1. Water pipes have been broken for weeks at a time with
water
pouring out. The pipes don't appear to be insulated. I don't know how
to contact base maintenance or how to report these type problems.
Sometimes in cold weather all dock faucets are opened to prevent
freezing, I think. This causes numerous slick icy spots on the docks—a
hazzard.
2. I don't see a fire fighting unit on the dock
area-just a pull alarm unit. I was told by a fire department alarm guy
that we have alarms and a fire boat can respond. If a boat is on fire
it could spread fast to other boats. Are there written procedures
concerning fire or other emergencies at the marina??
3. Ordering parts through Paxton only arrive on Thursdays. Is it
possible to request next day delivery from Paxton?
4. Electricity seems problematic at times of high use. My breaker pops
under heavy use. To whom or where can I report it?
5.
There is a non-working pump out unit but apparently belongs to the
Yacht Club?? Could it be transferred to someone or to the Marina so it
can be maintained for use? I was told pump out could be dumped in the
sewage outlet behind the washer/dryer building—is that correct??
6. The artificial turf material on the main dock area is torned and a
tripping hazzard. Can it be removed or repaired?
7.
Is there a procedures book for the marina? I could include who is
responsible for what and what are the contacts numbers/emails? Or,maybe
an information bulletin board for residents of the marina would work
better?
Owners/residents of Gottschalk need to know fire procedures
and how
fire if fought on boats at the marina, where alarms are positioned,
etc.
Water lines at Marina need to be repaired and insulated
fully.
Do not opt rid of
portable pump out, instead keep better track of who is using it and
inform the user about where to empty tank. "Sewer clean out behind the laundry
facility."

WASHINGTON
- During the 80th
meeting of the National Boating Safety Advisory Council (NBSAC),
Council members unanimously voted in favor of a resolution recommending
that that U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) continue to seek Statutory Authority
to require that a boat operator, on waters subject to the jurisdiction
of the United States, possess
a certificate showing completion of an education course or its
equivalent.
The Council also recommended that the USCG assemble a task force to
develop a draft of the minimum proposed mandatory education
requirements that meet current educational standards. The
objective of this task force is to resolve multiple interpretations,
advance the process, and clarify their intent prior to legislative
authorization. Read

It’s
a serious issue: chemical, biological, and radiological/nuclear
materials—what we call weapons of mass destruction or WMD—being used to
attack the U.S.
The threat is real. The
anthrax attacks of 2001 killed five Americans and terrorized the
nation. And al Qaeda has openly pursued WMD and would likely use any
weapons they build or buy against our nation.
Our top
priority, as with all forms of terrorism, is prevention: making sure
such WMD attacks never get off the ground. But how do we protect a
country as large as ours with just 13,000 agents and many other
investigative responsibilities?
One important answer, in addition to
our national and international investigative and intelligence work:through outreach and
education. Learn More
