 The boundaries were chosen based on easy line-of-sight locations and generally represent all navigational waters. The area includes the municipal waters of Camden, Rockport, Rockland and portions of Owls Head. There are marinas, yacht clubs and public landings/piers in the proposed area with a combination of mooring fields and dock space for the recreational and commercial vessels. Maine has certified that there are six pumpout facilities within the proposed area available to the boating public and the facilities are connected to the municipal sewage system. A list of the facilities, locations, contact information, hours of operation, and water depth is provided at the end of this petition. Maine has provided documentation indicating that the total vessel population is estimated to be 1151 in the proposed area. It is estimated that 813 of the total vessel population may have a Marine Sanitation Device (MSD) of some type. The proposed area is identified as a High Value Wildlife Habitat by the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The area constitutes almost 17 square miles of marine habitat, 450 acres of wetlands, and essential habitat for bald eagles. The area is adjacent to and bordered by several State parks including the Clam Cove Scenic Area, and the Owls Head Regional Recreation Area. There is one large marina, a yacht club and public boating facilities in Camden, and a boatyard and a large City owned park and dock in Rockland, and three large marinas, two boat repair facilities, working fishing wharfs and a city waterfront operation, together serving roughly 1151 boats. This area is a popular destination for boaters due to its natural environmental diversity and would benefit from a No Discharge Area.
