sand and diatomaceous earth
filters. Replacement media is often expensive and clogs quickly. Oil will destroy most
replaceable media. Bacteria and odor can be a problem. System maintenance may require
back flushing to reduce back pressure. Disposal problems are created with used filter
media and the several hundred gallons of dirty back flush water.
Cyclonic Cyclonic separators use cones to separate solids from water. Older technology large cone
Separators units were usually not capable of filtration below 50 microns,but more advanced smaller
cones can filter particulates as small as 5 microns with 98%efficiency. There is no filter
media to purchase and install. A cyclonic cone aerates water to stop anaerobic bacterial
growth. Solids are discharged to a separate waste container for easy disposal.
Maintenance cost;are low. Continuous filtration uses smaller tanks.
Evaluation of Water Treatment Systems
Waste water recycling systems are best evaluated on the quality of the water before and
after the filtering process. The system's efficiency, costs, size, and durability are all
important factors. Looking at the manufacturer's past track record can also help avoid
companies that may go out of business. They may already be operating under a new
name because their last "magical mystery box"didn't quite work out. Question whether
this company might still be around in a few years. Do they sell other products to keep
them in business after the limited numbers of marinas have purchased a filter to satisfy
the EPA mandate?
EncyclonTm -Cyclonic Filtration is the Cost Effective Recycling Solution
Encyclon offers the best filtration for the lowest cost. These units are manufactured in
Kenosha, Wisconsin, USA. Since 1974 we have built hundreds of filtrations systems
for demanding industrial applications. Our industrial customers include some of the
world's largest corporations who have the resources to regularly test fluid samples and
reject filtration systems that do not perform to
advertised standards. When an aircraft engine
builder makes a bad filter choice, a defective -
part that causes an engine failure can result in
disaster. A damaged pressure washer seems
almost trivial by comparison.
' Industrial Filter '��''r'
We manufacture over 60 types of filtration
systems with capacities up to 560-gpm and tanks as large as 3,000 gallons. Our industrial
systems remove thousands of pounds of abrasive grit and steel particles from water based
coolants each day, so removing a few pounds of paint chips with copper is relatively easy
stuff. Some of our other water recycling applications include: semi-truck washing, stone
cutting paint booth water-falls,potato washing, in addition to marina pressure washing
Handling Marina Wastewater Discharge 7
All of our systems operate on the simplest, most efficient means of separating foreign
particles from liquids—centrifugal force generated in a cyclonic chamber. The same
high efficiency cyclonic cones are used in all of our systems, so replacement parts are
readily available.
High Efficiency Cyclonic Cones are the key to removing particulate contaminates down
to 5-microns or 0.00019 inches. The filtered particle size is smaller that a human hair
split(21) times. Encyclon cyclonic cones generate a centrifugal force at 7,500 times
gravity so the heavier copper items found in marina waste water are
filtered at the most efficient rate. The Encyclon cone has a 98%
efficiency rating on the first pass, however since the water passes
through the filter multiple times, the 98% efficiency is effectively
multiplied endlessly. After several passes through the cyclonic
system, the water may be clean enough to be discharged to most
sanitary sewer systems,but since a discharge permit, testing, and
monitoring is usually required, most marinas find it easier to re-use
the filtered water for boat washing.
There is no "magical mystery box"used inside of Encyclon filtration
systems. The cyclonic cones are in plan view. The #65 cone is
capable of 5-micron filtration. It is made from nylon with ceramic
wear resistant parts and is 18-inches in length This#65 cone filters
at a rate of 20-gpm,which is over five times the amount of water used by a typical 3.5
gpm pressure washer.
Dirty water enters the side of the cone with an input pressure of 35 PSI and clean water
exits the top of the cone with an output pressure of less than 10 PSI. The dirty particles
are continuously discharged in a 0.3 gpm spray from the 0.25 inch diameter orifice at the
bottom of the cone that also injects air back into the cone. If you would like to learn
more about what happens inside our cyclonic cone, see the appendix"How a cyclone
works".
Smaller cyclones are more efficient. Often when I mention cyclones to a new customer
they tell me how great their Dyson vacuum cleaner works. They understand efficiency as
the Dyson Root CycloneTM uses as many as (14) very small cyclonic chambers in their
product As a cyclone becomes more efficient,both the length and capacity are reduced.
Our smaller 3-micron#28 cone measures about half the length of our#65 cone with only
25%the capacity. We use a single#65 cone for our standard marina waste water filter
systems because our standard 5-micron filtration is already more efficient than the 50-
micron filtration obtained when using new filter paper, cartridges and bags media.
Low efficiency(LE)cyclones cause problems. Unfortunately potential customers have
also complained about problems when using some of our competitor's cyclonic systems.
I find that low efficiency (LE)cyclones are usually the problem LE cyclones are
commonly used in process applications like separating corn kernels. These big LE
cyclones may also be great for filtering sand from a water main supply line, but they can
Handling Marina Wastewater Discharge 8
only remove a small percentage ofthe smaller contaminates that can destroy the pump
seals found in a marina pressure washer. You can avoid these inefficient filtration
systems because the LE cyclonic cone is easy to recognize. Look for a cyclonic cone that
is typically longer than40-inches. You can often find other types of additional media
filtration that actually filter out the small stuff in many of LE cyclonic systems. LE
cyclonic chambers often use complicated dump valves that require electrical controls for
the discharge of effluent. Their low cyclonic pressures do not work well with an open
discharge that is required for the helpful air injection feature. LE cyclones do not need a
ceramic discharge nozzle because they develop a much lower centrifugal force and
particle velocity that leaves many of the smaller contaminates unfiltered.
Encyclon frequently get calls asking how to fix a competitor's broken cyclonic unit.
These big cones can have big rust problems. Their LE cyclonic cones are usually made
from steel that is prone to internal corrosion and almost impossible to repair. Often the
company that supplied the LE cyclonic system is no longer in business. With a little
plumbing work and a few Encyclon 965 high-efficiency cones, we can usually fix our
competitor's broken filter. These satisfied "repair"customers usually purchase their next
new system from Encyclon
Encyclon filtration controls bacterial problems because the recycled water is continuously
aerated during filtration to keep anaerobic bacteria under control Living organisms need
oxygen to maintain the metabolic processes that produce energy for growth and
reproduction. The dissolved oxygen in waste water determines whether the biological
changes are brought by aerobic or by anaerobic organisms. Aerobic bacteria use free
oxygen for oxidation of organic and inorganic matter and produce innocuous end
products. Anaerobic oxidation however, causes the reduction of certain inorganic salts
such as sulfates that cause bad odors. Aerobic organisms are highly desirable to keep
anaerobic organisms in check. Since both types of organisms are present in waste water,
unless aerobic bacteria receive proper amount of oxygen, the anaerobic bacteria will take
over and cause a bad odor.
Many of our competitor's filtrations systems just kill all the bacteria using expensive
chlorine,biocides or ozone generators. A few use chemicals to change the water pH to a
level that is not only harmful to bacteria, but can be harmful to gel-coat and operators.
Encyclon units are simple to service with low maintenance as most models have just one
moving part-the cyclone pump. Not much can go wrong with Encyclon filtration unless
one of the following problems occurs: (1) low input water pressure, (2) high output water
pressure, or(3) clogged discharge orifice. It's not rocket science,but a cyclonic system
must be designed properly to prevent problems. The design criteria include; a working
pump, a constant supply of water usually requiring a tank, a discharge pipe for clean
water with bypass capabilities and no restrictions, and a strainer basket to catch the larger
stuff before it can clog the discharge orifice. The dirty discharged particulates are
directed to a small collection container that has an overflow for excess water to be
reprocessed.
Handling Marina Wastewater Discharge 9
Eventually the discharge orifice will wear from the abrasion of the dirty particles being
discharged. Encyclon uses an easy to change low cost ceramic tip for the cone discharge
orifice. Industrial users typically change these tips each year after filtering thousands of
pounds of abrasive and steel particles. These tips can be expected to last much longer for
marina applications. The $65 cost of a ceramic tip is a bargain when compared to cost
and labor for frequently changing our competitor's filter paper, bags, or cartridges. Since
there is no filter media used in Encyclon systems, there is no media that adds to the waste
disposal problem. Debris from an Enc)clon system is discharged into a small wheeled
container. Smaller wastes equal lower disposal costs.
Encyclon standard marina filtration units use a modular desien. Our building block
design lets you customize the Encyclon cyclonic filtration system for your wash pad.
Our standard self-prime (SP)unit has a very small foot print of only 24 x 32 inches that
will meet the needs of most marinas. We can build a larger system for whatever tank size
and filtration capacity you may require. if you need us to
provide tanks with your system, we can add them. If you need
more capacity than our standard 20-gpm flow rate, we can use
multiple cones. If your customers discharge bilge water on
your pad,we build several types of oil skimmers that can be
added to your system. We have even added magnetic
separators,bags, and refrigeration units for some of our industrial
customers. Our standard SP system includes casters,but we can
skid mount it, or put the whole system on a trailer. 11
Encyclon self prime systems are easy to install. Each unit is
completely assembled and tested before shipping. You connect
the water feed and return lines from your wash pad sump to our I*•"---
system. Next plug the supplied cord set into a standard marine
dockside 110V electrical receptacle. Turn the switch onand
clean water flows to your pressure washer and tanks. Since our standard unit is designed
to be portable equipment, it requires no permanent structure or coastal building permit.
Selecting the Best Filtration System
• Choose Value-Encyclon offers a system that is less than half the cost of our
competitors. You could spend ten times as much for some of our competitor's
systems and still not reach our 5-micron filtration level
• Plan Ahead - Encyclon has been building filters for over 35 years. Don't
purchase a"magical mystery box" from one of our competitors and expect to find
their proprietary parts in a few years after they are out of business.
• Think Quality -Don't expect a filter that looks like it was made from swimming
pool components in someone's garage to hold up as well as the Encyclon
industrial strength unit.
Handling Marina Wastewater Discharge 10
• Be Aware-Factor in the high cost for consumables such as filter paper,bags,
cartridges, tubes, microbes, and chemicals.
• Work Smart-Select a system that can simultaneously operate while washing
boats. Systems that require quiet time, frequent recharging, or backwashes,
reduce boat pressure washing capacity and revenue.
• Lower Costs —The revenue generated from pressure washing boats can easily
pay for the system cost by adding an environmental charge for pressure washing.
• Save Water-Recycling can save thousands of gallons of water in a year.
• Be Green -Waste water recycling appeals to environmentally responsible
customers and helps keep our water-ways clean.
• Increase Profits-As other marinas may eliminate the service of hull washing,
your marina can gain new customers and sell other value added services.
• Stay Legal-Avoid permits, reports, and costly non,compliance penalties.
• Act Promptly- There is a limited amount of time to purchase the system before
the EPA deadlines. Delivery times will increase as demand increases.

Appendix- How a Cyclone Works
Dirty liquid enters the cyclone at the inlet orifice (1) of the cyclonic chamber(3). The
shape and tangential location of the orifice develop a downward, spiraling flow of the
liquid. This is called the primary whirl (4) which follows the chamber walls downward,
developing centrifugal force of up to 7500 times that of gravity.
This same force spins out the solid particles to 5 microns, or
.00019"diameter from the liquid. The solid particles (often t
referred to as swarf) strike the wall and slide down to the h ;
discharge orifice(7). palet Qrmce

A throttling effect in the lower cyclonic chamber(6) reverses the Whirl .0 ' s
descent of the liquid but not the rotation. This forms the Searcher
secondary whirl (5), a rising, spiraling flow of cleaned liquid that (31
passes up through the primary whirl to the whirl searcher(2). Cyclonic---
