Environmental Protection Agency
All Grady-White Boats meet the U.S. Environmental Agency standards in effect at the time of
manufacture. All boats have an EPA label incorporated within their NMMA certification label. For
international boats without an NMMA label, a separate label has been included to show compliance
with EPA standards.
Pollution Regulations
The U.S. Coast Guard defines restrictions on the discharge of oil or hazardous substances and
plastics or garbage in the “Federal Requirements for Boating and Boating Safety”. You should have
received this pamphlet when you registered your boat. Detailed below is a summary of those
regulations. You should read the pamphlet and become familiar with any local restrictions where
you operate your vessel. Passengers or crew members aboard your boat should also be notified of
these regulations.
Discharge of Oil or Hazardous Substances
The Federal Water Pollution Control Act prohibits the discharge of oil or hazardous substances,
which may be harmful, into or upon U.S. navigable waters. Vessels 26 feet (7.9m) in length or over
must display a placard at least 5" x 8" (12.7 cm x 20.3 cm) with the text shown below. If your boat is
26 feet or greater in length, an adhesive backed label that meets these requirements is provided in
your owner’s packet. It is your responsibility to display this placard on the vessel in a conspicuous
place in the machinery space or at the bilge pump control.
