Marinas, by necessity, are located right on the water.  Unlike most inland businesses, where there is a buffer between the site and the shoreline that allows pollutants to be cleaned up or at least diluted before reaching the waterway, hazardous or toxic materials spilled or left on the ground at a marina may enter the water essentially undiluted if proper precautions are not taken.
