1New York State’s petition proposes to establish 

a NDZ that extends, in the northeast, to the U.S.- 

Canadian border. However, New York State’s 

jurisdiction over waters of the St. Lawrence River 

ends, in the northeast, at the St. Regis Mohawk 

Reservation border at the St. Lawrence-Franklin 

county line. Therefore, New York State does not 

have the authority under the Clean Water Act to 

establish a NDZ for the 2.9 miles of the St. 

Lawrence River that lie within the United States, 

between the St. Lawrence-Franklin county line and 

the U.S.-Canadian border. Accordingly, this 

tentative determination only regards the 

approximately 112 miles of the St. Lawrence River 

over which New York State has jurisdiction.

New York State Prohibition of 

Discharges of Vessel Sewage; Notice 

of Proposed Determination 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice of proposed 

determination. 

SUMMARY: By petition dated September 

20, 2012 and submitted pursuant to 33 

CFR 1322(f)(3) and 40 CFR 140.4(a), the 

State of New York certified that the 

protection and enhancement of the 

waters of the New York State portion of 

the St. Lawrence River and the 

numerous navigable tributaries, harbors 

and embayments thereof, requires 

greater environmental protection than 

the applicable Federal standards 

provide, and petitioned the United 

States Environmental Protection Agency 

(EPA), 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. On April 22, 2013, the EPA 

requested additional information 

regarding the population of commercial 

vessels using the subject waters and the 

availability of options for sewage 

removal from those vessels. Upon 

consideration of the petition, and 

subsequently obtained information 

regarding commercial vessels that has 

been made part of the administrative 

record, the EPA proposes to make the 

requested determination and hereby 

invites the public to comment. 

DATES: Comments relevant to this 

proposed determination are due by 

April 25, 2016. 

Petition: To receive a copy of the 

petition and/or any other part of the 

administrative record, please contact

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Proposed No Discharge Zone: The 

proposed Vessel Waste No Discharge 

Zone (NDZ) for the New York State 

portion of the St. Lawrence River 

includes the waters of the River within 

the New York State boundary, stretching 

from its southwestern boundary at 

Tibbetts Point, where the river meets 

Lake Ontario, to its northeastern 

boundary at the St. Lawrence-Franklin 

County Line, near Akwesasne, New 

York.1 The proposed NDZ encompasses 

approximately 112 miles of river and 

shoreline, and the numerous navigable 

tributaries, harbors, and embayments of 

the River—including, but not limited to, 

the New York State portions of the 

Raquette River, the Grass River, Brandy 

Brook, Sucker Brook, Whitehouse Bay, 

Oswegatchie River, Morristown Bay, 

Blind Bay, Chippewa Creek, Chippewa 

Bay, Crooked Creek, Goose Bay, Lake of 

the Isles, Eel Bay, South Bay, Carnegie 

Bay, Greens Creek, Otter Creek, Swan 

Bay, Spicer Bay, Carrier Bay, French 

Creek Bay, Sawmill Bay, Sand Bay, 

Dodge Bay, Millen Bay, Peos Bay and 

Grass Bay—and other formally 

designated habitats and waterways of 

local, state and national significance. 

Certification of Need: New York’s 

petition contains a certification by the 

Commissioner of the New York State 

Department of Environmental 

Conservation (NYSDEC) that the 

protection and enhancement of the New 

York State portion of the St. Lawrence 

River and the numerous navigable 

tributaries, harbors and embayments 

thereof, requires greater environmental 

protection than the applicable Federal 

standards provide. The certification 

states that the subject waters are of 

unique ecological, economic and public 

health significance, and that pathogens 

and chemicals contained in the 

currently-lawful effluent from 

discharging marine sanitation devices 

(MSDs) threaten public health and the 

environment and contravene the State’s 

ongoing efforts to control point and nonVerDate Sep<11>2014 17:44 Mar 23, 2016 Jkt 238001 PO 00000 Frm 00026 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 E:\FR\FM\24MRN1.SGM 24MRN1

point source pollution from, among 

other things, municipal discharges, 

combined sewer overflows and 

stormwater runoff. 

In support of the certification, the 

Commissioner notes that the St. 

Lawrence River supports a diversity of 

uses, including providing drinking 

water for approximately 17,000 people 

in New York, valuable wildlife habitat, 

a commercial shipping corridor, 

recreational boating and numerous sites 

for aquatic recreation. The River serves 

as an economic engine for the region, 

and is heavily used and enjoyed by the 

citizens of the many lakeshore 

communities and throughout the 

watershed. The River is also home to the 

Thousand Islands Region, an 

international tourism destination 

encompassing communities on both 

sides of the U.S. and Canadian border 

along the River and the eastern shores 

of Lake Ontario. While New York 

acknowledges that a No Discharge Zone 

designation alone will not obviate the 

need for other water quality 

improvement efforts, a NDZ for the St. 

Lawrence River would complement the 

benefits of the State’s other efforts to 

protect and improve water quality in the 

River. 

Adequacy of Sewage Removal and 

Treatment Facilities: In determining 

whether adequate facilities exist for the 

safe and sanitary removal and treatment 

of sewage from all vessels using a water 

body, the EPA relies on the ‘‘Clean 

Vessel Act: Pumpout Station and Dump 

Station Technical Guidelines,’’ (CVA 

Guidelines) published by the U.S. 

Department of the Interior, which 

provides that at least one pumpout 

station should be provided for every 300 

to 600 vessels over 16 feet in length. See 

59 FR 11297. The guidelines also 

provide that approximately 20% of 

vessels between 16 and 26 feet, 50% of 

vessels between 26 and 40 feet and all 

vessels over 40 feet in length can be 

assumed to have an installed toilet with 

some type of Marine Sanitation Device 

(MSD). Vessels below 16 feet in length 

are generally presumed not to have an 

MSD onboard. 

Estimated Recreational Vessel 

Population 

There is no single definitive source of 

information on the number of vessels, or 

vessels with MSDs, that frequent the St. 

Lawrence River. The number and 

distribution fluctuates depending on the 

time of year, day of the week, weather 

conditions and special events. In order 

to develop a reasonable estimate of 

recreational vessel population, New 

York relied on two major sources of 

information. The first was the New York 

Department of State’s (DOS’s) Clean 

Vessel Act Plan (‘‘Statewide Plan’’), 

released in 1996. The purpose of the 

plan was to characterize pumpout 

adequacy across New York State. From 

August 1994 to July 1995, DOS surveyed 

municipalities to assess the availability 

of public sewage pumpout facilities. 

Many private marina operators were 

also contacted. Private pumpouts and 

dump stations were initially estimated 

from the NYSDEC and New York Sea 

Grant boating guides, augmented with 

information on vessel registration, aerial 

photographs of peak season use and 

local plans and studies. Using data from 

the Statewide Plan, the estimated 

number of recreational vessels in 

Jefferson and St. Lawrence Counties, 

which border the St. Lawrence River, is 

a total of 3,775 vessels (3,170 and 605, 

respectively). 

The second, and more recent, source 

for information about the recreational 

vessel population in the proposed NDZ 

is the New York State Office of Parks, 

Recreation and Historic Preservation’s 

2012 Boating Report (OPRHP Report) for 

the counties of Jefferson and St. 

Lawrence, which encompass the 

proposed NDZ. The OPRHP Report 

provides a breakdown of the of the 

vessel registrations by vessel length for 

each county. Applying the CVA 

Guidelines, above, on the relationship 

between vessel length and MSDs to the 

data in the OPRHP Report yields an 

estimate of 2,611 vessels with MSDs 

registered in Jefferson and St. Lawrence 

counties, all of which, conservatively, 

were assumed to operate on the St. 

Lawrence River. 

Available Pumpout Facilities to 

Recreational Vessels 

The federal Clean Vessel Act of 1992 

made grants available to states for 

construction, replacement and 

renovation of recreational vessel 

pumpouts. The NYSDEC applied for the 

first federal grant in 1994 and initiated 

a statewide program known as the Clean 

Vessel Assistance Program (CVAP), 

managed and administered by the New 

York State Environmental Facilities 

Corporation (NYSEFC). The NYSEFC 

provides three distinct grant programs: 

CVAP Construction Grants (for new 

installations or replacement), CVAP 

Upgrade Grants (for improvements to 

existing pumpouts) and CVAP 

Operation & Maintenance Grants (for 

annual upkeep of pumpouts). The 

NYSEFC also provides funding for 

information and education on the 

benefits, use and availability of 

pumpouts. New York’s petition listed 22 

currently operating stationary CVAP 

pumpout facilities that serve the St. 

Lawrence River in Jefferson and St. 

Lawrence counties in the state, but the 

EPA’s review has determined the 

number to be 21. These facilities are 

summarized in Table 1, below. 

Ratio of Pumpout Facilities-toRecreational Vessels 

In calculating the ratio of pumpout 

facilities-to-vessels, only CVAP-funded 

facilities were considered. (If all 

pumpout facilities (CVAP and nonCVAP) are considered, the ratios would 

show even greater coverage.) This 

calculation shows that overall, within 

the proposed St. Lawrence River NDZ, 

there are an adequate number of 

stationary pumpout facilities to support 

the proposed NDZ, with a pumpout-tovessel ratio as high as 1:180 (using the 

estimate of 3,775 vessels from the 1996 

CVAP Statewide Plan) and as low as 

1:119 (using the estimate of 2,611 

registered vessels from the 2012 OPRHP 

Report). By either of the methods 

discussed above, there are currently 

sufficient pumpout facilities to meet the 

upper/maximum 1:600 ratio, and both 

ratios fall well below the lower/

minimum 1:300 ratio used to determine 

adequacy of pumpout facilities. 

Adequacy of Available Pumpout 

Facilities to Commercial Vessels 

Commercial vessel populations were 

estimated using data from the National 

Ballast Information Clearinghouse 

(NBIC), which records ballast water 

discharge reports for ships arriving at 

the two main commercial ports on the 

St. Lawrence River (U.S. side)— 

Ogdensburg and Massena. In calendar 

year 2011, ballast manifests showed 

eight vessels arriving in Ogdensburg and 

one in Massena. These vessels were 

either bulkers or passenger cruise ships. 

Most passenger cruise ships using ports 

in the proposed NDZ are smaller, 

chartered site-seeing boats, but this 

commercial traffic also includes two 

cruise passenger vessels (the St. Laurent 

and Pearl Mist), which can hold 200 to 

300 passengers each. In calendar year 

2010, there were four commercial 

arrivals at Ogdensburg and seven at 

Massena. Overall, at both ports 

combined, annual commercial traffic 

averages approximately one vessel per 

month. While other commercial vessels 

move through the proposed NDZ, they 

do not stop at the main commercial 

ports. 

Commercial vessels in the proposed 

NDZ that are too large to use a CVAP 

stationary pumpout facility may dock at 

either commercial port, and call a 

mobile septic waste hauler (pumpout 

truck) to meet the vessel and provide 

pumpout services at the dock. There are 


asabaliauskas on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
15704 Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 57 / Thursday, March 24, 2016 / Notices 

at least four mobile septic waste hauling 

companies with trucks that have the 

capacity to pumpout and transfer a 

combined total of 36,400 gallons of 

sewage to a local sewage treatment 

plant. Based on the low level of 

commercial vessel traffic using the ports 

in the proposed NDZ, and the transience 

of these vessels, the availability of four 

septic hauler pumpout truck companies 

provides adequate pumpout capacity for 

commercial vessels. These services are 

summarized in Table 2, below.

Based on a total recreational vessel 

population of 3,775 and 21 currently 

available pumpout facilities, the ratio of 

vessels to pumpouts is 180:1, which 

means there are significantly more 

pumpouts than the recommended range 

of 300–600:1. Also, based on the low 

level of commercial vessel traffic 

(approximately one vessel per month) at 

the two St. Lawrence River commercial 

ports and the transience of these vessels, 

the availability of four septic hauler 

pumpout truck companies provides 

adequate pumpout capacity for vessels 

that are too large to use the stationary 

pumpout facilities. Therefore, the EPA 

proposes to issue a determination that 

adequate pumpout facilities for the safe 

and sanitary removal and treatment of 

sewage for all vessels are reasonably 

available for the waters of the New York 

portion of the St. Lawrence River. 

A 30-day period for public comment 

has been opened on this matter and the 

EPA invites any comments relevant to 

its proposed determination. If, after the 

public comment period ends, the EPA 

makes a final determination that 

adequate facilities for the safe and 

sanitary removal and treatment of 

sewage from all vessels are reasonably 

available for the waters of the New York 

State portion of the St. Lawrence River, 

the State may completely prohibit the 

discharge from all vessels of any 

sewage, whether treated or not, into 

such waters.
