Abstract

Pursuant to the Clean Water Act, the Commonwealth of Virginia has determined that the protection and enhancement of the quality of the waters of the Northern Neck peninsula require greater environmental protection. As such, Virginia has submitted an application to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA or Agency), Region 3, for a determination that adequate facilities for the safe and sanitary removal and treatment of sewage from all vessels are reasonably available, so that Virginia may completely prohibit the discharge from all vessels of any sewage, whether treated or not, into such waters. The proposed no-discharge zone includes waters in the counties of Richmond, Lancaster, Northumberland, and Westmoreland. Through this notice, the EPA is soliciting public comment on the Agency's tentative determination that adequate facilities for the safe and sanitary removal and treatment of sewage from all vessels are reasonably available for the waters subject to the proposed no-discharge zone.

Virginia--Waters of the Northern Neck Peninsula Vessel Sewage No-
Discharge Zone; Tentative Affirmative Determination

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of tentative determination.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Pursuant to the Clean Water Act, the Commonwealth of Virginia
has determined that the protection and enhancement of the quality of
the waters of the Northern Neck peninsula require greater environmental
protection. As such, Virginia has submitted an application to the U.S.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

Notice is hereby given that the Commonwealth of Virginia has
submitted an application to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency,
Region 3, for a determination under Clean Water Act section 312(f)(3)
that adequate facilities for the safe and sanitary removal and
treatment of sewage from all vessels are reasonably available for the
waters within the Northern Neck peninsula, including waters in
Richmond, Lancaster, Northumberland, and Westmoreland Counties
(hereafter, ``the Northern Neck'').
The EPA's role under Clean Water Act section 312(f)(3) is to review
state applications to determine whether adequate pump-out and treatment
facilities are reasonably available. Applications submitted pursuant to
section 312(f)(3) must include specific information, as outlined in
EPA's implementing regulations found at 40 CFR 140.4(a), related to the
need for a complete prohibition of vessel sewage discharges, the
location and operational details of available pump-out facilities, and
the vessel population and usage of the proposed waters. Virginia's
application is available electronically in Docket ID No. EPA-R03-OW-
2025-2004 through <a href="https://www.regulations.gov">https://www.regulations.gov</a>.
After consideration of all comments received, if the EPA makes a
final determination that adequate facilities for the safe and sanitary
removal and treatment of sewage from all vessels are reasonably
available for the Northern Neck, Virginia may completely prohibit the
discharge from all vessels of any sewage, whether treated or not, into
those waters through designation of a vessel sewage no-discharge zone.
Vessels with installed toilets are required to operate U.S. Coast
Guard-approved marine sanitation devices (MSDs). MSDs are either flow-
through

[[Page 56749]]

systems--Type I or Type II MSDs--that treat sewage before discharging
to surrounding waters or holding tanks--Type III MSDs--that retain
sewage onboard. Upon designation of a vessel sewage no-discharge zone,
vessels with flow-through systems that operate within the zone's
boundaries would need to retrofit to holding tanks to prevent any
overboard discharge. These vessels' holding tanks would then need to be
pumped out at available facilities. In lieu of retrofitting, vessel
operators may instead comply with U.S. Coast Guard regulations found at
33 CFR 159.7(b) that specify the acceptable methods of securing a flow-
through MSD to demonstrate compliance with a no-discharge zone. The EPA
must determine whether adequate facilities are reasonably available to
those vessels that would require access to pump-out facilities to
support the designation of a no-discharge zone.

II. Application Information

A. Proposed Waters and Certification of Need

As described in its application, the Commonwealth of Virginia has
determined that the protection and enhancement of the quality of the
waters of the Northern Neck require greater environmental protection
than is afforded by the applicable Federal standard. The proposed no-
discharge zone encompasses various waterbodies in the rural watersheds
of Virginia's Coastal Plain, specifically on the Northern Neck
peninsula, in the counties of Richmond, Lancaster, Northumberland, and
Westmoreland. All subject waters are tidal and drain directly into the
Chesapeake Bay or indirectly via the Rappahannock or Potomac Rivers.
The following waterbodies are included in the proposed no-discharge
zone: Rosier Creek, Mattox Creek and Monroe Bay, Nomini Creek and
Currioman Bay, Lower Machodoc Creek, Ragged Point, Gardner Creek,
Jackson Creek, Bonum Creek, Yeocomico River, Judith Sound, Coan River
and the Glebe, Cod Creek, Little Wicomico River, Great Wicomico River
and Ingram Bay, Cloverdale Creek, Dividing Creek, Indian Creek, Dymer
Creek, Tabbs Creek, Antipoison Creek, Windmill Point Resort, Little
Oyster and Windmill Point Creek, Mosquito Creek, Carter Creek,
Corrotoman River, Greenvale Creek, Deep Creek, Mulberry Creek,
Lancaster Creek (including Morattico Creek), and Farnham Creek.
Additional details on the geographic extent of the proposed waters,
including maps and the geographic coordinates of the water bodies'
boundaries, are provided in Virginia's application, which is available
in the docket.
The waters of the Northern Neck have extensive shellfish harvest
and aquaculture acreage, including five of the top 20 aquaculture sites
in Virginia. Additionally, these waters are important for recreational
activities like boating, fishing, and swimming. However, many of these
waters are poorly flushed and lack environmentally important submerged
aquatic vegetation. The shellfish growing areas have also been
compromised by bacterial impairment, resulting in non-attainment of
water quality standards. More specifically, each of the waterbodies
included in the proposed no-discharge zone contain areas with current
or recent shellfish harvest closures or restrictions. In its
application, Virginia indicates that the designation of a no-discharge
zone would complement other water quality improvement programs underway
in Virginia, such as the establishment of best management practices and
Total Maximum Daily Loads, by addressing pollutant loadings from
vessels.

B. Adequacy and Availability of Pump-out Facilities

The EPA's analysis of the reasonable availability of adequate
facilities considers the number of recreational and commercial vessels
that use the proposed waters on both a regular and transient basis. To
estimate the number of vessels operating in the proposed waters,
Virginia queried datasets maintained by the Virginia Department of
Wildlife Resources (DWR) and the United States Coast Guard (USCG) and
determined that there are approximately 11,000 vessels that may be
using the proposed waters. Because duplicates are expected across the
two datasets, this is likely an overestimate of the vessel population.
About 9,658 of these vessels are used for recreational purposes. This
vessel count is limited to those vessels that are 16 feet in length or
greater under the assumption that smaller vessels would not have an
installed toilet onboard. Recreational vessel traffic is seasonal,
largely occurring between April and November, with little traffic
during the winter season. Using a similar approach to the one described
in the state of Maryland's application to the EPA to designate certain
waters in Anne Arundel County as a no-discharge zone, Virginia also
estimated that there are about 892 transient vessels. Virginia reasons
that vessel traffic patterns may be similar since they are neighboring
states on the Chesapeake Bay but notes that the Northern Neck likely
experiences significantly less transient traffic as it is a less
developed area. Like the resident recreational vessel traffic,
transient vessel traffic also decreases during the winter and increases
during the summer. However, transient traffic is also high during
spring and fall months when boaters are relocating their vessels.
To estimate how many of these 10,550 recreational and transient
vessels have MSDs onboard, Virginia used the ``Recreational Vessel
Worksheet'' from the EPA's Guidance for Vessel Sewage No-Discharge Zone
Applications (Clean Water Act Section 312(f)). The Worksheet provides
default values for the percent of vessels, by length, that are expected
to have an MSD onboard. Based on these calculations, about 3,105
recreational and transient vessels are likely to require pump-out
services if a no-discharge zone is designated.
Virginia also estimates that there are 494 commercial vessels that
may operate in the waters of the Northern Neck peninsula, including 352
fishing vessels, 14 tug/barge/construction vessels, 10 search and
rescue/military vessels, 6 research vessels, 8 passenger vessels
(tours/ferries/charters), and 104 vessels of unspecified type. Virginia
indicates that the seasonality of commercial vessel traffic varies by
vessel type but generally follows similar patterns to recreational and
transient traffic except for the commercial fishing fleet, which has
year-round operations that track with the oyster harvesting season and
other key fisheries. Following conversations with vessel operators and
their representatives, Virginia estimates that, at most, 10 percent of
the 494 commercial vessels (i.e., about 50 commercial vessels) would
require pump-out services if a no-discharge zone is designated. This is
based on a determination that most of these vessels currently manage
sewage in a manner that would not be meaningfully impacted by a no-
discharge zone. The vessels carry portable toilets that are emptied at
dump stations; are equipped with holding tanks that are already being
pumped out; do not have installed toilets onboard; or are equipped
flow-through MSDs but operate for a limited time in the proposed waters
before transiting out to areas where sewage can be discharged.
In support of its application, Virginia provided information on the
stationary and portable pump-out facilities that are available to
service vessels operating in the waters of the Northern Neck, as
summarized in table 1 of this document. Of the 25 marinas with pump-out
facilities, 24 are publicly accessible, while one is a private,
members-only facility. Nineteen facilities store

[[Page 56750]]

pumped out sewage in a holding tank or on-site septic tank with removal
by a licensed septage hauler to a wastewater treatment facility, four
discharge directly to a public sewer system, and two maintain private
on-site waste treatment facilities. All of the facilities have at least
one universal connection for pumping out, while most of the facilities
have several other connection options as well. The Virginia Department
of Health performs annual inspections of marinas to ensure pump-out
facilities are operable, and specific design and operation requirements
are addressed in Virginia's Administrative Code (12VAC5-570).
Virginia expects that few vessels, if any, may be excluded from
accessing available pump-out facilities. The mean low water depth at
the facilities is comparable to the surrounding waterbodies and there
are no identified height restrictions. Because the facilities are not
evenly distributed across the waters proposed for designation,
Virginia's application included Automatic Identification System data to
approximate vessel traffic and density in the region. The data shows
that pump-out facilities are largely located in the areas experiencing
the most traffic, except for Antipoison Creek and Dividing Creek. These
two creeks, as well as those waters with the least vessel traffic and
no pump-out facilities, are surrounded by forest and agricultural land
with light residential use. As such, these waters are primarily used
for transit to and from the mainstem of the Chesapeake Bay and would
not have adequate traffic to support an economically viable marina.
Vessel operators in waters without pump-out facilities may either
travel to adjacent waterways to access facilities (between 5.5 and 10.9
miles) or travel outside of the no-discharge zone, if approved,
(between 0.25 and 3.2 miles) to discharge sewage. Vessel operators with
pump-out facilities nearby would also have the option to travel outside
of the no-discharge zone to discharge, in lieu of using available
facilities.
To determine whether sewage pump-out capacity for vessels is
sufficient to meet demand during periods of peak usage in the waters of
the Northern Neck, the EPA compared the number of vessels anticipated
as needing pump-out service during peak usage with the number of
vessels supported by existing pump-out facilities within the proposed
no-discharge zone. In its application, Virginia provided a completed
copy of the ``Recreational Vessel Worksheet'' discussed earlier in this
notice. The worksheet included the 50 commercial vessels expected to
require pump-out services because recreational, transient, and
commercial vessels are expected to access the same pump-out facilities.
Based on the total number of vessels operating during peak usage (e.g.,
a holiday weekend), the number of vessels serviced per hour by each
facility, and the hours of operation for each facility, the Worksheet
generates a recommended number of pump-out facilities to provide a
reliable level of service for the vessel population within a proposed
no-discharge zone. For purposes of the analysis, neither EPA nor
Virginia included the one private pump-out facility because it is
unclear how many vessel operators have access to it. However, it does
provide 24-hour services during the weekends to members free of charge.
The Worksheet assumes that 40 percent of recreational vessels would be
operating during peak usage, such as a holiday weekend. As such, both
Virginia and the EPA applied the peak occupancy rate of 40 percent to
the recreational and transient vessel population of 3,105, which
results in an estimated 1,242 of these vessels requiring pump-out
service during peak usage. In its application, Virginia uses two
approaches to calculate the number of commercial vessels that may be
operating during peak usage. The first applies this same 40 percent
modifier while the other conservatively includes all 50 commercial
vessels that are expected to require pump-out services if the no-
discharge zone is approved. For purposes of this analysis, the EPA
considered the more conservative approach. As such, 1,292 vessels are
expected to require access to pump-out facilities during peak usage,
but up to 1,456 vessels may be served by existing pump-out facilities
(see Section 7.0 of Virginia's application, available in the docket,
for the complete calculations). The EPA therefore expects that adequate
facilities are available to meet expected demand during periods of peak
usage. Additionally, the ongoing cost for recreational vessels to
access these facilities is minimal, with most publicly accessible
facilities (18 of the 24 facilities) charging 10 dollars or less per
pump-out. Information regarding each pump-out facility, including
location, operating hours, and fees, can be found in table 1 of this
document.
Because commercial vessels incur additional types of costs
associated with accessing pump-out facilities that recreational vessels
do not, the EPA evaluated the adequacy and reasonable availability of
facilities for commercial vessels using the ``No-Discharge Zone Cost
Analysis Tool'' (the Tool) from the EPA's Guidance for Vessel Sewage
No-Discharge Zone Applications (Clean Water Act Section 312(f)). The
Tool, which relies on a combination of default values and information
provided in Virginia's application, may be used to forecast how
frequently the demand for pump-out facilities (i.e., the volume of
sewage produced by commercial vessels) is projected to exceed
commercial vessel pump-out facility capacity (i.e., the volume of
sewage that can be pumped out) across a typical year. This screening
analysis is complemented by the cost analysis portion of the Tool,
which generates an estimate of the percent increase in baseline
operating costs that commercial vessels may incur as a result of using
pump-out facilities if the no-discharge zone is established. For
purposes of the analysis, the EPA divided the commercial vessel
population into five categories: tugboats (used for tugs/tows/barges/
construction vessels), commercial fishing vessels, excursion vessels
(used for tour and charter vessels), ferries, and offshore vessels
(used for research and search and rescue vessels). The EPA used
information provided by Virginia to determine the number of vessels in
each category that may be affected by a no-discharge zone designation.
The EPA conservatively included all 14 tugboats and five excursion
vessels. Ten percent of the commercial fishing fleet was included based
on information provided by Virginia regarding vessel sizes and
operational profiles. Of the three ferries, only one was included in
the analysis because the others do not have bathroom facilities
onboard. Finally, the offshore vessel category included all six
research vessels but just one search and rescue vessel, since Virginia
does not expect these vessels to be affected. Regarding available pump-
out facilities, the EPA included only the 24 publicly accessible
facilities. Default values were used for the cost inputs except for the
offshore vessel category, for which default values are unavailable.
Instead, the EPA used publicly available information regarding the 93-
foot vessel the R/V Virginia from the Virginia Institute of Marine
Science to approximate the cost inputs, such as annual baseline
operating costs and vessel speed, for this vessel type.
The EPA's screening analysis showed that demand for pump-out
services, represented by the volume of sewage to be pumped per day, is
far exceeded by available pump-out capacity in the proposed no-
discharge zone over a model year, and therefore should accommodate both
recreational and commercial vessels. The EPA also

[[Page 56751]]

considered the various costs incurred by commercial vessels associated
with accessing facilities, including pump-out fees and lost revenue due
to the time spent pumping out. The Tool estimates that the expected
increase in baseline operating costs would be 0.2 percent for tugboats,
1.8 percent for commercial fishing vessels, 2.3 percent for excursion
vessels, and 1.3 percent for offshore vessels. The increase is largely
attributable to lost revenue due to the time it takes to pump out
sewage from a vessel; therefore, savings may be achieved if the vessel
operators are able to time pump-out activities to minimize cost
impacts. The true percent increase is also likely lower because the EPA
used conservative values in populating the Tool. Based on the outputs
of the ``Recreational Vessel Worksheet'' and the Tool, the EPA
tentatively determined that facilities are reasonably available to
these vessels. A copy of the completed Tool that includes the
calculations and additional details regarding the underlying
assumptions is available in the docket.
Finally, the EPA evaluated whether waste would be treated in
conformance with Federal law if a no-discharge zone is established.
Within the Northern Neck, sewage from vessels is treated across seven
wastewater treatment facilities that are permitted under the Virginia
Pollutant Elimination Discharge System (VPDES). VPDES permits are
reviewed by the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality, revised
(if necessary), and reissued every five years if the facilities comply
with local, state, and Federal regulations. While two of these WWTPs--
Reedville and Town of Colonial Beach--have had VPDES violations within
the last five years, Reedville WWTP is now subject to a consent order
intended to bring that facility into compliance. The EPA tentatively
determines that, upon implementation of appropriate corrective actions,
the Colonial Beach WWTP could be operated consistent with Federal,
state, and local requirements. The seven facilities have design
capacities ranging from 0.030 million gallons per Day (MGD) to 10 MGD,
with average actual flows ranging from 0.006 MGD to 5.392 MGD. Virginia
estimates that the volume of sewage produced by vessels during a peak
weekend would be approximately 24 thousand gallons or 0.012 MGD over
two days. During a 68-month period between 2019 and 2024, only the Town
of Colonial Beach WWTP had average monthly flows nearing design
capacity during two of the months. The average monthly flow otherwise
represented an average of 47 percent of design capacity. Based on this
information, Virginia indicated that it does not anticipate any
facilities would exceed capacity due to increased volumes that may
result from establishment of a no-discharge zone.

III. Determination

In summary, the EPA makes a tentative determination that adequate
facilities for the safe and sanitary removal of sewage are reasonably
available to vessels that operate within the waters of the Northern
Neck peninsula identified in Virginia's application. This tentative
determination is based on an assessment of whether existing pump-out
facilities could meet the expected demand during periods of peak usage,
as well as a consideration of the costs associated with accessing those
facilities. The EPA tentatively finds that existing pump-out capacity
is adequate, accessing pump-out facilities would incur minimal costs,
and sewage is handled in conformance with Federal law by the pump-out
facilities and associated wastewater treatment facilities.
Based on the information above, the EPA Region 3 hereby makes a
tentative affirmative determination that adequate facilities for the
safe and sanitary removal and treatment of sewage from all vessels are
available for the waters of the Northern Neck peninsula in, Virginia,
including waters in Richmond, Lancaster, Northumberland, and
Westmoreland Counties as identified in Virginia's application. The EPA
is seeking public comment on the contents of the Commonwealth of
Virginia's application and the EPA's tentative affirmative
determination.
