  Marinas

Please be advised: changes to ORC 3733.22 (effective September 29, 2011) have repealed the law for this program.  The rules in the Ohio Administrative Code 3701-35 will be rescinded.  The Ohio Department of Health will no longer provide any oversight or assistance in this program as of the effective date of this change.   

Overview

Marinas in Ohio are regulated under the authority of Chapter 3733 of the Ohio Revised Code (ORC) and the rules specified in Chapter 3701-35 of the Ohio Administrative Code (OAC). A marina is defined as a boat basin that has docks or moorings for seven or more watercraft. The rules apply uniformly, throughout the state, affecting the location, development, operation and maintenance of marinas to assure marinas provide adequate sanitary facilities for the watercraft using them and do not cause a nuisance or health hazard.

 

Services

 

  • Policy and procedural guidance to local health district administration and staff for the implementation of the marina regulatory program including inspection, operation and maintenance.
  • Explanation and interpretation of the standards relative to the layout, water supply, restroom facilities, sewage and waste disposal facilities, safety and general sanitation of marinas.
  • Periodic survey of local health district licensing programs to assure the licensing programs are being conducted in compliance with the ORC and the OAC.

Backflow Prevention Devices 

 

The current set of Marina rules requires that all A.S.S.E. 1011 backflow prevention devices be replaced with either an A.S.S.E. 1052 or A.S.S.E. 1024 device by January 1, 2010.  The Ohio Department of Health has issued a Marina - Backflow prevention devices letter to all local health districts with an interpretation of this requirement.
