Assessment
of the Efficacy, Availability and Environmental
Impacts of Ballast Water Treatment Systems for
Use in California Waters (Jan 2009; PDF | 777
KB)
California State Lands Commission. Marine Facilities Division.
Produced for the California State Legislature.
The Coastal Ecosystems Protection Act of 2006 expanded the Marine Invasive Species Act of 2003 to more effectively address the threat of nonindigenous species introduction through ballast water discharge. The Act charged the California State Lands Commission to implement performance standards for the discharge of ballast water and to prepare a report assessing the efficacy, availability, and environmental impacts, including water quality, of currently available ballast water treatment technologies. This report summarizes the Commission’s conclusions on the advancement of ballast water treatment technology development and evaluation during 2008, discusses future plans of the Commission’s Marine Invasive Species Program regarding the implementation of California’s performance standards for the discharge of ballast water, and makes recommendations to the Legislature.
