Pumpout facility means the structures, equipment, and operation that provide services to boaters to remove and dispose of recreational boater septic waste. A pumpout facility includes stationary and mobile structures and equipment, land-based and on the water. Examples of a pumpout facility are land-based stationary pumpouts, land-based mobile pumpouts, pumpout boats, dump stations, and floating restrooms.

Mar 25, 2014Question: Should a pumpout facility be just one component (Ex: one pumpout, one boat, etc.) OR should it be all pumpout services offered at one location (Ex: one marina has several pumpout options)? Comments?

Mar 31, 2014To be better able to receive funding for each "pumpout facility" , I believe it should be each pumpout unit, or boat or portable pumpout unit.

Apr 01, 2014Pam Parker Maine DEP, there is an overlap with definition of "facility". Need to clarify one or the other to mean something different. Perhaps "facility" could be the boating infrastructure or organizations that houses/manages one or more "pumpout stations". I guess it depend on how the sub grants are structured, whether they are given to the facility (as define here) to serve one or more of their stations.

Apr 17, 2014Janine - I think they should all be defined individually with the exception of stationary and portable/mobile pumpout stations. The use of the equipment is different and should be defined. I think it would also add clarification on the equipment.
