Reasonable open periods. This part does not specify hours, days and seasons,
however, some suggested examples, provided no other factors are involved, are
presented:
(1) Pumpout/dump stations may be open during the same period the fuel docks are
normally open.
(2) Pumpout stations may be open when the marina is open and staff is present to
pump out boats.
(3) Pumpout/dump stations may be open during the hours considered to be normal
marina business hours as adjusted by seasonal differences.

use a broadened definition so it captures the four major types of equipment.

Seasonal closures of pumpouts has a significant impact on boaters who utilize Type I and II marine sanitation devices for the onboard treatment of sewage. This is particularly critical in areas covered by No Discharge Zones where such devices are precluded. The regulations should require keeping facilities available as late in the year as possible within the limits imposed by freezing conditions.
