   Application No. PA 0259853, CAFO, Hillandale Gettysburg, LP, 370 Spicer Road, Gettysburg, PA 17325. Hillandale Gettysburg, LP has submitted an application to amend the existing Individual NPDES permit for an existing CAFO known as the Hillandale Site 2 Farm, located in Tyrone Township, Adams County.

   The CAFO is situated near UNTs of Conewago Creek, which are classified for WWF. The CAFO is currently designed to maintain an animal population of approximately 4,182 animal equivalent units (AEUs) consisting of 1,000,000 laying hens and 595,000 pullets. Hillandale has proposed expansion of the farm including construction of nine new layer barns, two new egg washwater storage facilities and two new egg processing facilities. The expansion plan also calls for the remodeling of two pullet barns and decommissioning of five pullet barns. When the proposed expansion is complete the CAFO will maintain an animal population of approximately 10,376 AEUs consisting of 2,775,000 laying hens and 500,000 pullets. Dry poultry manure will be stored in centralized manure storage buildings at the layer sites, and within the poultry houses at the pullet sites. Currently eggs are processed at the layer site, and egg washwater is stored in a storage structure with a capacity of approximately 650,000 gallons. Hillandale has proposed to construct two new storage impoundments with a total capacity of approximately 980,000 gallons to provide storage for wastewater generated at the proposed egg processing facilities.

   The Department of Environmental Protection (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 reissue the 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 Southcentral Regional Office of the Department.

   Persons may make an appointment to review the Department's files on this case by calling the file review coordinator at (717) 705-4732.

   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. Following the 30-day comment period, the Watershed 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 Environmental Protection Agency permit waiver provision under 40 CFR 123.24(e) does not apply to this NPDES permit.
