   PAI120501, CAFO, Andrew Laffey--Glenville Farms, 2391 Glenville Road, Cochranville, PA 19330. Andrew Laffey has submitted an application for an individual NPDES permit for an existing and proposed addition to CAFO known as Glenville Farms, 2391 Glenville Road Cochranville, PA 19330 in West Fallowfield Township, Chester County.

   The CAFO is situated near Muddy Run in Watershed 7K (TSF, MF). The CAFO will be designed to maintain an animal population of approximately 2,154 AEUs consisting of 1,000 milking cows, 400 dry cows and 475 heifers.

   Dairy cows will be housed in the proposed free stall barn, which will have the capacity to hold 1,200 cows. Approximately 200 dry cows and approximately 475 heifers will stay in the existing covered barn. Manure will be managed through proposed passive sand separator, mechanical solids separator, solid stacking and handling pad and a two stage HDPE-lined manure storage which will hold approximately 5.8 million gallons of manure. Existing manure management system will remain in placed and will be used for dry cows and heifers. The existing HDPE-lined manure storage has the capacity of 1.66 million gallons will stay continued in use while two, earthen manure storage lagoons, one at 2391 Glenville Road, has a capacity of 1.2 million gallons and another at 650 Gum Tree Road has a capacity of approximately 0.38 million gallons will be modified by the end of 2005. An HDPE liner with leak detection system similar to the one proposed for the new storage lagoon will be installed at these two lagoons. The total capacity of the manure storage facilities will be 9.12 million gallons which will be adequate per nutrient management plan.

   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 this 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 permit.

   The permit application and draft permit are on file at the Southeast Regional Office of the Department. Individuals may make an appointment to review the files by calling the File Review Coordinator at (610) 832-6003.

   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. 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.

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