[Public-List] temporary holding tank

[Backfin via Public-List]

Here's the basic visitor info regarding sewage rom Transport Canada. I'm not sure how so many mid sized powerboats work around those requirements given the popularity and simplicity of having a tiny head compartment with a porti pottie hold down straight from the builder. https://www.tc.gc.ca/eng/marinesafety/debs-obs-quick-quick_visitor-1610.htm

I couldn't find anything specific stating that porti potties are restricted on the chesapeake, but the attached document eludes to such by requiring MSD types I, II or III IF it has an installed toilet. There is some grey are around that language. 
There are strict discharge restrictions. All can be found here (for MD):

The principal is that they don't want the sailor to be able to empty it himself...an unethical person could dump it overboard and that circumstance needs to be impossible.
