Environmental Considerations
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
standards state that in freshwater lakes, reservoirs,
impoundments whose inlets or outlets are such as
to prevent the ingress or egress by vessel traffi c
subject to this regulation, or in rivers not capable
of navigation by interstate traffi c subject to this
regulation, marine sanitation certifi ed by the United
States Coast Guard (U.S.C.G.) installed on vessels
shall be designed and operated to prevent the
overboard discharge of sewage, treated or untreated
or any other waste derived from sewage.
The EPA standards further state that this shall
not be construed to prohibit the carriage of Coast
Guard certified flow through treatment devices
which have been secured so as to prevent such
discharges. They also state that the waters where
a Coast Guard certifi ed marine sanitation device
permitting discharge is allowed include: Coastal
waters, Estuaries, The Great Lakes and Intercoastal
waterways, Freshwater lakes and Impoundments
accessible through locks and other fl owing waters
that are navigable interstate by vessels subject to
this regulation. (40CFR 140.3)
