The Massachusetts Clean Vessel Act (CVA) program is administered
by MarineFisheries and has been underway since 1994.
Funding is provided through the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's
Sportfish Restoration Program. Since the CVA program's inception,
Massachusetts' harbors have put more pumpout boats in service
than any other state. This extensive coverage, coupled with
the many shoreside stations placed in service, provide the
infrastructure needed to achieve and maintain the goal of
designation of the Commonwealth's coastal waters as a federal
No- Discharge Area.
