#### 93B Interpretation of this Part In this Part: > damage to a vessel or its equipment does not include: (a) deterioration resulting from failure to maintain the vessel or equipment; or (b) defects that develop during the normal operation of the vessel or equipment. > Grade A treated sewage means sewage that has been treated and complies with the standard set out in Part 2 of Schedule 7 to the Transport Operations (Marine Pollution) Regulation 2008 of Queensland. > Note: The standards for Grade A treated sewage are the implementation of Resolution of MEPC.2(IV) MARPOL 73/78 made for the purposes of Annex IV of MARPOL 73/78. > Grade B treated sewage means sewage that has been treated and complies with the standard set out in Part 3 of Schedule 7 to the Transport Operations (Marine Pollution) Regulation 2008 of Queensland. > Grade C treated sewage means sewage that has been treated and complies with the standard set out in Part 4 of Schedule 7 to the Transport Operations (Marine Pollution) Regulation 2008 of Queensland. > Note: The standards are: > Note: For Grade A treated sewage > Note: Thermotolerant coliforms—the relevant level of the thermotolerant coliform count of the samples of treated sewage taken during the test period must not be more than 250 thermotolerant coliforms/100 mL, most probable number, as determined by a multiple tube fermentation analysis or an equivalent analytical procedure. > Note: Suspended solids—the relevant level of the total suspended solids content of the samples of treated sewage taken during the test period must not be more than 50 mg/L above the suspended solids content of ambient water used for flushing purposes. > Note: Biochemical oxygen demand—the relevant level of the 5 day biochemical oxygen demand of the samples of treated sewage taken during the test period must not be more than 50 mg/L. > Note: For Grade B treated sewage > Note: Thermotolerant coliforms—the relevant level of the thermotolerant coliform count of the samples of treated sewage taken during the test period must not be more than 150 thermotolerant coliforms/100 mL, most probable number, as determined by a multiple tube fermentation analysis or an equivalent analytical procedure. > Note: Suspended solids—the relevant level of the total suspended solids content of the samples of treated sewage taken during the test period must not be more than 50 mg/L above the suspended solids content of ambient water used for flushing purposes. > Note: For Grade C treated sewage > Note: Thermotolerant coliforms—the relevant level of the thermotolerant coliform count of the samples of treated sewage taken during the test period must not be more than 150 thermotolerant coliforms/100 mL, most probable number, as determined by a multiple tube fermentation analysis or an equivalent analytical procedure. > reef includes bommie fields, reef slopes, moats and ramparts. > sewage has the meaning given by Part IIIB of the Protection of the Sea (Prevention of Pollution from Ships) Act 1983.
