[Continued from previous Web Page]

   The following permit applications to conduct mining activities have been received by the Department of Environmental Protection (Department). A copy of the application is available for inspection at the District mining office indicated above each application. Where a 401 water quality certification is needed for any aspect of a particular proposed mining activity, the submittal of the permit application will serve as the request for the certification.

   Written comments or objections, or requests for informal conferences on applications, may be submitted by any person or any officer or head of any Federal, State or local government agency or authority to the Department at the same address within 30 days of this publication, or within 30 days after the last publication of the applicant's newspaper advertisement, as provided by 25 Pa. Code §§ 77.121--77.123 and 86.31--86.34 (relating to public notices of filing of permit applications, opportunity for comment, and informal conferences).

   Where any of the mining activities listed below will have discharges of wastewater to streams, the Department will incorporate NPDES permits into the mining activity permits issued in response to these applications. The NPDES permits will contain, at a minimum, technology-based effluent limitations (as described in the Department's regulations--25 Pa. Code §§ 77.522, 87.102, 88.92, 88.187, 88.242, 89.52 and 90.102) for iron, manganese, suspended solids, settleable solids, alkalinity and pH. In addition to the above, more restrictive effluent limitations, restrictions on discharge volume, or restrictions on the extent of mining which may occur will be incorporated into a mining activity permit when necessary for compliance with water quality standards (in accordance with 25 Pa. Code Chapters 93 and 95). Persons or agencies which have requested review of the NPDES permit requirements for a particular mining activity within the above-mentioned public comment period will be provided with a 30-day period to review and submit comments on those requirements.

   Written comments or objections should contain the name, address and telephone number of persons submitting comments or objections; application number; and a statement of sufficient detail to inform the Department on the basis of comment or objection and relevant facts upon which it is based. Requests for an informal conference must contain the name, address and telephone number of requestor; application number; a brief summary of the issues to be raised by the requestor at the conference; and a statement whether the requestor desires to have the conference conducted in the locality of the proposed mining activities.

SEWAGE FACILITIES ACT

PLAN APPROVAL


Plan approvals granted under the Pennsylvania Sewage Facilities Act (35 P. S. §§ 750.1--750.20).

   Northcentral Regional Office:  Water Management Program Manager, 208 West Third Street, Suite 101, Williamsport, PA 17701-6448, (717) 327-0530.

   Ferguson Township, Centre County. The Department has approved an Act 537 update revision calling for the abandonment of the existing 0.125 mgd Ferguson Township Municipal Authority wastewater treatment facility and the construction of a pump station and force main to convey wastewater from Ferguson Township's Pine Grove Mills service area to the existing University Area Joint Authority wastewater treatment facility for treatment. The existing Pine Grove Mills area sewage treatment plant is badly deteriorated, hydraulically overloaded and it routinely violates its permit conditions for effluent quality, whereas the 6.0 mgd University Area Joint Authority facility has capacity for this service area, is in excellent condition and consistently produces compliant effluent. This project will not provide for an expansion of the existing Ferguson Township Municipal Authority service area. It will simply allow conveyance of the existing service area's wastewater into the UAJA system for treatment.

   The Department's review of the sewage facilities update revision has not identified any significant negative environmental impacts resulting from this proposal.
