PILLAGE
Regulations prohibit discharging fuel or oily waste
in navigable waters. Discharge is defined as any
action which causes a film, sheen or discoloration
on the water surface, or causes a sludge or
emulsion beneath the water surface. A common
violation is bilge discharge. Use rags or sponges
to soak up fuel or oily waste, then dispose of it
properly ashore. If there is much fuel or oil in the
bilge, contact a knowledgeable marine service to
remove it. Never pump contaminated bilge
overboard. Help protect your waters.
Fill tank(s) less than rated capacity. Allow for
fuel expansion.

Many areas prohibit overboard sewer discharge.
Close and disable flow-through waste systems
to prevent discharge in such areas.

boats 40 feet or larger to have a written “waste
management” plan on board. While the
requirement is aimed at commercial and
passenger ships, there is no exception for
recreational boats. “Ocean-going” means any boat
going beyond the three-mile coastal U.S.
boundary. The written plan can be as simple as:
All vessel refuse is placed in trash bags which
are stored on board until they can be disposed
of in dumpsters on shore. This policy is reviewed
by all crew and passengers. The person in
charge of carrying out the plan is:

anywhere in the ocean or navigable waters of the
United States.
