The Council has been the chief reviewing body for these studies and has issued advice on a retrospective study issued in 1997, a prospective study issued in 1999, and, since 2001, analytic blueprints for a second prospective study on the costs and benefits of clean air programs covering the years 1990– 2020.

Council members will discuss whether any additional advisory activities are needed prior to OAR’s issuance of a final report.

Southeast following the boundary between CT & NY to a point in LIS .................................................. Easterly following the boundary between CT & NY to a point due south of Hoadley Point at the eastern border of Branford ......................................................................................................................... Due north to Hoadley Point at the eastern border of Branford ............................................................... The proposed area also includes the navigable reaches of all Connecticut rivers and tidal streams that drain into Long Island Sound within its bounds, including the Housatonic River from the Derby Dam and the Quinnipiac River from the southern border of North Haven. Connecticut has certified that there are 43 pumpout facilities within the proposed area available to the boating public. A list of the facilities, phone numbers, locations, and hours of operation is appended at the end of this petition. Connecticut has provided documentation indicating that the total vessel population is estimated to be 12,000 in the proposed area. It is estimated that 5,000 of the total vessel population may have a Marine Sanitation Device (MSD) of some type. These total numbers may be overestimated by the state of Connecticut, which would give the boating public a larger ratio of pumpouts to boats (300–600 vessels for everyone facility). The majority of facilities are connected directly into the local wastewater treatment system. The Wheeler State Wildlife Management Area and units of the McKinney National Wildlife Management Area are within or border the proposed No Discharge Area (NDA). There are approximately 107 marinas, 15 public boat ramps, 29 public and numerous private beaches located within the proposed No Discharge Area.

There are thousands of acres of productive shellfish beds in the proposed NDA supporting oysters, hard shell clams, soft shell clams, and razor clams. The area supports a thriving commercial and recreational fishing fleet. Species of commercial and recreational interest include striped bass, bluefish, blackfish, summer flounder, and winter flounder. The proposed area has a variety of rich natural habitats, and supports a wide diversity of species. The federally listed species include the bald eagle, shortnose sturgeon, piping plover, and puritan tiger beetle as well as dozens of state designated rare and endangered species. cprice-sewell on PROD1PC61 with NOTICES PUMPOUT FACILITIES WITHIN PROPOSED NO DISCHARGE AREA Location (figure) Name Grass Island Municipal Pumpout.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is hereby given that a petition has 
been received from the state of Connecticut requesting a determination 
by the Regional Administrator, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 
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 along coastlines and coastal tidal rivers within 
the following boundaries:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
     Waterbody/General Area            Latitude            Longitude
------------------------------------------------------------------------
From Byram Point at the western    40[deg]59'03.15''   73[deg]39'24.55''
 border of Greenwich............                   N                   W
Southeast following the boundary   40[deg]57'03.23''   73[deg]36'46.42''
 between CT & NY to a point in                     N                   W
 LIS............................
Easterly following the boundary    41[deg]07'51.17''   72[deg]44'09.73''
 between CT & NY to a point due                    N                   W
 south of Hoadley Point at the
 eastern border of Branford.....
Due north to Hoadley Point at      41[deg]15'22.88''   72[deg]44'09.73''
 the eastern border of Branford.                   N                   W
------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The proposed area also includes the navigable reaches of all 
Connecticut rivers and tidal streams that drain into Long Island Sound 
within its bounds, including the Housatonic River from the Derby Dam 
and the Quinnipiac River from the southern border of North Haven.
    Connecticut has certified that there are 43 pumpout facilities 
within the proposed area available to the boating public. A list of the 
facilities, phone numbers, locations, and hours of operation is 
appended at the end of this petition.
    Connecticut has provided documentation indicating that the total 
vessel population is estimated to be 12,000 in the proposed area. It is 
estimated that 5,000 of the total vessel population may have a Marine 
Sanitation Device (MSD) of some type. These total numbers may be 
overestimated by the state of Connecticut, which would give the boating 
public a larger ratio of pumpouts to boats (300-600 vessels for 
everyone facility). The majority of facilities are connected directly 
into the local wastewater treatment system.
    The Wheeler State Wildlife Management Area and units of the 
McKinney National Wildlife Management Area are within or border the 
proposed No Discharge Area (NDA). There are approximately 107 marinas, 
15 public boat ramps, 29 public and numerous private beaches located 
within the proposed No Discharge Area.
    Both recreational and commercial shell fishermen use the area. 
There are thousands of acres of productive shellfish beds in the 
proposed NDA supporting oysters, hard shell clams, soft shell clams, 
and razor clams. The area supports a thriving commercial and 
recreational fishing fleet. Species of commercial and recreational 
interest include striped bass, bluefish, blackfish, summer flounder, 
and winter flounder. The proposed area has a variety of rich natural 
habitats, and supports a wide diversity of species. The federally 
listed species include the bald eagle, shortnose sturgeon, piping 
plover, and puritan tiger beetle as well as dozens of state designated 
rare and endangered species.

                                                  Pumpout Facilities Within Proposed No Discharge Area
