The Clean Vessel Act (CVA) of 1992 was signed into law to reduce pollution from vessel sewage discharges, prohibiting the
discharge of raw sewage into fresh water or within coastal salt-water limits. The act established a federal grant program
administered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, which to date has awarded nearly $150 million for states to install
thousands of sewage pumpout stations. The program, housed within DEPs Office of Sustainable Initiatives, provides grants
for construction and installation of sewage pumpout facilities and purchase of pumpout
boats and educational programs for boaters.

educate the public about a marina's crucial
role in providing water access.
