Gulf of Mexico, Long Island Sound, or one or more of the Great Lakes. The term also includes Puerto
Rico, the Virgin Islands, Guam, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands. The term
excludes Alaska and American Samoa because these States have a ratio of the number of recreational
vessels in the State numbered under chapter 123 of title 46, United States Code, to number of miles of
shoreline (as that term is defined in §926.2(d) of title 15, Code of Federal Regulations, as in effect on
January 1, 1991), of less than one.
Costal waters. In the Great Lakes area, the waters within the territorial jurisdiction of the United States
consisting of the Great lakes, their connecting waters, harbors, roadsteads, and estuary-type areas such
as bays, shallows, and marshes. In other areas, those waters, adjacent to the shorelines, which contain
a measurable percentage of sea water, including sounds, bays, lagoons, bayous, ponds, and estuaries.
Coastal zone. Coastal zone has the same meaning that the term has in section 304(1) of the Coastal
Zone Management Act of 1992 (16 U.S.C. 1453(1)). The coastal zone consists of coastal waters
(including the lands therein and thereunder) and the adjacent shorelands, including islands, transitional
and intertidal areas, salt marshes, wetlands, and beaches. The zone extends, in Great Lakes waters, to
the international boundary between the United States and Canada and, in other areas, seaward to the
outer limit of the United States territorial sea. The zone extends inland from the shorelines only to the
extent necessary to control shorelands and protect coastal waters.
Construction. Activities which produce new capital improvements and increase the value of usefulness
of existing property.
Dump station. A facility specifically designed to receive sewage from portable toilets carried on vessels.
Dump stations do not include lavatories or restrooms.

published in theFederal Register,designed to make recreational boaters aware of the environmental
pollution problem resulting from sewage discharges from vessels and inform them of the location of
pumpout and dump stations.
Eligible applicant. An agency of a State designated by the Governor.
Equitable fees. The maximum charge per pumpout is $5.00. Price modifications and discounts are
subject to State/Federal laws concerning pricing.
Facility. A pumpout station or dump station.
Facility open to the public. (1) A Clean Vessel Act facility that is open and available to the public is one
where the public has full and reasonable access to the pumpout/dump station, including:

are included as inland States (Rationale for Samoa and Alaska being inland States can be found in
§85.11(b) above).
Maintenance. Those activities necessary for upkeep of a facility. These are activities that allow the
facility to function and include routine recurring custodial maintenance such as housekeeping and minor
repairs as well as the supplies, materials, and tools necessary to carry out the work. Also included is
non-routine cyclical maintenance to keep facilities fully functional.
Operation. Those activities necessary for the functioning of a facility to produce desired results. These
are activities that make the facility work.

Electronic Code of Federal Regulations:

Page 9 of 13

selected pumpout symbol in the U.S. Coast Pilots, a supplement to the charts, to relate this symbol to
the NOAA Nautical Chart magenta “P” and circle.
(3) All recipients identified in §85.11 should display the appropriate pumpout symbol on facilities, such
as pumpout and portable toilet dump stations, or on printed material or other visual representations
relating to project accomplishments or education/information, and should encourage others to do so.
Sub-recipients also should display the symbol and should encourage use by others for the purposes
stated in this paragraph (b)(3).
(4) The Service encourages other persons or organizations, such as marinas with pumpout stations not
constructed with Clean Vessel Act funds, to use the symbol to advance the purposes of the Clean
Vessel Act program.
(5) The following specifications shall apply: The symbol is black, the background is white, and the border
is international orange. There is no standard for the black and white, but use black and white colors, not
shades. The standards for the international orange color is as follows: For day boards (signs), use
retroflective international orange film. For paint, use international orange conforming to FED-STD 595B,
chip number 12197 in daylight conditions. For inks, use Pantone Matching System color chart 179C. In
order to ensure visibility after dark, use reflectorized film or paint, and/or artificial illumination. Pumpout
symbol technical specifications to construct signs and for other purposes are available upon request.
(6) The following rules govern the graphic reproduction of the symbol:
(i) Do not use a smaller than legible symbol.
(ii) If you reduce or enlarge the symbol, maintain the same proportions.
(iii) Do not obscure the symbol by overprinting.
(iv) Do not place the symbol where it will be split by unlike backgrounds.
(v) Do not place the symbol on a background that is highly textured or patterned.
(vi) When appropriate, for economical reasons, depict the symbol in one-color (black) with a white
background, rather than two-color (international orange and black) with white background.
(7) The pumpout symbol follows:

View or download PDF
(c) Qualifying signs. (1) In conjunction with the symbol, you may use other qualifying signs below the
symbol, either on the same sign or on a separate sign.

http://ecfr.gpoaccess.gov/cgi/t/text/text-idx?c=ecfr&sid=1686d992431848be1a8f9f32cd4b4... 6/9/2009

(i) You may place the message “PPUMP OUT”, “PPUMPOUT STATION”, “PPORTABLE TOILET DUMP
STATION”, or other appropriate qualifier, beneath the symbol. Place the magenta-colored “P” and circle
in front of the message to relate the pumpout symbol to the NOAA NOS nautical charts. Messages may
be appropriate for several years until the symbol is understood without the message. When appropriate,
substitute a black “P” and circle for economical reasons.
(ii) You may place directional arrows beneath the symbol to indicate the direction of pumpout or portable
toilet dump station facilities.
(2) The following specifications shall apply: Symbols, such as directional arrows, and letters, are black,
and the background is white. For using inks to create the magenta color, use PMS color chart 259U.
Letters and black and white colors shall follow the Federal Highway Administration's Manual on Uniform
Traffic Control Devices for Streets and Highways (MUTCD), FHWA, 1988. The Superintendent of
Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, DC 20402, provides for sale copies of the
1988 MUTCD, including Revision No. 3, dated September 3, 1993, Stock No. 050–001–00308–2.
(3) The same rules governing the graphic reproduction of the pumpout symbol, as described in
paragraph (b)(6) of this section, shall apply to qualifying signs.
(d) Pumpout slogan. (1) Use the pumpout slogan according to Service specifications to help increase
boater awareness of the need to use pumpout and dump stations to properly dispose of their boat
sewage. Use the slogan in conjunction with the pumpout symbol, on educational/informational material,
and for other uses as appropriate to advance the purposes of the Clean Vessel Act. The slogan is not
copyrighted, and the Service encourages its appropriate use.
(2) All recipients identified in §85.11 should display the pumpout slogan on facilities, such as pumpout
and portable toilet dump stations as appropriate, and on printed material or other visual representations
relating to project accomplishments or education/information, and should encourage others to do so.
Sub-recipients should display the slogan for purposes as stated above and should encourage others to
do so.
(3) The Service encourages other persons or organizations, such as marinas with pumpout stations not
constructed with Clean Vessel Act funds, to use the slogan to advance the purposes of the Clean Vessel
Act program.
(4) The following specifications shall apply: Letters are black and background is white. The same
reference under specifications for Qualifying Signs in paragraph (c)(2) of this section shall apply.
(5) The same rules governing the graphic reproduction of the pumpout symbol, as described in
paragraph (b)(6) of this section, shall apply to the pumpout slogan.
(6) The pumpout slogan follows:
KEEP OUR WATER CLEAN—USE PUMPOUTS
(e) All information signs, pumpout symbol, qualifying signs, and pumpout slogan identified in this section
and the crediting logo identified in §85.47, inform and educate boaters. Therefore, use the signs,
symbol, slogan and logo as appropriate. For instance, a sign on the water directing boaters to a
pumpout may only need the pumpout symbol, and a qualifying sign beneath, e.g., an arrow, and
possibly the words “PUMPOUT STATION”. For pumpout and dump stations, the pumpout symbol,
slogan, information signs, including all information in paragraph (a) of this section, and the crediting and
State logo may be appropriate. If desirable, add qualifying signs. Position a legible sign, symbol and
logo either on the pumpout/dump station, on a separate sign, or both, for the greatest effect in informing
and educating boaters. For other products such as print and video public service announcements,
brochures, etc., the placement of symbols, etc. depends on space availability. The following order of
priority dictates the order of use under limited space conditions: the pumpout symbol, slogan, 1-800ASK-FISH telephone number and Sport Fish Restoration crediting logo. Add other information as
appropriate. Use judgement when placing information on signs so as not to confuse the reader. Display
the symbol, logo, slogan and information signs in the appropriate locations. To reduce wind drag when
bolting signs on pilings, it was found helpful in the Northeast to make signs taller than wider. Symbol or
logo size may vary. However, if you reduce or enlarge the symbol, maintain the same proportions.
