Pump-out Log

[jeffnick]

I wonder if this petains to Portapotties too?

The State of North Carolina, in a 2009 session, has added requirements that recreational boaters must now keep a log of pump outs on board your vessels, and the new regulation goes into affect July 1, 2010. House Bill 1378 makes it a misdemeanor for a vessel to not have this log on board.

The bill states that all vessel owners and operators are required to keep a log of pumpout dates. Any owner or operator of a vessel that has a marine sanitation device shall maintain a record of the date of each pumpout of the marine sanitation device and the location of the pumpout facility. Each record shall be maintained for a period of one year from the date of the pumpout. Section 1 of this act becomes effective July 1, 2010.

I saw the title of this thread and had second thoughts about opening it...

we used to keep logs of this stuff on the passenger boats & headboats I ran...
most of it is required for larger inspected vessels, but its interesting they want similar stuff for private vessels.

for example:
DATE
CAPT/CREW
DEPART HOME PORT
RETURN HOME PORT

ALL TRASH REMOVED & CREW OFF
HOLDING TANK PUMPED
WATER FILLED

etc yadda yadd
