Alexandria, PA 16611
Huntingdon County

   Plan Description:  The approved plan provides for the construction of 31 single-family homes using individual onlot sewer systems and wells. The project is located off of SR 45. The plan was approved with the following conditions:

   1.  During the permitting of individual sewage disposal systems on each of these lots, the local agency through one of their sewage enforcement officers needs to conduct a percolation test that is in complete compliance with Chapter 73, § 73.15 requirements. This additional percolation data is to be used to size absorption areas for the sewage systems that are permitted by the local agency. The percolation tests provided with the planning module were not performed until a ''stabilized rate'' was achieved, with the exception of percolation test number 63 located on lot number 5. Achieving a stabilized rate when performing a percolation test is required by Chapter 73, § 73.15 (7)(i) of the Department of Environmental Protection's (Department) regulations.

   2.  This site has mapped sinkholes and the potential exists for unmapped sinkholes on this site. A 100 foot horizontal isolation distance must be maintained from the perimeter of the aggregate in the absorption area to the lip of any sinkholes that exist on the site in accordance with Chapter 73, § 73.13(c)(8).

   3.  As a reminder, Chapter 73, § 73.15(7)(iv) states: ''When a percolation test hole is dry at the end of a 10 minute testing interval, that hole may not be used in the calculation of the arithmetic average percolation rate. If 1/3 or more of the percolation test holes are dry at the end of a 10 minute testing interval, the proposed absorption area may not be designed or installed over these holes unless the local agency determines that an anomaly caused the fast percolation rate and a retest of the area is within acceptable percolation rate limits. If no anomaly is discovered, the local agency may accept the percolation test results from the remaining holes if the results are supplemented with the results of additional percolation testing conducted outside of the area in which the dry percolation holes were found.'' Extra care should be taken when encountering ''dry holes'' while conducting percolation testing.

   The Department's review of the sewage facilities update revision has not identified any significant environmental impacts resulting from this proposal.

A work plan for conducting a baseline remedial investigation is required by provisions of the act for compliance with selection of a special industrial area remediation. The baseline remedial investigation, based on the work plan, is compiled into the baseline environmental report to establish a reference point to show existing contamination, describe proposed remediation to be done and include a description of existing or potential public benefits of the use or reuse of the property. The Department may approve or disapprove plans and reports submitted. This notice provides the Department's decision and, if relevant, the basis for disapproval.

   For further information concerning the plans and reports, contact the Environmental Cleanup Program manager in the Department regional office before which the notice of the plan or report appears. If information concerning a final report is required in an alternative form, contact the Community Relations Coordinator at the appropriate regional office.
