dispose of vessels and marine debris at any of three Monroe County Solid Waste transfer stations

separated from the vessel. The vessel can contain no fuel or fuel tanks. All fluids should be drained
from the engine, which will be visually inspected by the transfer station for acceptance. Engines,
batteries, fuel, and fuel tanks (or other hazardous materials) shall be properly disposed of(transfer
stations have separate facilities/containers for engines, fuel, etc.). Any recyclable materials may
be taken to a recycling center or licensed scrap yard. If asbestos is present, further coordination

The Contractor shall contact the Marine Resources Office immediately if circumstances arise in
which the work cannot be completed according to the above indicated schedule, in which case
other arrangements may be necessary. It is understood that weather may delay removal efforts;
however, the Contractor's work load or logistical issues will not be considered 'good reason' for
delays. All documents required for payment (including invoices, photographs showing
removal/disposal and complete disposal/recycling tickets) shall be submitted electronically to the
Marine Resources Office. The photographs shall document the condition of the vessel prior to
removal, the removal process, and the final disposition of the vessel.

be returned to FWC. Please contact officer Liam Rodriguez or Captain Dipre to return the buoy.
