Does anyone know the government website that would provide a current
map/listing of no discharge zones?

Here are the rules... not sure what you mean by a map, as this applies
to all areas.

There is also a law which a lot of Americans that boat in the Canadian
waters of the Great Lakes do not know about. "Porta Potties" are
prohibited. Your vessel must have a marine sanitation device, which is
permanently installed, with pump out capabilites. No overboard discharge
valves are allowed.

Is there a size limit for that kind of restriction? (No, not the size
of the head... g the size of the boat)

I've been told it applies to 22' boats....

And I believe there was a minor inaccuracy in the first post: Overboard
discharge valves aren't illegal, but being able to *use* them is. They
need to be "permanently" closed. Also, porta potties that are
permanently mounted and can be pumped out are legal.

That law is fairly strictly enforced against Canadian flagged vessels,
but transient vessels with portapotties and overboard discharge
capability have never had a problem--at least none that I've ever heard
of in nearly 20 years--provided their systems are properly secured and
they don't dump their portpotties overboard.

Perfect. Thank you.
