The Clean Boating Act of 2008 (CBA) is a United States law that requires recreational vessels to implement best management practices to control pollution discharges. The law exempts these vessels from requirements to obtain a discharge permit under the Clean Water Act (i.e. they are exempt from coverage under the EPA Vessels General Permit).[1][2]
The CBA amended the
U.S. Coast Guard as the enforcing agency.[3]
In 2011 EPA conducted public meetings to obtain public comment about developing CBA regulations.[5] As of 2020, EPA has not announced a schedule for issuing the regulations.[3]
