replacement of the tanks is not required under the fire code, and he verbally expressed safety concerns on relocation. Further there has not been a documented spill at this location due to issues with the tanks. These tanks are inspected for soundness on an ongoing basis and there are operational procedures in place which require an active release of a lock to allow fueling to occur, thus keeping a tight control over the operations of the fueling at all times. The manager lives on-site and is therefore basically the first 24 hour a day responder if the need should ever arise. During my visit the owner asked me about the off shore material which has been placed out into Old River generally to the west of the Marina. It would appear that these were placed by someone, perhaps a previous owner, to attempt to create a wave break from boats moving by the marina at fast rates of speed. These appear to be a possible navigational hazard as they are not well marked. However, removal is not likely and improving them is potentially costly and also not likely due to questions on jurisdiction. They appear to be off site of the property owned by the Marina operator as they rest on the bottom at the edge of the old river channel. I advised that the best option, both from a safety stand point for boaters, as well as to prevent the wakes from rapidly passing boats from impacting his outer docks, would likely be consulting the County and the Coast Guard to see about placing a speed restriction in the area, or at the very least seeing if better marking of this hazard can be accomplished to help prevent an accident and possible oils spill. Photos 4 and 5 (Attachment A) show this hazard in pictures taken from the western most docks at the marina. RECEIVE[, SEP 09 2015 ENVIRONMENTAL {-rCQIT(�r1CD�C}T,/C'111T -3-
