ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

[FRL-9292-3]


New York State Prohibition of Discharges of Vessel Sewage; 
Receipt of Petition and Tentative Affirmative Determination

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice--Receipt of petition and tentative affirmative 
determination.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that, pursuant to Clean Water Act, 
Section 312(f)(3) (33 U.S.C. 1322(f)(3)), the State of New York has 
determined that the protection and enhancement of the quality of the 
New York State areas of the Long Island Sound requires greater 
environmental protection, and has petitioned the United States 
Environmental Protection Agency, Region 2, for a determination that 
adequate facilities for the safe and sanitary removal and treatment of 
sewage from all vessels are reasonably available for those waters, so 
that the State may completely prohibit the discharge from all vessels 
of any sewage, whether treated or not, into such waters.
    New York State has proposed to establish a ``Vessel Waste No-
Discharge Zone'' for the Long Island Sound that encompasses 
approximately 760 square miles, includes the open waters, harbors, bays 
and navigable tributaries of the Sound and a portion of the East River, 
from the Hell Gate Bridge in the west to the northern bounds of Block 
Island Sound in the east. It excludes waters of Mamaroneck Harbor, 
Huntington-Northport Bay Complex, Port Jefferson Complex, Hempstead 
Harbor and Oyster Bay/Cold Spring Harbor Complex, which have been 
previously designated as No Discharge Zones.

DATES: Comments regarding this tentative determination are due by May 
11, 2011.

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments by any of the following methods:
     E-mail: [email protected]. Include ``Comments on 
Tentative Affirmative Decision for NYS LIS NDZ'' in the subject line of 
the message.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is hereby given that the State of New 
York (NYS or State) has petitioned the United States Environmental 
Protection Agency, Region 2, (EPA) pursuant to section 312(f)(3) of 
Public Law 92-500 as amended by Public Law 95-217 and Public Law 100-4, 
that adequate facilities for the safe and sanitary removal and 
treatment of sewage from all vessels are reasonably available for the 
NYS areas of the Long Island Sound (LIS or Sound). Adequate pumpout 
facilities are defined as one pumpout station for 300-600 boats under 
the Clean Vessel Act: Pumpout Station and Dump Station Technical 
Guidelines (Federal Register, Vol. 59, No. 47, March 10, 1994).
    The Long Island Sound is one of the nation's premier water bodies, 
and supports a variety of possible uses--fish and shellfisheries, fish 
spawning areas, breeding grounds, valuable wildlife habitats, bathing 
beaches, commercial and recreational boating, and a profusion of 
recreational resources.
    In 1985, recognizing the Sound's ecological and economic value, New 
York State partnered with Connecticut and the EPA to create and support 
the Long Island Sound Study (LISS). The Sound was recognized as an 
Estuary of National Significance under the Clean Water Act in 1988, and 
as such, is one of the nation's twenty-eight (28) National Estuary 
Programs.
    The ecological, economic, and recreational resources provided by 
the Long Island Sound are vulnerable to the effects of poor water 
quality. The Sound was once home to some of the most productive 
shellfish beds in the nation, but many have now closed due to pathogen, 
low dissolved oxygen, and excessive nutrient contamination.
    The State of Connecticut designated the Connecticut portion of the 
Long Island Sound as a No-Discharge Zone (NDZ) in 2007. Previously 
established No-Discharge Zones in both New York State and Connecticut 
have made important reductions in vessel waste as a source of water 
pollution in the Long Island Sound. Degradation of any area, however, 
affects the whole. Extending the No-Discharge Zone designation to the 
remainder of the Long Island Sound would therefore be a positive 
component of an overall strategy to protect and improve these waters 
and would create a unified approach to vessel waste for the entirety of 
this waterbody.
    In order for EPA to determine that adequate facilities for the safe 
and sanitary removal and treatment of sewage from all vessels are 
reasonably available for the New York State areas of the Long Island 
Sound, the State must demonstrate that the pumpout-to-vessel ratio does 
not exceed 1:300. In its petition, the State described the recreational 
and commercial vessels that use the Sound, and the pumpout facilities 
that are available for their use.
    The recreational vessel population, 11,693, was estimated using 
2008 recreational vessel registrations. In addition to recreational 
vessels, the Sound is used by commercial vessels. The majority of 
commercial vessels are small fishing vessels, tankers, tugs, or barges. 
Because the small fishing vessels are comparably sized to the bulk of 
recreational vessels, they can make use of the existing vessel pumpouts 
that are available for recreational vehicles. The small commercial 
vessel population, 500, was estimated based on aerial photographs used 
to develop the 1996 Statewide Clean Vessel Plan. The figures for 
recreational and small commercial vessels were then compared to the 
number of pumpouts available to determine the applicable ratio and 
whether the requirement is met. There are fifty-two (52) pumpout 
facilities funded by the Clean Vessel Assistance Program (CVAP) in the 
relevant areas of the Sound. Of those, twenty-six (26) discharge to a 
holding tank and twenty-six (26) discharge to a municipal wastewater 
treatment plant. There are also sixteen (16) other (non-CVAP funded) 
pumpouts available for recreational and small commercial vessels that 
either discharge to a holding tank or to a municipal wastewater

[[Page 19990]]

treatment plant. Therefore, the total number of pumpouts available for 
the 12,193 recreational and small commercial vessels that use the Sound 
is sixty-eight (68), and the pumpout-to-vessel ratio for those vessels 
is 1:179.3 (68:12,193).
    The number of large commercial vessels was estimated using the 
following information sources: ballast manifests; U.S. Coast Guard 
assessments; phone contacts with ferries, cruise ships, the State 
University of New York (SUNY), and the Port Authority of New York and 
New Jersey. On any given day, the numbers of large vessels in the New 
York waters of the Long Island Sound is very low, partially due to 
complex navigational issues. Tankers, tugs, cruise ships and barges 
have access to mobile pumpout facilities (i.e., ``honey-dipper'' trucks 
or boats) as they do in Connecticut, or may access pumpout facilities 
at their home port, outside of the region, eliminating the need for 
services within the Sound.
    Ferries constitute the greatest need for pumpouts for large 
commercial vessels. The New London to Orient Point Ferry does not 
discharge to LIS waters. It pumps waste from its ferries into the New 
London City sewer system. The Bridgeport to Port Jefferson Ferry could 
discharge its waste into a sewage system operated by either the Town of 
Port Jefferson, or Suffolk County, and the ferry company is in the 
process of negotiating an agreement to do so. In the interim, septic 
truck services are readily available for pumpout while the ferries are 
docked in Bridgeport. SUNY Maritime College's large vessel is equipped 
with a marine sanitation device (MSD) that it discharges to the open 
sea or when docked in its home port at Fort Schuyler. SUNY may install 
a sewer pipe on the pier so that the vessel can discharge to the 
municipal system. In the interim, septic truck services are readily 
available for pumpout when in port at Fort Schuyler.
    A list of the facilities, phone numbers, locations, hours of 
operation, water depth and fee is provided as follows:
