The operation will consist of 2,180 finishing swine. There will be one 82 feet wide and 226 feet long barn onsite with a 6-foot deep reinforced concrete manure storage area under the building. There will be a 6 1/2 months manure storage which equals 693,097 gallons. Of the 1,236,600 gallons of manure generated on the farm, 435,000 gallons will be used on the farm with 801,600 exported from the farm.

   The receiving stream, UNT to Raystown Branch, is in the State Water Plan watershed 11-D and is classified for TSF.

   The proposed effluent limits for the operation/activity include: Except for the chronic or catastrophic rainfall events defined as over the 25 year/24 hour rain storms, the CAFO general permit is a nondischarge NPDES permit. Where applicable, compliance with 40 CFR Federal effluent limitation guidelines is required. The general permit requires no other numeric effluent limitations and compliance with Pennsylvania Nutrient Management Act and The Clean Stream Law constitutes compliance with the State narrative water quality standards.

The multiple manure storage facilities that are utilized with this operation include a 150,00 gallon concrete pit and a 365,000 gallon concrete pit. As needed, temporary stacking areas for solid manure are used before land application. Of the 2,792 tons of solid cattle manure generated on the farm, 1,338 is used on the farm with 1,454 ton exported from the farm. Of the 1,121,600 gallons of liquid cattle manure generated on the farm, 1,032,000 gallons are used on the farm with 89,600 gallons exported from the farm. Of the swine manure generated on the farm, 462,800 gallons of liquid manure is generated with 255,450 gallons being used on the farm and 207,350 gallons exported from the farm; 2,775 ton of solid manure is generated with all of it being exported from the farm.

   Sections 302--305 of the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (Act) require the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) to publish in the Pennsylvania Bulletin an acknowledgment noting receipt of a Notices of Intent to Remediate. An acknowledgment of the receipt of a Notice of Intent to Remediate is used to identify a site where a person proposes to, or has been required to, respond to a release of a regulated substance at a site. Persons intending to use the background standard, Statewide health standard, the site-specific standard, or who intend to remediate a site as a special industrial area, must file a Notice of Intent to Remediate with the Department. A Notice of Intent to Remediate filed with the Department provides a brief description of the location of the site, a list of known or suspected contaminants at the site, the proposed remediation measures for the site and a description of the intended future use of the site. A person who demonstrates attainment of one, or a combination of the cleanup standards, or who receives approval of a special industrial area remediation identified under the Act, will be relieved of further liability for the remediation of the site for a contamination identified in reports submitted to and approved by the Department. Furthermore, the person shall not be subject to citizen suits or other contribution actions brought by responsible persons not participating in the remediation.

   Under sections 304(n)(1)(ii) and 305(c)(2) of the Act, there is a 30-day public and municipal comment period for sites proposed for remediation using a site-specific standard, in whole or in part and for sites remediated as a special industrial area. This period begins when a summary of the Notice of Intent to Remediate is published in a newspaper of general circulation in the area of the site. For the sites identified, proposed for remediation to a site-specific standard or as a special industrial area, the municipality, within which the site is located, may request to be involved in the development of the remediation and reuse plans for the site if the request is made within 30 days of the date specified. During this comment period the municipality may request that the person identified, as the remediator of the site, develop and implement a public involvement plan. Requests to be involved and comments, should be directed to the remediator of the site.

   For further information concerning the content of a Notice of Intent to Remediate, contact the Environmental Cleanup Program Manager in the Department Regional Office under which the notice appears. If information concerning this acknowledgment is required in an alternative form, contact the Community Relations Coordinator at the appropriate Regional Office listed.
