61168 Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 200 / Monday, October 16, 2000 / Notices

According to the State’s petition,

there are a total of 18,840 vessels

registered in Virginia where the

principal area of usage is in one of the

three counties surrounding Smith

Mountain Lake. This assumes that (1)

when boats are used in one of the three

counties they are used on Smith

Mountain Lake and that, (2) the boats

may be stored anywhere in Virginia but

are principally used on Smith Mountain

Lake, so a good number of regular

transient vessels are included in the

figure. Most of the recreational vessel

population is limited to the season from

April to October. Transient boats from

other states and Virginia registered boats

that are principally used elsewhere, but

may at times be brought to Smith

Mountain Lake, are not included in this

number. An assumption can be made

that the majority of such boats would be

trailerable. This is supported by Health

Department marina inspection slip

counts which indicate only 53 out of

2,417 slips or moorings at commercial

marinas are designated as transient

vessel slips. Low demand for transient

slips probably indicates boats are

trailered and ramp launched. Most of

the trailerable boats would not be of a

size expected to have a holding tank. All

18,840 vessels would not occupy the

lake at the same time. The information

suggests that as far as simultaneous

occupancy of the lake this number is

high, or more likely, it is very high for

the smaller, easily trailered boats, and

somewhat more accurate for the larger,

site-committed boats. The vessel

population based on length is 4,705

vessels less than 16 feet in length,

13,309 vessels between 16 feet and 26

feet in length, 749 vessels between 26

feet and 40 feet in length, and 77 vessels

greater than 40 feet in length. Based on

number and size of boats, and using

various methods to estimate the number

of holding tanks, it is estimated that six

pumpouts and seven dump stations are

needed for Smith Mountain Lake. As

described above, there are currently 17

operational pumpout facilities and 27

operational dump stations in Smith

Mountain Lake.

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

Smith Mountain Lake, Bedford,

Franklin and Pittsylvania Counties,

Virginia. This final determination will

result in a Virginia State prohibition of

any sewage discharges from vessels in

Smith Mountain Lake.
