The actual point of it all is that one should be aware of the rules, regulations, and laws of the area where you are camping, whether it be Montana or Ontario.
I don't disagree at all but FWIW I know of no regulations here in the Ontario provincial park system (which BTW is the second largest park system in N America, second only in total acreage to the US national park system) that specifically restricts the disposal of grey water in any facility, be it a dump station, pit toilet, vault toilet, or for that matter dispersed in the foliage surrounding one's campsite. Each park within the system has it's own park pamphlet (with maps) that is handed out to each camper upon entry into the park but in the years we've been camping I've yet to read anything that specifically addresses the issue of grey water disposal, other than an admonition primarily directed at tent campers to not wash dishes as the various potable fresh water spigots located around the campground. Included are the usual reminders as to where the dump station, bath house, garbage disposal, etc, facilities are located and a reminder they're there for a purpose but nothing I know of that specifically addresses the issue of grey water disposal. Presumably the issue is left to common sense and based on my experiences over the years I can't say there's a need for concern - other than those who despite signage do insist on washing their dirty dishes at the water spigots. :M All that said, my point hasn't changed - a set of smaller, portable containers for off loading, collecting, and disposing of grey water are not only much easier to deal with but also offer the ability to dispose of that water in locations one couldn't access with a wheeled tote tank that weighs hundreds of pounds when full.
