Thus all vessel sewage will be treated to meet existing standards for secondary treatment. Based on the examination of this petition, its supporting documentation, and public response, EPA concurs with the State of North Carolina’s determination that adequate and reasonably available facilities for the safe and sanitary removal and treatment of sewage from all vessels are present in the described area going from the South Carolina/North Carolina State line to the northern boundary of the Pender County line in North Carolina, with the inland limit of the NDZ in the Cape Fear River being the waterway known as Snow’s Cut (Snow’s Cut entrance to Cape Fear River located from 34°3′5.8962″ N; 77°55′4.8966″ W to 34°3′4.5216″ N 77°56′37.086″ W), and 3 nm out into the Atlantic Ocean, and therefore this area is designated as a NDZ. Marinas Outside of the Proposed NDZ, but Within 12 nm (1) Cape Fear Marina, 910–772–9277, 8 a.m.–5 p.m. Monday–Friday Weekends by appointment only, 8′ draft at mean low tide. The total vessel population for these three counties (2009 data) is 28,400. This number reflects active vessel registrations and was obtained from the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (inactive registrations were not included in these figures). It is recognized that only a small percent of the vessels in the coastal waters of Brunswick and Pender Counties 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 as follows: A. Stanley Meiburg, Acting Regional Administrator, Region 4. Boat Boat Boat Boat AGENCY: Length Length Length Length < 16′ ..... 16′–25′ .. 26′–40′ .. > 40′ ..... 8.3% with MSDs. 10.6% with MSDs. 78.5% with MSDs. 82.6% with MSDs. In applying these percentages an estimated 3,888 MSDs are in use by registered boats within the proposed NDZ. According to the New Hanover County NDZ Application submitted to EPA, the number of transient boats serviced by marinas in New Hanover County was calculated to be approximately 180 per month. Assuming similar numbers of transient boats for Brunswick and Pender Counties, the total number of transient boats for Brunswick, Pender, and New Hanover Counties would be 540. Using the figures for both county and transient boats, the total number of MSDs in these waters is estimated to be 4,428. There are 12 marinas within this area, and this yields a ratio of about 369 boats per pumpout facility. This figure does not include the 4 marinas that are located within 5 nm of this proposed NDZ area.
