RECOMMENDATIONS ON AN ORDINANCE REGULATING FOAM FLOTATION <br />MATERIALS, 12/29/92, p. 3 <br />of sufficient thickness to withstand physical as well as <br />petroleum product penetration. <br />Time of compliance is the remaining consideration for the <br />problem polystyrene presently in use. .Multiple docks <br />presently using the problem polystyrene will continue to <br />release foam fragments into the lake. The Orono <br />ordinance set 12/31/94 as its deadline for compliance to <br />have all non-encased polystyrene removed or oacased. <br />Multiple dock users affected by the Orono ordinance h.^ve <br />stated this does rot allow a reasonable return on their <br />current investment. The multiple dock users, however, <br />are not taking the responsibility for using a product <br />which is causing the present litter problem, a product <br />they might have investigated more thoroughly before <br />making such an investment. <br />A deadline for removal of the problem polystyrene is <br />needed. Some incentive to the multiple dock owners using <br />this material might be helpful to encourage their removal <br />of the problem material perhaps even before 12/31/94. <br />The committee may wish to consider an incentive. These <br />are invited as part of the timing discussion. <br />Representatives of the affected multiple docks. City of Orono <br />and Dow Chamical Co. are being advised of this outline as it <br />is considered by the committee 1/9/92. <br />(See suggested change of <br />LMCD) <br />Oronu ordinance for adoption by <br />M
