[Saturday, June 14, 2008]

THE CLEAN STREAMS LAW AND THE FEDERAL CLEAN WATER ACT

APPLICATIONS FOR NATIONAL POLLUTION DISCHARGE ELIMINATION SYSTEM (NPDES) PERMITS AND WATER QUALITY MANAGEMENT (WQM) PERMITS

   This notice provides information about persons who have applied for a new, amended or renewed NPDES or WQM permit, a permit waiver for certain stormwater discharges or submitted a Notice of Intent (NOI) for coverage under a general permit. The applications concern, but are not limited to, discharges related to industrial, animal or sewage waste, discharges to groundwater, discharges associated with municipal separate storm sewer systems (MS4), stormwater associated with construction activities or concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs). This notice is provided in accordance with 25 Pa. Code Chapters 91 and 92 and 40 CFR Part 122, implementing The Clean Streams Law (35 P. S. §§ 691.1--691.1001) and the Federal Clean Water Act.

Location Permit Authority Application Type or Category
Section I NPDES Renewals
Section II NPDES New or amendment
Section III WQM Industrial, sewage or animal waste; discharge into groundwater
Section IV NPDES MS4 individual permit
Section V NPDES MS4 permit waiver
Section VI NPDES Individual permit stormwater construction
Section VII NPDES NOI for coverage under NPDES general permits

   For NPDES renewal applications in Section I, the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) has made a tentative determination to reissue these permits for 5 years subject to effluent limitations and monitoring and reporting requirements in their current permits, with appropriate and necessary updated requirements to reflect new and changed regulations and other requirements.

   For applications for new NPDES permits and renewal applications with major changes in Section II, as well as applications for MS4 individual permits and individual stormwater construction permits in Sections IV and VI, the Department, based upon preliminary reviews, has made a tentative determination of proposed effluent limitations and other terms and conditions for the permit applications. These determinations are published as proposed actions for comments prior to taking final actions.

   Unless indicated otherwise, the EPA Region III Administrator has waived the right to review or object to proposed NPDES permit actions under the waiver provision in 40 CFR 123.24(d).

   Persons wishing to comment on an NPDES application are invited to submit a statement to the regional office noted before an application within 30 days from the date of this public notice. Persons wishing to comment on a WQM permit application are invited to submit a statement to the regional office noted before the application within 15 days from the date of this public notice. Comments received within the respective comment periods will be considered in the final determinations regarding the applications. Comments should include the name, address and telephone number of the writer and a concise statement to inform the Department of the exact basis of a comment and the relevant facts upon which it is based.

   The Department will also accept requests for a public hearing on applications. A public hearing may be held if the responsible office considers the public response significant. If a hearing is scheduled, a notice of the hearing will be published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin and a newspaper of general circulation within the relevant geographical area. The Department will postpone its final determination until after a public hearing is held.

   Persons with a disability who require an auxiliary aid, service, including TDD users, or other accommodations to seek additional information should contact the Department through the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984.

Notice of Draft Permit for Site-Specific Water Quality Criterion for Copper

   Under 25 Pa. Code § 16.24(e), the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) proposes to amend the following permit by incorporating the results of a Water-Effect Ratio (WER) into the calculation of the water quality based effluent limit for copper. The WER is a biological determination of a site-specific aquatic life criterion, determined by conducting toxicity testing on sensitive aquatic species using site or simulated site water and comparing it to testing performed using lab dilution water. The WER procedure recognizes that the physical and chemical characteristics of site water can influence the toxicity of a chemical on aquatic life. On December 13, 2005, the City of Saint Marys submitted a final report on the confirmatory WER tests for copper, which were conducted in June and November 2005. Following review of their sampling protocol and study results, Environmental Protection Agency determined that the WER listed to follow is approvable, and can be used to modify the subject NPDES permit copper limit.

   Alternate site specific criteria for copper have been developed by multiplying the fish and aquatic life copper criterion contained in Ch. 16, App. A., Table 1, by the following WER. The WER acts as a multiplier in the calculation of the NPDES permit limits for copper.

Facility Permit Number Receiving Stream Dissolved WER
City of Saint Marys PA0026387 Elk Creek 4.45

   The copper limitation has been removed, based on the site-specific criterion developed by means of the previous referenced WER process.

   This change will affect the copper limits of the Saint Marys' discharge only.

   Persons wishing to comment on this proposal are invited to submit a statement to:

   Regional Manager, Water Management
Department of Environmental Protection
230 Chestnut Street
Meadville, PA 16335-3481

   Comments must be received within 30 days from the date of this public notice. Comments received within this 30-day comment period will be considered in the formulation of the final determination regarding this proposal. Responses should include the name, address and telephone number of the writer and a concise statement to inform the Department of the exact basis of a comment and the relevant facts upon which it is based.

   Following the 30-day comment period, the Water Management Program Manager will amend and issue the final NPDES permit to reflect the results of the WER for copper.

   The proposal and related documents are on file and may be inspected and arrangements made for copying at the office indicated previously.
