Grey water tanks are required in Lake Tahoe. You sinks are supposed to drain into a seperate container!
This is becoming more common due to total Non-Discharge laws... Nothing over the side, including gray water. On Lake Superior for instance you cannot discharge Gray Water within the Isle Royale National Park.
I had no idea, but maybe that makes some sense.
On that note, I hope I am not hijacking here...... I just read in The Log that Cruise ships must stop dumping treated sewage off Calif. coast...

Wonderful news, but I was not aware that it was ever legal to do so before....

Have you considered just directing the drains flow into the blackwater tank. I can understand the depending on the use of the boat storage capacity may be a limiting factor. That would make for a less costly and reduced labor installation. Just food for thought.
The original poster is from Sidney B.C. I doubt he will be sailing in Lake Tahoe anytime soon.
As noted there are some places where a grey water tank is needed but B.C. allows dumping anything except in 9 protected bays. Holding tanks will be mandatory this coming May.

It is highly not recomended to plumb sinks to black water tanks due to possible bacterial contamination
Yeah...and for some extra fun, go to an RV forum and ask if it's okay to pee in the shower.....
