Overview

The Sewage Management Operation and Maintenance Grant, administered by the California Department of Parks and Recreation, supports the construction and upkeep of pumpout and dump stations for recreational vessels. Established under the Clean Vessel Act, it aims to reduce sewage discharges into U.S. waters. Grant recipients are responsible for a 25% cost match, which can be in cash or in-kind contributions. This initiative promotes clean, safe, and enjoyable boating experiences in California.

In 1992, Congress passed the Clean Vessel Act (CVA) to help reduce sewage discharges from recreational vessels into U.S. waters. The Grant Program established by the CVA will help fund the construction, renovation, operation, and maintenance of pumpout and dump stations to service recreational vessels. Funding comes from the Sport Fish Restoration and Boating Trust Fund.
As part of its commitment to provide clean, safe, and enjoyable recreational boating in California, the California State Parks Division of Boating and Waterways (DBW) serves as the State Grant coordinator on behalf of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
Funding
Both grants (installation and O&M grants) are reimbursement based. The grant agreements must be fully executed before any purchase, installation, or repairs occur.
As a grant recipient you are responsible for at least 25% of the costs associated with the new or replacement pumpout and/or dump station installation, or 25% operation and maintenance costs listed in the grant application. This 25% match can be cash, the fair market value of any labor or materials provided, or a combination thereof.
