In 1992, Congress passed the Clean Vessel Act to help reduce pollution from vessel sewage discharges into U.S. waters. The Grant Program established by the Act will help fund the construction, renovation, operation, and maintenance of pumpout and dump stations to service pleasure craft. The Grant Program is authorized through 2002.
As part of its commitment to provide clean, safe, and enjoyable recreational boating in California, the Department of Boating and Waterways is serving as the State Grant coordinator. The Department will also provide boater education programs to promote public awareness about boat sewage and its proper disposal.
