Pollution and the environmentQuestion 334 of 352

Where must you secure a Type I or Type II device so it cannot discharge?

  1. On any lake with a ramp
  2. Only in the open ocean
  3. Only when the boat is moored
  4. On waters where the EPA bans sewage discharge
Show answer

Correct answer: On waters where the EPA bans sewage discharge

In no-discharge zones the device must be locked or closed, so no sewage goes overboard.
