2025 Recreational Boating Pumpout Facility Assessment
Learn about and comment on the Pumpout Assessment.
While the Clean Vessel Act (CVA) Grant Program helps develop and maintain the statewide infrastructure to support boater stewardship, long-term planning is essential to future efforts.
SB 5200 allocated funds for an updated Washington Recreational Pumpout Facilities Assessment in 2024. This report will assess the waste infrastructure system that supports recreational boating in Washington State. Its recommendations are intended to guide investments in waste disposal infrastructure, boater education and outreach, and legislative engagement.
The assessment is a critical step to informing our state’s investments in recreational boating infrastructure, maintain state eligibility for Clean Vessel Act (CVA) and other grant funds, and improve critical habitat conditions for salmon, shellfish, and other species.
This page will be updated as the project progresses.
