The criteria for EPA to make its
determination are based on Clean Water
Act 312(f), 33 U.S.C. 1322(f), and EPA’s
implementing regulations found at 40
CFR 140.4. A detailed EPA guidance
document entitled ‘‘Protecting Coastal
Waters from Vessel and Marina
Discharges: A Guide for State and Local
Officials, Volume 1. Establishing NoDischarge Areas under section 312 of
the Clean Water Act (EPA 842–B–94–
004, August 1994)’’ provides additional
detail and informs EPA’s analysis. The
two primary criteria upon which an
affirmative decision is based are: (1) A
certifying statement of need by the state
that the waters described in the
application require greater
environmental protection; and (2)
VerDate Sep<11>2014
18:02 Sep 22, 2020
Fishing Creek). While these waterbodies
constitute nearly all of the county’s
waters, a few water bodies have been
excluded. The exclusions include two
inter-jurisdictional rivers that border the
county (the Patapsco River and Patuxent
River), as well as Curtis Creek, which
creates additional inter-jurisdictional
complications for no-discharge zone
management and is also the most
heavily industrialized creek in the
county with limited recreational boating
activity. Maryland’s proposed NDZ for
the 13 water bodies if approved would
total 27,379 acres, which would add to
the 3,500 acres of the Herring Bay nodischarge zone that was approved in
2002. (67 FR 1352, January 10, 2002).
Maryland has requested that should
EPA determine that one (or more) of the
13 creeks, bays, or rivers do not meet
the criteria for NDZ designation, such
individual part be denied
independently from the remaining
waters in the application as a whole. As
described in Maryland’s application,
local entities undertook robust public
outreach and held a number of public
meetings with boaters and other
stakeholders.

demonstration by the state that there are
adequate vessel sewage pumpout
facilities available to the boating public,
in lieu of direct discharge of treated
sewage into the waters described in the
application.
In the application, Maryland certified
that the waters of the City of Annapolis
and Anne Arundel County require
greater environmental protection than
provided by currently applicable
Federal regulations. All Anne Arundel
County tributaries drain into the
Chesapeake Bay. The Magothy River,
White Hall Bay/Meredith River, Severn
River, South River, Rhode River and
West River have been listed on current
or previous Clean Water Act 303(d) lists
of impaired waters by Maryland as

impaired for shellfish harvesting due to
fecal coliform. As such, many shellfish
beds are restricted or closed. All except
White Hall Bay/Meredith Creek are also
impaired for nutrients (nitrogen and
phosphorus) and all except the White
Hall Bay/Meredith Creek and West
River for total suspended solids (TSS).
While marine sanitation devices lower
fecal coliform levels, they do not
effectively eliminate nutrients or solids.
A no-discharge zone is expected to help
reduce levels of nutrients, total
suspended solids, and fecal coliform
within these impaired waters.

along with active centers of boatbuilding, fishing, crabbing, and
oystering from the earliest settlements
into the 1980s. In recent decades,
commercial vessels have largely given
way to so much recreational boating that
Annapolis is well known as ‘‘The
Nation’s Sailing Capital.’’ The U.S.
Sailboat and Powerboat Shows, held
annually in Annapolis each October

size of vessels and EPA guidance, the
estimated number of vessels requiring
pumpout facilities in the City of
Annapolis and Anne Arundel County
during peak occupancy is 2,924 vessels.
Based on the boater population in the
City of Annapolis and Anne Arundel
County, EPA guidance recommends that
46 pumpout facilities are needed to
adequately service the vessel
population. Maryland certified that
there are 63 marinas offering public
pumpout service, including 60
stationary units, nine portable units and
three mobile pumpout boats. A list of

Maryland provided documentation
indicating that the maximum total
vessel population is estimated to be
29,789 vessels, the majority of which are
recreational. The most conservative
vessel population estimates provided by
Maryland suggest that there are 7,182
vessels less than 16 feet in length,
10,307 vessels between 16 feet and 26
feet in length, 9,072 vessels between 26
feet and 40 feet in length, and 3,228

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
[FRL-10013-52-Region 3]
Clean Water Act: Maryland-City of Annapolis and Anne Arundel
County Vessel Sewage No-Discharge Zone for Thirteen Waters--Tentative
Affirmative Determination
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
[[Page 59789]]
ACTION: Notice of tentative affirmative determination.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that an application for a no-discharge
zone has been received from the Secretary of Natural Resources and
Secretary of the Environment on behalf of the State of Maryland
requesting a determination by the Regional Administrator, U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Region 3, that adequate
facilities for the safe and sanitary removal and treatment of sewage
from all vessels are reasonably available for thirteen waters located
in the City of Annapolis and Anne Arundel County, Maryland, pursuant to
the Clean Water Act. The EPA is requesting comments on this application
and whether EPA should finalize its tentative affirmative
determination, or make a negative determination, on the proposed
designation of a no-discharge zone for all and/or any of the thirteen
waters located in the City of Annapolis and Anne Arundel County as
provided in the Clean Water Act. The application is available upon
request from EPA (at the email address below) or at https://dnr.maryland.gov/boating/Documents/AANDZApplication.pdf.
DATES: Comments must be received in writing to EPA on or before October
23, 2020.
ADDRESSES: Comments should be sent to Matthew A. Konfirst, U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency--Mid-Atlantic Region, 1650 Arch Street,
Mail Code 3WD31, Philadelphia, PA 19103-2029, or emailed to
[email protected]. Only written comments will be considered.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Matthew A. Konfirst, U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency -Region III. Telephone: (215) 814-5801,
Fax number: (215) 814-5007; email address: [email protected].
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This proposed sewage no-discharge zone
includes 13 water bodies wholly within Anne Arundel County (Stoney
Creek, Rock Creek, Bodkin Creek, the Atlantic Marina Resort, Magothy
and Little Magothy Rivers, Severn River, South River, West and Rhode
Rivers, Podickory Creek, Sandy Point/Mezick Ponds, Whitehall Bay,
Oyster Cove and Fishing Creek). While these waterbodies constitute
nearly all of the county's waters, a few water bodies have been
excluded. The exclusions include two inter-jurisdictional rivers that
border the county (the Patapsco River and Patuxent River), as well as
Curtis Creek, which creates additional inter-jurisdictional
complications for no-discharge zone management and is also the most
heavily industrialized creek in the county with limited recreational
boating activity. Maryland's proposed NDZ for the 13 water bodies if
approved would total 27,379 acres, which would add to the 3,500 acres
of the Herring Bay no-discharge zone that was approved in 2002. (67 FR
1352, January 10, 2002). Maryland has requested that should EPA
determine that one (or more) of the 13 creeks, bays, or rivers do not
meet the criteria for NDZ designation, such individual part be denied
independently from the remaining waters in the application as a whole.
As described in Maryland's application, local entities undertook robust
public outreach and held a number of public meetings with boaters and
other stakeholders.

The criteria for EPA to make its determination are based on Clean
Water Act 312(f), 33 U.S.C. 1322(f), and EPA's implementing regulations
found at 40 CFR 140.4. A detailed EPA guidance document entitled
``Protecting Coastal Waters from Vessel and Marina Discharges: A Guide
for State and Local Officials, Volume 1. Establishing No-Discharge
Areas under section 312 of the Clean Water Act (EPA 842-B-94-004,
August 1994)'' provides additional detail and informs EPA's analysis.
The two primary criteria upon which an affirmative decision is based
are: (1) A certifying statement of need by the state that the waters
described in the application require greater environmental protection;
and (2) demonstration by the state that there are adequate vessel
sewage pumpout facilities available to the boating public, in lieu of
direct discharge of treated sewage into the waters described in the
application.
In the application, Maryland certified that the waters of the City
of Annapolis and Anne Arundel County require greater environmental
protection than provided by currently applicable Federal regulations.
All Anne Arundel County tributaries drain into the Chesapeake Bay. The
Magothy River, White Hall Bay/Meredith River, Severn River, South
River, Rhode River and West River have been listed on current or
previous Clean Water Act 303(d) lists of impaired waters by Maryland as
impaired for shellfish harvesting due to fecal coliform. As such, many
shellfish beds are restricted or closed. All except White Hall Bay/
Meredith Creek are also impaired for nutrients (nitrogen and
phosphorus) and all except the White Hall Bay/Meredith Creek and West
River for total suspended solids (TSS). While marine sanitation devices
lower fecal coliform levels, they do not effectively eliminate
nutrients or solids. A no-discharge zone is expected to help reduce
levels of nutrients, total suspended solids, and fecal coliform within
these impaired waters.
Anne Arundel County, Maryland, supports a long history of boating,
highlighted by the establishment in 1845 of the U.S. Naval Academy in
the
[[Page 59790]]
county seat and state capital, Annapolis, along with active centers of
boat-building, fishing, crabbing, and oystering from the earliest
settlements into the 1980s. In recent decades, commercial vessels have
largely given way to so much recreational boating that Annapolis is
well known as ``The Nation's Sailing Capital.'' The U.S. Sailboat and
Powerboat Shows, held annually in Annapolis each October since 1970,
are the largest in-the-water boat shows in the United States. The 2017
Portbook lists 96 recreational boating businesses in Anne Arundel
County; and identifies several more that support and depend on
recreational crabbing and fishing.
Maryland provided documentation indicating that the maximum total
vessel population is estimated to be 29,789 vessels, the majority of
which are recreational. The most conservative vessel population
estimates provided by Maryland suggest that there are 7,182 vessels
less than 16 feet in length, 10,307 vessels between 16 feet and 26 feet
in length, 9,072 vessels between 26 feet and 40 feet in length, and
3,228 vessels greater than 40 feet in length. Commercial traffic on
these waterways is limited to boat rental companies, public charter
boats and several small cruise ships. Based on the number and size of
vessels and EPA guidance, the estimated number of vessels requiring
pumpout facilities in the City of Annapolis and Anne Arundel County
during peak occupancy is 2,924 vessels.
Based on the boater population in the City of Annapolis and Anne
Arundel County, EPA guidance recommends that 46 pumpout facilities are
needed to adequately service the vessel population. Maryland certified
that there are 63 marinas offering public pumpout service, including 60
stationary units, nine portable units and three mobile pumpout boats. A

The use of these facilities imposes minimal cost. As shown in the
table below, pumpout facilities located within the proposed no-
discharge zone charge fees that range from $3.00 to $50.00, with 55 of
63 available facilities charging $5.00 or less, including 15 facilities
that are free to use. According to Maryland's application, the majority
of commercial vessels operating in the proposed no-discharge zone are
already equipped with holding tank capacity and therefore are not
expected to experience incremental cost increases associated with a
designation.
