🔍 Key Concepts

• 33 CFR Part 159 – Marine Sanitation Devices (MSDs) and their discharge requirements • Difference between comminuted and disinfected sewage vs. raw (untreated) sewage • Distance-from-land limits: 3 NM and 12 NM rules for sewage discharges

💭 Think About

• Look at each option and ask: Is this matching what 33 CFR says about how far from land a vessel must be to discharge different types of sewage? • Think about whether the law requires every vessel to have an approved treatment plant, or if there are alternative types of Marine Sanitation Devices (MSDs). • Compare options A and B: Do they describe two different conditions that can both be correct, or is one of them inconsistent with the actual distance limits?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify the minimum distance from nearest land for discharging treated (comminuted and disinfected) sewage. • Verify the minimum distance from nearest land for discharging untreated sewage from an approved system. • Confirm whether the regulations say a vessel must have an approved sewage plant, or if other MSD types (like holding tanks) are acceptable.
