Here in BC, there are pretty stiff regulations about capturing run off from pressure washing and wet or dry sanding. My club has an area large enough for 8-10 boats to be hauled which drains into a multi stage filtration system, so we can pressure wash or wet sand as long as the system is active, and the water is recycled for this purpose. My understanding is that Canadian regulations are actually stiffer than the US in terms of additives permitted in bottom paints, and most yards I have seen locally have prominent warnings posted about rules for bottom cleaning, and the stiff penalties for not following them. Enforcement may vary of course... -- Shawn Wright shawngwri...@gmail.com S/V Callisto, 1974 C&C 35 https://www.facebook.com/SVCallisto
