Solid Waste Disposal
(Marpol Treaty) The Act to Prevent Pollution from Ships places limitations on the discharge of gar-
bage from vessels. It is illegal to dump plastic trash anywhere in the ocean or navigable waters of the
United States, including the Great Lakes. The discharge of other types of garbage is permitted outside
of specific distance offshore as determined by the nature of that garbage.
See Federal Requirements and Safety Tips for Recreational Boats for more detail.
Other Waste
The Refuse Act of 1899 prohibits throwing discharging or depositing any refuse matter of any kind
(including trash, garbage, oil and other liquid pollutants) into the waters of the United States.
Marine Sanitation
All recreational boats with installed toilet facilities must have an operable marine sanitation device
(MSD) aboard. vessels 65 feet and under may use a Type I, II, or III MSD. All installed MSD's must be
Coast Guard certified. The Holding Tank installed in the Chris Craft is certified by definition under the
regulations and is not specifically labeled.
Speed
Local speed laws are often posted to prevent wake damage to shore side facilities, to slow boaters
in crowded or confined situations, and to preserve wildlife and wildlife habitats. Penalties for
violations are often very high.
Wake
No wake zones are usually posted to prevent damage to shore side facilities. It is the operator's re-
sponsibility to operate
the boat at a speed that does not produce a damaging wake, even if the speed
is below a posted speed limit.
Operating your Chris-Craft under the influence of alcohol and/or
drugs may cause serious injury. Do not drink alcohol
and/or take drugs and operate the vessel.
It is the responsibility of the owner/operator to ensure that the vessel operator is not under the influence
of drugs and/or alcohol. In the United States, boating while intoxicated (BWI) became a Federal offense
January13, 1988. If the Blood Alcohol Content (BAC) is 0.10% (0.08% in some States) or higher for op-
erators of recreational vessels being used only for pleasure, violators are subject to a civil penalty not to
exceed $1000 or criminal penalty not to exceed $5000 or both. Other State or local penalties may apply.
Accident Reporting
In the United States, all boating accidents must be reported by the operator or owner of the vessel to the
proper marine law enforcement authority for the State in which the accident occurred.
Accidents involving more then $500 damage or complete loss of the vessel must have a formal report
filed within 10 days. Accidents involving death or disappearance must be reported immediately.
Accidents involving injury requiring more than first aid must have a report filed within 48 hours.
