Waterbody/General Area
The westernmost landward 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 then continues from the southern tip of
Monomoy Island through two navigational aids to the state/federal waters
boundary ......................................................................................................
The landward boundary of the 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 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 boundaries were chosen based on
easy line-of-sight locations and
generally represent all navigational
waters. The area includes the municipal
waters of Chatham, Orleans, Eastham,

the Commonwealth of Massachusetts
had petitioned the Regional
Administrator, Environmental
Protection Agency, to determine that
adequate facilities for the safe and
sanitary removal and treatment of
sewage from all vessels are reasonably
available for the waters of the Outer
Cape Cod. Four comments were
received on this petition. The response
to comments can be obtained utilizing

The petition was filed pursuant to
Section 312(f)(3) of Public Law 92–500,
as amended by Public Laws 95–217 and

Section 312(f)(3) states: After the
effective date of the initial standards
and regulations promulgated under this
section, if any State determines that the
protection and enhancement of the
quality of some or all of the waters
within such State 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.
This Notice of Determination is for
the waters of the Outer Cape Cod. The
NDA boundaries are as follows:

ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
The Director of the Office of
Ecosystem Protection, EPA–New
England, is issuing a notice of
availability of the final National
Pollutant Discharge Elimination System
(NPDES) General Permits for certain
Publicly Owned Treatment Works
Treatment Plants (POTW treatment
plants) and Other Treatment Works
Treating Domestic Sewage (collectively,
‘‘facilities’’) in the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts (including both
Commonwealth and Indian country
lands) and the State of New Hampshire.
Throughout this document, these two
permits are collectively referred to as
the ‘‘Publicly Owned Treatment Works
General Permit’’ (‘‘POTW GP’’ or the
‘‘General Permit’’). The General Permit
replaces the prior POTW GP, which
expired on September 23, 2010 (the
‘‘expired POTW GP’’).
The POTW GP establishes Notice of
Intent (‘‘NOI’’) requirements as well as
effluent limitations, standards, and
prohibitions for facilities that discharge

to fresh and marine waters. Coverage
under these General Permits is available
to facilities in Massachusetts classified
as minor facilities and to facilities in
New Hampshire classified as major or
minor facilities. Owners and/or
operators of these facilities, including
those facilities whose authorization to
discharge under the expired POTW GP
was administratively continued in
accordance with the Administrative
Procedures Act (5 U.S.C. 558(c)) and 40
CFR 122.6, will be required to submit an
NOI to be covered by the final POTW
GP to both EPA–New England and the
appropriate state agency, in accordance
with the notification requirements of the
General Permit. Following EPA and
State review of the NOI, the facility will
receive written notification from EPA
whether coverage and authorization to
discharge under the General Permit has
been granted. The eligibility
requirements for permit coverage,
including the requirement that a facility
have a receiving water dilution factor
equal to or greater than 50, are provided
in the General Permit. The General
Permit does not cover new sources as
defined under 40 CFR 122.2.
DATES: The POTW GP shall be effective
on July 6, 2011 and will expire at
midnight, July 6, 2016. In accordance
with 40 CFR Part 23, these permits shall
be considered issued for the purpose of
judicial review two (2) weeks after the
Federal Register Publication. Under
Section 509(b)(2) of the Clean Water
Act, the requirements in this permit
may not be challenged at a later date in
civil or criminal proceedings to enforce
these requirements. In addition, these
permits may not be challenged in other
agency proceedings.
ADDRESSES: The required notification
information to obtain permit coverage is
provided in the POTW GP. This
information shall be submitted to both
EPA and the appropriate state agency.
Notification information may be sent via
regular or overnight mail to EPA–Region
