Baseline Environmental Performance Measures for the Shipbuilding and Ship Repair Industry

Prepared August 2001 by John Sheridan, NCMS, (734) 995-4963, johns@ncms.org

Appendix 2. Where the Shipyards Are

Shipyards are already reporting relevant environmental data to federal and state environmental agencies. Such data would constitute a valuable starting point for establishing a baseline. Thus, the first step in this analysis is to assess where the greatest concentration of shipbuilding exists. Table 1, below, provides Census data by state for the NAIC codes[29] that constitute shipbuilding and repair. States with known large (roughly $1 Billion or more) shipbuilding sales, or more than 100 shipbuilding establishments, are highlighted in yellow in the table, and were targeted for data collection. These are:

California	Louisiana	Texas
Connecticut	Maine	Virginia
Florida	Mississippi	Washington

The above states were chosen for this research. In addition, EPA requested that Alabama and Oregon be included in the survey.

Selected Industry Statistics by State: 1997

NOTE. Data based on the 1997 Economic Census.
