INSTRUCTIONS: 1. Use this checklist to conduct a self assessment of your facility and determine if your marina qualifies for Indiana Clean Marina status. The checklist and page numbers referenced with each question correspond to the Indiana Clean Marina Guidebook available at www.IN.gov/dnr/lakemich. Please refer to the guidebook as you answer the questions in the checklist. 2. Fill in the information requested below. Then Numeric Values for Best Management Practices proceed to pages 2-13. Each best management practice (BMP) is assigned a numeric 0 = Required by regulation or law value depending on environmental impact. 1 = Low direct impact in maintaining water quality No points are awarded for BMPs required 3 = Moderate impact in maintaining water quality by regulation or law. Some questions do not 5 = High impact in maintaining water quality have a numeric value because they are leadin questions for related questions that follow. For each question, determine if your facility is currently implementing that BMP. If the answer is yes, write down the available points for that BMP in the "Yes" column. If the answer is no, place a check in the "No" column for that BMP. The "Not Applicable" column is provided so options that do not apply to your marina will not count against you during scoring. For BMPs that do not apply to your marina, write down the available points for that BMP in the "Not Applicable" column. Sum up the points awarded under the "Yes" and "Not Applicable" columns. Record these values in the spaces provided for "Awarded Points" and "Not Applicable Points" at the end of each section (e.g., Storm Water Run-Off) and also in the Point Summary on page 13. 3. Complete the "Comments" section on pages 12-13 if you need to explain any answers or request clarification for any particular best management practice. Please reference the question number. 4. Use the equation at the bottom of page 13 to calculate your cumulative score. Then call the coastal nonpoint coordinator at (219) 921-0863 to discuss your results. NOTE: If you previously qualified for "Clean Marina" status and are currently applying for your annual redesignation, place a check in the "New Best Management Practice?" column for any new best management practices you have added since your previous designation. Mail a copy of the updated checklist and a letter stating your marina still meets the requirements included in the checklist to the above address.
