HEARING BOARD

Duquesne Light Company v. DEP; Doc. No. 95-241-G

[26 Pa.B. 1875]

   The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) and Duquesne Light Company have agreed to a settlement of the above matter.

   The Department issued NPDES Permit No. PA 0001627 to Duquesne Light Company (DLCo) authorizing the discharge of wastewater to the Allegheny River and Little Deer Creek. DLCo objected to the inclusion of Water Quality-Based Effluent Limitations (WQBELs) at Outfall 002 because they were calculated using an inaccurate, outdated water quality computer model. DLCo also objected because several water quality criteria were revised prior to issuance of the NPDES Permit, but the revised criteria were not incorporated into the WQBELs.

   The major provisions of the settlement are:

   1.  Modification of the Beryllium, Copper and Silver effluent limitations at Outfall 002 reflecting revised criteria and developed using the Model PENTOXSD.

   Copies of the full agreement are in the possession of:
