Demand for Pumpouts in New Jersey V. Conclusions Vi. qptions 3 I. Introduction and Purpose Recent public interest in protecting the coastal environment has resulted in new initiatives by all levels of government, the private sector, citizens groups and concerned individuals. One legislative action culminated September 1, 1988 in Governor Kean's signing into law P.L. 1988 c. 117. This Marine Sewage Treatment Act, sponsored by Assemblyman Anthony Villane and Senator Frank Pallone, concerns watercraft sewage disposal. The intent of the Act is to reduce overboard disposal of sewage by providing adequate portside collection devices. In brief, the Act: 1. prohibits the discharge of sewage in "No Discharge" zones designated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA); 2. directs the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) to study the supply of, and demand for, sewage collection facilities related to watercraft; 3. requires all publicly owned or operated marinas to provide water- craft sewage collection facilities; 4. empowers the DEP to adopt rules and regulations as necessary to implement the Act; and 5. directs the DEP to apply to the US EPA for "No Discharge" designations. 4 Sewerage collection facilities, as specified in the Act, consist of pumpout facilities for Type III marine sanitation devices (MSDs) and emptying receptacles for portable toilets. This report has been prepared to satisfy the requirements of Section 3 of the Act. The report assesses the supply of, and demand for, pumpout facilities and emptying receptacles, and evaluates the effectiveness of existing regulations related to those facilities. The conclusions and options presented in the last two sections of this report should help the Legislature and DEP to develop strategies for realizing the goals of the Act, and for directing future regulatory efforts related to this subject. This report does not attempt to quantify the water quality impacts associated with boating. It is clear, however, that water quality impacts associated with boating can be locally significant, -(Vernam and Connell, 1984; Robinson and Horzepa, 1988). Areas where boats are concentrated, such as marinas, consistently reflect increased fecal coliform and total coliform counts (Vernam and Connel, 1984). These elevated counts affect shellfish classification resulting in the condemnation of beds. This degradation of water quality also makes primary contact recreation unattractive if not unhealthy. Although the boating public is a visable contributor to water pollution, it would be unfair and incorrect to point to them as the major source of water quality degradation. In fact, studies have found that water pollution attributable to boating is minimal when compared to nonpoint sources such as runoff (Faust, 1978). Nonetheless, a successful attempt at 5 curtailing the pollution of New Jersey's . coastal waters must necessarily address all identifiable sources. This report is designed to concentrate on but one aspect of this problem, the sewage effluent generated by New Jersey's coastal commercial and recreational fleet. 6 II. Marine Sanitation Devices and Pumpout Facilities Marine Sanitation Devices, or MSDs, are defined by Section 312 of the Federal Clean Water Act as any equipment installed permanently on board a vessel which is designed to receive, retain, treat or discharge sewage, The Clean Water Act prohibits the discharge of raw sewage in U.S.. Territorial waters; therefore all vessels equipped with a permanent head or toilet must use an approved MSD. Three types of MSDs are certified by the U.S. Coast Guard pursuant to the Clean Water Act. These types are described as follows (USCG, 1986): Type I Sewage is ground up (macerated) and disinfected in a flow-through system, and the effluent is discharged overboard with no visable floating solids and less than. 1000 fecal coliform/100 ml. Type II Sewage is macerated and disinfected in a flow-through system, and the effluent discharged must have less than 150 mg/1 suspended solids and less than 200 fecal coliform/100 ml. Type III Includes recirculating and incinerating MSD's and holding tanks. Holding tanks are the most common Type III MSD found on recreational boats, where sewage is stored on board until it can be pumped out to an onshore treatment facility. 7 While Type III MSD's do not provide any treatment of the sewage, they do retain the sewage on board un til it can be properly discharged on land. A Type III system therefore has the least impact on water quality, followed by Type II and then by Type I. Unfortunately, many Type III MSDs have been fitted with "Y" valves allowing the illegal direct discharge of raw sewage (Tanski, 1988). The U.S. Coast Guard regulations state that vessels under 65 feet in length are not required to have an MSD unless a permanent head is installed. All vessels over 65 feet in length must be equipped with either a Type II or Type III unit. Both the Type I and Type II MSD's require power to operate. As a result, smaller boats and sailboats with on board heads are more likely to be equipped with Type III MSD's. In addition to the U.S. Coast Guard regulations, the Federal Clean Water Act allows any state to completely prohibit the discharge of sewage from all vessels, whether treated or not, into waters which that state determines require greater protection and enhancement (Section 312). That prohibition, however, may not take effect until the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency, (US EPA) determines that adequate facilities for the safe and sanitary removal and treatment of sewage from all vessels are reasonably available, for such waters to which the prohibition would apply. Since such a prohibition of discharge applies to treated as well as untreated sewage, it would be unlawful to use a flow-through marine sanitation device (ie Type I and II MSDs) within designated waters. The 8 solutions for the boater are to secure the head while operating in the "No Discharge" area, or to retrofit the vessel with a holding tank.

Type II MSD's may also require periodic pumpout of sludges accumulated in the treatment process. Pumpout units generally function like a vacuum cleaner: driven by an electric motor, the unit creates differential pressure which sucks the sewage from the holding tank, through an orifice in the ship's hull or deck. Three individual pumpout designs are available; marina-wide systems, portable systems, and slipside systems. Marina-wide systems consist of one or two fixed facilities located in an accessible area such as a fuel dock where boats dock temporarily while the holding tank is emptied (figure 1). The evacuation process time is estimated at five minutes from start to end for standard 40 gallon holding tanks. Fixed marina-wide systems can be hooked directly into a sanitary sewer system or into a larger, on shore, holding tank which would in turn be pumped out by a sewage or septic scavenger hauler. The onshore connection may in part dictate the placement of the fixed pumpout unit; however, accessibility is of primary importance in utility. The cost of a fixed pumpout unit is approximately $4000 not including installation charges (KECO, 1988). Installation costs will vary depending on the availability of sewer and electric access, but generally can be accomplished for about $1000-$1200. Portable pumpout systems are similar to the marina-wide system in component and function. Two differences are that the components are mobile being mounted on a cart, and a 30-40 gallon holding tank is usually employed to contain the pumped sewage, since hundreds of feet of hose may otherwise be needed (figure 2). The sewage is then discharged from the mobile unit FIGURE 2 SPECIFICATIONS PORTABLE PUMP-OUT SYSTEM FOR HOLDING TANKS * 110/220 Volt AC Explosion- proof Motor * Fiberglass Housing * Weighs only 126 lbs. 20 feet of Non-collapsing Hose 1-1 / 2' Dla. 20 foot Fresh Water Back Flush Hose 10 foot Fresh Water Pick-up Hose � Special Installation � All Fittings are Quick Con- nect Type INSTALLATION: CONTROLS:' OPTION: OPTION: Easy Installation any place with Simple indicator knob positions Special permanent installations Portable 100 gallon trailer fresh water supply (city, well, all cycle functions (pump-out, are possible for convenient lo- mounted holding tank and Vac- lake or river) and 110/220 volt, back flush, back flush pump cations.

U.S. Patent No. 3,780,757 10 into either a sanitary sewer system or larger permanent holding tank. The advantage of a portable unit is accessibility, as it can be positioned at any slip in the marina for use, provided electricity is available. The disadvantage is in the time and manpower needed to move and empty the unit. The average cost of a commercially ava@lable portable pumpout unit is also estimated at $4,000 (NEUMAN 1988; KECO, 1988), although the inventive have built working units for $500-$1000. Installation costs are negligible, assuming electricity is provided slip side. If electric is not provided throughout the marina, a fixed unit would be a better option. The third pumpout system is referred to as a slipside system, wherein each slip has access to the pumpout system (figure 3). These systems are recommended for live-aboard marinas where continuous attachment to the sewer system is necessary. Slipside systems are generally large requiring more vacuum pressure and a great deal of vacuum hose and interfacing. The cost of the system and its installation is much higher than the previously described systems, starting at $20,000 (UZAR, Pers. Comm.), making it impractical for most marinas. The advantage of this system is constant and convenient accessibility by slips. Portable toilets are not required to be equipped with an MSD pursuant to the Federal Clean Water Act because they are not stationary. Most portable toilets function like a holding tank but require a dump station in lieu of a pumpout unit. It is therefore necessary to provide convenient emptying receptacles for portable toilets to reduce illegal overboard disposal. Emptying receptacles for portable toilets vary from nothing more than a dedicated restroom stall to more elaborate contrivances shaped like a FIGURE 3 The engineered solution for marina sewage collection Was O&WW PVCPIMW ON*-WAO""C &OW"Oft VAW%m Am 1W Do aboWd vasOM %Ewe ENVIROVAC sewage collection systems System description mains.

These receptacles are not costly assuming that the marina is sewered though a bit of imagination may be required. Recently, commercially available units have come on the market and cost roughly $1000 (figure 4). Related to the provision of pumpout facilities and portable toilet emptying receptacles are concerns over the impact that marine waste has on the sewage treatment system. John Laurita, of the DEP's Division of Water Resources, Bureau of Municipal Waste Management, does not believe that the waste flows generated from pumpouts will be large enough to have a significant adverse effect on the treatment plant's operation: the marine waste is diluted by the large volumes of residential waste handled by municipal or regional facilities. Other concerns related to sanitary sewer hookups involve permitting. Currently, no reliable estimate of the wasteflow generated from a pumpout facility is available, but it is assumed that the wasteflow is less than the 2,000 gallons per day threshold; therefore no State permit is required. Permission to hookup is required from the utility authority operating the sewage treatment plant. Where sanitary sewer lines are not available, because the site is located outside of a sewer service area or is within an area where a sewer connection ban is imposed, the alternative is to discharge to a septic system, or to a large holding tank and have the waste collected and disposed of by a private scavenger hauler.

This is attributable to any of three sources of problems: 1) the salt water used to flush the on board head may damage metal piping or other metal surfaces of the treatment system; 2) chlorination or bther disinfectant and preservative chemicals may destroy the bacteria and consequently the microbial d6c'-om'R-9-'s'l.-lLlo-'n"--whi-ch* is--i-n-t-r-insi-6- to-thie--treatment -of -waste in septic and other treatment systems; or 3) the waste load may be too concentrated and overtax the system. Any of these complications could render the treatment ineffectual resulting in pollution emanating from the system itself. The strength of the waste and types and concentrations of preservatives found in recreational vehicle (RV) holding tanks are essentially the same as the. contents of marine holding tanks. A study conducted by Sanitary Engineering Research Laboratory, University of California, Berkeley, June 1980 titled "Recreational Vehicle Waste Disposal in Roadside Rest Septic Tank Systems" concludes that the quality of effluent leaving the septic system through the leachate field is not significantly degraded by the addition of RV waste. The study does acknowledge that the addition of formaldehyde reduces the rate of microbial decomposition of slugde accumulated in the septic tanks; resulting in the need for more frequent tank pumpage (Berkeley, 1980). While private licensed scavenger haulers are registered by the DEP Division of Solid Waste Management, there is no obligation on the part of the hauler to discharge at any one location, and the waste itself is not tracked by the Department. If the waste is properly handled by the hauler, 13 it is introduced into a public sewage treatment plant at a point specified by the municipal or regional utilities authority. However, there is no method of tracking hauled waste with any degree of confidence. One must consider the possibility that an unscrupulous marina operator or septage hauler might, for the sake of convenience or saving money, -the- -collected: sewage- illegally. and untreated- While this practice ............ is probably not common, the possibility can be avoided by having pumpouts discharge to sanitary sewer collector lines which lead to large sewage treatment plants wherever possible. 14 III. Supply of Pumpouts in New Jersey All activities taking place in New Jersey's tidal waters require a Waterfront Development Permit from the DEP issued under the. authority of N.J.S.A. 12:5-3. The Rules on Coastal Resources and Development, (N.J.A.C. 7:7E-1.1 et seq.) are applied to Waterfront Development Permit- Applications to evaluate the proposal's compliance.. or. conflict with the -Department's goals and objectives. The Department has been requiring MSD pumpout facilities as a condition of approval for new or expanded marinas of 10 or more slips since February 6, 1986. Since 1986, the DEP's Division of Coastal Resources has reviewed 125 applications for boating facilities with 10 or 'more slips. Nearly half of those applications were for maintenance dredging or dock rehabilitation and included no expansion. They were, therefore, not subject to the pumpout requirement. The Division has issued 48 permits with a condition requiring a pumpout facility, and has another 19 applications pending. This includes condominium and townhouse developments in addition to traditional marinas. Since these condominium docks are not likely to be open to the general boating public, they were differentiated from traditional marinas. Two of the marinas at which pumpouts are required are involved in permit appeal proceedings, and two others are known to be in violation of their permits. These findings were compared with information gathered by John Tiedemann, of the New Jersey Sea Grant Program, as part of his ongoing MSD 15 pumpout usage study. Tiedemann's study identified only existing pumpouts. Contrasting these lists resulted in the identi fication of 14 pumpouts not required by permit and the confirmation of nine pumpouts required by permit conditions that are in operation.

The Division is currently tracking- the 35 approved permits where pumpouts have not been confirmed to ensure compliance with permit conditions. Lastly, the supply study involved the identification of all publicly owned or operated marinas in the state. Section 3 of the 1988 Marine Sewage Treatment Act requires all publicly owned or operated marinas, which accomodate vessels equipped with marine sanitation devices, to provide sewage pumpout facilities and portable toilet emptying receptacles. The initial cataloguing of these facilities was obtained by researching the Boating Almanac (BA, 1987). This survey lists 23 State, county, and municipal marinas in New Jersey. 16 PUBLICLY OWNED MARINAS State 6 County I Municipa'l 16 At present, the Division has found none of these public marinas provide pumpout facilities. The DEP's Division of Parks and Forestry has purchased five pumpout units which will be installed at the State operated marinas prior to the 1989 boating season. The sixth State marina is located on Division of Fish, Game and Wildlife lands and operated privately. Compliance will be achieved through the operator's leases. Further, the Division of Coastal Resources has secured funding for two pumpouts from the National Oceanic'and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) for placement in the Navesink River; one of which will be placed at the Red Bank Municipal Boat Basin this year. In addition, the Division has sent a letter to all coastal municipalities requesting information needed to assess the applicability of this Marine Sewage Treatment Act to each individual municipality and alerting municipal officials of their responsibility under the Act. All existing and pending pumpout facilities have been located on the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, (NOAA) Nautical Charts, keyed to a master list (Appendix 1) and symbolized to represent the status of the respective pumpout facilities, (figure 5). 14 4 19 20 29 5 36r-" 40 Z Z- 25 16 W-7- Sit wo, it F 19 C 5 28 2# 14 40 w 6 S Sh 4 19 14 20 Or go 22 9 10 3 Is I/ Is 24 Oft two 29 34 >1 0/',,, 12 Is to 25 0 Z,,, PC* ;' T 1 9 14 20 25, 27 33 a', 16 22 27 29 22 11,1011,1611 19 17 6 26 32 00 21 12 17 20 21 23 3 is* 24 _4 21 22 27 IC CITY SET 16 19 >4 24 7 3 10 20 OvM A,va is 22 14 25 23 2 9 1 is 21 10 4 14 - 20 21 21 16 mewh 17 16 2.

As of October of 1988, a total of 23 publicly accessible MSD pumpout facilities were known to be on line, a 75 percent increase over 1986. An additional 35 pumpouts may be operational now or in the near future, as a result of permit conditions. Adding to these the pending appii cations _-and p0iilic_ m-arinas,-as_many-as 101 pumpout. faci Ti ti.e s may exist in the foreseeable future. The 1988 Marine Sewage Treatment Act also mandates that the DEP investigate the treatment and disposal of collected wastewater. Information is currently available for 22 of the existing pumpout facilities. As additional pumpout facilities are put into operation, the Division is requesting that the method of sewage treatment be specified. METHOD OF TREATMENT FROM EXISTING PUMPOUTS Treatment Type System Type Marina Wide Portable Total Public Sewage Treatment 13 3 16 Plants Private Sewage Treatment 1 0 1 Plants Licensed septage hauler 2 3 5 Septic system 0 0 0 (source: Tiedemann 1988) The discharge of sewage into a public sanitary sewage system simplifies the tracking of the treatment and discharge as required by the 1988 Marine 21 Sewage Treatment Act. In these cases only the sewer service area must be identified. Where licensed haulers are employed the wa-ste is introduced into a sewage treatment plant; however the particular plant is not specified by the DEP as part of the license. Mr. Tiedemann surveyed marina owners and operators to determine how they were handling portable toilet wastes. Answers ranged from a dedicated location with a special collection device, (11%), to a dedicated restroom stall (44%), to allowing emptying into the restroom without promoting the practice (41%), to requiring the boat owner to take it home (4%). The optimal situation is to provide a location equipped with a specially designed collection device. Restroom stall usage is often quite messy and a continual maintenance headache for the marina operator. Requiring the b@oatowner to *remove the waste and carry it home is the worst scenario. The inconvenience of this method coupled with possible spillage during emptying is likely to encourage overboard discharge. 22 IV. Demand for Pumpouts in New Jersey The most difficult element of this study is producing a reliable estimate of demand. Since January 30, 1980, all vessels over 65 feet in length has been required to install a Type II or Type III marine sanitation device (MSD). Vessels 65 feet or less are required to install a Type I, II or III MSD only if they have a permanent head on board. Unfortunately there does not appear to be any good data indicating which boats under 65 feet have permanent heads and where those boats are located. The US EPA estimated that 20 percent of the vessels from 16-26 feet, 50 percent of the vessels from 26-40 feet and all vessels over 40 -feet are equipped with an MSD (US EPA, 1981). The 'New Jersey Division of Motor Vehicles (NJ DMV) lists 187 000 registered boats in New Jersey, but was unable to break this number down by vessel size, method of locomotion or location (Torlini, Pers. Comm.). The N.J. Marine Police annual report to the U.S. Coast Guard reported 150,125 vessels in New Jersey's 1987 registered fleet (USCG, 1987). These latter figures are extrapolated from earlier data which accounts for the discrepency in the totals; however since these figures are broken down by vessel size they are used in all following calculations. 23 N.J. Recreational Boating Fleet 1987 under 16 feet 62,033 16-26 feet 76,727 26-40 feet 10,723 40-65 feet 597 over 65 feet 45 TOTAL 150,125 (source: Nat'l. Marine Manufacturers Assoc. as reported to U.S. Coast Guard 1987 and confirmed by N.J. Marine Police) Utilizing the US EPA formula, a total of 21,348 vessels are expected to have MSDs or 14 percent of the total New Jersey fleet. This f igure is comparable to studies conducted in North Carolina and Lonj Island which found 8-10 percent of the total fleet were equipped with MSDs, (Rogers S. and Abbas L. 1982; Tanski, 1988). The New Jersey Marine Trades Association assumes vessels from 18 to 25 feet are most likely to employ portable toilets. The figures secured from the National Marine Manufacturers Assn. define a class of vessels from 16 to 26 f eet. The DEP cannot predict the number of vessels between 18 and 25 feet with accuracy; therefore certain assumptions have been made to allow a discussion of the usage of portable toilets. First, we assume that half of the vessels in the 16 to 26 foot range are using either an MSD or portable toilet. This calculation allows for the 24 elimination of 16 to 18 foot craft which fall outside of the definition as well as those vessels 18 feet or over which do not have cabins, (which makes the use of a portable toilet indiscrete and unpractical). Secondly, all vessels over 26 feet are assumed to use either an MSD or portable toilet. ESTIMATED DEMAND FOR SEWAGE COLLECTION Vessel # of Vessels # of Vessels of Vessels Class Total w/MSD (US EPA) w/portable toilets under 16 62,033 0 0-0 feet 16 to 26 76,727 15,345 23,018 feet 26 to 40 10,723 5,361 5361 feet 40 to 65 597 597 0 feet - over 65 45 45 0 feet TOTALS 150,125 21,348 28,379 % of Total 100% 14% 19% It should be noted that some undefined percentage of the 28,379 vessels utilizing portable toilets are undoubtedly docked in*close proximity to the owner's residence; not requiring access to an emptying receptacle at a marina. Pumpout facilities, on the other hand, are relatively costly, and are not likely to be purchased by a private party; therefore it is expected that all equipped vessels will seek a facility available to the public. 25 Usage data from the existing pumpout facilities has been compiled by John Tiedemann from a survey conducted of 16 marina operators. In general, the usage of those facilities was lower than expected in 11 cases, one marina reported moderate usage, and four marinas reported relatively high usage (Tiedemann, 1988). Considering the low number of pumpouts on line, these figures are particularly disappointing. Pumpout Facility Usage of Marinas of uses per season 5/88 9/88 3 0 5 10 3 30 1 80 2 240 2 350 (source: Tiedemann 1988) 26 V. Conclusion The intent of the 1988 Marine Sewage Treatment Act is clearly to reduce if not eliminate the discharge of sewage from watercraft into New Jersey's coastal waters by making MSD pumpout fac'ilities and portable toilet emptying receptacles available to the boating public. The Department of Environmental Protection, through the Division of Coastal Resources, has attempted to address this source of pollution since 1986 through Waterfront Development Permits. Since that time, the Division has required pumpout facilities at 48 new or expanded marinas, and 19 other pending applications if approved will also require pumpout units. When added to the 14 pumpouts known to be operational without permit requirements and the twenty publicly owned or operated marinas which will be required to provide pumpout facilfties under this Act, a total of 101 pumpout units could be expected to be on line in the foreseeable future. This would be a dramatic improvement over the 13 pumpouts on line in 1987. Applying a goal projected by the USEPA of one pumpout per 200 vessels equipped with an MSD, (US EPA, 1985) this total falls only six short. However, this formula is not considered sufficient by the US EPA for approving "No Discharge" designations because it fails to consider the basic requirements of pumpout usability: location, cost, and accessibility. The US EPA evaluates "No Discharge" applications under the following general standards: 1) the maximum distance from port to pumpout is not more 27 than one or two miles; 2) the pumpout must be readily accessible; 3) the maximum wait expected for peak usa ge, (eg. Fourth of July weekend in the evening) is not more than 15 minutes; and 4) the cost is not prohibitive, not more than $20 (Amson, pers. comm.). These four criteria are the keys to making pumpout units available to al oaters. An analysis of the 101 existing and proposed pumpout locations reveals that large reaches of, and entire waterways would remain unserviced. This is partially attributable to the lack of direction afforded by a process which relies on permit applications for pumpout placement. Presently, there are only 23 known pumpout units servicing New Jersey's coast; consequently there are few. candidate waterbodies which could qualify for "No Discharge" designation under the adequate sewage collection and treatment provisions of the US EPA. The only areat possibly providing adequate pumpout facilities are the Shark River, Morris Canal Basin (designation pending before the US EPA), the Metedeconk River, and Toms River. In spite of the relative scarcity of pumpout facilities, many of those in operation exhibit extremely low usage. This is attributable to either poor access, high cost, or indifference on the part of the boater. A successful program aimed at reducing overboard discharge must comprehensively address these issues, as well as simply provide more pumpouts. 28 VI. Options In order to increase the availability and use of sewage collection facilities on New Jersey's coastal waters, the Department of Environmental Protection is considering a variety of' options which are described below. The Department will provide the Legislature with more definitive recommendations in a subsequent report required by Section 4 of the Act to be submitted by May 1. More definitive information relative to MSD equipped vessels and portable toilet users is desirable. Two techniques of gaining this information are to survey registered boat owners or to conduct extensive field reconnaissance. While the time required to assemble and analyze the data precludes its use in an expedent solution to the pumpout shortage, this information is necessary to evaluate the effectiveness of any remedy to the watercraft sewage disposal problem. Possible immediate actions to decrease the amount of marine generated sewage discharge into near shore water are explored below. 1) Continue to require pumpout units as conditions of DEP permit approval with certain modifications to help speed the process. The advantages to this process are that no new regulation would be needed and that the permit applied for would serve as an incentive to provide the pumpout unit. A possible modification to the process would require pumpouts to be located at marinas which are applying for maintenance dredging or dock repair permits. Such a requirement this would have added 77 additional 29 pumpouts since 1986. Since dredging and dock repair work allows a marina to continue to operate, and to continue to affect coastal waters, this requirement is not entirely unreasonable. The disadvantages of this process aare that it remains slow and it does not allow the Department to specify where pumpout facilities are required. 2) Require pumpout facilities at every marina which provides dockage to vessels equipped with an MSD. This is the approach taken by the State of Delaware in legislation enacted in the summer of 1988. The advantage to this strategy is that it puts pumpouts in marinas where the vessels in need of those facilities are located. The disadvantages are that it is very difficult to enforce this regulation, owing to the mobility of vessels and the fact that those vessels may not dock at the same marina every year. In addition, this approach does not consider those vessels moored behind private homes. If no MSD-equipped boat is docked at a marina in the same watershed, private owners will have no facility at their disposal. This option would require additional legislation. 3) Require pumpout facilities at all marinas which provide fueling facilities for boats. This option is based on the premise that the vessels equipped with MSDs are relatively large, generally do not have removable fuel tanks, and are, therefore, relegated to fuel in the water. There are approximately 250 marinas in New Jersey which provide fuel. Located on 30 virtually every waterway in the state (BA, 1987). Where several marinas providing fuel are located in close proximity, a provision could be made allowing those operators to jointly fund and operate a pumpout facility, avoiding unnecessary duplication of facilities. Advantages of this option are that fueling facilities are relatively stationary providing for easier enforcement, most provide an attendant who could oversee the facility's use and assist boat owners, and fuel docks are easily accessible to large craft. The major drawback of this proposal involves sailing vessels which may not require in-water fueling, requiring those vessels to go out of their way to access a pumpout facility. It is unlikely under this scenario, however, that. such a trip would take the captain more than one mile off course. 4) In addition to siting adequate pumpout facilities in useful and useable locations, consideration should be given to requiring these facilities to be open to transient vessels and keeping the cost to would be users reasonable. The State may wish to subsidize the initial cost of purchase and installation of the facilities which would not only ease the financial burden on the marina owner, b`Ut would also provide a mechanism whereby the State could oversee the pumpout location, require the facility to be available to transient boaters and keep the price per use reasonable. 5) Live-aboard vessels provide overnight residence to its occupants thereby having a productivity to generate greater volumes of waste than recreational boats. Without the provision of continuous sewer service to 31 these vessels, the incidence of overboard disposal is expected to increase. All marinas providing live-aboard arrangements may be required to provide continuous or regular interval slipside pumpout service. 6) Since, as a matter of convenience, many boat owners will empty portable toilets overboard rather than transport the waste home and a substantial number of boaters utilize portable toilets, each marina should provide a dedicated location for the emptying of portable toilets. It may be left to the marina operator's discretion whether a restroom stall is dedicated or a special collection device is installed, as it is ultimately the marina operators who are responsible for maintaining their bathrooms. 7) The requirement for public restrooms at all new or expanded marinas should be continued. This requirement may be applied to condominium docks as well as to traditional marinas, since there are undoubtedly incidents where slip space is sublet or friends not possessing a key to the home will use the dock. Restrooms should be provided in proportion to the number of slips available. 8) Due to the obvious difficulty in enforcing sewage disposal regulations and the manpower such an effort would demand, there is an acute need for public education in this area. Boaters should be informed of the locations and operation of pumpout facilities and portable toilet emptying locations as well as the environmental degradation produced by overboard disposal. The Department should work with the New Jersey Marine Trade Association, New Jersey Sea Grant and others to create a brochure for 32 distribution at marinas - and with boat registration forms. Such a campaign should enhance the use of sewage collection facilities. 9) The DEP's Division of Coastal Resources should continue to enforce previously issued permits requiring pumpout facilities to ensure those facilities are on line prior to new slip occupation. 10) The State should consider prohibiting the installation of "Y" valves on vessels equipped with Type III MSDs which allow the discharge of untreated sewage into New Jersey's coastal waters. This would require new Legislation. 11) The DEP should continue to pursue the application to the US EPA for the designation of the Morris Canal Basin as a "No-Discharge" area under the Clean Water Act. The DEP should also continue to assess all waters of New Jersey to determine which require greater water quality protection, and apply to the US EPA for a "No-Dis charge" designation to afford that protection. The DEP will continue to explore these and other ideas in consultation with the New Jersey Marine Trades Association, the New Jersey Sea Grant Marine Advisory Service, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and all interested citizens. Specific plans for administrative action and recommendations for legislative actions aimed at reducing the impact of boating on water quality will be presented in a subsequent report to the Legislature as required by the 1988 Marine Sewage Treatment Act before May 1, 1989. 33 The Department welcomes comments and suggestions on this issue.
