Re: Stus-List New Head and holding tank system.

[Bill Bina]

Designated No Discharge Zones mean NO discharge. In many of these zones, they are just as worried about adding nutrients as anything else. They don't care how you pretreated the stuff, you cannot pump it overboard in places such as Narragansett Bay, Rhode Island, which are designated No-Discharge. You can legally discharge from a Lectrasan system within 3 miles of shore, EXCEPT in a designated no-discharge zone. Untreated effluent cannot be discharged within 3 miles anywhere.

The only downside I found to the installation I experienced was the need to climb up onto the head – this one was pretty tall.   I removed the holding tank on my 38 a few years ago and installed in its place a Lectra-San, a 9 gallon tank, and a group 24 deep cycle battery to power the Lectra-San and the windlass. In the past 4 years or so I’ve never had to worry about a pumpout or overboard discharge – though I have had to explain to a couple of Coasties and USCG Auxilliary folks what “No Discharge” means and the CG rules for a type I MSD.   Rick Brass
