In CVA, construction includes actions that create infrastructure to support equipment designed to capture recreational boater generated sewage such as, such as docks, gangways, floats, slips, and boats.

I concur with Janine. I would also like to see included sewage monitoring systems, and lift stations.

I agree with the expanded language, however if it is changed to support the Clean Marina Program, it should be reflected here also.
Lift stations are essential to pump out stations that are located in more remote areas as National Parks.

Apr 24, 2014Lift stations are mandatory in the west to pump the black water up a hill sometimes at a lake water level that is down
over 100 feet from a normal level. There are also complete monitoring systems for leak detection, volume of fluid pumped
and any pump/equipment problems.

We suggest the scope covered under this definition be clearly tied to items and activities directly related to providing vessel sewage pumpouts and limiting discharges from vessel maintenance activities. While other activities (such as landscaping) may be necessary due to a CVA project being undertaken, this program should keep its focus on supporting programs that directly benefit the waterways.
