ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION

AGENCY

[FRL–5924–4]

New York State Prohibition on Marine

Discharges of Vessel Sewage; Final

Affirmative Determination

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that

the Regional Administrator,

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)

Region II has affirmatively determined,

pursuant to section 312(f) of Pub. L. 92–

500, as amended by Pub. L. 95–217 and

Pub. L. 100–4, (the Clean Water Act),

that adequate facilities for the safe and

sanitary removal and treatment of

sewage from all vessels are reasonably

available for the coastal waters of

Mamaroneck Harbor, Village of

Mamaroneck, County of Westchester,

State of New York.

A petition was made by the New York

State Department of Environmental

Conservation (NYSDEC) in cooperation

with the Village of Mamaroneck. Upon

receipt of this affirmative determination

in response to this petition, NYSDEC

will completely prohibit the discharge

of sewage, whether treated or not, from

any vessel in Mamaroneck Harbor in

accordance with section 312(f)(3) of the

Clean Water Act and 40 CFR 140.4(a).

Notice of the Receipt of Petition and

Tentative Determination was published

in the Federal Register on July 16, 1997.

Comments on the tentative

determination were accepted during a

30-day period which closed on August

15, 1997. No comments were received.

The Village of Mamaroneck is located

on Long Island Sound. Mamaroneck

Harbor encompasses numerous

wetlands, marshes and mud flats

including Guion Creek, Otter Creek, Salt

Creek and Van Amringe Mill Pond. The

No-Discharge Zone includes waters not

indexed lying northerly of a line drawn

in a northeasterly direction from the

southern tip of the sea wall at Orienta

Point near the Orienta Yacht Club at the

foot of Rushmore Avenue in

Mamaroneck, to a point on the

mainland immediately north of Spike

Island at the intersection of the

shoreline and the extension of the line

to the center gable of large stone and

stucco residence at No. 6 Shore Road in

the Greenhaven section within the City

of Rye.

Information submitted by the State of

New York and the Village of

Mamaroneck states that there are three

existing pump-out facilities available to

service vessels which use Mamaroneck

Harbor, and one additional facility

proposed for construction. One facility

is owned and operated by the

Mamaroneck Municipal Marina. This

facility is open continuously and

charges no fee for pump-out services. It

can service vessels up to 80 feet in

length with up to a 8 foot draft based on

the mean low water depth. A second

unit is planned at this facility with the

same operating schedule.

The other facilities are privately

owned and charge no fee for pump-out

services to patrons. They are located at

Nichols Boat Yard and Boston Post Road

Boat Yard. Operating hours for Nichols

Boat Yard pump-out are 0900 to 1700

hours, Monday through Friday and by

appointment on the weekend. It can

service vessels up to 40 feet in length

with up to a 6 foot draft based on the

mean low water depth. The other

facility is located at the Boston Post

Road Boat Yard and operates from 0830

to 1630 Monday through Friday. Length

and draft restrictions are 50 feet and 5.1

feet based on mean low water depth.

Within seven nautical miles of

Mamaroneck Harbor are five other

locations that provide pump-out

facilities.

Vessel waste generated from the

pump-out facilities in Mamaroneck

Harbor is disposed of in the Village of

Mamaroneck Waste Water Treatment

Plant. This plant operates under a State

Pollutant Discharge Elimination System

(SPDES) permit issued by the New York

State Department of Environmental

Conservation.

According to the State’s petition, the

maximum daily vessel population for

the waters of Mamaroneck Harbor is

approximately 1160 vessels. This

estimate is based on summer weekend/

holiday levels of usage and includes

1040 vessels berthed in marinas of

Mamaroneck Harbor and less than 120

transient vessels in Mamaroneck

Harbor.

The EPA hereby makes a final

affirmative determination that adequate

facilities for the safe and sanitary

removal and treatment of sewage from

all vessels are reasonably available for

Mamaroneck Harbor in the Village of

Mamaroneck, New York. A final

determination on this matter has been

made and will result in a New York

State prohibition of any sewage

discharges from vessels in Mamaroneck

Harbor.

Dated: November 4, 1997.

William J. Muszynski,

Acting Regional Administrator.
