This publication is devoted to the study of environmental activities of shipyards located in the conservation area Ulysses Bay in Vladivostok (Peter the Great Bay, the Sea of Japan), and the type of the storm water treatment facility. Pollution of waters and  bottom  sediments  has  been  registered  in  the  bay  for  a  long  period  of  time, which is shown in a number of publications. The data obtained at the national observation network station, located at the exit from the bay, over the 2009-2014 observation  period,  are  indicative  of  the  oil  hydrocarbons  predominance  in  the  sea  waters.  In  different  years,  their  maximum  concentrations  varied  from  2  to  48  MAC (maximum allowable concentration). The paper reviews the study of the qualitative and quantitative characteristics of polluting the waters of the Ulysses Bay by storm water runoff from the shipbuilding facility. It was established that the storm water from the territory of the facility and the samples of water taken at the distance of 250 m from the place of discharge do not correspond to the hygienic requirements relative to the water in the fishery water body by the majority of indicators. Maximum  exceeding  of  MAC  was  found  for  suspended  matter  (12-26  MAC)  and  petroleum products (6 MAC). Quality of the storm water in terms of organoleptic indicators does not correspond to the sanitary and hygienic norms established for the fishery water bodies. The article suggests the design for the storm water treatment facility to be used at the shipyard which was used for the research. The use of the suggested facility – the combined facility for oil and sand interception – would ensure that  the  amount  of  pollutants  discharged  into  Ulysses  Bay  are  compliant  to  the
maximum allowable concentration (MAC). It has been demonstrated that for solving the environmental problems connected with pollution of the Ulysses Bay waters, it is necessary  to  apply  a  comprehensive  approach  to  the  system  of  nature  use  in  the
coastal zone.
