AWO Vessel General Permit Template Compliance Forms and Documents

The template forms and other documents copied below were developed to assist AWO members in complying with the inspection and recordkeeping requirements of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Vessel General Permit (VGP).  These downloadable sample forms and documents can be customized by AWO members to use in developing their own means of recording inspections and other information required under the VGP. 

The template forms have not been reviewed or approved by EPA and do not represent any consensus or industry standard regarding how recordkeeping should be done.  Companies are under no obligation to use these forms; each must decide what manner of recordkeeping best helps it to meet the requirements of the VGP. 

Inspection and recordkeeping requirements are contained in sections 4.1 and 4.2 of the VGP.  The VGP provides that required records must be maintained on paper or electronically onboard the barge or accompanying towing vessel.  AWO is working to secure EPA clarification that  records may be kept at a shoreside location as long as they can be transmitted electronically to EPA upon request. The agency is still reviewing AWO's request.
