Download as PDF 24023 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 83 / Friday, April 29, 2011 / Notices Waterbody/general area From longitude The westernmost boundary on 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 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. 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, To longitude 70°10′0″ W To latitude 42°4′47″ N 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.
