Chapter 11.30
SAFETY
Sections:
11.30.010 Safety.
(1) The safekeeping of a vessel is the sole responsibility of the owner/operator. The owner/operator shall use all reasonable efforts to keep a vessel seaworthy, securely moored, and fully operational, and to otherwise attend to the needs and requirements of vessel maintenance. Failure to so maintain and secure the vessel may result in the vessel being deemed a hazardous vessel and subjected to removal under CBMC 11.20.010.
(2) If the city determines that action is necessary for the safety or protection of the facility, any vessel or vessels, or any navigable waterway, the city shall give, or attempt to give, written or verbal notice to the owner/operator at the owner/operator’s registered address.
(a) If the owner/operator fails to provide needed assistance within a reasonable time after notice has been given, or if the city is unable to notify the owner/operator within a reasonable time after action has been determined to be necessary for safety or protection, the city may, but is not required to, replace defective mooring lines, attach additional mooring lines, pump a vessel that is taking on water, move any vessel to protect the vessel from fire or other hazard, or render such other services as the city, in its sole discretion, determines are needed. [Ord. 217 § 9, 1995].
11.30.020 Fire and safety.
(1) All vessels moored at and personal property used on or about the facility shall be used and maintained in such a manner and condition so as not to constitute an actual or potential fire or safety hazard. Failure to conform to any local, state or federal law or regulation regarding fire or safety shall be conclusively presumed to be an actual fire or safety hazard.
(2) No person shall dump, discharge, or pump, or allow or cause to be dumped, discharged, or pumped, any oil, spirits, gasoline, distillates, petroleum products, or any other flammable materials onto the facility or adjacent property, or into Coos Bay. All combustible materials shall be stored in such a place and manner as to prevent accidental combustion. No person shall store, allow or cause to be stored on any vessel moored at the facility any fuel, except in tanks or containers specifically designated for that purpose. [Ord. 217 § 10, 1995].
