The Department of the Interior offers the Clean Vessel Act Grant Program to support states in enhancing recreational boating opportunities and promoting clean waterways by funding pumpouts and dump stations. This grant program, funded by excise taxes through the Sport Fish Restoration and Boating Trust Fund, aims to reduce sewage pollution in U.S. waters. With an annual budget of approximately $14 million, CVA grants have already financed over 5,500 waste disposal facilities, resulting in improved water quality and increased awareness among boaters. By partnering with various organizations and promoting responsible waste disposal practices, the program contributes to the preservation of aquatic ecosystems and the overall health of our waterways.

| Description:: | Recreational boating is a popular activity in the U.S. There are approximately 13 million registered boats in the U.S., and each year over 70 million people enjoy a host of water-based recreational opportunities, such as fishing, cruising, waterskiing, and spending time with family and friends. Many recreational boats are equipped with on-board toilets and wastewater holding tanks, known as Marine Sanitation Devices (MSDs). Proper disposal of recreational boat-related sewage is important in preserving and improving water quality in the country�s vital aquatic ecosystems. CVA provides States with Federal funding to support their ongoing efforts to improve recreational boating opportunities and provide boaters with clean, efficient facilities to prevent waste disposal into public waterways and other ecosystems. CVA is one of the Service�s �user pay, user benefit� grant programs. Excise taxes paid through motorboat fuel and sport fishing equipment purchases go into the Sport Fish Restoration and Boating Trust Fund. Approximately two percent of the trust fund is available for CVA grants each fiscal year. This year, we expect CVA to fund approximately $14 million in grants. Each year pumpouts and dump stations funded through CVA and matched with State, local, and/or private funds have a large impact on reducing the amount of potential waste in our nation�s waters. This has resulted in tremendous benefits such as improved water quality for public drinking water supplies, river ecosystems, and shellfish beds, convenient service for boaters on U.S. navigable waters, and boaters who are informed of how best to dispose of vessel sewage. Since the inception of CVA, the grant program has funded over 5,500 pumpouts and dump stations. Through dedication of the States, private marinas, the Sport Fishing and Boating Partnership Council, States Organization for Boating Access, environmental groups, and the boating public, millions of gallons of sewage have been diverted from polluting U.S. waters each year. These groups have also been instrumental in maintaining and operating the facilities in working order and providing information for the boating public regarding the importance of keeping our waters clean by using pumpout and dump stations. The program slogan is: Keep Our Water Clean – Use Pumpouts. |
