YES! I understand, thanks Chuck. That is why I am glad that where I am there is only the one small NDZ (and not someplace I ever go). So I WILL be able to discharge. I complete agree with you that NDZs are NOT solving a problem as the discharge from the treatment devices meets OR EXCEEDS EPA standards. I don't understand what science NDZs are based on but glad I do NOT boat in a NDZ!!

I SURE hope this does not happen to you in Puget Sound!!! I take it you have a treatment device?
