   Eastern District of Missouri   
Criminal case - criminal law. Defendants' towbarge was a vessel for purposes of the Clean Water Act, since it was a towable vehicle capable of use as a means of transportation on the water; as a result, defendants could not be criminally prosecuted for discharge of raw sewage from the towbarge since the Act exempts the discharge of sewage from vessels.
