Seeing as the Puget Sound is experiencing a loss of habitats from
pollution, I view any effort to clean it up as positive. But then, I'd
rather see the government spend its efforts on cleaning up the
environment then starting wars for more pollutants. Guess it's a
matter of priorities.

From Scuttlebutt:
BIG GOVERNMENT - BIG MESS
For 34 years the U.S. federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
has
exempted discharges from recreational boats from the Clean Water
Act permit
system. A recent court ruling cancelled this permit exemption. EPA is
required by the court decision to develop and implement by
September 30, 2008
a national permit system for ALL vessels in the United States for a
variety
of normal operational discharges like grey water, engine cooling
water and
deck runoff. BoatU.S. along with other industry groups has been
working
behind the scenes to come up with a legislative fix for this huge
problem. If
nothing is done to solve this issue, you will have to pay for a
permit for
each boat that you operate including your dinghy, Laser, or
motorboat in each
state! -- Scuttleblog, read on:
