The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
standards state that in freshwater lakes, freshwater
reservoirs or other freshwater impoundments
whose inlets or outlets are such as to prevent the
ingress or egress by vessel trafc subject to this
regulation, or in rivers not capable of navigation by
interstate vessel trafc subject to this regulation,
marine sanitation devices certied by the U.S. Coast
Guard installed on all vessels shall be designed
and operated to prevent the overboard discharge
of sewage, treated or untreated, or of any waste
derived from sewage. The EPA standards further
state that this shall not be construed to prohibit
the carriage of Coast Guard-certied ow-through
treatment devices which have been secured so
as to prevent such discharges. They also state
that waters where a Coast Guard certied marine
sanitation device permitting discharge is allowed
include coastal waters and estuaries, the Great
Lakes and interconnecting waterways, freshwater
lakes and impoundments accessible through
locks, and other owing waters that are navigable
interstate by vessels subject to this regulation (40
CFR 140.3).

The portable head unit has two individual holding
tanks. The top tank is tted with a hand pump and
holds fresh water and chemicals. The bottom tank is
for holding waste material (See Figure 7.4.1). There
is an option for a dockside pump-out hose attached
to the waste material (bottom) tank. The pump-out
hose leads to the waste pump-out opening on the
starboard side of the transom. To empty the holding
tank, the services of a dockside pump-out station
are needed. Follow instructions at the station and
make sure the pump-out station hose is inserted
into the deck plate marked “Waste.”
NOTE: Before leaving the dock make sure caps
on top and bottom tanks are tight. Make sure top
tank is lled with chemicals and the bottom tank is
empty.
