ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
AGENCY
[FRL–9933–54–Region 2]
New York State Prohibition of
Discharges of Vessel Sewage; Notice
of Final Determination
Environmental Protection
Agency.
ACTION: Notice of determination.
AGENCY:
Notice is hereby given that,
pursuant to 33 CFR 1322(f)(3) and 40
CFR 140.4(a), the State of New York has
determined that the protection and
enhancement of the waters of Seneca
Lake, Cayuga Lake, the Seneca River
and tributaries thereto require greater
environmental protection than the
applicable Federal standards provide
and petitioned the United States
Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA), Region 2 for a determination that
adequate facilities for the safe and
sanitary removal and treatment of
sewage from all vessels are reasonably
available for the waters of Seneca Lake,
Cayuga Lake and the Seneca River, so
that the State may completely prohibit
the discharge from all vessels of any
sewage, whether treated or not, into
such waters. New York State proposes
to establish a vessel waste No Discharge
Zone (NDZ) covering the approximately
150 square miles of connected waters
and tributaries of Seneca Lake, Cayuga
Lake and the Seneca River.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Moses Chang, (212) 637–3867, email
address: chang.moses@epa.gov .
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is
hereby given that the State of New York
(NYS or State) has petitioned the United
States Environmental Protection
Agency, Region 2, 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
Seneca Lake, Cayuga Lake and the
Seneca River.
Adequate facilities are defined as one
sewage pumpout station for every 300 to
600 boats pursuant to the Clean Vessel

SUMMARY:
VerDate Sep<11>2014
14:19 Sep 08, 2015
Jkt 235001
Act: Pumpout Station and Dump Station
Technical Guidelines (Federal Register,
Vol. 59, No. 47, March 10, 1994).
On April 17, 2015, EPA published
notice of its tentative affirmative
determination that adequate facilities
for the safe and sanitary removal and
treatment of sewage from all vessels are
reasonably available for Seneca Lake,
Cayuga Lake and the Seneca River, and
its approval of New York’s proposal to
ban the discharge of treated and
untreated sewage from vessels into
those waters under Clean Water Act
(‘‘CWA’’) § 312(f)(3). (78 FR 59681,
September 27, 2013) EPA solicited
public comments for 30 days, and the
comment period ended on May 17,
2015. EPA received a total of twenty two
comments via letter and email. All of
the twenty two commenters support
EPA’s proposed determination. All of
the relevant comments received have
been considered, as discussed below,
and EPA hereby issues a final
affirmative determination that adequate
facilities for the safe and sanitary
removal and treatment of sewage from
all vessels are reasonably available
within Seneca Lake, Cayuga Lake and
the Seneca River.
EPA Response to Public Comments on
the April 17, 2015 Tentative
Affirmative Determination
Comment 1: Several commenters,
including boaters, residents, NonGovernmental Organizations (NGOs)
and community advocates expressed
strong support for the establishment of
a vessel waste no discharge zone
(‘‘NDZ’’) for Seneca Lake, Cayuga Lake,
the Seneca River and tributaries thereto.
Some commenters pointed out that this
action will reduce pathogens and
chemicals, improve water quality and
further protect drinking water, wildlife
habitats and restore the lakes.
EPA Response: The petition was
submitted under CWA § 312(f)(3), which
allows New York to establish a vessel
sewage no discharge zone if the state
determines that the protection and
enhancement of the quality of some or
all of the waters within the state require
greater environmental protection and if
EPA determines that adequate facilities
for the safe and sanitary removal and
treatment of sewage from all vessels are
reasonably available within those
waters. These comments are consistent
with New York’s determination of need.
Comment 2: One commenter
suggested that stricter enforcement
regulations for sewage discharge in
Seneca Lake, Cayuga Lake and the
Seneca River are needed.
EPA Response: We appreciate this
comment. EPA’s determination in the
PO 00000
Frm 00023
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
54281
present action is limited to whether
adequate facilities for the safe and
sanitary removal and treatment of
sewage from all vessels are reasonably
available within Seneca Lake, Cayuga
Lake and the Seneca River and does not
address the adequacy of enforcement of
the proposed ban. This comment is
noted but is beyond the scope of EPA’s
determination on this matter.
Comment 3: One commenter supports
the proposed NDZ and suggests that
EPA and DEC do more to protect water
quality from land use changes, pollution
discharges and energy development.
EPA Response: We appreciate this
comment. As noted above, EPA’s
determination in the present action is
limited to whether adequate facilities
for the safe and sanitary removal and
treatment of sewage from all vessels are
reasonably available within Seneca
Lake, Cayuga Lake and the Seneca River
and does not address the need for
additional efforts to protect water
quality. This comment is noted but is
beyond the scope of EPA’s
determination on this matter.
Certification of Need: New York’s
petition contains a certification by the
Commissioner of the New York State
Department of Environmental
Conservation (NYSDEC) that the
protection and enhancement of Seneca
Lake, Cayuga Lake, the Seneca River
and the navigable tributaries thereto,
requires greater environmental
protection than the applicable Federal
standards provide. The certification
states that Seneca Lake and Cayuga Lake
are water bodies of unique ecological,
economic and public health
significance, as well as drinking water
sources. Pathogens and chemicals
contained in the currently-lawful
effluent from discharging marine
sanitation devices (MSDs) threaten
public health and the environment and
contravene the State’s ongoing efforts to
control point and non-point source
pollution from municipal discharges,
combined sewer overflows and storm
water runoff. The proposed NDZ
represents one component of a
comprehensive approach to water
quality management. Protecting Seneca
Lake, Cayuga Lake and the Seneca River
warrants this greater level of
environmental protection in order to
maintain excellent water quality,
prevent future degradation and speed
the recovery of impaired segments.
Seneca Lake is the largest and deepest
of all the Finger Lakes at 4.2 trillion
gallons in volume and 291 feet in
average depth. The maximum depth of
the lake is 618 feet. The Seneca Lake
Watershed comprises 14% of the greater
Oswego River Watershed. While the
