NAC488.530. Marine sanitation devices: Approval; barriers or methods of securing.

     1. For purposes of NRS 488.320, a marine sanitation device shall be deemed approved by the United States Coast Guard if:

     (a) It complies with the provisions of 33 C.F.R. § 159; and

     (b) It is legibly labeled as meeting those requirements.

     2. To secure adequately a marine sanitation device for the purpose of preventing the intentional, accidental or surreptitious use of the device in violation of NRS 488.320, a physical barrier or other method which accomplishes that purpose must be used or placed on the device. The barriers or methods may include the closing and padlocking of the seacock, using a tie made of wire which is incapable of being released, using heavy tape or removing the handle of the seacock. If a marine sanitation device is equipped with a Y valve which allows sewage to be directly discharged from the vessel into the waters of this State, the valve must be secured in the closed position anytime the vessel is in the waters of this State.

     3. As used in this section, “marine sanitation device” has the meaning ascribed to it in NRS 488.320.
