SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is 

hereby given that a petition has been 

received from the Commonwealth of 

Massachusetts requesting a 

determination by the Regional 

Administrator, U.S. Environmental 

Protection Agency, pursuant to Section 

312 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 all coastal 

waters of the Commonwealth of 

Massachusetts. 

The majority of Massachusetts waters 

have already been designated as ‘‘no 

discharge’’ for boat sewage. This 

petition covers three areas: a strip near 

the state-federal boundary spanning 

from Manchester-By-The-Sea to 

Marshfield, a corridor in Vineyard 

Sound, and a corridor in Nantucket 

Sound. The state wide NDA will 

seamlessly integrate the 20 smaller 

NDAs that have been designated in 

Massachusetts since 1991, while also 

incorporating the remaining 

undesignated coastal waters into the 

statewide prohibition on boat sewage 

disposal. The boundaries for this 

statewide NDA encompass all 

Commonwealth of Massachusetts 

coastal waters: from mean low water 

along the coast of Massachusetts, 

seaward to the state-federal boundary, 

north to the border with New 

Hampshire, and south to the border 

with Rhode Island: http:// 

www.mass.gov/eea/agencies/czm/ 

program-areas/coastal-water-quality/ 

ndas/). 

Previous NDA designations included 

estimates of the number of boats and 

number of Marine Sanitation Devices 

(MSDs) in each region of interest. Based 

upon the figures provided in each of the 

applications, there are an estimated 

23,080 vessels with MSDs using 

Massachusetts coastal waters. There are 

approximately 64 marinas, roughly 

25,000 permitted public slips, and 

moorings. Massachusetts has certified 

that there are a total of 132 pumpout 

facilities in coastal Massachusetts: 

http://www.mass.gov/eea/agencies/czm/ 

program-areas/coastal-water-quality/ 

clean-boating/pumpout-list.html. 

Boat owners spend close to $200 

million per year on new boats, engines, 

trailers, and accessories. Massachusetts 

has over 500 bathing beaches covering 

over 727 miles of sandy coastline. The 

shellfish habitat supports hundreds of 

commercial shellfishermen with a 

landings value of over $27 million. 

Coastal tourism and recreation employs 

over 125,000 individuals in 

Massachusetts and generates over $14 

billion.
