   Location:  The Meadows at Sugarloaf, Phases II-V.
Sugarloaf Township, Luzerne County.

   Project Description:  This residential project will involve the subdivision of a 151.595 acre parcel of land into 135 building lots. Total sewage flows will be 35,500 gpd with treatment to be provided by the Conyngham Borough Authority Wastewater Treatment Facility. Wastewater will be conveyed by an 8-inch collection system that will tie into the existing Manhole No. 7 at T-420 at Phase I of the development.

   The Conyngham Borough Authority Wastewater Treatment Facility is currently under prohibitions regarding new sewage connections. Currently, the Rhed Development Corporation is allocated three Equivalent Dwelling Units (EDUs). No additional building permits beyond the three EDU limit may be issued until Rhed Development obtains additional wastewater connection allocations from Sugarloaf Township.

   This project is located on the southside of T-420, 0.5 mile west of the intersection with S. R. 0093 in Sugarloaf Township, Luzerne County, Pennsylvania.

   Smithfield Township, Monroe County.

   Project Description:

   The Department has reviewed the following documents which have been submitted to us as a revision to Smithfield Township's Act 537 Sewage Facilities Plan:

   --Special Study for the Marshalls Creek Sewer Extension, A Revision to the Smithfield Township Act 537 Plan, dated November 1996, Revised December 1996 and January 1997 (received January 22, 1997), as prepared by F. X. Browne, Incorporated.

   --February 7, 1997, letter from F. X. Browne, Incorporated, to the Department, including enclosures (received February 11, 1997).

   The Plan Revision was adopted by Township Resolution No. 148. dated January 14, 1997.

   The Department has found that the Plan Revision is acceptable and hereby grants planning approval. This review has also not identified any significant environmental impacts resulting from this proposal.

   The proposed project consists of a sanitary sewer system extension from existing Manhole No. 242, on Business Route 209, to the Marshalls Creek area; including gravity sewers, low pressure sewers with grinder pumps, three pumping stations, force mains and appurtenances.

   The proposed sewer extension will provide sewer service to (1)  46 existing residential trailers in Yetter's Park, (2)  44 existing commercial EDUs in Jay Park, (3)  15 existing commercial EDUs and 15 projected commercial EDUs in Village Center and (4)  12 existing commercial EDUs and 3 residential EDUs along Business Route 209.

   The proposed method for financing this project consists of a loan from the Pennsylvania Infrastructure Investment Authority (PENNVEST) and a $4,500 connection fee to reduce the amount that needs to be borrowed.

   Based upon various cost and financial information provided with the Plan Revision and with the pending PENNVEST Application, it appears that the total annual cost to operate, maintain and pay the debt service for the existing sewerage system during 1997 will be approximately $970,700, or about $2,090 per year for each of the 464 equivalent dwelling units (EDUs) currently on the system. It is our understanding that the total actual annual user fee which the Smithfield Sewer Authority presently charges is $550 per EDU. Upon completion of the Marshalls Creek sewer extension and the previously approved Franklin Hills sewer extension, there will be approximately 620 EDUs on the system and the annual cost per EDU will decrease to approximately $1,790. At that time, the Authority intends to increase the assessed annual user fee to $600 per EDU. The Authority and Township are currently exploring various options to cover the funding deficit.

   In accordance with the provisions of the Pennsylvania Sewage Facilities Act (35 P. S. § 750.1--750.20(a)) (Act 537), and Chapter 71 of the Department's Rules and Regulations (25 Pa. Code Chapter 71), the Department will hold Smithfield Township responsible for the complete and timely implementation of the Update's chosen alternative.
