Section 6 - Water & Waste System
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 traffic subject to this regulation, or in
rivers not capable of navigation by interstate traffic sub-
ject to this regulation. Marine sanitation certified by the
United States Coast Guard (U.S.C.G.) installed on ves-
sels shall be designed and operated to prevent the over-
board 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 treat-
ment devices which have been secured so as to prevent
such discharges. They also state that the waters where a
Coast Guard certified marine sanitation device permit-
ting discharge is allowed include: Coastal waters, Estu-
aries, The Great Lakes and Intercoastal waterways,
Freshwater lakes and Impoundments accessible through
locks and other flowing waters that are navigable inter-
state by vessels subject to this regulation. (40CFR 140.3)
