Proposed CERCLA Administrative Cost Recovery Settlement: Former Healy School Site, Fall River, Massachusetts, 25860-25861 [2021-09917]

Download as PDF 25860 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 89 / Tuesday, May 11, 2021 / Notices Issue 2: The number of available pumpouts is sufficient for the resident vessel population but not for the transient vessel population in Whitehall Bay. Response 2: In addition to the stationary pumpout facility open for public use in Whitehall Bay, nearby facilities are available to the southwest in Severn River (16 facilities) and to the northeast in Sandy Point/Mezick’s Pond (one facility). As such, transient vessel operators have an option available to them while operating within Whitehall Bay, as well as before or after transiting through the area. Issue 3: Most pumpout facilities are not open after dark and very few are open during winter. Response 3: The commenter is correct that few pumpout facilities offer around-the-clock service. However, numerous facilities across the proposed no-discharge zone are available to service vessels into the late afternoon and evening. It is reasonable to expect that vessel operators can identify suitable times and locations to pumpout during facility operating hours. During the off-season (winter) months, vessels can be pumped out at the six different pumpout facilities across the proposed no-discharge zone that continue to operate. The Annapolis City pumpout boat also remains in service during this time. While most pumpout facilities are closed, Maryland estimates that only a small percentage of vessels operate during the off-season, and typically only do so for short day trips. As such, EPA has determined that, because the reduction in pumpout service capacity coincides with a reduction in demand for pumpout services, the available facilities during the off-season months remain adequate and reasonably available to the small number of vessels requiring pumpouts. Based on the information provided by the State of Maryland and after consideration of the comments received, as well as information otherwise available to EPA, 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 for the thirteen identified waterbodies located in the City of Annapolis and Anne Arundel County and its tributaries such that the State of Maryland may establish a vessel sewage no-discharge zone. Through this notification, EPA also amends one of the geographic coordinates from an existing nodischarge zone for Perrin River. EPA’s final affirmative determination for Sarah Creek and Perrin River, Virginia, VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:13 May 10, 2021 Jkt 253001 published in the Federal Register on September 23, 2020, incorrectly identified one of the coordinates delineating the no-discharge zone boundary at the mouth of the Perrin River as 37°15′47.18″ N, 76°25′20.73″ W (85 FR 59796). This notification hereby corrects this coordinate to 37°15′43.52″ N, 76°25′25.71″ W (NAD 83). Diana Esher, Acting Regional Administrator, EPA Region III.
