Electronically.
If
you
submit
an

as
prescribed
in
this

EPA
recommends
that
you
include
your
name,
mailing

in
the

of
any
disk
or
CD
ROM
you
submit,
and
in
any
cover
letter
accompanying
the
disk
or
CD
ROM.
This
ensures
that
you
can
be
identified
as
the
submitter
of
the
comment
and
allows
EPA
to
contact
you
in
case
EPA
cannot
read
your
comment
due
to
technical
difficulties
or
needs
further
information
on
the

EPA's
policy
is
that
EPA
will
not
edit
your
comment,
and
any
identifying
or
contact
information
provided
in
the
body
of
a
comment
will

chemicals
under
review
and
the
receipt
of
notices
of
commencement
to
manufacture
those
chemicals.
This
status
report,
which
covers
the
period
from

New

State
Prohibition
on
Marine
Discharges
of
Vessel
Sewage;
Final
Affirmative
Determination
Notice
is
hereby
given
that
EPA
has
made
a
final
affirmative
determination
regarding
the
petition
received
from
the
State
of
New
York
on
April
29,
1999
requesting
a
determination
by
the
Regional
Administrator,
Environmental
Protection
Agency
(
EPA),
pursuant
to
Section
312(
f)(
3)
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
waters
of
the
Hudson
River
and
its
tributaries
including,
but
not
limited
to,
Rondout
Creek,
Esopus
Creek
and
Catskill
Creek.
This
petition
was
made
by
the
New
York
State
Department
of
State,
in
conjunction
with
the
New
York
State
Department
of
Environmental
Conservation.
New
York
State
certified
in
the
petition
a
need
for
greater
protection
and
enhancement.
The
certification
states
that
the
discharge
of
vessel
waste
often
contain
chemical
additives
such
as
formaldehyde,
phenols
and
chlorine.
These
wastes
increase
loadings
of
nutrients,
pathogens
and
chemical
loading
particularly
in
shallow,
poorly
flushed
waterbodies,
and
may
adversely
affect
water
quality,
sensitive
and
important
resources,
and
uses
of
these
waters.
The
Hudson
River
provides
habitat
for
fish
and
wildlife
species.
Congress
has
designated
the
Hudson
River
as
a
National
Heritage
Area
under
the
purview
of
the
National
Park
Service,
and
in
1998,
the
Hudson
River
was
designated
an
American
Heritage
River.
Upon
receipt
of
this
final
affirmative
determination,
the
State
of
New
York
will
completely
prohibit
the
discharge
of
sewage,
whether
treated
or
not,
from
any
vessel,
with
the
exception
of
commercial
vessels
that
are
greater
than
225
feet
in
overall
length
or
are
greater
than
20
feet
in
draft,
on
the
Hudson
River
in
the
area
north
of
the
Battery
in
Manhattan,
New
York
and
south
of
Federal
Dam
in
Troy,
New
York
in
accordance
with
Section
312(
f)(
3)
of
the
Clean
Water
Act
and
40
CFR
140.4(
a).
For
vessels
that
are
greater
than
225
feet
in
overall
length
or
are
greater
than
20
feet
in
draft,
the
prohibition
will
be
applicable
one
year
from
the
date
of
publication
in
the
Federal
Register.
Previously,
EPA
established
on
December
13,
1995
two
No
Discharge
Areas
(
NDAs)
to
protect
drinking
water
intake
zones.
Zone
1
is
bounded
by
the
northern
confluence
of
the
Mohawk
River
on
the
south
and
Lock
2
on
the
north.
It
is
approximately
8
miles
long.
Zone
2
is
bounded
on
the
south
by
the
Village
of
Roseton
on
the
western
shore
and
bounded
on
the
north
by
the
southern
end
of
Houghtaling
Island.
Zone
2
is
approximately
60
miles
long.
The
southern
boundary
of
the
proposed
NDA
in
this
application
would
begin
at
the
Battery
in
Manhattan,
New
York
and
the
northern
boundary
would
be
the
Federal
Dam
in
Troy,
New
York.
This
area
includes
waters
up
to
the
New
Jersey­
New
York
boundary
and
does
not
include
waters
in
New
Jersey.
The
area
proposed
by
the
State
of
New
York
is
153
miles
long
and
encompasses
approximately
81,000
acres
of
tidal
waters
and
wetlands.
On
October
24,
2000,
EPA
published
a
Receipt
of
Petition
and
Tentative
Determination
and
accepted
comments
from
the
public
for
a
thirty
(
30)
day
period.
The
comment
period
was
extended
until
December
22,
2000
at
the
request
of
one
of
the
commenters.

One
commenter
expressed
confusion
over
the
boundaries
of
the
Hudson
River
NDA.
His
confusion
was
caused
by
the
statement
that
some
vessel
operators
while
docked
at
the
Brooklyn
Naval
Yard
have
their
holding
tanks
pumped
out
by
waste
haulers.
Since
the
Brooklyn
Naval
Yard
is
on
the
East
River,
he
asked
whether
the
prohibition
included
the
East
River.
It
does
not
include
the
East
River,
but
boaters
may
choose
to
use
pumpout
facilities
located
outside
of
the
NDA
because
the
facilities
are
more
convenient
for
them.
For
example,
a
boater
who
keeps
his
boat
in
a
Staten
Island
marina
may
choose
to
use
the
pumpout
at
his
home
marina
because
it
is
convenient.
The
southern
boundary
of
the
proposed
No
Discharge
Area
(
NDA)
in
this
application
would
begin
at
the
Battery
in
Manhattan,
New
York
and
the
northern
boundary
would
be
the
Federal
Dam
in
Troy,
New
York.
This
area
includes
waters
up
to
the
New
Jersey­
New
York
boundary
and
does
not
include
waters
in
New
Jersey.
It
does
not
include
the
East
River,
the
Harlem
River,
the
Long
Island
Sound
nor
the
Raritan
Bay.
No
change
to
the
determination
is
necessary
based
on
this
comment.
Three
commenters
expressed
their
support
for
the
complete
prohibition
of
the
discharge
of
sewage
from
vessels.
They
believe
that
this
determination
is
an
important
step
in
maintaining
the
vitality
of
the
Hudson
River.
No
change
to
the
determination
is
necessary
based
on
these
comments.
One
commenter
compared
the
prohibition
to
a
``
chamber
pot''
approach
and
questioned
whether
making
waste
disposal
more
difficult
for
boaters
effectively
eliminates
sewage.
The
commenter
stated
that
marine
sanitation
devices
(
MSDs)
must
be
