Therein lies the problem. I'm all for no discharge zones (with Pump-A- Heads available), pilling, ticketing, et.al. Do you even know what a "no discharge" zone is? Dumping raw sewage within 3 miles of shore has been illegal for years. These "no discharge" zones only mean that you can't use a type I or II unit, which treats waste better than a municipal sewer plant before it discharges it. What's the logic behind making a no discharge zone? Instead of using a LectraSan, you have to put it in a holding tank and pump it to a sewer plant, which won't treat it as well, and will dump tons of raw sewage into the waterways every time there's a heavy rain. That's one of the big problems with these "no discharge" zones... very few people understand them or what they mean, much less the actualy effects. |
