The primary function ofthese vessels is more akin to a floating hotel or a houseboatthan it is to a transportation vessel.

Declares an intent to ensure that the blackwater,graywater, and other wastes eventually released by theowners and operators of commercial passenger vesselssatisfies the state's standards for protecting the quality of itswaters. It is the traditional and long-standing role of thestate to ensure that any substances being released into itswaters will not, given the unique nature of the state's localwaters, adversely impact either the state's economic orenvironmental interests.

Provides that the department shall approve blackwaterreleases from a commercial passenger vessel if the owner oroperator of the commercial passenger vessel: (1) Candemonstrate to the department's satisfaction, based oneffluent limits and requirements for sampling and reportingestablished by the department, that the blackwater to bereleased from the vessel will receive an adequate level oftreatment to protect the quality of the water receiving therelease; and

(2) Has paid the mandatory annual operating feeestablished in this act.

Provides that the owner or operator of a commercialpassenger vessel that is operating under the presumption ofadequate blackwater treatment granted in this act may onlymaintain the presumption of adequacy if the owner oroperator agrees with the department to do all of thefollowing when the vessel is at least more than one nauticalmile from its berth at a public port in Washington and is

traveling at least six knots or more: (1) Sample the qualityof the treated blackwater released from the commercialpassenger vessel while at berth at a Washington public portat least once during each month that the commercialpassenger vessel calls on a public port in Washington;

(2) Share all effluent samples with the department,when requested in writing, for all samples taken in waters ofthe state;

(3) Conduct a whole effluent toxicity test, or WET test,at least once every two years unless the department providesnotification in writing that such testing is unnecessary;

At a minimum,the report must make findings as to whether commercialpassenger vessels are releasing treated blackwater andgraywater in the same locations, and if so, whether thecumulative effects of these releases degrade the waterquality in those areas. The report must also address thedilution and dispersion of viruses in the treated blackwaterand the impact on shellfish for human consumption.

Provides that for each year from 2005 until 2010, thedepartment shall analyze all water quality data received fromcommercial passenger vessels and make available to thepublic, using the agency's web site, by December 31st ofeach year a report that summarizes all data collected in layterms.
