The SML Vessel Pump Out Program is a cooperative effort funded by the Smith Mountain Lake Association, the Virginia Department of Health, and the Tri-County Lakes Administrative Commission, to promote and protect healthy water quality at SML and in the surrounding watershed. SML is a designated No Discharge Zone, a waterway where discharge of any sewage from any vessel is prohibited under the federal Clan Water Act. The state program is managed by the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality. Through this educational program promoting the protection of clean water, boats docked at 19 marinas on Smith Mountain Lake are eligible for free pump out services.
