1. Applicant: Captain Brandon Savory, 662 Ash St., Prescott AZ,
86305.
Activity for Which Permit is Requested: Waste management. The
applicant seeks an Antarctic Conservation Act permit for a planned
yacht-based expedition to the Antarctic Peninsula Region aboard the

and wildlife viewing. Designated pollutants that would be generated
during the trip include air emissions, wastewater (urine, grey water)

disposal at port. If disposal at sea is necessary during the voyage,
these wastes would be disposed of in offshore waters, complying with
the provisions of Article 5 of Annex III and Article 6 of Annex IV of
MARPOL Protocol. Food waste will either be macerated and discharged at
least 12 miles from shore or ice shelves or stored aboard the vessel
for disposal at port. All other solid waste and garbage will be stored
aboard the vessel for disposal at port.
Location: Antarctic Peninsula Region.
Dates of Permitted Activities: January 7, 2022-March 30, 2026.
