Introduction
Background & History
Rhode Island is known as the Ocean state and takes pride in protecting its beaches, waters and
wildlife. Under “The Federal Water Pollution Control Act Amendments of 1972,” the United States
Congress passed the Clean Water Act. Later amended in 1987, the Clean Water Act targeted point source
pollution; established it to be illegal for vessels to discharge any untreated (raw) sewage within a three-
mile radius of the United State’ shores, the Great Lakes, and navigable rivers. Sections 1251(A) of the
Clean Water Act objectives are “to restore and maintain the chemical, physical and biological integrity of
the nation's waters.” Its national goals as stated in the Act are “the elimination of the discharge of
pollutants into navigable waters for an interim goal of water quality sufficient to provide for the protection
and propagation of fish, shellfish, and wildlife and for recreation in and on the water”.
To further improve and preserve the water quality of Rhode Island waters the state had to petition the
Environmental Protection Agency for additional protection. After meeting the prerequisites of the EPA,
August 10, 1998, the State of Rhode Island declared its territorial seas as a No Discharge Area (NDA).
As a NDA, vessels are prohibited from discharging treated and untreated sewage waste within three miles
of the coastlines.
With a high dependence on marine resources such as seafood, the additional protection is needed. The
dumping of sewage is restricted because it can contain environmentally taxing nutrients, toxic chemicals
and disease causing microorganisms that can lead to diminish the water quality making it harmful to
human health as well as aquatic life. Microorganisms are considered to be disease causing bacteria and
pathogens that can cause illnesses, such as hepatitis, typhoid fever and gastroenteritis. Microorganisms
can also contribute to beach closures and contamination of shellfish beds, which are vital for the economy
of RI. Releasing sewage into water bodies also causes an over-abundant production of nutrients.
Nutrients are necessary for aquatic plant growth, but an excessive amount in a body of water can
encourage massive oxygen depleting algae blooms. Having low oxygen available to the water can lead to
the loss of plants, fish, shellfish and aquatic life. Additionally, the chemicals found in vessels’ discharge
can be toxic to the marine and estuary life. An alternative for discharging a vessels’ holding tanks
anywhere is to use a nearby pump-out facility.

4. 4
Using Pump-outs
With 16 mobile and 51 stationary facilities, there are plenty of locations to empty a vessels’
holding tanks and abide the rules of the NDA. Limiting the amount of nutrients, chemicals and
microorganisms contributes to improving and preserving the water quality. Pump-out facilities, mobile or
stationary, are found at yacht clubs, marinas, and town docks around Rhode Island.
The stationary facilities are located on a dock, typically by the fuel pumps in the marina with
plenty of room for a boat to maneuver and easily dock to pump-out. Stationary facilities can be staff-run
or self- service. If the pump-out is self-service, the directions for use must be clearly displayed and
carefully followed by the operator to avoid accidental spills or illegal discharge.
Mobile pump-outs are powerboats with a pump-out facility on board. Customers can arrange an
appointment by calling the pump-out boat or displaying a bright orange pennant with the pump-out
symbol on it somewhere on their boat. The pump-out boats travel directly to the boaters, emptying out
their holding tanks. Typically there is a five-dollar charge for the mobile pump-out boats’ service and
tipping is customary but not required.
NDA and Compliance
The outreach programs are aimed at educating the boating community about the importance of
properly disposing of untreated waste from a boat’s holding tank from an environmental and legal
standpoint. The random inspections are supposed to show the pump-out facility operators that there are
concerned parties taking an interest in the proper maintenance and operation of their facilities. The
inspections of boats equipped with a marine sanitation device (MSD) are also conducted to ensure that
they are in proper working order and the Y valves, which allow the untreated sewage in holding tanks to
be dumped in open water, are sealed shut while in Rhode Island waters. The seals on these valves can be
removed easily to allow discharge of their holding tanks out side of state waters. Most New England
states have been designated as no discharge areas by the EPA from Connecticut to New Hampshire and
parts of Maine have obtain this no discharge designation. The random inspections are conducted to ensure
that these valves remain sealed in protected waters and to cite those who are in violation. This paper will
only review the inspections and its results of the pump-out facilities and not of the individual boats
currently in Rhode Island. The Environmental Police, Harbor Masters, or the United States Coast Guard
carries out enforcement. It is important to maintain a level of enforcement along with the MSD inspection
program to reinforce the no discharge concept.

5. 5
Yearly inspections of pump-out facilities are conducted by the Rhode Island Department of
Environmental Management (RI DEM) Office of Water; to ensure the pump-out facilities are being
properly maintained, operational and meet Clean Vessel Act grant requirements. These inspections occur
at random throughout the summer by the RI DEM’s Seasonal Technical Support Intern. Inspections have
specific criteria that examine: facility maintenance, proper signage, accessibility, and user friendliness of
the facilities themselves. The inspection checklist can be found in Appendix A.
The main focus of this paper is to report NDA compliance in Rhode Island. Inspection results are
reported and analyzed to determine whether or not Clean Vessel Act (CVA) grant recipients are
complying with Rhode Island’s NDA program. Other major factors reported consist of annual sewage
volumes pumped out by boaters, and suggestions on how to improve the program as a whole.
Inspections
To promote the use, installation and up-keep of pump-out facilities, towns, marinas, and yacht
clubs can apply for CVA grants provided by the Federal Fish and Wildlife Services. The CVA grants are
intended to increase pump-out availability and make compliance with the NDA affordable. When
approved to receive the grant, CVA reimburses 75% of the installation cost for new pump-out facilities
and will also help to maintain existing units that have a life expectancy of ten year. As a reimbursement
grant, the recipient must sign and date the grant agreement before any money is spent. If receipts of
purchase are dated before the signed and dated grant agreement, no money can be awarded. Typically, up
to $18,750 is available for a stationary facility and up to $56,000 for each mobile facility. The most
recent CVA Grant Announcement was sent out September 2013.
If a pump-out facility is a CVA grant recipient, they are firmly expected to meet the requirements
outlined in the Grant Award Agreement; signed by both the responsible facility personnel and the DEM
coordinator. This ten-year agreement contains federal grant requirements of: appropriate signage,
maintaining the facility, not charging over five (5) dollars per 30 gallons pumped, as well as other
additional necessities. The Seasonal Technical Support Intern inspects the Grant Award Agreement
compliance and reports the results in the annual Rhode Island Pump-out Facility Report.
The following section describes the inspection procedure and reports the inspection results from
the RI Pump-out Facilities. During the Summer of 2014, the following criteria were assessed; clear
posting of current international pump-out facility sign, complete and accurate directions for self-service
pumps, inspection and maintenance records, passing of a five gallon pump test, accessibility for boaters in

6. 6
water and the cleanliness of the facility. Also, the number of gallons from the previous season was
recorded. Lastly, the intern took note of the recent repairs and/or improvements, hours of operations, fees
and type of disposal system for the facility to track where waste is sent. This year’s updated inspection
checklist can be found in Appendix A.
Description
As of 2014, there are sixty-seven (67) facilities in Rhode Island that contain mobile ore stationary
pump-out stations. These facilities are located throughout Newport Harbor, Melville-East Passage,
Sakonnet River, Bristol Harbor, Warren River, Barrington River, Bullock’s Cove, Providence River,
Pawtuxet Cove, Warwick Cove, Apponaug Cove, Greenwich Bay, Greenwich Cove, Allen Harbor,
Wickford Harbor, Jamestown and Dutch Island Harbor, Point Judith Pond, Ninigret Pond, Little
Narragansett Bay, and surrounding Block Island. In order for the NDA program to function properly,
boaters must know there these facilities are located and the facilities must be operating correctly.
Proper Signage- All of the CVA Grant Recipients are required to have the international pump-out
sign posted, which is provided by the DEM. It is essential the station as at least on international sign
leading boaters in the appropriate direction for quick and easy access. An ideal place for the pump-out
sign is on a piling facing boater traffic, at the point of entry to the marina. Marinas such as Brewer’s
Cove Haven Marina, and Stanley’s Boat Yard in Barrington RI demonstrate this model behavior by
having a pump-out sign on a piling on the outskirts of the marina that is easy for boaters to view upon
entering the marina area.
When used correctly, the international pump-out facility signs make it easy for boaters to locate
stations. The signs consist of original black and red text printed over a white/silver reflective base. These
signs display essential information such as RIDEM’s website address and contact number, as well as the
pump-outs hours of operation. Hours of operation are especially important to have posted when the
facility is neither open 24/7 nor self-service, or if the pump-out station requires a user fee and/or token
use.
Directions- Due to the many models of pump-out facilities with manufacturers such as Edson
,
Sanisailor
, Keco
, and others, most pump-out stations function slightly different from the next. Due to
these differences, it is vital that each pump-out station has a complete set of directions and instructions
posted on or near the machine for proper self-service. This simple step can prevent malfunction, damage,

7. 7
or accidental spillage of raw sewage. Some marinas go a step further and pass out flyers with step-by-step
pump-out instructions; others may have specially made signs explaining the directions in further detail.
Quonset Davisville Yacht Club puts all members through a short training session going over the proper
pump-out procedure. They prohibit pump-out use to anyone that has not gone through the training
process.
Maintenance Records- It is a requirement of the CVA grant to keep records of the pump-out
station’s maintenance. This demonstrates the facility is maintaining an operational pump-out station and
is providing proper care for the unit. Maintenance records may include details such as when hose fittings
were replaced, if new plumbing was installed and if the system was winterized during the off season.
Pump Test- The pump-out program does not work unless the pump-outs are functional; meaning
the system is capable of removing sewage from a boat and guiding it to proper disposal in a timely
fashion. A properly operating pump-out station works the way the manufacturers intended it to, with all
the parts and fittings in place and a functioning pump system; whether it be a vacuum system, diaphragm,
peristaltic or a rotary lobe. Boaters prefer a system that is quick and user-friendly. During the facility
inspections, the seasonal technical support intern is required to perform a five (5) gallon pump-out test.
This test consists of placing the pump-out hose into a five-gallon bucket filled with fresh or salt water.
The technical support intern times how long it takes for the system to empty the bucket. A station passes
the pump-out test with a time under one minute to empty the bucket. The average bucket test time for
2014 is roughly 16.35 seconds to empty the five-gallon bucket. Allen Harbor has the quickest system that
emptied the buck in just less than five seconds. The New York Yacht Club, which is has never had a CVA
grant, had the slowest results with the operation taking 52 seconds to empty the bucket.
Accessibility- It is best if a pump-out facility is located in a secure spot and is easily accessible to
boaters docking. The dock set-up should account for differing boat sizes and provide multiple tie-ups.
Adjustable floating docks around the outskirts of a marina adjacent to the channel are an ideal set up for a
pump-out. This set up allows maximum space for trouble-free docking. Jamestown East Ferry Town
Dock exemplifies this set-up style; there is a floating dock closest to the channel with a pump-out station
near the center of the dock surrounded by multiple boat tie-ups. It is easy to access and boats should have
little trouble, if any, when docking. Additionally, locating pump-out stations on gas docks is a convenient
set up for boaters. Some marinas such as Ram Point Marina and Barrington Yacht Club have their pump-
out station located on the fuel dock. When set up this way, boaters can have their gas and pump-out needs

8. 8
attended to simultaneously. Various marinas offer free pump-outs with the purchase of gas, such as
Wickford Ship Yard and Warwick Cove Marina.
Fee- The CVA grant permits all granted facilities the right to charge up to five dollars ($5) per
thirty (30) gallons of sewage pumped if the facility chooses to. However, privately funded facilities can
charge any amount of their choosing, such as Belle Vue Yachting Center/Point Judith Marina, which
charges seven dollars ($7) per pump-out for the public. Typically the pump-out charge reflects the
facility’s cost and fees to empty the holding tank and add treatment. However, a former cost-benefit
analysis determined that the income from a $5.00 fee per thirty gallons pumped would be financially
capable of supporting the holding tank waste removal cost. Other Marinas may offer free-pump outs to
facility members or slip holders, such as Harbor Light Marina and East Greenwich Yacht Club. All of the
town dock facilities and most marinas in Narragansett Bay offer a free pump-out service such as the
Rockwell Town Pier, Brewer Cove Haven Marina and Apponaug Harbor Marina.
Cleanliness- It is vital that all of the pump-out stations are clan and appealing to boaters. Any
type of sewage exposed around the pump-out station is grossly prohibited, as that would indicate
improper use or some type of leak in the system. For instance, if a pump-out station has a strong foul
odor, then there may be a leak in the hose or an improper connection. Stone Cove Marina in South
Kingstown ensures their facility is clean and appealing to boaters by keeping their hose and attachments
in a wooden box away from the sun’s rays, accompanied by an emergency sewage accidental spill kit.
The facility also ensures their pipes are clean on a regular basis by pumping diluted bleach through the
system, as well as three to five (3-5) gallons of fresh water between all pump-outs performed.
All of the factors listed above are essential measurements in determining inspection results of the
Rhode Island Pump-out Facilities.
Results
Out of the 68 facilities inspected, 63 were functional. The non-functional facilities are explained
in the upcoming section. Only one of the functioning facilities did not pass the one-minute, 5-gallon
pump-test. Quonset Davisville Navy Yacht club took over one minute during the inspection, however the
poor results could have been from user error and not allowing pressure to build up in the pump. Club
members reported that there have been no problems with the pump and it has been running great.
Fifty-one (51) of the fifty-two (52) CVA recipients had the appropriate sign posted. Stone Cove
Marina did not have a sign up, and the manager was informed that the international sign is a requirement

9. 9
under the grant. A sign was given to the marina during the 2012 season. New signs were given to
Norton’s Marina, Brewer Sakonnet Marina, Hunt Yachts, Bristol Marine, Quonset Davisville Navy Yacht
Club, Allen Harbor Marina, and Striper Marina.
Fifty-two (52) facilities offer pump-outs for five dollars or less. Thirty-two (32) of those facilities
offer free pump-out services to the public. A few additional facilities offer free pump-out with the
purchase of gas.
Non-Functional Facilities
RI, Payne’s Dock, Smuggler’s Cove Marina, Champlin’s Marina, and Block Island Boat Basin in
Block Island, RI are temporarily out of service.
Payne’s Dock, Smuggler’s Cove Marina, Champlin’s Marina and Block Island Boat Basin had
either mechanical problems or were not hooked up at time of inspection. Payne’s Dock has resolved their
issue with the pump-out system by replacing a fuse.
New Pump-outs for 2014
One new pump-out system has been introduced for the 2014 boating season. With the help of the
2013 CVA grant, Fox Point Marina in Providence RI, has purchased a new stationary pump-out system.
Renovated Systems
During the 2013 boating season, 12 different marinas took advantage of the CVA grant to help
with maintenance and renovation of their pre-existing pump-out stations.
Brewer Cove Haven Marina of Barrington, Brewer Sakonnet Marina of Portsmouth, RI, Wharf
Marina of Warwick, RI Jamestown East Ferry and James West Ferry of Jamestown, RI used the grants to
put in new stationary pump-outs and update their systems. Jamestown East and West Ferry plan on
replacing two pumps at each location.
Quonset Davisville Navy Yacht Club of Allen Harbor and the Westerly Yacht Club of Westerly,
RI received grants to update the hoses, valves, and bearings on their stationary pump-out system.
Brewer Greenwich Bay Marina of Warwick, RI, Norton’s Shipyard & Marina of East Greenwich,
RI, Bristol Marina of Bristol, RI and the Town of New Shoreham of Block Island, RI, received grants to
replace the motor and update their mobile pump-out boats.

Annual Volume Assessment
2013 Season Total
This year’s season pump-out total has decreased a bit from last year’s record year of 708,717
gallons. However during the 2013 season, an outstanding total of 697,695gallons of sewage was pumped
out from vessels in RI. This is the second highest total since the program began in 2000.
2014 Season Projected Total
The projected annual total for 2014 is an estimated 557,152 gallons of sewage to be removed.
This total is determined by using previous years’ totals and then calculating a Geometric Mean
(geomean), a reliable statistical measure. A geometric mean is calculated for each facility, and then each
facility’s geometric mean is added together to provide the final sum of projected annual gallons of sewage
pumped.
Unfortunately, the projected total does not account for new facilities introduced in 2013. This is
due to the fact there is no previous volume data to calculate a geomean. Therefore, any new facilities are
not included in the geomean total, and their volume will be calculated in the 2014 Report.
Trends over Time
After last years record year of 708,717 gallons of sewage, the 2013 total was just 2.6% less with a
respectable 697,695 gallons. With a slight decrease the amount of sewage pumped out is still 276%
higher than the first year total recorded in 2000. In fact, the pump-out program has prevented 6,760,343
gallons of untreated sewage from being discharged into RI’s waters. A visual display of the annual totals
and the trends over time can be found in Figure 1 of this report.
Enhancing Compliance With No Discharge Zone
Mobile Popularity
A large percentage of the sewage pumped out throughout the various bays and coves in Rhode
Island are pumped out via mobile pump-out station. After a remarkable number of gallons pumped out
last year pumped by the mobile fleet; this year’s numbers have dropped a bit, roughly 2,240 gallons a
boat. This does not mean that the popularity of a mobile pump out facility has decreased; in fact, multiple
pump-out boats have mentioned that more pump-out boats are needed because the demand is getting too
high for them to handle. The small decrease in the number of gallons pumped out by the boats can be due

11. 11
to the decrease of boats actually leaving marinas because of gas prices. Multiple marina and yacht club
workers have said that most the boats do not leave the docks and most of the time the members use the
clubs clean facilities instead of using their own boat’s facility. Compliance for pump-outs using mobile
boats is still high. Out of the 67 pump-out facilities, approximately 49% of the total sewage pumped out
last year came from the 16 mobile boats. Boaters tend to appreciate the convenience of having the service
come straight to them, while a professional conducts the pump-out. This is not only more convenient, but
is also a practical way in preventing accidental spillage from misuse.
Enforcement and Public Involvement
The following section lists multiple methods used to enforce no discharge compliance, as well as
ways the public can get involved or educated in the program.
Marine Patrol- One way the DEM enforces the pump-out program is by ensuring all boats with a
marine sanitation device (MSD) have an up-to-date MSD Inspection Sticker on board, which insures
proper configuration of the Y-valve. Since 2006, all boats with a MSD must obtain and display a decal
issued by an authorized Certification Agent. The list of Certification Agents can be found on the DEM
website. Decals are issued after an inspection to verify that the boat’s configuration is in compliance with
RI’s No Discharge Law and expire 4 years from the issue date. In addition, having DEM marine patrol
visibly present greatly increases the compliance of the no discharge area. The Newport mobile pump-out
service has reported that there is a notable difference in compliance when DEM enforcement patrols the
area, resulting in more pump-out requests. Boaters are more likely to illegally discharge when they do not
see enforcement present.
Pennant Flags- The Clean Vessel Act allows DEM to provide facilities with an orange pennant
flag, to be used when requesting mobile pump-out services. These flags are made available to all mobile
CVA grant recipients, and display the international pump-out sign and Sport Fish Restoration logo. No
new pennants were given out this year and facilities are aware that they can request more pennant flags at
anytime by contacting the DEM. When the marinas provide these flags to their customers, the boater can
then display the flag requesting a pump-out.
Handbook- Every year, DEM Environmental Police issue “The Handbook (!) Of Rhode Island
Boating Laws and Responsibilities,” which educate boaters on the latest information available regarding

12. 12
boating on RI waterways. Included in the manual are multiple sections pertaining to No Discharge Zone
education and regulations. “Discharge of Sewage and Waste,” and “Typical Marine Sanitation Devices”
sections can be found in the booklet, which informs and educated boaters on how the rules apply to their
craft and their operating behavior. Lastly, the handbook provides a map and a list of contact information
for all the public pump-out stations in Rhode Island.
Website- No Discharge Area, pump-out and MSD information is made available to the public on
the DEM website. Boaters are able to view the pump-out map by visiting the RI DEM website, under the
section “No Discharge Program/Pump-outs”. This section also includes links to the surrounding states’
environmental agencies to learn about adjacent CVA funded facilities. Lastly, the website provides
information on why pump-outs are important, health protection, and managing waste in NDAs. It is also
important to note that the DEM website should always remain as up-to-date as possible.
Recommendations
Improve Signage- Enhancing compliance with the no discharge zone would consist of making
boaters more aware of the locations and ease of use for the pump-out facilities around Rhode Island. One
way to do this would be to improve and increase the international signage use. Some marinas have signs
that may not be easily visible, or the facility may only have one present. It would be beneficial to have
multiple signs per facility. For instance Brewer Cove Haven Marina’s sign set up consists of one at the
entrance of the facility’s channel, and another at the actual docking location for the pump-out, making it
easier for boaters to locate where pump-out is available. Additionally, the current link listed on the sign is
invalid. The link listed on the sign should be updated to either the main DEM website, or updated to the
current map link. Or, if possible, the current map’s link should be changed back to the original link posted
on the sign.
Provide Logs- Most of the facilities report trouble being able to keep a log of annual gallons of
sewage reported, and try to calculate estimates to obtain the reported total. Some marinas such as Bristol
Marine have created their own log, where as others are not sure where to begin. It may be beneficial to
provide all CVA grant recipients with a RIDEM pump-out log for staff operated facilities. For instance,
Florida, Oregon and North Carolina’s pump-out programs all provide pump-out logs on their
environmental agency’s website. The logs vary in their lay out and specifics, but all nonetheless log the
number of gallons pumped per each individual pump-out performed. A pump-out log specific to
RIDEM’s needs has been drafted and included in Appendix D of this report. Logging pump-outs would

13. 13
provide more accurate annual totals. Additionally, the program could better track where the pump-out
boats are expelling their discharge, so pump-out boat totals are not counted twice; once from the pump-
out boat itself, and then again if included in stationary pump-out totals. Furthermore, still in the works is
the proposal of a log system for the self-serve stations. This would be a log placed at self- serve
stationary facilities, in a water proof box similar to those used for real estate brochures. Boaters using the
facility would then simply check the appropriate box for the amount of gallons pumped each time the
system is used. Again, this would allow a more accurate total as to how many gallons a system pumps.
The proposed log for this system can be found in Appendix E of this report.
Conclusion
After coming off the best pump out year in 2013, the DEM Pump-out Program is still experiencing
high success. With a large majority of the CVA grant recipients complying with their grant agreement
and almost all of the CVA facilities being operational, conducting a pump-out in Rhode Island can be
easier now than ever. With the addition of new pump-outs each year, the facilities are plentiful, with
numerous user options such as self-service, staff-operated, or mobile operated. The more facilities around
Rhode Island make the accessibility for boaters keeps improving. Most importantly, the total annual
gallon of sewage pumped out of Rhode Island’s waterways is just below the amount of sewage pumped
out last year. This is the second straight year with over 500,000 gallons pumped-out. The number of
gallons has nearly tripled since the program first began. As with any existing program, there are many
recommendations that can help improve the program and to ensure it is up-to-date. No discharge
compliance continues to improve greatly, with persistence, monitoring, and enforcement, water quality
has improved greatly. Harbormasters are reporting more recreational use than ever before, with visibly
cleaner waters in coastal areas such as Block Island Sound. Without the assistance of the Clean Vessel
Act funding, none of the reported progress would be possible. Rhode Island’s residents and visitors are
enjoying the clean waterways, and the Department of Environmental Management’s Office of Water
Resources hopes to see the compliance continue and develop as public awareness increases, and
unnecessary sewage discharge decreases.
