Iow, you're saying that in Canada there is no "3 mile limit" in coastal

and holding tanks may be dumped anywhere in coastal Canadian waters except in
those areas specifically designated "no discharge?"

This is correct. In British Columbia the "no discharge" areas are
listed at:

Kinda, I think...What I'm saying is that the "Type I" Type II" and "Type III"
are purely American designations - they have no legal definition in Canada (or
other parts of the world).

Actually, Type I and II MSDs are clearly defined in ISO rules, which are
the regs for most of the world--and US regs conform to ISO rules...in
fact are the basis for many ISO rules that US rules pre-date. So while
"Type I and II MSD" may not have any meaning in Canada, they most
definitely do in most other parts of the world that have marine
sanitation regs.

These are also Canadian designations:

As a matter of interest, the city of Victoria does not treat its
effluent other than straining out the large bits.

Note in particular that you NEED a means of determining the level in the
tank,
and a flame-arrestor on the vent tube.

You may find that a white LED (the kind that replaces a bayonet-mount
12 v incandescent) works just as well at a fraction of the amp draw
and an uptick in ruggedness.

This may be of interest if like me your holding tank is nearly as
distant from the batteries as the bow running lights, which I may
switch this year to ganged LEDs for this reason.
