How does a Marina purchase a Pumpout with Federal Funds?

Marinas must first contact DHEC in order to get a permit for a pumpout or dump station. Then, a proposal must be submitted to SCDNR with cost estimates on the pump, plumbing, and electrical. Once the proposal is approved, then a contract will be drafted so that the marina may be reimbursed for up to 75% of the approved project cost.

What are the Conditions for Installing a Pumpout?

  1. The facility must be open to the public.
  2. The pumpout must be open during normal hours.
  3. The pumpout must be used for it intended purpose.
  4. Pumpout facilities may collect a maximum of $5 per pumpout, however, ideally, they would be free.

What Types of Pumpouts are available?

  1. Stations affixed permanently to a dock
  2. Mobile stations mounted to a golf cart or hand truck.
  3. Direct slipside connections
  4. Pumpout boats
