Is all of Florida a No Discharge Zone

Can treated waste be discharged in Florida waters

Apparently only in increments of 211 million gallons.

(Sorry, non-responsive I know. Discharge comes up so often on this forum that I immediately thought of TF when I read this news. I see the state fined Ft. Lauderdale $1.8 million for the spill. Let's see, that works out to .008531 dollars per gallon. Heck, if I can empty my holding tanks for less than a penny a gallon I'll pay double that and still consider it a bargain. What, doesn't work that way?)

You expected logic?

Except for right around the Keys and maybe a few other areas...no Florida is not primarily a no discharge zone...

In marinas declaring themselves to be "Clean marinas" you are not supposed to discharge in them either.

Greetings,
Re: Post #2. Well, I guess my taxes are going up again...

Where do you fine what is and is not clean zones

 

[psneeld]

I posted a link to No discharge zones.

Usually "clean marinas" have signs posted all over when you pull in or are advertised on their web page.

Can treated waste be discharged in Florida waters

With the exception of the Keys, Destin Harbor and a few well meaning but misguided marinas, the discharge of treated waste from a USCG certified Type I or II MSD is legal in all FL waters.
