Public Water System Supervision
Program Revision for the State of
Arkansas
mstockstill on DSKH9S0YB1PROD with NOTICES
AGENCY: Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice of proposed approval.
SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that
the State of Arkansas is revising its
approved Public Water System
Supervision Program adopting new
regulations for the Lead and Copper
Rule (LCR) Short-Term Regulatory
Revisions and Clarifications,
promulgated and published in the
Federal Register at 72 FR 57782 on
October 10, 2007. Arkansas has adopted
the LCR Short-Term Regulatory
Revisions and Clarifications to
strengthen the implementation of the
LCR for more effective protection of
public health by reducing exposure to
lead in drinking water. EPA has
determined that the proposed program
revision submitted by Arkansas for the
LCR Short-Term Regulatory Revisions
and Clarifications are no less stringent
than the corresponding federal
regulations. Therefore, EPA proposes to
approve these program revisions.
DATES: All interested parties may
request a public hearing. A request for
a public hearing must be submitted by
December 17, 2009 to the Regional
Administrator at the EPA Region 6
address shown below. Requests for a
hearing may be denied by the Regional
Administrator. However, if a substantial
request for a public hearing is made by
December 17, 2009, a public hearing
will be held. If no timely and
appropriate request for a hearing is
received and the Regional Administrator
does not elect to hold a hearing on his
own motion, this determination shall
become final and effective on December
17, 2009. Any request for a public
hearing shall include the following
information: the name, address, and
telephone number of the individual,
organization, or other entity requesting
a hearing; a brief statement of the
requesting person’s interest in the
Regional Administrator’s determination
and a brief statement of the information
that the requesting person intends to
submit at such hearing; and the
signature of the individual making the
request or, if the request is made on
behalf of an organization or other entity,
the signature of a responsible official of
the organization or other entity.

New York State Prohibition of Marine
Discharges of Vessel Sewage; Receipt
of Petition and Final Affirmative
Determination
AGENCY: Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that a
petition has been received from the
State of New York requesting a
determination by the Regional
Administrator, U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency—Region 2, that
adequate facilities for the safe and
sanitary removal and treatment of
sewage from all vessels are reasonably
available for the South Shore Estuary
Reserve (SSER), New York. The waters
of the proposed No Discharge Zone
(NDZ) fall within the jurisdictions of the
Town of Southampton, the Town of
Brookhaven, the Town of Islip, the
Town of Babylon, the Town of Oyster
Bay and the Town of Hempstead. The
entities submitted an application
prepared by the Peconic Baykeeper for
the designation of a Vessel Waste No
Discharge Zone. New York State
Department of Environmental
Conservation certified the need for
greater protection of the water quality.
EPA published a tentative affirmative
determination on July 6, 2009 in the
Federal Register. Public comments were
solicited for 30 days and the comment
period ended on August 5, 2009. EPA
Region 2 received a total of twenty five

Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 220 / Tuesday, November 17, 2009 / Notices
Three (3) commenters are questioning
or opposing the NDZ designation.
1. Comment: One commenter stated
that the pollution near the shore comes
from leaching septic tanks, fertilizer,
and road runoff. The boater uses his
boat for a limited time during the season
and stated that what is needed is
another sewer district.
EPA Response: This comment is
beyond the scope of this action in which
EPA finds adequate facilities for the safe
and sanitary removal and treatment of
sewage from all vessels are reasonably
available for the South Shore Estuary
Reserve (SSER), New York. EPA has
point and nonpoint source control
programs that address pollution from
leaching septic tanks, fertilizer, and
road runoff.
2. Comment: The commenter asked
why EPA was picking on boaters when
many beaches are closed due to storm
water runoff and not from overboard
discharge.
EPA’s Response: Regarding the
comment of ‘‘pick on the boaters’’
Section 312(f)(3) of the Clean Water Act
allows States to prohibit the discharge
of sewage, whether treated or untreated,
from vessels for the greater protection
and enhancement of water quality. New
York State has exercised its option to
support the petition put forth by the
Peconic Baykeeper. EPA’s role is to
determine whether adequate facilities,
for the safe and sanitary removal and
treatment of the sewage, are reasonably
available. We have found the facilities
in the proposed areas are reasonably
available and recommend finalizing our
determination. Sometimes beaches are
closed due to high bacterial counts from
storm water or other sources. However,
it should be noted the intent of NDZ
designation for the SSER is to protect
the whole SSER ecosystem not just
beaches.
3. Comment: One commenter stated
that his vessel is equipped with a
Lectrasan Marine Sewage Treatment
System and produces cleaner treated
effluent than the publicly owned
treatment works (POTWs). The
commenter asked whether it would be
acceptable for the boat to discharge
overboard in the NDZ.
Response: EPA has classified the
Lectra/San unit as a Type I MSD. For
Type I MSDs the effluent produced
must not have a fecal bacterial count
greater than 1,000 per 100 milliliters
and have no visible floating solids. Due
to the deficiencies in treatment (not
100% free of pathogens), vessels using
Lectra/San units are not permitted to
discharge in No-Discharge Zones. Once
a NDZ is established, vessels cannot
VerDate Nov<24>2008
20:50 Nov 16, 2009
Jkt 220001
discharge treated or untreated sewage
into the waterbody (40 CFR 140.4).
Twenty three (23) commenters
expressed strong support for the
establishment of a NDZ for SSER and
commented that this Final
Determination was an important step in
protecting the water quality of the SSER
and its marine resources. These
commenters raised questions and
concerns regarding outreach, education,
enforcement, pump out facilities, water
quality improvements, and legislative
issues. These comments are addressed
below in general subject categories.
Adequate Pumpout Facilities
4. Comment: Many commenters
expressed concerns about the adequacy
of existing pumpout facilities in the
Great South Bay, including the total
number of facilities and the conditions
and availability of the pumpouts. In
addition, a few commenters stated that
there should be more operable pump
out facilities (Town of Babylon
especially). One commenter expressed
the funding concern for increased
numbers of pump out facilities if
needed.
EPA Response: The criterion
established by the Clean Vessel Act
regarding the adequate number of
pumpouts per vessel population is one
pumpout per 300 to 600 vessels. All
areas of the SSER meet or exceed this
criterion, therefore, EPA has determined
that there is an adequate number of
pumpouts. A number of pumpout boats
operate in the SSER area and are
available for boaters’ convenience. EPA
recognizes the importance of adequate
pumpouts to service the boating activity
within a given waterbody. There are a
sufficient number of pumpouts to
service the Great South Bay. The Towns
of Brookhaven and Islip provide mobile
pumpout boats that operate in the Great
South Bay (four boats total) and can be
hailed on channel 73. Environmental/
stakeholder organizations such as
Peconic Baykeeper and the South Bay
Cruising Club have been encouraging
the Town of Babylon to bring a
pumpout boat on-line. State agencies are
contacted regarding inoperable or
inaccessible pumpouts for their
assistance in expeditious resolution of
the matter. EPA will continue to refer
complaints about non-operational
pumpouts to the appropriate State and
local authorities if such complaints are
received.
5. Comment: One commenter stated
that the depth of the waters adjacent to
the pump-out facilities are not deep
enough to allow sailboats with a draft
over four feet to access them.
PO 00000
Frm 00065
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

EPA Response: There are boats that
may require greater depth for pumpout.
They have the option to use any of the
four pumpout boats in Islip and
Brookhaven. Boaters can also anchor off
in the area and call out for service.
6. Comment: One commenter
suggested that boaters need to see more
convenient and reasonable priced
pumpout stations.
Response: As stated in the Response
to Comment 4, EPA has determined that
there is an adequate number of
pumpouts. Among all the available
pumpout stations the service charge
varies mostly from free of charge to $5
per service. EPA believes this is more
than reasonable.
7. Comment: One commenter
expressed concerns regarding where the
pumpout waste goes and the capacity of
these facilities.
EPA Response: Sanitary waste water
removed from pump out is generally
transported to municipal wastewater
treatment plants. In a few instances, the
waste pumped out from vessels is
pumped directly into onsite septic
systems.
Other Sources of Pollution in the (Great
South Bay) GSB Area
8. Comment: One commenter stated
that the water quality has degraded year
by year, that the Babylon Sewage
treatment plant does not remove the
nitrogen, and not only has the water
turned brown but it smells bad. There
is an uncertified shellfish area near the
Fire Island Inlet which has been closed
by NYSDEC apparently due to
impairment related sewage discharge
and the commenter asked how EPA
plans to correct this condition.
EPA Response: This comment is
beyond the scope of this action.
However, EPA agrees that uncertified
shellfish designation is potentially due
to stormwater and other nonpoint
sources including vessel waste. The
Babylon facility whose treatment train
does not include nitrogen removal is an
ocean discharge and should not affect
SSER water quality. Questions related to
the shellfish designations in the Great
South Shore Reserve should be directed
to the NYSDEC.
9. Comment: One commenter asked
how the Babylon Sewage Treatment
Plant neutralizes the waste water before
it is discharged in the water.
EPA Response: The Babylon (Bergen
Point) facility is a secondary wastewater
treatment plant. Secondary treatment
standards are established by EPA for
publicly owned treatment works
(POTWs) and reflect the performance of
secondary wastewater treatment plants.
These technology-based regulations
E:\FR\FM\17NON1.SGM

Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 220 / Tuesday, November 17, 2009 / Notices
mstockstill on DSKH9S0YB1PROD with NOTICES
apply to all municipal wastewater
treatment plants and represent the
minimum level of effluent quality
attainable by secondary treatment, as
reflected in terms of 5-day biochemical
oxygen demand (BOD5) and total
suspended solids (TSS) removal. The
Babylon facility does not discharge into
the Great South Bay. An extensive
pipeline crosses the GSB and extends a
considerable distance out into the
Atlantic Ocean where the effluent
discharged. The NYSDEC should be
contacted for detailed information
regarding the Babylon facility.
Enforcement
10. Comment: One commenter
expressed concerns that older boats are
not equipped with holding tanks and
potentially contribute sewage to the bay
while anchored overnight. There are
house boats and barges where people
live year round, that instead of pumping
out and trucking away, they may be
pumping it directly into bayside canals.
EPA Response: Boats with Type I or
Type II Marine Sanitation Devices
(MSDs) but without holding tanks are
prohibited from using these MSDs in a
NDZ. Compliance in an NDZ requires
that at the time of boarding by a bonafide law enforcement officer the vessel
is incapable of discharging. One does
not have to be caught in the act of
discharging to be in violation of the law.
11. Comment: One commenter
suggested a potential concern was that
there was insufficient state or local
resources for enforcement of a NDZ and
possible resistance to the NDZ
designation by local government and
boat owners due to lack of
understanding of the benefits. In
addition, the commenter asked if funds
are available for additional staffing.
EPA Response: According to the SSER
Comprehensive Management Plan,
published in 2001, to reduce
impairments and to improve water
quality, Federal, State, and local
governments are undertaking a heavily
funded and comprehensive program to
reduce or eliminate all point and
nonpoint sources of pollution and to
forestall or reverse a pattern of water
quality impairments throughout the
region. The Management Plan lays out
a strategy for enforcement, cooperation,
funding and staffing among the federal,
state, local and non-governmental
organizations (NGOs).
12. Comment: One commenter
suggested that each individual boat
should be declared a point source and
required to get a permit. Another
commenter suggested that all boats with
bathrooms should be required to have
boat inspection similar to car
VerDate Nov<24>2008
20:50 Nov 16, 2009
Jkt 220001
inspections that would require boats to
have the opening under the boat sealed
before passing inspection. They also
commented that mariners that install
toilets that discharge into the waterways
should be fined as well.
EPA Response: The Clean Water Act
does not authorize EPA to require
NPDES permits from vessels beyond
what is currently regulated by the
vacatur of the vessel exclusion (i.e.,
which resulted in EPA developing the
‘‘Vessel General Permit’’). The Vessel
General Permit (VGP) regulates
discharges incidental to the normal
operation of vessels operating in a
capacity as a means of transportation.
Recreational vessels as defined in
section 502(25) of the Clean Water Act
are not subject to this permit. In
addition, with the exception of ballast
water discharges, non-recreational
vessels less than 79 feet (24.08 meters)
in length, and all commercial fishing
vessels, regardless of length, are not
subject to this permit. Currently in the
SSER there are commercial
transportation vessels which are
required to obtain and comply with the
VGP permit. Recreational boats in the
SSER are not required to have NPDES
permit coverage at this time. With
regard to the boat inspection, New York
State enforcement of NDZs are captured
under the New York State Navigation
Law. Under Article 3, Section 33(e),
paragraph 4 ‘‘any vessel being operated
upon waters of the state that have been
designated as a vessel waste NDZ may
be boarded and inspected by the
department or health department or any
lawfully designated agents or inspectors
thereof * * *.’’ All certified peace
officers are agents of the state. This
means a bona-fide law enforcement
officer (State, County, Village police,
including bay constables, Harbor
Masters, etc.) can enforce the law.
Therefore, EPA believes that the
enforcement of the NDZ is sufficient
and therefore, no need to add
requirements such as a permit or
inspection for boaters.
Public Education
13. Comment: Several commenters
suggested public education to promote
awareness and cooperation of people
polluting waters. One commenter
suggested that it is important to engage
boaters in conversations about the
importance of properly disposing of
sewage from their boats and the benefits
of a NDZ. As boating continues to
increase in popularity, one commenter
suggested a strategy to provide
voluntary environmental programs and
education to support a NDZ and other
marine pollution controls.
PO 00000
Frm 00066
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
EPA Response: As part of instituting
a NDZ, Peconic Baykeeper has
published and is distributing a Clean
Boating Guide throughout the estuary to
educate the boaters on clean water
practices and to inform them of the
location of pumpout facilities.
Additional educational efforts are
expected from the South Shore Estuary
Reserve Program Office.
Outreach
14. Comment: One commenter
inquired as to what kind of performance
measure on outreach efforts there was
for the NDZ designations.
EPA Response: As a result of this
designation approval, improvements in
water quality may be demonstrated
through routine ambient sampling.
Since there are several ongoing
programs to improve the water quality
in the estuary, it is difficult to attribute
these improvements to a specific
program. Currently, EPA is undertaking
a national study to evaluate the efficacy
of the NDZ designations and will
publish the results when they are
available.
15. Comment: One commenter asked
if EPA would be able to post an online
map of NDZs on the EPA Region 2 Web
page.
EPA Response: EPA Region 2 has
established a regional Web page that can
be viewed at the following link: EPA R2
Web page at: https://www.epa.gov/

The EPA national NDZ web page is
located at: https://www.epa.gov/owow/

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is
hereby given that a petition has been
received from the State of New York
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

The SSER encompasses 110,720 acres
of open water and intertidal area. The
waterbodies included in the SSER are
Shinnecock Bay (East and West),
Quantuck Bay, Moriches Bay (East and
West), Bellport Bay, Patchogue Bay,
Nicoll Bay, Great South Bay (West, East
and Great Cove), South Oyster Bay, East
Bay Complex, Middle Bay Complex and
Western South Shore Bay. New York
has provided documentation indicating
the SSER vessel population and the
number of pumpouts for each
embayment. Shinnecock Bay—East is
serviced by 3 pumpouts and has a vessel
population of 864 (288 vessels per
pumpout). Shinnecock Bay—West is
serviced by 1 pumpout and has a vessel
population of 1841 (1841 vessels per
pumpout). Quantuck Bay is serviced by
1 pumpout and has a vessel population
of 363 (363 vessels per pumpout).
Moriches Bay—East is serviced by 2
pumpouts and has a vessel population
of 951 (476 vessels per pumpout).
Moriches Bay—West is serviced by 5
pumpouts and has a vessel population
of 1829 (366 vessels per pumpout).
Bellport Bay is serviced by 2 pumpouts
and has a vessel population of 336 (168
vessels per pumpout). Patchogue Bay is
serviced by 11 pumpouts and has a
vessel population of 2814 (256 vessels
per pumpout). Nicoll Bay is serviced by
6 pumpouts and has a vessel population
of 1765 (294 vessels per pumpout).
Great South Bay—East and Great Cove
is serviced by 7 pumpouts and has a
vessel population of 1810 (259 vessels
per pumpout). Great South Bay—West is
serviced by 12 pumpouts and has a
vessel population of 5066 (422 vessels
per pumpout). South Oyster Bay is
serviced by 5 pumpouts and has a vessel
population of 1453 (291 vessels per
pumpout). East Bay Complex is serviced
by 4 pumpouts and has a vessel
population of 747 (187 vessels per
pumpout). Middle Bay Complex is
serviced by 8 pumpouts and has a vessel
population of 3392 (424 vessels per
pumpout). Western South Shore Bay is
serviced by 2 pumpouts and has a vessel
population of 705 (352 vessels per
pumpout).
The criterion established by the Clean
Vessel Act regarding the adequate
number of pumpouts per vessel
population is 1 pumpout per 300–600
vessels. All areas of the SSER meet or
exceed this criterion with the exception
VerDate Nov<24>2008
20:50 Nov 16, 2009
Jkt 220001
of Shinnecock Bay—West, which has
one pumpout per 1841 vessels.
Factoring in the adjacent waters,
Shinnecock Bay—East and Quantuck
Bay, 5 pumpouts service a vessel
population of 2492. The ratio is one
pumpout per 498 vessels, which meets
the criterion.

SUMMARY: Notice of availability for a 30

hereby given for six revised data
standards—Well Information Data
Standard, ESAR: Field Activity, ESAR:
Monitoring Location, ESAR: Analysis
and Results, ESAR: Project and Quality
Assurance and Quality Control Data
Standards.
ESAR, along with the suite of related
data standards, enhances the availability
and exchange of monitoring data used
for environmental decision-making.
Biological related data elements are
largely missing from ESAR and given
the importance and interest in these
data, the Environmental Council of
States (ECOS) and US EPA worked
together to adapt/incorporate two
Advisory Committee on Water
Information (ACWI) approved standards
into ESAR.
The ACWI approved Water Quality
Data Elements for Reporting Results of
Populations/Community Biological
Assessments and Toxicity Test Analyses
(TOX and POP) has been adapted for
inclusion in ESAR

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
[FRL-8977-1]
New York State Prohibition of Marine Discharges of Vessel Sewage;
Receipt of Petition and Final Affirmative Determination
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that a petition has been received from
the State of New York requesting a determination by the Regional
Administrator, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency--Region 2, that
adequate facilities for the safe and sanitary removal and treatment of
sewage from all vessels are reasonably available for the South Shore
Estuary Reserve (SSER), New York. The waters of the proposed No
Discharge Zone (NDZ) fall within the jurisdictions of the Town of
Southampton, the Town of Brookhaven, the Town of Islip, the Town of
Babylon, the Town of Oyster Bay and the Town of Hempstead. The entities
submitted an application prepared by the Peconic Baykeeper for the
designation of a Vessel Waste No Discharge Zone. New York State
Department of Environmental Conservation certified the need for greater
protection of the water quality.
EPA published a tentative affirmative determination on July 6, 2009
in the Federal Register. Public comments were solicited for 30 days and
the comment period ended on August 5, 2009. EPA Region 2 received a
total of twenty five (26) comments via letter (14) and e-mail (12). The
comment tally was twenty three (23) in favor and three (3) are
questioning or opposing the NDZ designation. This Federal Register
document will address all comments submitted in response to the July 6,
2009 (Volume 74 Number 127), Federal Register document.

Three (3) commenters are questioning or opposing the NDZ
designation.
1. Comment: One commenter stated that the pollution near the shore
comes from leaching septic tanks, fertilizer, and road runoff. The
boater uses his boat for a limited time during the season and stated
that what is needed is another sewer district.
EPA Response: This comment is beyond the scope of this action in
which EPA finds adequate facilities for the safe and sanitary removal
and treatment of sewage from all vessels are reasonably available for
the South Shore Estuary Reserve (SSER), New York. EPA has point and
nonpoint source control programs that address pollution from leaching
septic tanks, fertilizer, and road runoff.
2. Comment: The commenter asked why EPA was picking on boaters when
many beaches are closed due to storm water runoff and not from
overboard discharge.
EPA's Response: Regarding the comment of ``pick on the boaters''
Section 312(f)(3) of the Clean Water Act allows States to prohibit the
discharge of sewage, whether treated or untreated, from vessels for the
greater protection and enhancement of water quality. New York State has
exercised its option to support the petition put forth by the Peconic
Baykeeper. EPA's role is to determine whether adequate facilities, for
the safe and sanitary removal and treatment of the sewage, are
reasonably available. We have found the facilities in the proposed
areas are reasonably available and recommend finalizing our
determination. Sometimes beaches are closed due to high bacterial
counts from storm water or other sources. However, it should be noted
the intent of NDZ designation for the SSER is to protect the whole SSER
ecosystem not just beaches.
3. Comment: One commenter stated that his vessel is equipped with a
Lectrasan Marine Sewage Treatment System and produces cleaner treated
effluent than the publicly owned treatment works (POTWs). The commenter
asked whether it would be acceptable for the boat to discharge
overboard in the NDZ.
Response: EPA has classified the Lectra/San unit as a Type I MSD.
For Type I MSDs the effluent produced must not have a fecal bacterial
count greater than 1,000 per 100 milliliters and have no visible
floating solids. Due to the deficiencies in treatment (not 100% free of
pathogens), vessels using Lectra/San units are not permitted to
discharge in No-Discharge Zones. Once a NDZ is established, vessels
cannot discharge treated or untreated sewage into the waterbody (40 CFR
140.4).
Twenty three (23) commenters expressed strong support for the
establishment of a NDZ for SSER and commented that this Final
Determination was an important step in protecting the water quality of
the SSER and its marine resources. These commenters raised questions
and concerns regarding outreach, education, enforcement, pump out
facilities, water quality improvements, and legislative issues. These
comments are addressed below in general subject categories.
Adequate Pumpout Facilities
4. Comment: Many commenters expressed concerns about the adequacy
of existing pumpout facilities in the Great South Bay, including the
total number of facilities and the conditions and availability of the
pumpouts. In addition, a few commenters stated that there should be
more operable pump out facilities (Town of Babylon especially). One
commenter expressed the funding concern for increased numbers of pump
out facilities if needed.
EPA Response: The criterion established by the Clean Vessel Act
regarding the adequate number of pumpouts per vessel population is one
pumpout per 300 to 600 vessels. All areas of the SSER meet or exceed
this criterion, therefore, EPA has determined that there is an adequate
number of pumpouts. A number of pumpout boats operate in the SSER area
and are available for boaters' convenience. EPA recognizes the
importance of adequate pumpouts to service the boating activity within
a given waterbody. There are a sufficient number of pumpouts to service
the Great South Bay. The Towns of Brookhaven and Islip provide mobile
pumpout boats that operate in the Great South Bay (four boats total)
and can be hailed on channel 73. Environmental/stakeholder
organizations such as Peconic Baykeeper and the South Bay Cruising Club
have been encouraging the Town of Babylon to bring a pumpout boat on-
line. State agencies are contacted regarding inoperable or inaccessible
pumpouts for their assistance in expeditious resolution of the matter.
EPA will continue to refer complaints about non-operational pumpouts to
the appropriate State and local authorities if such complaints are
received.
5. Comment: One commenter stated that the depth of the waters
adjacent to the pump-out facilities are not deep enough to allow
sailboats with a draft over four feet to access them.
EPA Response: There are boats that may require greater depth for
pumpout. They have the option to use any of the four pumpout boats in
Islip and Brookhaven. Boaters can also anchor off in the area and call
out for service.
6. Comment: One commenter suggested that boaters need to see more
convenient and reasonable priced pumpout stations.
Response: As stated in the Response to Comment 4, EPA has
determined that there is an adequate number of pumpouts. Among all the
available pumpout stations the service charge varies mostly from free
of charge to $5 per service. EPA believes this is more than reasonable.
7. Comment: One commenter expressed concerns regarding where the
pumpout waste goes and the capacity of these facilities.
EPA Response: Sanitary waste water removed from pump out is
generally transported to municipal wastewater treatment plants. In a
few instances, the waste pumped out from vessels is pumped directly
into onsite septic systems.
Other Sources of Pollution in the (Great South Bay) GSB Area
8. Comment: One commenter stated that the water quality has
degraded year by year, that the Babylon Sewage treatment plant does not
remove the nitrogen, and not only has the water turned brown but it
smells bad. There is an uncertified shellfish area near the Fire Island
Inlet which has been closed by NYSDEC apparently due to impairment
related sewage discharge and the commenter asked how EPA plans to
correct this condition.
EPA Response: This comment is beyond the scope of this action.
However, EPA agrees that uncertified shellfish designation is
potentially due to stormwater and other nonpoint sources including
vessel waste. The Babylon facility whose treatment train does not
include nitrogen removal is an ocean discharge and should not affect
SSER water quality. Questions related to the shellfish designations in
the Great South Shore Reserve should be directed to the NYSDEC.
9. Comment: One commenter asked how the Babylon Sewage Treatment
Plant neutralizes the waste water before it is discharged in the water.
EPA Response: The Babylon (Bergen Point) facility is a secondary
wastewater treatment plant. Secondary treatment standards are
established by EPA for publicly owned treatment works (POTWs) and
reflect the performance of secondary wastewater treatment plants. These
technology-based regulations
[[Page 59178]]
apply to all municipal wastewater treatment plants and represent the
minimum level of effluent quality attainable by secondary treatment, as
reflected in terms of 5-day biochemical oxygen demand (BOD5) and total
suspended solids (TSS) removal. The Babylon facility does not discharge
into the Great South Bay. An extensive pipeline crosses the GSB and
extends a considerable distance out into the Atlantic Ocean where the
effluent discharged. The NYSDEC should be contacted for detailed
information regarding the Babylon facility.
Enforcement
10. Comment: One commenter expressed concerns that older boats are
not equipped with holding tanks and potentially contribute sewage to
the bay while anchored overnight. There are house boats and barges
where people live year round, that instead of pumping out and trucking
away, they may be pumping it directly into bayside canals.
EPA Response: Boats with Type I or Type II Marine Sanitation
Devices (MSDs) but without holding tanks are prohibited from using
these MSDs in a NDZ. Compliance in an NDZ requires that at the time of
boarding by a bona-fide law enforcement officer the vessel is incapable
of discharging. One does not have to be caught in the act of
discharging to be in violation of the law.
11. Comment: One commenter suggested a potential concern was that
there was insufficient state or local resources for enforcement of a
NDZ and possible resistance to the NDZ designation by local government
and boat owners due to lack of understanding of the benefits. In
addition, the commenter asked if funds are available for additional
staffing.
EPA Response: According to the SSER Comprehensive Management Plan,
published in 2001, to reduce impairments and to improve water quality,
Federal, State, and local governments are undertaking a heavily funded
and comprehensive program to reduce or eliminate all point and nonpoint
sources of pollution and to forestall or reverse a pattern of water
quality impairments throughout the region. The Management Plan lays out
a strategy for enforcement, cooperation, funding and staffing among the
federal, state, local and non-governmental organizations (NGOs).
12. Comment: One commenter suggested that each individual boat
should be declared a point source and required to get a permit. Another
commenter suggested that all boats with bathrooms should be required to
have boat inspection similar to car inspections that would require
boats to have the opening under the boat sealed before passing
inspection. They also commented that mariners that install toilets that
discharge into the waterways should be fined as well.
EPA Response: The Clean Water Act does not authorize EPA to require
NPDES permits from vessels beyond what is currently regulated by the
vacatur of the vessel exclusion (i.e., which resulted in EPA developing
the ``Vessel General Permit''). The Vessel General Permit (VGP)
regulates discharges incidental to the normal operation of vessels
operating in a capacity as a means of transportation. Recreational
vessels as defined in section 502(25) of the Clean Water Act are not
subject to this permit. In addition, with the exception of ballast
water discharges, non-recreational vessels less than 79 feet (24.08
meters) in length, and all commercial fishing vessels, regardless of
length, are not subject to this permit. Currently in the SSER there are
commercial transportation vessels which are required to obtain and
comply with the VGP permit. Recreational boats in the SSER are not
required to have NPDES permit coverage at this time. With regard to the
boat inspection, New York State enforcement of NDZs are captured under
the New York State Navigation Law. Under Article 3, Section 33(e),
paragraph 4 ``any vessel being operated upon waters of the state that
have been designated as a vessel waste NDZ may be boarded and inspected
by the department or health department or any lawfully designated
agents or inspectors thereof * * *.'' All certified peace officers are
agents of the state. This means a bona-fide law enforcement officer
(State, County, Village police, including bay constables, Harbor
Masters, etc.) can enforce the law. Therefore, EPA believes that the
enforcement of the NDZ is sufficient and therefore, no need to add
requirements such as a permit or inspection for boaters.
Public Education
13. Comment: Several commenters suggested public education to
promote awareness and cooperation of people polluting waters. One
commenter suggested that it is important to engage boaters in
conversations about the importance of properly disposing of sewage from
their boats and the benefits of a NDZ. As boating continues to increase
in popularity, one commenter suggested a strategy to provide voluntary
environmental programs and education to support a NDZ and other marine
pollution controls.
EPA Response: As part of instituting a NDZ, Peconic Baykeeper has
published and is distributing a Clean Boating Guide throughout the
estuary to educate the boaters on clean water practices and to inform
them of the location of pumpout facilities. Additional educational
efforts are expected from the South Shore Estuary Reserve Program
Office.
Outreach
14. Comment: One commenter inquired as to what kind of performance
measure on outreach efforts there was for the NDZ designations.
EPA Response: As a result of this designation approval,
improvements in water quality may be demonstrated through routine
ambient sampling. Since there are several ongoing programs to improve
the water quality in the estuary, it is difficult to attribute these
improvements to a specific program. Currently, EPA is undertaking a
national study to evaluate the efficacy of the NDZ designations and
will publish the results when they are available.
15. Comment: One commenter asked if EPA would be able to post an
online map of NDZs on the EPA Region 2 Web page.
EPA Response: EPA Region 2 has established a regional Web page that
can be viewed at the following link: EPA R2 Web page at: https://www.epa.gov/region02/water/ndz/
The EPA national NDZ web page is located at: https://www.epa.gov/owow/oceans/regulatory/vessel_sewage/vs_nodischarge_map.htm.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is hereby given that a petition has
been received from the State of New York 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 for South Shore Estuary Reserve (SSER) and its
harbors, bays and creeks within the following boundaries:

The SSER encompasses 110,720 acres of open water and intertidal
area. The waterbodies included in the SSER are Shinnecock Bay (East and
West), Quantuck Bay, Moriches Bay (East and West), Bellport Bay,
Patchogue Bay, Nicoll Bay, Great South Bay (West, East and Great Cove),
South Oyster Bay, East Bay Complex, Middle Bay Complex and Western
South Shore Bay. New York has provided documentation indicating the
SSER vessel population and the number of pumpouts for each embayment.
Shinnecock Bay--East is serviced by 3 pumpouts and has a vessel
population of 864 (288 vessels per pumpout). Shinnecock Bay--West is
serviced by 1 pumpout and has a vessel population of 1841 (1841 vessels
per pumpout). Quantuck Bay is serviced by 1 pumpout and has a vessel
population of 363 (363 vessels per pumpout). Moriches Bay--East is
serviced by 2 pumpouts and has a vessel population of 951 (476 vessels
per pumpout). Moriches Bay--West is serviced by 5 pumpouts and has a
vessel population of 1829 (366 vessels per pumpout). Bellport Bay is
serviced by 2 pumpouts and has a vessel population of 336 (168 vessels
per pumpout). Patchogue Bay is serviced by 11 pumpouts and has a vessel
population of 2814 (256 vessels per pumpout). Nicoll Bay is serviced by
6 pumpouts and has a vessel population of 1765 (294 vessels per
pumpout). Great South Bay--East and Great Cove is serviced by 7
pumpouts and has a vessel population of 1810 (259 vessels per pumpout).
Great South Bay--West is serviced by 12 pumpouts and has a vessel
population of 5066 (422 vessels per pumpout). South Oyster Bay is
serviced by 5 pumpouts and has a vessel population of 1453 (291 vessels
per pumpout). East Bay Complex is serviced by 4 pumpouts and has a
vessel population of 747 (187 vessels per pumpout). Middle Bay Complex
is serviced by 8 pumpouts and has a vessel population of 3392 (424
vessels per pumpout). Western South Shore Bay is serviced by 2 pumpouts
and has a vessel population of 705 (352 vessels per pumpout).
The criterion established by the Clean Vessel Act regarding the
adequate number of pumpouts per vessel population is 1 pumpout per 300-
600 vessels. All areas of the SSER meet or exceed this criterion with
the exception of Shinnecock Bay--West, which has one pumpout per 1841
vessels. Factoring in the adjacent waters, Shinnecock Bay--East and
Quantuck Bay, 5 pumpouts service a vessel population of 2492. The ratio
is one pumpout per 498 vessels, which meets the criterion.
