[FRL–9901–45-Region2] 

New York State Prohibition of 

Discharges of Vessel Sewage; Receipt 

of Petition and Tentative Affirmative 

Determination 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Receipt of petition and tentative 

affirmative determination. 

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that, 

pursuant to Clean Water Act Section 

312(f)(3), the State of New York has 

determined that the protection and 

enhancement of the quality of the New 

York State (NYS or the State) area of 

Lake Erie requires greater environmental 

protection, and has petitioned the 

United States Environmental Protection 

Agency, 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 those waters, so that the 

State may completely prohibit the 

discharge from all vessels of any 

sewage, whether treated or not, into 

such waters. 

NYS has proposed to establish a 

‘‘Vessel Waste No Discharge Zone’’ for 

the NYS area of Lake Erie stretching 

from the Pennsylvania-New York State 

boundary to include the upper Niagara 

River to Niagara Falls. The proposed No 

Discharge Zone encompasses 

approximately 593 square miles and 84 

linear shoreline miles, including the 

navigable portions of the Upper Niagara 

River and numerous other tributaries 

and harbors, embayments of the Lake 

including Barcelona Harbor, Dunkirk 

Harbor and Buffalo Outer Harbor, and 

other formally designated habitats and 

waterways of local, state, and national 

significance. 

On December 6, 2012, the EPA 

completed the review of NYS’s petition 

and issued a tentative affirmative 

determination in the Federal Register 

that adequate facilities for the safe and 

sanitary removal and treatment of 

sewage from all vessels for such waters 

are reasonably available. During the 30- 

day public comment period, the EPA 

received significant comments regarding 

the availability of adequate pumpouts 

for commercial vessels. Specifically, 

two commenters submitted that the 

December 6, 2012 notice did not contain 

adequate information about the 

availability of pumpout facilities for 

large commercial vessels. Therefore, the 

EPA and New York State collected 

additional information to demonstrate 

the reasonable availability of pumpout 

services for commercial vessels that use 

the New York area of Lake Erie. The 

EPA hereby republishes its tentative 

affirmative determination with the 

additional information included. 

DATES: Comments regarding this 

tentative determination are due by 

October 28, 2013.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is 

hereby given that the State of New York 

has petitioned the United States 

Environmental Protection Agency, 

Region 2, (EPA) 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 

the NYS area of Lake Erie. 

New York State’s Certification of Need 

The New York State Department of 

Environmental Conservation (DEC) 

developed its petition in collaboration 

with the New York State Department of 

State (DOS) and the New York State 

Environmental Facilities Corporation 

(EFC) in order to establish a vessel 

waste No Discharge Zone (NDZ) on the 

open waters, tributaries, harbors and 

embayments of the New York State area 

of Lake Erie, and has submitted a 

Certification of the Need for Greater 

Protection and Enhancement of Lake 

Erie waters. Below is a summary of the 

basis for New York’s certification. 

The Great Lakes are the largest group 

of freshwater lakes on Earth, containing 

95% of the fresh surface water in the 

United States and acting as the largest 

single reservoir on Earth. The glacial 

history and the influence of the Lakes 

themselves create unique conditions 

that support a wealth of biological 

diversity, including over 200 globally 

rare plants and animals and more than 

40 species that are found nowhere else 

in the world. 

Lake Erie is the smallest and 

shallowest of the Great Lakes, with 

depths that range from an approximate 

average of 24 feet in the western basin, 

to 82 feet in the deeper eastern basin. 

Because of its shallowness, it warms 

quickly in the spring and summer and 

cools quickly in the fall. As a result, 

Lake Erie is the most biologically 

productive of the Great Lakes. 

The Lake Erie watershed is also home 

to approximately one-third of the total 

human population of the Great Lakes 

basin—11.6 million people (10 million 

in the U.S. and 1.6 million in Canada), 

including 17 metropolitan areas with 

more than 50,000 residents. The 

majority, 11 million people, receive 

their drinking water from the Lake. Of 

all the Great Lakes, Lake Erie is exposed 

to the greatest stress from urbanization, 

industrialization and agriculture. 

Because the Lake Erie basin supports 

the largest population, it also surpasses 

all the other Great Lakes in the amount 

of effluent discharged from sewage 

treatment plants. 

There are 18 designated Significant 

Coastal Fish and Wildlife Habitats in the 

two counties that comprise New York’s 

Lake Erie shoreline including: 

Cattaraugus Creek, Dunkirk Harbor, 

Buckhorn Island Wetlands and Grand 

Island Tributaries. These habitats are 

essential to the survival of a large 

portion of lake fish or wildlife 

population and support populations of 

species which are of special concern 

and which have significant commercial, 

recreational, and educational value. 

The New York State shoreline and 

waters of Lake Erie also host a variety 

of swimming, boating and recreational 

activities. These recreational activities 

act as a source of revenue to the regional 

economy by bringing people to the 

shoreline, where they patronize local 

businesses. 

Virtually all of Lake Erie is classified 

by New York State as Class A waters. 

This classification means that the best 

uses of these waters are for drinking, 

culinary or food processing purposes, 

recreation and fishing, and that the 

waters shall be suitable for fish, 

shellfish, and wildlife propagation and 

survival. Also, when the water in the 

Lake is used as a source of drinking 

water, it must comply with the New 

York State Department of Health’s 

(DOH) drinking water safety standards. 

There are currently six New York 

municipal and community water 

supplies, including Buffalo and Erie 

County, that draw water from Lake Erie 

to serve approximately 275,000 people. 

In summary, as one of the nation’s 

premier water bodies, Lake Erie 

supports several important uses, 

including drinking water supplies, 

valuable habitats, commercial shipping, 

recreational boating and other 

recreational activities, and serves as an 

economic engine for the region. The 

protection and enhancement of the open 

waters, tributaries, harbors and 

embayments of the New York State area 

of Lake Erie require greater protection 

than is afforded by applicable federal 

standards. An NDZ designation covering 

the NYS waters of the Lake represents 

one component of a comprehensive 

approach to water quality management, 

which also includes initiatives to 

control point and non-point source 

pollution, including pollution 

associated with municipal discharges, 

combined sewer overflows, and storm 

water runoff. 

Adequacy and Availability of Sewage 

Pumpout Facilities 

Adequate pumpout facilities for 

recreational vessels are defined, under 

the Clean Vessel Act, as one pumpout 

station for every 300—600 boats. See 

Clean Vessel Act: Pumpout Station and 

Dump Station Technical Guidelines 

(Federal Register, Vol. 59, No. 47, 

March 10, 1994). Two major sources of 

information were consulted to develop 

a reasonable estimate of recreational 

vessel population. The first was DOS’s 

Clean Vessel Act Plan (‘‘Statewide 

Plan’’), released in 1996. Using data 

from the Statewide Plan, the estimated 

number of recreational vessels in each 

of the counties bordering Lake Erie is 

2,029. The second source for the State’s 

estimate of the recreational vessel 

population is boater registrations, 

obtained through the New York State 

Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic 

Preservation’s 2010 Boating Report 

(OPRHP Report) for the counties of Erie 

and Chautauqua (all of which have 

shoreline on Lake Erie). The data in the 

OPRHP Report yields an estimate of 

2,204 vessels with marine sanitation 

devices (MSDs) in the respective 

counties, which are assumed to operate 

in Lake Erie. 

The State provided sufficient 

information about fifteen pumpout 

facilities that are publicly available for 

use by recreational and small 

commercial vessels in the New York 

State area of Lake Erie, and which either 

discharge to a holding tank, to a 

municipal wastewater treatment plant 

or to an on-site septic system. All fifteen 

were created through funding provided 

by the Clean Vessel Assistance Program 

(CVAP), and are thus required to be 

open to the public. Nine additional 

marinas are located along Lake Erie in 

New York State, including five at which 

CVAP funding could support the 

development of future pumpout 

facilities for recreational and small 

commercial vessels. However, only the 

fifteen CVAP funded facilities were 

considered in determining the adequacy 

and availability of pumpout facilities for 

those vessels. Those facilities are 

summarized in Table 1, below. Using 

those fifteen facilities, and the most 

conservative estimate of small vessel 

usage of the NYS area of the Lake, the 

ratio of pumpout facilities to 

recreational vessels is 15:2,204, or 

1:147. This ratio falls well within the 

range recommended in the Clean Vessel 

Act guidance, and therefore 

demonstrates that adequate pumpout 

facilities for the safe and sanitary 


pmangrum on DSK3VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 188 / Friday, September 27, 2013 / Notices 59683 

removal and treatment of sewage for 

recreational and small commercial 

vessels are reasonably available for the 

New York State area of Lake Erie. 

Lake Erie is also used by large 

commercial vessels. The commercial 

vessel population was estimated using 

data from the National Ballast 

Information Clearinghouse, which 

records ballast water discharge reports 

for ships arriving, among other places, 

at the commercial ports in Buffalo and 

Lackawanna. In 2010, ballast manifests 

showed 62 vessels arriving at the Port of 

Buffalo and one arriving at the Gateway 

Metroport, in Lackawanna. The majority 

(58) of these vessels were bulkers, with 

two passenger ship arrivals and one 

more listed as ‘‘other.’’ The single 

arrival in Lackawanna was also a bulker. 

Two commenters representing 

commercial vessel operators submitted 

comments stating that more than 62 

large commercial vessels use the New 

York State area of Lake Erie. One 

commenter estimated that the number 

was closer to 80, while the other 

commenter estimated that the number 

was ‘‘over a hundred.’’ 

Although there is no fixed 

commercial vessel pumpout facility at 

either the Port of Buffalo or the Port of 

Lackawanna, information submitted in 

the petition, and by companies that 

provide mobile pumpout services, 

demonstrates that at least four 

companies are available and qualified to 

provide pumpout services to large 

commercial vessels at either port. In 

addition to commenting on the number 

of commercial vessels using the NYS 

area of Lake Erie, the two commenters 

submitted criteria they believe are 

necessary for determining whether a 

pumpout truck is able to service their 

vessels. Those criteria were taken into 

consideration, and were partially 

incorporated into the list of final criteria 

the EPA used to determine the 

reasonable availability of those services. 

In addition, one commenter confirmed 

that, while large commercial vessels can 

hold multiple thousands of gallons of 

wastewater, it is more likely that when 

these vessels discharge sewage, their 

holding tanks contain less than 4,000 

gallons of wastewater. Based on all of 

this information, the EPA had 

determined that four mobile pumpout 

companies, with approximately ten 

pumpout trucks (listed in Table 2, 

below), are able to provide pumpout 

services to large commercial vessels at 

the ports of Buffalo and Lackawanna. 

Assuming, conservatively, that 100 large 

commercial vessels use the NYS area of 

Lake Erie and given that at least four 

companies with as many as ten 

pumpout trucks are able to provide 

pumpout services to these vessels at 

both New York ports, the ratio of 

pumpout facilities to commercial 

vessels is at least 4:100, or 1:25. While 

the Clean Vessel Act guidance applies, 

by its terms, only to recreational vessels, 

the ratio it recommends is instructive 

for purposes of determining the 

reasonable availability of pumpout 

services for large commercial vessels as 

well. In light of the relatively low ratio 

of pumpout companies to large 

commercial vessels (and the even lower 

ratio of pumpout trucks to large 

commercial vessels), adequate pumpout 

facilities for the safe and sanitary 

removal of sewage for large commercial 

vessels are reasonably available for the 

New York State area of Lake Erie.
