II.  Applications for New or Expanded Facility Permits, Renewal of Major Permits and EPA Non-Waived Permit Applications

   Southcentral Region: Water Management Program Manager, 909 Elmerton Avenue, Harrisburg, PA 17110, (717) 705-4707.

   PA 0088901, Concentrated Animal Feeding Operation (CAFO), Franklin Family Farms (Mountain View #1 and #2 Farms), 419 West High Street, Elizabethtown, PA 17022-2189.

   Franklin Family Farms has submitted an application for an individual NPDES permit for an expanding CAFO known as Mountain View Farms (#1 Farm existing, #2 Farm proposed), located on Frystown Road in Bethel Township, Berks County.

   The CAFO is situated near an unnamed tributary of Little Swatara Creek in Watershed 7-D, which is classified for cold water fishery. The CAFO will be designed to maintain an animal population of approximately 1,796 animal equivalent units (AEUs) consisting of 14,300 swine (7,700 swine existing, 6,600 swine proposed). The animals will be housed in a total of seven barns (six barns containing 2,200 swine and one barn containing 1,100 swine). Manure from the existing Mountain View #1 operation is stored in a two-stage HDPE-lined holding pond system with a design storage capacity of approximately 2.2 million gallons. Manure from the proposed Mountain View #2 operation would be stored in a similar facility as the #1 operation, with a design storage capacity of approximately 2.4 million gallons. Prior to operation of the manure storage facilities, the design engineer will be required to submit certification that the facilities were constructed in accordance with appropriate Pennsylvania Technical Guide Standards. A release or discharge to waters of the Commonwealth under normal operating conditions is not expected. Normal operating conditions are defined as conditions below a 25-year, 24-hour storm event.

   The Department has conducted administrative and technical reviews of the application. Based on the preliminary review and application of lawful standards and regulations, the Department has made a tentative determination to issue an NPDES permit for the operation subject to the terms and conditions and monitoring and reporting requirements specified in the draft permit.

   The permit application and draft permit are on file at the Southcentral Regional Office of the Department. Individuals may make an appointment to review the files by calling the File Review Coordinator at (717) 705-4732.

   The EPA permit waiver provision under 40 CFR 123.24(e) does not apply to this NPDES permit.

   Persons wishing to comment on the proposed permit are invited to submit written comments to the previous address within 30 days from the date of this public notice. Comments received within this 30-day period will be considered in formulating the Department's final determination regarding the application. All comments should include the name, address and telephone number of the writer and a concise statement to inform the Department of the basis of the comment and the relevant facts upon which it is based.

   Following the 30-day comment period, the Water Management Program Manager will make a final determination regarding the proposed permit. Notice of this determination will be published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin at which time the determination may be appealed to the Environmental Hearing Board.
