The National Shipbuilding Research Program. Shipyard/EPA Forum Project
Abstract
This project was sponsored by the Special Testing and Studies Committee ("Ad-Hoc") of the Environmental Technical Panel ("SP-1") to provide initial funding to develop an ongoing cooperative dialogue with senior national regional and state environmental agency personnel. The goal of this project is to provide the means to facilitate this dialogue in the most cost-effective manner. A secondary goal of this project is to provide the shipyards with a significant resource on technical environmental issues of concern. After approval off this project's original proposal the members of the Ad-Hoc committee requested that this project's scope of work be modified to more closely align itself with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Sustainable Industry Program's US Shipbuilding and Repair Industry Section project. This was accomplished by reformatting this project's Task Deliverables to correspond with the EPA's Sustainable Industry project goals. Additionally the EPA provided funding to expand the overall scope of the work to include specific Sustainable Industry project deliverables. This portion of the overall NSRP/EPA-SI project now consists to two Task Deliverables: I. Development of a comprehensive US Shipbuilding and Repair Industry Sector contact database: and 2. Performance and analysis of a Shipyard Environmental Issues of Concern survey. This report documents the results of these two tasks. Additional reports will be prepared and provide to the NSRP regarding the results of additional Tasks funded by the EPA-SI and other sources. The final collection of these reports will be considered to be the Final Project Report for both the NARP and EPA-SI.
