The proposed NDA boundary includes the municipal waters of Boston,
Braintree, Cambridge, Chelsea, Everett, Hingham, Hull, Milton, Newton,
Quincy, Watertown, Weymouth, and Winthrop.
Massachusetts has provided documentation indicating that the total
vessel population is estimated to be 8,720 in the proposed area. It is
estimated that 4,047 of the total vessel population may have a Marine
Sanitation Device (MSD) of some type. There are marinas, yacht clubs
and public landings/piers in the proposed area with a combination of
mooring fields and dock space for the recreational and commercial
vessels.
Massachusetts has certified that there are 35 pumpout facilities
within the proposed area available to the boating community and four
additional facilities pending. The majority of facilities are connected
directly into the local wastewater treatment system. A list of the
facilities, phone numbers, locations, and hours of operation is
provided at the end of this petition.
Boston Harbor is rich in natural resources and includes the Boston
Harbor Islands National Park Area, four state-recognized Areas of
Critical Environmental Concern (Rumney
[[Page 32331]]
Marshes, Neponset River Estuary, Weir River Estuary, and Weymouth Back
River), and numerous local parks and beaches. Boston Harbor has
eelgrass beds, salt marshes, estuaries and mud flats that provide
suitable habitat for blue mussels, razor clams, soft shell clams,
lobsters, coastal and pelagic birds (including 5 listed species),
striped bass, smelt, alewives and herring. The area supports over 300
migratory bird species. In addition to the natural resources, the area
has regional and national attractions such as the Children's Museum,
New England Aquarium, Faneuil Hall Marketplace, the USS Constitution,
Navy Yard Historical Park, and many other attractions that bring an
estimated 16 million visitors per year.
