About this file
This is a checklist for plans and specifications issued by the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection for the design and submission of Marine Sanitation Device Facilities (MSDF) under the Federal Clean Vessel Act Grant Program. The checklist provides comprehensive guidance for applicants proposing new MSDF installations or upgrades to existing facilities that will receive federally funded grants covering up to 75% of project costs. Applicants must submit detailed design documentation including location maps, plan views, cross-sections, and profile views to scale showing proposed equipment installations and water line locations. All designs must comply with Clean Vessel Act Technical Guidelines published by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and must be labeled with the applicant's name.
The specifications section requires applicants to define performance standards including minimum pumping capacity of 10 gallons per minute, horizontal and vertical pumping distances, discharge destination (municipal sanitary sewer or holding tank), and holding tank volume with high-level alarm mechanisms where applicable. Detailed submissions must address equipment lists, plumbing specifications including pipe length and material types, electrical requirements such as power cables and control panels, trenching and excavation specifications, and separation requirements between waste and water lines. Additional requirements include floodproofing specifications where flood risk exists, identification of replacement parts and disposable items for one year of operation, and location and specifications for any electronic or computerized pump monitoring devices to track gallons pumped for accurate reporting purposes.

Checklist for Plans and Specifications
This checklist must be used as a guide for the design submittal of a new MSDF or repair or upgrade of an existing MSDF. Label all design attachments in accordance with this checklist and be sure to include the name of the applicant on all design documentation submitted with the application.
Plans:
1. A location map must be prepared showing the vicinity of the site. A portion of a
U.S.G.S. Quadrangle map or a portion of a NOS Navigation chart is usually a good location map;
2. A plan view to scale must be prepared to show the proposed equipment installation;
3. Cross section and/or profile view(s) to scale must be prepared to show the proposed equipment installation;
4. Show the location of water lines and note required separation distances.
Provide notes on plan sheets, which include the specifications and details of installation requirements.
Specifications: All designs must be completed in accordance with the applicable provisions of Clean Vessel Act Technical Guidelines published by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
(https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-1994-03-10/html/94-5530.htm), to remove sanitary wastes from Marine Sanitation Device holding tanks onboard boats and/ or receive wastes from marine portable toilet holding tanks as applicable to your installation:
Performance Standards
Specify the performance standards applicable to your installation. These standards identify what you want the equipment to actually do.
1. The number of gallons per minute of sanitary wastes to be pumped (a minimum of 10 gallons per minute is required);
2. The horizontal distance that waste will be pumped;
3. The vertical distance that waste will be pumped;
4. Whether the waste will be discharged to a municipal sanitary sewer system or to a waste holding tank as applicable to your installation;
5. The volume of the holding tank for systems not directly connected to a municipal sanitary sewer. If such a holding tank is required then a high-level alarm/automatic shutoff mechanism must be specified. Holding tanks are not required in systems directly connected to municipal sanitary sewers.
Equipment
Provide a detailed list of the equipment needed to meet the performance standards specified above.
Plumbing
1. Specify the length and material type of piping required to move the pumped or dumped waste into either a sanitary sewer or a holding tank. If there is a remote station on a floating dock then the hose connecting to the upland must be flexible;
2. Specify the length and material type of any piping required to provide clean water for rinsing MSDF holding tanks or marine portable toilet holding tanks;
3. Specify the fittings required to connect the piping;

4. Specify the plumbing installation location(s) and any other specifications detailing installation requirements.
If sanitary wastes from the site are currently pumped to the municipal sanitary sewer system, modification of the pump station to accommodate either the additional flow or connection of additional plumbing may have to be specified. The waste line from the pumpout or dump station must be plumbed so that waste pumped under pressure cannot be diverted to other waste connections should a blockage occur downstream of those connections.
Electrical
1. Specify the type and approximate length of electric power cables to be installed;
2. Specify the type and approximate length of remote control cable (if required);
3. Specify any required control panel, conduit, fittings or cable hangers;
4. Specify the electrical installation location(s) and any other specifications detailing installation requirements.
Trenching/Excavation
1. Specify the depth, width and length of any required trenching or excavation;
2. Specify any backfilling and surface restoration requirements to accommodate plumbing or electrical components. Include any bedding material required, and specify whether or not any excavated material shall be relocated on or off site to accommodate the new bedding materials;
3. Specify any required separation between waste and water lines.
Other
1. Floodproofing shall be required if there is a potential for the equipment to be damaged by flooding;
2. Any necessary replacement parts or disposable service items required for one year of operation.
Location and type of any electronic or computerized pump monitoring device(s) that must be installed to provide for accurate reporting of gallons pumped.
