Ballast Water Discharge Standard
Rulemaking (Aug
28, 2009)
DHS. Coast Guard.
The Coast Guard is proposing new standards for controlling foreign organisms
that might hitch a ride to the United States in a ship's ballast water.
The proposal also would establish new procedures for approving onboard equipment
to clean ballast water before discharge. For the first time, the regulation
sets upper limits for the number of organisms per unit of ballast water. The
current rules only require vessels to make mid-ocean ballast exchanges, a
control technique that has frequently been attacked as inadequate to prevent
the introduction of alien species into U.S. waters.
The Coast Guard's proposal closely follows recommendations adopted
last month by the International Maritime Organization’s marine pollution
committee.
Consideration will be given to comments received on or before Dec 4, 2009.
