Tenn. Comp. R. & Regs. 1660-02-11-.01 - DEFINITIONS
(1) "Marine Sanitation" as used in these
rules shall apply to waste associated with marine heads on vessels.
(2) Marine Sanitation Device shall mean any
device on board a vessel which is designed to retain, treat, or discharge waste
associated with a marine head.
(3)
Commercial Facility: For the purpose of meeting the provisions of the marine
sanitation law, a commercial facility shall be defined as one which received a
fee or other consideration as payment for housing, storing, or mooring a vessel
for a period of time exceeding 24 hours.
(4) Inoperable device: A device or system is
considered inoperable when it can not be readily placed back in service.
(a) Examples of an inoperable device are:
1. systems on which Y valves have been
secured in a position which prohibits improper discharge of waste. Y valves
will be considered "secured" when held in the closed position by non-releasing
wire ties or seals as furnished by the Wildlife Resources Agency.
2. systems where wiring has been removed in
such a way that the device cannot readily be reconnected for use.
3. systems where hoses have been removed so
that overboard discharge of untreated sewage on discharge lakes, or overboard
discharge of any kind on no discharge lakes is not possible.
4. Removal of the "installed"
head.
(b) Methods such as
removal of fuses, locking doors which provide access to the head, and removal
of Y valve handles shall not be considered as making a device or system
inoperable.
