Identification of Weather Deck Runoff Discharge Constituents Onboard a U.S. Coast Guard Island Class (WPB) Patrol Boat

摘要

Section 325 of the 1996 National Defense Authorization Act, 'Discharges from Vessels of the Armed Forces', requires the Navy to comply with Uniform National Discharge Standards (UNDS) to control the overboard discharge of incidental wastewaters from ships of the Armed Forces. During Phase I of the UNDS initiative, it was determined weather deck runoff requires a Marine Pollution Control Device (MPCD) to control the discharge.
