mswlogo's response is spot on. The other key thing to remember is that the concern is the total load of contaminants flowing into the lake. As population on the lake increases, we need to address all these things to make sure we don't destroy our already threatened water quality. So it's not one septic in one house or one boat--it's all the septics that need to be regulated, and all the boaters that should not be using the lake as a toilet.
