Internal Environmental & Safety Goal Tracking

Environmentally Friendly Operating Practices

  • Seasonal slip and mooring contracts include verbiage that requires guests to park at the inland Taylor Point facility (serviced by our courtesy shuttle) rather than the public parking lot, thus reducing oils that would otherwise enter the bay
  • State of the art dustless sanding equipment is employed at each sanding facility
  • Oil response equipment is stored at the fuel dock, ready if needed, and checked weekly
  • MARINA WORK BOATS: To date, we have replaced 4 of our 6 traditionally “smoky” 2-stroke motors for new, low-emission Honda 4-stroke environmentally friendly motors. The 2 remaining motors are scheduled to be replaced 2007/2008.

 

  
 
  • We embrace legislation for sewage management as part of Narragansett Bay’s “No Discharge”’ policy
  • PUMP-OUT VESSEL: In 1997 we purchased a boat to pump holding tank sewage from the boats in our marina
    facility. Since, we have encouraged its use by offering
    this service free of charge. Activity of this vessel has now grown to exceed 21,500 gallons annually. This vessel was also loaned at no charge to the town of New Shoreham to assist with an overload situation at the end of July 4th weekend 2003.
  • In 2004 we purchased a portable pump-out waste system, now available for pier use, boat yard use, and emergencies
  • In 2006 we expanded our pier sewage holding tank pump-out system to include a floating dock, pump, and an additional connection via permission of CRMC
  • CMS is a participating dealer in the USEPA New England Clean Engine Program
  • Low-flush toilets and low-flow toilets are installed in the Marina restroom
Recycling & Energy Conservation
  • Shrink wrap recycling since the mid-1990’s
    Conveniently located recycling containers at the Marina facility; encouraged continuous use
  • Recycling fuel filters, scrap metals, and spent florescent
    lamps and bulbs
  • Waste oil burner is used to provide heat at the Mechanic Shop
  • Participation in RISE energy evaluation replacing light fixtures with more energy efficient units
  • TOXIC USE REDUCTION: Yard personnel uses non-toxic anti-freeze to winterize all boats in our boat yard

Storm Water Management

CMS has demonstrated continuous environmental awareness by pursuing the following ongoing action plan to minimize the impacts of storm water. The actions below follow our Best Management Practices and have been ongoing since the early 1990’s.
   
  • Maintenance of wide vegetated buffer areas surrounding the Taylor Point and Round House yard facilities
  • Berms and swales are maintained to manage water flowsGenerous grassy areas are maintained to reduced
    sheet flow
  • Pervious gravel with shell surfaces are maintained
    in drive areas
  • Rain waters from roof downspouts are directed
    to crushed stone and grassy areas where possible
  • All work is performed at specific indoor work areas
  • Trap system/trench drains contain and minimize particulates and floor dust from leaving work bays
  • Petroleum and hazardous waste containment and management
  • A rainwater recycling system captures 6,000 square feet of roof runoff and directs that flow to a large holding tank for future wash water, therefore reducing sheet flow, runoff and town water usage
  • Language in our guests’ winter and summer contracts promotes environmental awareness
