The eastern edge of the boundary is contiguous with the state/federal line also known as the Submerged Lands Act boundary line and Territorial Sea boundary. The boundaries were chosen based on easy line-of-sight locations and generally represent all navigational waters. There is only one harbor within the proposed Outer Cape Cod NDA, which is Nauset Harbor. Small skiffs owned by the residents of the area are the primary users of Nauset Harbor. Other vessels that would use the harbor would most likely come from Provincetown Harbor, Pleasant Bay, or Chatham Harbor, all of which are currently NDAs and have pumpout facilities for these boaters. Massachusetts has certified that there is one landside pumpout facility at Goose Hummock Marine in Orleans within the proposed area available to the boating public. The location, contact From latitude 70°10′0″ W 42°7′59″ N information, hours of operation, and water depth are provided at the end of this petition. Massachusetts has provided documentation indicating that the total vessel population is estimated to be 519 in the proposed area. It is estimated that 91 of the total vessel population may have a Marine Sanitation Device (MSD) of some type.

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 the Outer Cape Cod area.
    The Outer Cape Cod No Discharge Area will encompass the tidal 
waters for Chatham, Orleans, Eastham, Wellfleet, Truro, and 
Provincetown, and from mean high water out to the State/Federal 
boundary. Within Nauset Harbor, the NDA covers all tidal waters and all 
embayments including: Nauset Bay, Salt Pond, Salt Pond Bay, Woods Cove, 
Rachel Cove, and Mill Pond.
    The proposed No Discharge Area for the Outer Cape Cod:

 boundary of the NDA starting
 on the south side of Chatham
 is an imaginary line drawn
 between the western part of
 the outlet of Stage Harbor
 and the northern tip of
 Monomoy Island (All state
 waters east of Monomoy
 Island are included in this
 NDA).
The southwestern boundary      70[deg]0'36'' W      41[deg]32'30'' N     70[deg]0'11'' W      41[deg]29'15'' N

 navigational aids to the
 state/federal waters
 boundary.

 NDA follows the mean high
 water line from Chatham to
 Provincetown except at an
 imaginary line drawn
 between: (This imaginary
 line is across the mouth of
 Pleasant Bay, which is
 already an NDA).

The westernmost boundary on    70[deg]10'0'' W      42[deg]7'59'' N      70[deg]10'0'' W      42[deg]4'47'' N
 the northern side of Cape
 Cod is an imaginary line
 drawn from three miles off
 shore to the mean high water
 line in Provincetown (This
 imaginary line is contiguous
 with the Cape Cod Bay NDA).
The eastern edge of the
 boundary is contiguous with
 the state/federal line also
 known as the Submerged Lands
 Act boundary line and
 Territorial Sea boundary.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The boundaries were chosen based on easy line-of-sight locations 
and generally represent all navigational waters.
    There is only one harbor within the proposed Outer Cape Cod NDA, 
which is Nauset Harbor. Small skiffs owned by the residents of the area 
are the primary users of Nauset Harbor. Other vessels that would use 
the harbor would most likely come from Provincetown Harbor, Pleasant 
Bay, or Chatham Harbor, all of which are currently NDAs and have 
pumpout facilities for these boaters. Massachusetts has certified that 
there is one landside pumpout facility at Goose Hummock Marine in 
Orleans within the proposed area available to the boating public. The 
location, contact information, hours of operation, and water depth are 
provided at the end of this petition.
    Massachusetts has provided documentation indicating that the total 
vessel population is estimated to be 519 in the proposed area. It is 
estimated that 91 of the total vessel population may have a Marine 
Sanitation Device (MSD) of some type.
    The majority of coastline of the proposed area is the Cape Cod 
National Seashore, a 43,500 acre park established by Congress in 1961 
to, ``preserve the nationally significant and special cultural and 
natural features, distinctive patterns of human activity, and ambience 
that characterize the Outer Cape, along with the associated scenic, 
cultural, historic, scientific, and recreational values'', and to, 
``provide opportunities for current and future generations to 
experience, enjoy, and understand these features and values.''
    The various beaches, marshes, and harbors and their recreational 
opportunities attract thousands of visitors to Cape Cod every year. On 
the eastern shore of Cape Cod, from Chatham to Provincetown there are 
24 bathing beaches covering over thirty miles of coastline.
    The area contains known habitat for soft shelled clam, surf clam, 
sea scallop, quahog, ocean quahog, and blue mussel; all important 
recreational and commercial species.
