   NPDES Permit No. PA0057819, Amendment No. 1, Sewage, SIC 4952, New Hanover Township Authority, 2990 Fagleysville Road, Gilbertsville, PA 19525.

   Description of Activity: Amendment of Sewage Treatment Plant's NPDES Permit to increase annual average flow from 0.825 mgd to 1.925 mgd.

   The receiving water, Swamp Creek, is in the State Water Plan Watershed 3E-Perkiomen and is classified for TSF, aquatic life, water supply and recreation. The nearest downstream public water supply intake for Aqua-PA is located on Perkiomen Creek and is approximately 12 miles below the point of discharge.

   In addition to the effluent limits, the permit contains the following major special conditions:

   1.  Discharge must not cause nuisance.
   2.  Whole Effluent Toxicity testing to be conducted after plant expansion.
   3.  Proper sludge disposal.

   PA0021857, Sewage, SIC 4952, Souderton Borough, 31 West Summit Street, Souderton, PA 18964. This Souderton facility is located in Franconia Township, Montgomery County. The following notice reflects addendum to the notice published in the 36 Pa.B. 3122 (June 24, 2006).

   The water quality-based effluent limit for copper in this proposed NPDES permit is based on conditions specific to the discharge site. The water quality criteria for copper found in 25 Pa. Code Chapter 16 has been revised based upon a recalculation of the criteria and the application of a Water Effect Ratio (WER) as allowed in 25 Pa. Code § 93.8.

   The revised copper criterion hardness equations for the wastewater discharge from the Souderton sewage treatment plant to Skippack Creek are as follows:

      CCCr: e(0.8545loge(H) - 0.99)
      CMCr: e(0.9422loge(H) - 0.9837)

   The pooled slopes for the chronic and acute equations are not revised for this recalculation and neither is the final acute-chronic ratio (FACR). Therefore, using these new equations and the site hardness of 143 mg/l as CaCO3 for the Skippack Creek, the site-specific recalculated copper criterion values are:

      CCCrs = 25.9 ug/L
      CMCrs = 40.1 ug/L

   The WER for this discharge was established as listed:

      WER (Dissolved) = 2.27
      WER (Total Recoverable) = 2.55

   Based on the previous data and using available dilution, the effluent limits for Copper (Total Recoverable) is 0.067 mg/l as an average monthly.

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

   Application No. PA 0021075, Sewage, Borough of Myerstown, 101 East Washington Avenue, Myerstown, PA 17067-1142. This facility is located in Jackson Township, Lebanon County.
