New York Canal System Designated As No Discharge Zone

"The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) today announced that the entire New York State Canal System is now a "no discharge zone,' which means that boats are banned from discharging sewage into the canals. Boaters must instead dispose of their sewage at specially designated pump-out stations." - excerpt from this U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) news release.
