navigation. States may apply to the EPA to have certain other waters declared "no discharge zones" if
discharge of treated sewage would be harmful. In short, boats with installed toilets must have an
operable Coast Guard approved Marine Sanitation Device (MSD) designed to either hold sewage for
pump out ashore or for discharge in the ocean beyond the three mile limit, or to treat the sewage to
Federal standards prior to discharge.
All boats built since 1977 with installed toilets must have an operable approved type I, II or III MSD.
