The same is true for grey water discharge systems with respect to plumbing on vessels with sink/kitchen facilities. This is good news that I was unaware until today. I have contacted the NHDES and will be working with one of their grant groups to assist in both the millfoil removal and water sampling programs. As for round island, all facilities are grandfathered outhouses all located no less than 100 ft. from the shore line. The state's requirement is now 50 ft. That is the minimum of ground distance from mean high water required to provide for adequate filtration. The same is true for gray water from camps. Hope to hear more from you when it comes to learning real fast. I have a lot of learning to do at 47.

Happy to read that you realize one is never too old to learn.
Also, happy to read that Round Island has a great filtration system. Would not want the inhabitants who might acquire their drinking water from the Lake to be drinking their own recycled water.
Stop by Fay's someday and ask Merrill how much the state will fine him for putting a boat in the water, say from the ocean with a head, if it still has unplugged outlets that would allow discharge into the Lake of black or grey waste water.
For someone who is familiar with the Island's grandfathered rules as you, one might think you have spent a few days at the Lake and being water quality conscience, as your original post professes, does seem a bit strange that you were unaware of basic septic rules for all boats, irregardless of size.
But then again, you seemed to zero in on large boats. Another person at the Lake with an agenda, perhaps?
If this were during the sixties, then you would have a viable target for grey water being discharge into the Lake. Times change and sometimes for the better.
Perhaps those SW UFO's are something coming home to roost? Homing pigeons tend to do that, too.
