🔍 Key Concepts

• 33 CFR definition of "discharge" of oil (look at how broadly it’s defined) • Difference between oil that stays on the vessel vs. oil that enters the water • Common ways oil can unintentionally or intentionally reach navigable waters

💭 Think About

• For each option, ask yourself: Does this situation result in oil actually reaching the water, not just being handled on board? • Consider whether the regulations distinguish between accidental leaks, spills that wash overboard, and intentional pumping—are they treated differently or the same? • Think about why the law is written broadly: What is the main goal of the Pollution Prevention Regulations?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify how 33 CFR defines a "discharge" of oil, including words like "spilling," "leaking," "pumping," or similar terms. • Check whether intent (accidental vs. intentional) changes whether something is considered a discharge under the regulations. • Confirm that the key factor is whether oil reaches or may reach navigable waters or the adjoining shoreline.
