In Maryland the boats are cleaned over mesh filter cloth designed to catch all the various particles. Re the bottom paint: Back In The Day we used Sears bottom paint. It was cheap, looked brand new after a year, and it killed all barnacles, seaweed, slime, or algae on your boat, near your boat, and probably anywhere within 100 yards of your boat ☺ Probably killed everything else too! It has been banned for ages for obvious reasons.

Run off goes on the gravel. Done to all the boats on haul out, either by owner, by the club or hired help. Scraping and sanding it is required to catch and dispose of the particulate. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Shawn Wright <shawngwri...@gmail.com<mailto:shawngwri...@gmail.com>> To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com<mailto:cnc-list@cnc-list.com> Cc: Bcc: Date: Sat, 26 Oct 2019 20:09:40 -0700 Subject: Re: Stus-List Bottom Cleaning Here in BC, there are pretty stiff regulations about capturing run off from pressure washing and wet or dry sanding. My club has an area large enough for 8-10 boats to be hauled which drains into a multi stage filtration system, so we can pressure wash or wet sand as long as the system is active, and the water is recycled for this purpose. My understanding is that Canadian regulations are actually stiffer than the US in terms of additives permitted in bottom paints, and most yards I have seen locally have prominent warnings posted about rules for bottom cleaning, and the stiff penalties for not following them. Enforcement may vary of course... -- Shawn Wright shawngwri...@gmail.com<mailto:shawngwri...@gmail.com> S/V Callisto, 1974 C&C 35 https://www.facebook.com/SVCallisto ______________________________
