Test Procedure Modifications From the 

Electrolux Interim Waiver 

The adaptive anti-sweat system in the 

four Electrolux models referenced above 

are identical or similar to those 

addressed by the March 3, 2009 Interim 

Waiver. Allowing Electrolux to test 

these models using the Alternate Test 

Procedure specified in the Interim 

Waiver would ensure Electrolux energy 

efficiency tests take into account 

advances in sensing technology, i.e., 

sensors that detect temperature and 

humidity conditions and interact with 

controls to vary the effective wattage of 

anti-sweat heaters to evaporate excess 

sweat consistent with the same method 

DOE has approved in connection with 

the Electrolux Interim Waiver and 

waivers granted to other 

manufacturers.6 The objective of the 

proposed approach is to simulate the 

average energy used by the adaptive 

anti-sweat heaters as activated in typical 

consumer households across the United 

States. 

Conclusion 

Electrolux urges the Assistant 

Secretary to expand the Interim Waiver 

granted to Electrolux and to revise the 

Electrolux Petition for Waiver to allow 

Electrolux to test for its new refrigerator 

models, identified by Model numbers 

EI28BS56IW/B/S, EW28BS71IW/B/S, 

EI23BC56IW/B/S, EW23BC71IW/B/S, as

ACTION: Notice of tentative 

determination. 

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that an 

application dated December 8, 2008 was 

received from the Commonwealth of 

Virginia on December 11, 2008 

requesting a determination by the 

Regional Administrator, EPA Region III, 

pursuant to section 312(f) of Public Law 

92–500, as amended by Public Law 95– 

217 and Public Law 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 navigable 

waters of the Broad Creek, Jackson 

Creek and Fishing Bay Watersheds in 

Middlesex County, VA. 

DATES: Comments and views regarding 

this application and EPA’s tentative 

determination may be filed on or before 

July 6, 2009.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

application was made by the Virginia 

Secretary of Natural Resources on behalf 

of the Commonwealth of Virginia 

Department of Environmental Quality 

(VDEQ). Upon receipt of an affirmative 

determination in response to this 

application, VDEQ would completely 

prohibit the discharge of sewage, 

whether treated or not, from any vessel 

in Broad Creek, Jackson Creek and 

Fishing Bay watersheds in accordance 

with section 312(f)(3) of the Clean Water 

Act and 40 CFR 140.4(a). 

Section 312(f)(3) states: After the 

effective date of the initial standards 

and regulations promulgated under this 

section, if any State determines that the 

protection and enhancement of the 

quality of some or all of the waters 

within such States require greater 

environmental protection, such State 

may completely prohibit the discharge 

from all vessels of any sewage, whether 

treated or not, into such waters, except 

that no such prohibition shall apply 

until the Administrator determines that 

adequate facilities for the safe and 

sanitary removal and treatment of 

sewage from all vessels are reasonably 

available for such water to which such 

prohibition would apply. 

The Broad Creek, Jackson Creek and 

Fishing Bay watersheds are located in 

the eastern-most part of Middlesex 

County (i.e., Deltaville), Virginia. The 

Broad Creek discharges north to the 

Rappahannock River near its confluence 

to the Chesapeake Bay. Jackson Creek 

discharges east into the mouth of the 

Piankatank River, and Fishing Bay 

discharges directly south to the 

Piankatank River, which discharges to 

the east to the Chesapeake Bay. These 

watersheds, including Porpoise Cove 

and Moore Creek, encompass an area of 

land and water of approximately 3.4 sq 

mi with nearly 18 miles of shoreline. All 

these water bodies are oligohaline and 

subject to the action of tides. The 

majority of the waters outside the bays 

are shallow with maintained channel 

depths of six to 10 feet, although some 

of the areas may not exceed four (4) feet 

in depth. 

Many people enjoy the Broad Creek, 

Jackson Creek and Fishing Bay 

watersheds for a variety of activities, 

including boating, fishing, crabbing, 

water skiing, and swimming. The 

shoreline surrounding these three 

watersheds includes 1,583 housing 

units (824 year round), public access 

areas, thirty two (32) marinas, boat 

launch facilities, and waterside 

restaurants. Both recreational and 

commercial large and small boats, 

personal watercraft, canoes, kayaks, 

water skiers, and swimmers enjoy these 

rivers for their recreational benefits. The 

full time resident population of 1,716 

people (increasing to several thousand 

during the summer months) use these 

adjacent areas for boating, fishing, and 

Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 106 / Thursday, June 4, 2009 / Notices 26859 

commercial shellfish cultivation and 

harvesting. 

The two Creeks and Fishing Bay host 

threatened, endangered and rare species 

of plants and animals, including more 

than forty (40) water dependent species. 

The waters of both the Rappahannock 

and Piankatank Rivers and their 

tributaries are historically known to 

accommodate migrating populations of 

more than ten (10) anadromous fish 

species. Marine mammals, sea turtles, 

and waterfowl are also dependent on 

the environmental quality of these three 

watersheds and surrounding areas. 

The waters of the Broad and Jackson 

Creeks have been under varying levels 

of shellfish condemnation for more than 

twenty (20) years. The 2006 Virginia 

Water Quality Assessment listed Broad, 

Jackson and Moore Creeks, Fishing Bay 

and Porpoise Cove as requiring total 

maximum daily loads’ determinations 

(TMDLs) for dissolved oxygen, aquatic 

plants and bacteriological impairments 

from fecal coliform and enterococci 

bacteria. In 2005, EPA Region III and the 

Virginia State Water Control Board 

(SWCB) approved a TMDL for the 

shellfish harvest use impairments on 

Broad and Jackson Creeks and the lower 

Piankatank River. Establishing a No 

Discharge Zone is one of the 

Commonwealth strategies in improving 

overall water quality in the lower 

Chesapeake Bay, and these identified 

reaches of the Rappahannock and 

Piankatank Rivers. The small tributaries 

to the Rappahannock and Piankatank 

Rivers noted within the areas to be 

designated are exceptional state 

resources in need of greater water 

quality protection than the current 

applicable Federal standards afford due 

to their high utilization by recreational 

vessels, significant shell- and finfish 

resources, and direct public contact 

with the affected waters. 

For the purposes of this application: 

A. The proposed Broad Creek 

Watershed No Discharge Zone is 

defined as all contiguous waters south 

of the line formed between the points 

formed by Latitude 37°33′46.3′′ N and 

Longitude 76°18′45.9′′ W) and north to 

Latitude 37°33′47.4′′ N and Longitude 

76°19′24.7′′ W). 

B. The proposed Jackson Creek 

watershed No Discharge Zone is defined 

as all contiguous waters west of the line 

formed between the points formed by 

Latitude 37°32′40′′ N and Longitude 

76°19′40.6′′ W) at Stove Point Neck and 

Latitude 37°32′46.8′′ N and Longitude 

76°19′15.6′′ W) at the western point of 

the entrance to the eastern prong of 

Jackson Creek. 

C. The proposed Fishing Bay No 

Discharge Zone is defined as all 

contiguous waters north of the line 

formed between the points formed by 

the Latitude 37°32′01.9′′ N and 

Longitude 76°21′43.5′′ W) at the 

southernmost tip of Bland Point and 

Latitude 37°31′29.4′′ N and Longitude 

76°19′53.6′′ W) at the southernmost tip 

of Stove point. This area includes all of 

Fishing Bay, and encompasses Moore 

Creek and Porpoise Cove. 

The Commonwealth of Virginia 

Department of Health (VDH) ensures 

that proper sanitary facilities are 

present. There are eighteen (18) marinas 

in Broad Creek, of which nine (9) 

waterfront marinas operating ten (10) 

sanitary pumpouts. The remaining nine 

Broad Creek marinas have no pump outs 

but seven (7) offer sanitary restroom 

facilities. In Jackson Creek, five (5) 

marinas operate six (6) sanitary sewage 

pumpouts and dump station facilities. 

The remaining four (4) Jackson Creek 

marinas have no pump outs but three (3) 

have sanitary restroom facilities. Within 

Fishing Bay, there are two (2) sewage 

pumpouts stations and one (1) under 

construction in Porpoise Cove. All of 

these facilities also provide dump 

stations, restrooms, and informational 

signage. Costs for pumpouts can vary 

from no charge to less than $15.00

The Commonwealth of Virginia 

Sanitary Regulations for Marinas and 

Boat Moorings specifies requirements 

for facility design and operation. 

Routine health department inspections 

and performance tests are performed to 

ensure that facilities are available and 

functioning properly. The Virginia State 

Water Control Law Section 62.1–44.33 

addresses vessel discharges and 

authorizes the State Water Control 

Board to adopt regulations controlling 

discharges from boats, which are listed 

and defined in 9 VAC 25–71–70, which 

also addresses, defines and designates 

No Discharge Zones (9 VAC 25–71–60). 

Broken pumpout stations can be 

reported to the Virginia Department of 

Health by calling 1–800–ASK–FISH. 

These regulations also address treatment 

of collected vessel sewage from 

pumpouts and dump stations. In 

compliance with these regulations, all 

wastes from marinas within the Broad 

and Jackson Creeks and Fishing Bay are 

collected in and transported by haulers 

who deliver them to municipal waste 

treatment facilities or private facilities 

permitted under the Commonwealth of 

Virginia Pollutant Elimination 

Discharge System for final treatment 

and disposal. 

According to the Commonwealth of 

Virginia’s application there are 

approximately 631 vessels operating in 

the Deltaville VA area (551 registered 

and 80 documented) on any given day 

based on boater registrations and 

observations. Transient boat population 

was not included in the VDH or VDEQ 

field reconnaissance. Based on this 

information, it is assumed that most 

transient boats are brought in by trailer. 

Most of these boats would not be of a 

size expected to have a holding tank. 

Transient boat counts have been 

estimated based on boat information 

given by the operators of the marinas in 

the Broad and Jackson Creeks and 

Fishing Bay areas. 

The estimated vessel population in all 

of the affected areas is based on length: 

297 vessels less than 16 feet in length, 

537 vessels between 16 feet and 26 feet 

in length, 1,239 vessels between 27 feet 

and 40 feet in length, and 42 vessels 

greater than 40 feet in length. Based on 

the number and size of vessels and EPA 

guidance for State and local officials to 

estimate the number of vessels with 

holding tanks, three (3) pumpouts and 

one dump station are needed for the 

Broad Creek. Currently, there are eleven 

(11) pumpout facilities and nine (9) 

dump stations in the Broad Creek. In 

Jackson Creek, four (4) pumpouts and 

one (1) dump station are required while 

six (6) pumpouts and three (3) dump 

stations exist. For Fishing Bay and the 

adjacent waters of Porpoise Cove and 

Moore Creek, two (2) pumpouts and one 

(1) dump station were required, while 

there are now two (2) pumpouts and 

two (2) dump stations currently 

available. 

Using the VDH submitted calculations 

and information, there are sufficient 

number of pumpout facilities and dump 

stations at the marinas in the waters in 

and around the affected areas to 

adequately service marine sanitary 

needs. These facilities are easily 

accessible to all vessels and provide safe 

and sanitary wastewater removal and 

treatment. EPA hereby makes a tentative 

affirmative determination that adequate 

facilities for the safe and sanitary 

Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 106 / Thursday, June 4, 2009 / Notices 26861 

removal and treatment of sewage from 

all vessels are reasonably available for 

the Broad and Jackson Creeks, the 

Fishing Bay and Porpoise Cove and 

Moore Creek areas, in and around 

Deltaville Virginia. The Commonwealth 

of Virginia has demonstrated that there 

is adequate and sufficient law 

enforcement capability of these 

regulations. The Commonwealth has 

also submitted data to document that 

local citizens, advocacy groups, and 

marina personnel are concerned about 

the adverse impacts from vessel sanitary 

discharges into the Broad and Jackson 

Creeks and Fishing Bay, and adjacent 

areas. In response to public meetings in 

May and June 2008, professional and 

public comments were all supportive of 

the decision to designate the affected 

areas as a no discharge zone. There were 

sufficient agency and environmental 

groups’ comments to also support these 

measures. 

A final determination on this matter 

will be made following the 30 day 

period for public comment and may 

result in a Virginia State prohibition of 

any sewage discharges from vessels in 

the Broad and Jackson Creeks and 

Fishing Bay areas. Comments and views 

regarding this application and EPA’s 

tentative determination may be filed on 

or before July 6, 2009. Comments or 

requests for information or copies of the 

application should be addressed to

Instructions: Direct your comments to 

Docket ID No. EPA–HQ–ORD–2009– 

0183. EPA’s policy is that all comments 

received will be included in the public 

docket without change and may be 

made available online at http:// 

www.regulations.gov, including any 

personal information provided, unless 

the comment includes information 

claimed to be Confidential Business 

Information (CBI) or other information 

whose disclosure is restricted by statute. 

Do not submit information that you 

consider to be CBI or otherwise 

protected through http:// 

www.regulations.gov or e-mail. The 

http://www.regulations.gov website is 

an ‘‘anonymous access’’ system, which 

means EPA will not know your identity 

or contact information unless you 

provide it in the body of your comment. 

If you send an e-mail comment directly 

to EPA, without going through http:// 

www.regulations.gov, your e-mail 

address will be automatically captured 

and included as part of the comment 

that is placed in the public docket and 

made available on the Internet. If you 

submit an electronic comment, EPA 

recommends that you include your 

name and other contact information in 

the body of your comment and with any 

disk or CD–ROM you submit. If EPA 

cannot read your comment due to 

technical difficulties and cannot contact 

you for clarification, EPA may not be 

able to consider your comment. 

Electronic files should avoid the use of 

special characters, any form of 

encryption, and be free of any defects or 

viruses.
