ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
AGENCY
[FRL–8948–4]
North Carolina Waters Along the Entire
Length of New Hanover County No
Discharge Zone Determination
erowe on DSK5CLS3C1PROD with NOTICES
File date
The Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA), Region 4, concurs with the
determination of the North Carolina
Department of Environment and Natural
Resources (DENR), Division of Water
Quality (DWQ) that adequate and
reasonably available pumpout facilities
exist for the designation of New
Hanover County North Carolina Coastal
Waters as a No Discharge Zone (NDZ).
Specifically these waters extend three
nautical miles (nm) into the Atlantic
Ocean along the entire length of New
Hanover County, including Futch Creek,
Pages Creek, Bradley Creek, Hewlett’s
Creek, Howe Creek, Whiskey Creek,
Snow’s Cut, as well as unnamed
tributaries and all unnamed tidal creeks
to those waters.
The geographic description including
latitudes and longitudes are as follows:
Northern border of New Hanover
County with southern border of Pender
County (34°17′53.5″ N 77°42′32.2″ W),
to a point 3 nm off the coast at the
intersection of New Hanover and Pender
Counties (34°16′01.9″ N 77°40′20.5″ W).
Intersection of the southern tip of
New Hanover County with Brunswick
County at the Cape Fear River
(33°55′43.0″ N 77°56′13.6″ W),
southeastward along the extended
intersection of the two counties, 3 nm
into the Atlantic Ocean (33°53′07.5″ N
77°55′34.5″ W).
This petition was filed pursuant to the
Clean Water Act, Section 312(f)(3),
Public Law 92–500 as amended by
Public Law 95–217 and Public Law
100–4. A NDZ is defined as a body of
water in which the discharge of vessel
sewage, both treated and untreated, is
prohibited.
Section 312(f)(3) states:
After the effective date of the initial
standards and regulations promulgated under
VerDate Nov<24>2008
15:04 Aug 21, 2009
Jkt 217001
this section, if any State determines that the
protection and enhancement of the quality of
some or all of the waters within such States
require greater environmental protection,
such State may completely prohibit the
discharge from all vessels of any sewage,
whether treated or not, into such waters,
except that no such prohibition shall apply
until the Administrator determines that
adequate facilities for the safe and sanitary
removal and treatment of sewage from all
vessels are reasonably available for such
water to which such prohibition would
apply.
According to DENR DWQ the
following facilities are located in New
Hanover County for pumping out vessel
holding tanks:
(1) Carolina Beach Municipal Marina,
Carolina Beach, 910–458–2540, open
24/7, 6′ draft at mean low tide

was 13,940. This number reflects active
vessel registrations and was obtained
from the North Carolina Wildlife
Resources Commission. During the
period of 2006 to 2008, the total number
of active registered vessels increased
nearly 15%. The result is that there are
nearly 1,800 more pleasure boats in the
area waters today than just two years
ago, with the largest increase occurring
in boats between 16′ and 25′ in length.
It is recognized that only a percentage
of the vessels in the coastal waters of
New Hanover County are equipped with
a Marine Sanitation Device (MSD). To
estimate the number of MSDs in use,
percentages obtained from EPA (Region
2) were applied, and are listed below:
Boat Length
<16′ ...........................................
16′–25′ ......................................
26′–40′ ......................................
>40′ ...........................................
Percent with
MSDs
8.3
10.6
78.5
82.6
This yields an estimated 2,046 MSDs
in use by registered boats within New
Hanover County.
Through the use of a marina survey,
the number of transient boats serviced
by marinas in New Hanover County was
calculated to be approximately 180 per
month. This figure was arrived at by
using the peak season transient boat
figures from each marina. Using the
figures for both county and transient
boats, the total number of MSDs in the
New Hanover County waters is
estimated to be 2,194. There are 9
marinas within New Hanover County
and this yields a ratio of about 244 boats
per pumpout facility. This figure does
not include the two marinas that are
located within 7 nautical miles of this
proposed NDZ area.
All vessel pumpout facilities that are
described either discharge into State
approved and regulated septic tanks or
State approved on site waste treatment
plant, or the waste is collected into a
large holding tank for transport to a
sewage treatment plant. Thus all vessel
sewage will be treated to meet existing
standards for secondary treatment.
Comments regarding this proposed
action should be addressed to David
Parker, Chief, Coastal Section, EPA
Region 4, Water Protection Division, 61
Forsyth Street, Atlanta, Georgia 30303–
