Equitable fees. The maximum charge per pumpout is $5.00. Price modifications and
discounts are subject to State/Federal laws concerning pricing.

Mar 31, 2014The fee base could be capped at $10.00, with no minimum fee.

Apr 07, 2014Melanie Titus, NH DES - increasing the price limit to $10 might encourage more marina's to participate. How was $5.00 decided to be the maximum charge allowable?

Apr 17, 2014Janine - Although Oregon doesn't allow any fees to be charged could this be changed to avoid future rule making changes by removing the specific dollar amount and identifying that the fee needs to be regionally comparable and reasonable?

If you are a private business, $5.00 doesn't go very far today. $10.00 is ok for the pump out however, if you are operating a pump out boat you can't maintain the equipment and pay someone to run the boat.

Sorry, I forgot to say as a private business that has successfully used the CVA grant to build pump out stations at our family owned and operated marina we do not charge to use the pump out. We pay for all of the maintenance on the stations. But it is important that everyone uses it, and that five or ten dollars could be that excuse. However, the gentleman that operates a self made pump out boat that services the boats in their slips for a fee, could not use a CVA grant to get a pump boat and still afford to operate his business.

Apr 24, 2014There should be a way in supplemental grants to cover maintenance and on going costs of outside and ongoing monitoring of
the pumpout systems .
Also a pumpout boat is expensive to operate , gas , oil, boat & motor maintenance ETC. personal .
This is an expensive service for any marina to provide but a necessary one for clean water.
At the grant end if the boat is taken back by the state there is another net loss on the 25% grant match.
The boat should become the property of the marina that obtained the grant.

I suggest deleting this term from the definitions section since we have another section dealing with the $5 fee ("Fees charges for the use...") and it can be better addressed there.

Apr 30, 2014Lynne V, NY - Increase; provide for higher rates for greater volume of waste pumped or larger boats and adjust fee annually; could use the consumer price index as a guide to increasing the rate.
