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 subject to this
regulation, marine sanitation certified 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
certified 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 flowing waters
that are navigable interstate by vessels subject to
this regulation. (40 CFR, 140.3)
