You just missed being hit by new waste water law: Timely rescue saves you from expensive, new regulations

In a last minute save, Congress exempted commercial fishing vessels from some drastic new rules that would have cost you money and inspired a lot of cussing. As members of Congress prepared to leave Washington, D.C., for campaign battles back home, bills were before them that would have exempted recreational boats from draco-nian new regulations, but they neglected the commercial fleet. Your vessel would have been held to the same water standards as merchant vessels longer than 125 feet.
