What is a MSD?

  • A MSD is designed to keep untreated sewage out of the water.
  • Every boat with an installed marine toilet must have it connected to an operable CG approved MSD.

Task 3.5

33 CFR §159.7

5 of 80

Types of MSDs

5

  • Type I and II
    • Macerate the sewage and then treat it with chemicals or other means to reduce the bacterial count before it is discharged overboard.
      • Type I macerates the sewage to no visible solids, and then reduce the bacteria count to less than 1,000 per 100 milliliters.
      • Type II macerates the sewage so the discharge contains no suspended particles and the bacteria count must be below 200 per 100 milliliters.

6 of 80

Types of MSDs

6

  • Type III
    • Most common
    • Holding tanks designed to retain or treat the waste until it can be disposed of at the proper shoreside facilities.
  • Portable toilets
    • Simplest and easiest solution .
    • Minimal space, inexpensive, reliable, and easy to operate.

Chemical Level Indicator

7

33 CFR §159.65

  • The device must be equipped with one of the following:
    • A means of indicating the amount in the device of any chemical that is necessary for its effective operation.
    • A means of indicating when chemicals must be added for the proper continued operation of the device.

OIL: 40 CFR part 110, Discharge of Oil regulation, and 40 CFR part 112, Oil Pollution Prevention regulation

Any person in charge of a vessel or of an onshore or offshore facility is subject to the reporting requirements of the Discharge of Oil regulation if it discharges a harmful quantity of oil to U.S. navigable waters, adjoining shorelines, or the contiguous zone, or in connection with activities under the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act or Deepwater Port Act of 1974, or which may affect natural resources under exclusive

U.S. authority.

A harmful quantity is any quantity of discharged oil that violates state water quality standards, causes a film or sheen on the water’s surface, or leaves sludge or emulsion beneath the surface. For this reason, the Discharge of Oil regulation is commonly known as the “sheen” rule.

Note that a floating sheen alone is not the only quantity that triggers the reporting requirements (e.g., sludge or emulsion deposited below the

33 CFR §155.750(a)(9)

Oil Pollution Reporting

Under this regulation, reporting oil discharges does not depend on the specific amount of oil discharged, but instead can be triggered by the presence of a visible sheen created by the discharged oil or the other criteria described above.

A facility should report discharges to the National Response Center (NRC) at 1-800-424-8802 or 1-202-426-2675. The NRC is the federal government's centralized reporting center, which is staffed 24 hours per day by U.S. Coast Guard personnel.

If reporting directly to NRC is not practicable, reports also can be made to the EPA regional office or the U.S. Coast Guard Marine Safety Office (MSO) in the area where the incident occurred.

49 CFR §171.15; 49 CFR §171.16

Two Phases

  • As soon as practical but no later than 12 hours after the occurrence, provide notice to the National Response Center (NRC) by telephone.
  • Within 30 days of discovery of the incident, submit a Hazardous Material Incident (DOT Form F 5800.1).
