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)
Your 285 Conquest is equipped with a waste
containment/disposal system. The system includes a
Vacu Flush
toilet, a 6.5 Gal. (24.6 L) holding tank
®
with vacuum pump, macerator, lockable discharge
seacock, dockside pump-out connection and a thru-
hull vent.
NOTICE
This boat is equipped with an overboard
discharge seacock.
Severe state and federal penalties are levied
for discharging raw sewage and solid waste
in waters where it is not permitted.
Demonstrating that you have disabled the
macerator by locking the system and/or
removing the seacock handle may avoid a fine.
It is also illegal for any vessel to dump plastic
trash anywhere in the ocean or navigable
waters of the United States.
