RE: DISCHARGE OF SEWAGE FROM WATERCRAFT
BY: HUMAN RESOURCES COMMITTEE - Wallace F. Gabler, Jr., Chairman
TO: THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
MR. CHAIRMAN, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN:
WHEREAS, Act 167 of the Public Acts of 1970, as amended,
requires all watercraft having a marine toilet to be so equipped
as to preclude overboard discharge of sewage into waters of the
State; and
WHEREAS, recently proposed Federal regulations (which would
supersede State requirements) would permit overboard discharge of
sewage with minimal pre-treatment (macerator chlorinator devices)
thereby causing a health hazard and pollution problems.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board
of Commissioners supports the present State policy of no overboard
discharge of sewage from watercraft into waters of the State, County
and the Great Lakes and connecting waterways under the jurisdiction
of the State.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners endorses the principal of the right of the State, where
due concern exists, to establish more stringent standards than the
Federal government.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners opposes the implementation in the aforementioned waters
of the new Federal regulations.
The Human Resources Committee, by Mr. Wallace F. Gabler, Jr.,
Chairman, moves the adoption of the foregoing resolution.
